I predict at least one of them will sign over the bye-week. That always seems ot be a popular time for teams

Well they could just go out of business instead! Sounds like that would make you happy. Why not just PAY for the paper. And if you're out of town, then all the more reason to buy the online subscription. Why should reading it online be free when you have to buy the paper edition. Hey no one is forcing you to buy it, but if you don't, then stop complaining. How do you expect them to survive if they give away their product. With all the articles available for free, I can't believe that not reading the D&C article would make a differecne anyway as there are so many others ot read. And BTW, I'm out of town myself.

I'd say there are three holes left between the current roster and being a great team assuming no one of great talnet leaves as a free agent they still need: an outside LB, a legit #1 or #2 receiver, and ideally an upgrade at QB. I'd prefer signing a free agent LB as that takes longer to learn, then bring in a rookie WR with a high draft pick, QB, that's a crap shoot, do you draft someone, sign a FA?? I don't think the Bills will be bad enough to be near the top of the 1st round, and trading up that far can be very expensive. Best chance may be to hope they get lucky with someone drafted in the 2nd round which to be honest, unless you're getting Andrew Lucks twin, you have about the same likelihood of success either way. I'd also like to see around a 3rd rounder on another RB

I agree, would rather see them sit out and be 100% than having him keep playing while somewhat nicked up.

Assuming he doesn't get some big offer from another team, but the Bill's maye resign him as a return specialist and as an extra DB. Before the season started many thought he'd be done after this season, now can see a role for him.

I'd be very surprised if Marcell Dareus doesn't get one because of the emotional toll of the past week. Often players dealing some type of personal issue like this will be given one.

I reset my receiver over the weekend. the arrow keys worked properly today was able to switch between games, so guess it just needed a reboot to fix it. Seems the DTV boxes all need to be reset every month or so. I have the new believe it's called HHR ore something?? 5 tuners, holds 200 hours of HD, but seem to be many bugs in the software, have to reset it once a month or so.

I thought intentional grpunding was a loss of down?? When KC had that called against them ,there was no down loss.

Are you talking about Chan? Or Tony Dungy as all the comments you're stating CG lacks so does Tony Dungy, Likely if I thought some more for every intense coach you can come up with there's one on the other end who's very laid back, like say a Marv Levy. I'd even argue that Bill Belichick is laid back, kind of a different style, but not all that intense on the sidelines. There always have been and always will be both styles and both do work, just depends on the players and mainly the talent.

I've often said the same thing, just becaue there's no public plan doesn't mean there isn't a plan. RW may not have told Larry Felser his plans, doesn't mean there's not a plan. RW has enough wealth outsdie the family t okeep them in good shape. It's also possible that RW may have some type of plan that gives Kelly or anyone who wants to keep the team in Buffalo first right of refusal.

I do agree with you, the coaching staff doesn't play to Fitz strength which is handing the ball off! I say that in all seriousness, CG needs to run the ball and not rely on Fitz arm to win games, just let him mange games, run the ball and hopefully the D will improve which would be impossible not to happen considering where the bar was set.

There is some truth in what you're saying, it's also possible the Jet's are much better than people thought. On the other hand tape or no tape can't explain away Fit'z terrible passes. You don't need to tape to be able to see that a defender is right in front of your receiver. I also think emotionaly the Jet's had more to prove as everyone was writing them off and making fun of them, while the Bill's were being praised. I do agree next week will tell alot, if the Jet's go into Pitt and win then they likely are better than many thought, though even with a loss they still may be better than thought as I really doubt Pitt will lose their home opener to anyone following an opening game road loss.

McKelvin certainly struggled, but taking the knee with 20 seconds to go in the half and you're getting the 3rd quarter kickoff was the right thing to do.

Just tried it on my other TV which does have an HD DVR attached and it works as you described. Maybe TV apps just doesn't work at all on receivers?? Only DVR's?? I'll try posting again during week when more DTV experts are around, maybe they will know. Thanks for the suggestions BTW, I'm down the road from you in Wilmington.

I'm just hoping it turns out the Jet's are alot better than anyone thought. Hey Rex Ryan told us that was true. Maybe he really meant it?? Will be interesting to see by mid season if it's true??

I went to the menu button scrolled down to TP apps, clicked it same thing happened got message being loaded, but nothing seems to happen The way this game is going I need the Mix channel

I thought the no TD on I believe it was Holmes was one hell of an amazing call. I mean that second foot came down like maybe mill-seconds later. That was one of the closest calls I've ever seen that the ref's were totally correct on. The easy call would be to rule it a TD and was so close not sure it would have been over ruled.

Waited awhile but nothing seems to happen. I'm using this on a HD receiver, not a DVR, would that make any difference?

That would have been my guess, but when I hit Right arrow I get message pops up "loading TV apps, this may take a moment" then nothing happens; Left arrow takes me to the list command, down does nothing and up takes me to the Quick tune menu.

Question on the Mix channel, Is there are way to switch which game of the eight has the audio feed turned on? Second, is there a way to jump to that station to watch that particular game?

Last thing we need now is a commercial

Wow three games in 4 days on MetLife stadium including today's SU game. That's alot of football regardless of the surface. The crew who paints in the endzones is getting a good workout. Glad the Chefs aren't playing! Hope they have time to mow!!

From everything I've read TWC is willing to pick up NFL network, but on their sports tier. The NFL insists it be placed on the regular tier so everyone can watch it and everyone can pay for it including all those that don't care about football. Certainly you can argue that there are many other channels you don't care about on cable today, but from everything you read, sports is a big chunk of your cable bill, certainly the highest cost per channel. Really can't blame TWC all that much ion this case. BTW recently I did dump TWC for DTV, though the NFL network had nothing to do with my reason. Admittedly being able to get ST did factor in though the real reason for my switch was the huge in crease every year from TWC.

To me it makes no sense, from the get go here in Buffalo he was playing a position he wasn't suited to play and had experience playing. In addition it probably is the deepest position on the roster. I don't recall the timing of his signing the contract, but I believe it was before free agency started. I'll go out on a limb and say that at time they signed him, if they knew they were going to a 4-3 and they knew they were going to sign Mario Williams and Anderson, that contract never would have been signed, or maybe they would have offered him half of what they did. Likely if Merriman knew these things were going to happen, he never owuld have signed an extension, particularly going to the 4-3

I think that may be one of their tricks. I told the person I just wanted the $199 deal at a discount, so she offered me a $5 and $10 credit for 3 months more due to the Viacom issue, in addition she gave me $15 off of ST for two months, then a $25 credit for one month, so basically would have cost me a total of $85. So took the deal. Next day go online and see I got charged another fee for the Max and one of the credits was missing, called up said I never ordered the max, first guy I talk to says well you want it, I'll give it to you for free, but he couldn't take care of the credit had to transfer me to someone else, this guys wouldn't give me both, either the credit or max, I had to choose, so I took the credit. Two weeks later I see I have a free max upgrade on my account, but also a fee for max, so called again, explained how you can easily see I have a free max upgrade offer, but also charge, appears to be a mistake. So finally got the fee removed and max upgrade all for a net fee of $85. Took me around five or six phone calls, complained about their lousy customer service, how many times I'd get disconnected, ironically while I'm explaining to the supervisor about how often I'd get disconnected ..... we got disconnected. He did call me back though, at that point was to the laughable stage. So am happy, but took alot of effort to get the deal it seemed. Thinking about it, probably should go online again and make sure they didn't sneak the fee back on my account again!
