Oh, one more thing. Had we kept the #14 pick in 2003, we would have likely taken either: DE Micheal Haynes (27 games (career) 42 tackes, 4 sacks) Or DE Jerome McDougle (16games 19 tackles, 1 sack.) Now, do either of them do anything for you? I'd almost rather have bledsoe.

Perhaps many are "drinking the kool-aid" as you say, but I think this is the setiment that was out there to start the season. We always thought this team was close to greatness, but the first half of the season had us doubting TD, MM and the entire team. What we are seeing now is IMO, a return to where we thought we would be at this point. The losman trade was not an "embarassing fleece job". Okay, so say we kept that first rounder. Now today we have only drew and shane matthews and some other random do-nothing third string guy. We would desperatly need someone to take over for drew. We go into this draft looking for a QB with a mid-round selection. Who do you take? Mel Kipers Big board of the top 25 draft eligible prospects includes ONE quarterback (charie frye of akron). Now who would you rather have? Honestly. Perhaps Leinert and Aaron Robers come out, but they will be top 5 picks, and we wouldnt have a chance at them anyway. The drew blesdoe trade was, at the time, a great trade. We absolutley needed to get a good quarterback here, and drew was left high and dry in new england. The way drew played that first season here shows this was not a bad trade. The decline was unexpected and somewhat unexplainable. But one thing this trade did was re-energize the demoarlized fanbase who was about to see the team with AVP as its starter. Also, it showed the league we were making good strides to be competitive, and im sure this move (and others like it), contributed to the signing of guys like takeo spikes. The extension...Well...our hands were kinda tied. I didnt like it either, but on one hand we pay the guy a huge signing bonus and activate the rest of his 100 million dollar contract, or we cut him in november (which with the wya he was playing, might not have been a bad option at that point). The other thing you have to remember is that drew knows his time is limited here, and he still chose to sign an extension for a year he will probably be on the bench. This shows class and character, and he isnt a terrible backup either! All in all, im happy with the personnel we have on this team. As you pointed out, our defense is getting up there in years and some of our young guys (clements) are coming up on FA here soon. My fear is that by the time the O comes around, the D will look like Kansas Citys... But at least thats more exciting football to watch than what we saw the first 9 weeks.

These prisco ratings are CRAP. Not only is seattle ranked ahead of us (which i could get over by itself), but they MOVED UP A SPOT from #14 to #13 after being blown out 38-9!!! Amazing

Why has nobody mentioned Julia Roberts?

He was due back about 5 weeks ago

10-6 and no playoffs would be okay in my book after the way we started and ended. I would rather go out winning 6 in a row than go out geting blown out in indy.

Oh, my mistake.... Come on man... Clinton Portis...17 yards Jamal Lewis.....62 yards Rudi Johnson..yes 123 the first time, 62 the 2nd time I dont know about you, but those are some pretty good backs held to pretty bad numbers. Other RBs this year: Lee Suggs...30 and 38 yards, respectively Westbrook...17 yards Eddie George...28 yards L. Henry....41 yards Wheatley...24 yards Bottom line. They are allowing ONLY 75 YARDS PER GAME on the ground. To put that in perspective, we all know how good buffalos run defense is and they are allowing 97 yards per game! I am not saying willis will not put up good numbers against their D. BUT....their run defense is second to none. Combine that with the bad weather that is expected in january, and its a RUNNING game. It will come down to how well duece/bettis match up against our D, versus WM going against Pitt's D. Matchups are never that simple, but you cant just dismiss that amazing work pittsburghs defense has done against the run this season.

If only Reese put his hand up and defleted that pass vs. jax. If only the travis TD was reviewed in week 2. If only we didnt allow the big play and lose to a last minute field goal against the jets. If...And...But....I know we play the games for a reason, but realistically, we could easilly be 8-3 right now had 3 plays in our season gone the other way, and all 3 of those plays we had the power to stop.

Problem with this logic.... No team has been able to rush against the steelers either. So the game will be riding completely on DREW. And I am sure drew will know what hit him because it happens often. Though I have to give him props today.

With the way julius jones is running, i dont think he is concerned with not drafting steven jackson

I dont know. There is a strong possibility, should they go, that they will play utah. As someone once said, "hard work beats talent when talent doesnt work hard" I never rule out ANY team on a single game basis.

