Given the NFL salary cap situation, the quality of coaching on any team takes on a much bigger role than in the past. There is less talented depth available, and because of this, preparation is more important than ever, even resulting in the development of talent that was not forseen on draft day. The fact that the Pats had the two best coordinators in football allowed them to overcome injuries and repeat. Pittsburgh served us our heads with second line players who were well-coached for an entire year, and eager to implement the techniques they had absorbed (in addition to being fresh). That said, Bills fans can be encouraged with the move to Losman, as Sam Wyche will continue to mold this now- healthy talent for an entire offseason. Wyche is inspirational, has seen it all twice, and will not let the kid go astray, even in the face of success. Roethlesberger was not as much of a freak last year as some may think. He was in an established system, surrounded by a solid team, and could hand off to a Bus with something to prove, behind a fine OL. Which brings us to a second critical area- OL. Once again, the quality of coaching could mean the largest potential upgrade there. McNally made strides last year, but the trend must continue to make sure the Bills are a successsful run first team. If that proves true, JP might just drive defenders nuts with his arm or his legs on third and short. Bobby April is proof positive that getting the right coach is the fastest way to improve a unit. Practically a worst to first story, largely because of him. Take heart, Bills fans. This team is in good hands, and ready to take the next step.

I know the feeling. I'm married to a girl who doesn't like to cook, only cleans under pressure, but I'm happy anyway...40DDD's can make up for a lot. (And she knows it, bless her heart).

...can we assume that your adspace would have more ...content?

If he's still involved with that, then we don't need him. Just not Travis to Miami- potential mistake.

What's GHB? Is it like pierogis, golumbis, or kielbasa?

Maybe I don't get it, but didn't Drew have a long-term deal with the Pats before we were suckered- I mean before we traded for him?

Sebastian Janikowski. I know he comes with a little baggage, but he was 8-10 from 40-49 yards last year, and adds a lot of leg to kickoffs. If you check his history, his percentage has gone up every year he's played. He could solve the position for 10 years. Heck, throw in Lindell too so Davis thinks he's getting a deal.

Yes, I do admit that- still, it truly doesn't matter what you think about it. You, on the other hand, just admitted to being a jackass. Thanks.

Lee Harvey strikes again- you must be so proud.

Sorry about the inadvertent clone thread- not my intention. If I'm not mistaken, sports are entertainment, not life and death, and therefore speculation is invited. The funny thing is, I called the 6- game win streak to setup the finale with Pittsburgh. Luck, I know, but it was enjoyable.

How about for once you put out an original thought, maybe stick your neck out a bit, instead of just sniping at everyone else?

We may end up with the same record as now. Mia- 2 wins. Jets- split. Pats- as long as Drew starts, 0-2. Atl-L. Car.- L if away. NO-W. TB- W. Den-L. KC-W if in Buffalo. Oak-W. SD.-L Cin-W. Hou- W. =We probably miss the playoffs again. If this is what keeping a limited Drew as the starter means, then lets risk it and open the competition to give Losman a shot in camp. Roethlesberger was an exception, but look what fresh blood (and in Losman's case, mobility) can do. The reason SD and the Jets are ahead of us isn't their defenses, running backs, receivers, or special teams. Let's see...who does that leave?

I didn't like the decision the minute they called for Lindell. Two and a half feet for a first down, against the second string D- c'mon. If I'm not mistaken, the Stillers were keeping in most of their starting OL, and they were starting to push us around before their last drive. So the decision was, our starting OL with momentum against their scrub D vs letting their starting OL back in the game. Sure enough, they took it to us. Next Bills drive, we move right down the field- to late. I think Cowher was offering Mularkey a way to win- it's a shame he didn't take it.

Watching the Giants game, before they closed in for the winning TD, they got to the 35 yard line and the play-by-play guy said, "Well, they're within Christie's range- he's 3 for 4 from over 50 yards this year". Somebody tell me why we got rid of this guy or didn't try to get him back this year? Sooner or later, a bad PK is going to bite a team in the a%&, and that's what happened to the Bills yesterday. I know it was only Kansas City, but watching Flutie rip them at 42 years old is nothing short of inspirational (no pun intended). He worked a TD drive with a little over a minute left in the 1st half- and looked like a winner, not the slouching, "I-can't-believe-I-didn't-see-them-coming" look that we've grown accustomed to from Drew. Let's hope Losman is as advertised- a larger version of Doug Flutie. We should be so lucky.

What hurts the most, is we could have taken the game with a late TD, not a lame FG try.