No, its not...but that doesnt change the fact that should the cuse go to a BCS bowl it will be the biggest game in at least recent history for them.

While I would be okay firing Pasq. today IS NOT THE DAY, and this runmor posted that IS NOT TRUE. Syracuse is tied for the big east lead. IF pit loses to south florida (unlikely, but aways possible), syracuse most likely goes to a BCS BOWL!!!! A BCS Bowl. Yes you are reading that right. A flaw in the system allowing the big east to maintain an auto bid might allow syracuse at 6-5 to make a BCS Bowl. Certainally Syracuse will not fire Pasq before the team plays in their bigest bowl game in years (if not ever). Expect this announcement, should it ever come, after syracuse plays in its bowl game this season, and certainally not before Pittsburgh takes on South Florida.

It wont be us. 1) he doesnt fit our mold. 2) why start ANOTHER rb controversey If TD is replaced this idea will gain more credibility, but until then...

These are not photoshopped.... I took the first 2 from yahoo news articles and saved them on my hard drive. I could no longer find them on yahoo, but i found them on these other links. The third one, i think i also got from yahoo news, but I cannot say for certain. These are NOT photoshopped, but real pictures. Regardless, even if they were photoshopped, they woudl still be funny.

Evidently you forgot about the eminem post...and they payton manning post... Hey Kettle. I'm Pot. You're black.

hahaha....absolutly amazing. While we are at it, lets see what lawrence phillips and dimitrius underwood are up to...

No. We would need a RB....but not with our first pick (if he falls that far),. Also, the bills have a history of staying away from troubled players. Ralph likes to have a character team full of good guys. Clarett doesnt fit the bills mold.

Want to talk about odd pictures.... http://net127.com/archives/images/capt.dcn...ardt_dcn104.jpg http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2...b3fcc35e9_4.jpg http://orbital-mind-control-laser.net/imag...h-blah-blah.jpg

We finish 10-6 and miss the playoffs, I will be VERY happy. Disapointed, yes. But I will be VERY happy after starting out 0-4.

Okay...lets say you have 2 colors, lets say black and white. Now add a little white to the black and it still looks pretty black. Add a little black to the white and your white just got pretty gray. Point is, (and I could be wrong), that one blue vote will color a county more purple than one red vote will. I think a government funded story is in order.

Okay...I'll humor you. The 11 states of the old confederacy Georgia Bush +17 South Carolina Bush +17 North Carolina Bush +12 Florida Bush +5 Virginia Bush +9 Texas Bush +23 Louisiana Bush +5 Tennessee Bush +14 Alabama Bush +26 Arkansas Bush +9 Mississippi Bush +20 Now the northeastern states: Maine Kerry +8 New Hampshire Kerry +1 Massachusetts Kerry +25 Connecticut Kerry +10 Rhode Island Kerry +21 New Jersey, Kerry +7 Delaware Kerry +7 Maryland Kerry +13 D.C. Kerry +81! New York Kerry +18 Pennsylvania Kerry +2 So clearly looking over those numbers there is a north/south devide. The same would be true if looking at the mountain states vs. the left coast. the only true battleground states are midwestern states. This divide has gotten STRONGER over the last 4 years. Read zell millers book "a national party no more" and i think you will begin to understand why. The south used to be STRONGLY democratic, but slowly has turned more and more repubican. Another quick comment about this divide thing. Both political parties need to pit us against each other in order to have political success. Its sick, but its what they need to survive. We as people need to step up and tell them we are sick of it.

Sorry, that was me.

Perhaps if Mr. Kerry had positioned himself more as a pro-war anti-terrorism candidate, the presence of the bin laden tape wouldnt have hurt him so much. But with his global test, and votes against the war, something like that was bound to do him in. Good riddance Mr. Kerry

You guys are somethign else. EM is getting FED UP. As are we all. I am glad that he is standing up and making this known. Its painful for me to watch these games, and im not out there every sunday running routes and getting beat up only to see Drew get sacked 5 times and throw 3 picks. He sees his friend TO in philly doing what he is doing, and has to feel he should be doing the same...AND HE SHOULD BE. I dont fault EM one iota on this one folks. He is understandably frustrated.
