Its better to let him walk now, a year or two early, than let him walk a year or two late

GREAT find!

Yeah, hargrove needs some props in this thread. The guy goes at 200% every play. The guy in intense, always into it. Good team guy it appears

Pictures?

Nah, this year it LOOKED like we had a very easy schedule. It turned out to be very difficult. Cant predict what next year will bring regarding difficulty of schedule

Also, keep in mind we will pick ahead of all teams in the playoffs. If the original link is the way it ends up, and the giants (or someone else at 7-8 in the NFC) makes the playoffs, they will pick after us.

Listen, I was there. I can accept not kicking the FG. What I cannot accept is the complete lack of a plan on that drive. If the decision is "we are too far out for a FG, we need a first down", then you do not run the 3rd down play we ran, and certainly you dont run the 4th down play we ran to pick up the 5 yards needed. Lindell and Moorman were running on the field, then called back. THERE WAS NO PLAN. An absolute disgrace by the coaching staff there. Personally, I would have perfered trying the FG. But it would have been a VERY tough FG given the conditions. But given the fact that the coaches evidently were not going to try a FG without another first down, they play calling and organization of the drive was HORRENDOUS.

Well, not to start the game, but I recall the lions declining the ball in OVERTIME! (that still make me laugh every time i think about it)

Oops. Advisatory committee. Spell check strikes again.

is ANYONE in a league where the team with LT is not winning?

I once knew a second class interior communications electrician named Cox. (IC2 Cox) Oh, Naval Humor.

I GUARANTEE you the enterprise wont be in commission in 2023. Anyone who has set foot on that ship in the last 10 years knows why. And the worst part about naming a ship after Ford, is that not only is it the USS Ford, but its the USS FORD CLASS! It needs to be the America. End of story

sadly, we need the jets loss. a tie hurts just as much

SWAG

Right now: 8%. With a Bengals win tonight, 2%

If i recall correctly, we were DESPERATE for a QB. Anyone we could "try out" would have been acceptable. Luckilly we are where we are, but there was a long period of time where ANYONE was better than what we had...yes even Quincy Carter. Remember, we almost signed jeff blake once too...

I'll be heading to the game with my brother. Just 2 of us. Never spent an outdoor event (of this magnitude) in the winter. Current forecast shows good weather (i.e. low 40s). Not too worried about that (perhaps I should be!). Where is this Danny's place? I assume I can walk there from the stadium?

Yes, there IS a scenario that an 8-8 team can make the playoffs. Here is one. Jets lose to MIA and OAK Pit loses to BAL JAX loses to NE and KC Ten loses to NE Den loses to CIN and SF KC loses to OAK, beats JAX This leaves 7 teams at 8-8 and CIN at 9-7. Actualy, that scenerio isnt too far fetched....alot needs to happen as scheduled, which never happens, but the hardest part of that is OAK beating KC. Other than that, everything seems like a better than 50% chance of each event happening.

Well, I have to drive back to Albany after the game....so its doubtful I will do too much "pregaming"! I have been to many a NASCAR event. I am imagining a similar experience pre-game. i.e tailgaing and I am assuming its a bad idea to show up at noon.... Dont know how much the Kelly Mcguire seats go for. Ticketmaster only has upper deck seats at this point, so ebay it is. Subject to availability of course.

ATH had the question: Do the Steelers or Titans have a shot at the playoffs? WTF, how about the OTHER 7-7 teams.

It might come as some shock to many of you, but I am planning on attending my first Bills game this weekend. I need tickets, but looking at ebay, I dont think thats a problem. Here is my question. 1) Where to sit? Money not an issue. I would think something in the 100 section would be good, but having never been to a pro game im not sure where to sit. I am assuming lower is better and closer to the 50 yard line is better. Perhaps something in 135/136? Where would you sit? Looking to have a good time, but not be around a bunch of raving drunks. 2) How early should I get there before the game? 3) Any tips that are important to know (i.e where to park, traffic patters, etc.) Thanks!

If you told me before the season losman would be ranked ahead of Hasselbeck, Vick, Roeth, Brady, Delomme & E. Manning I would have been very happy.

I hated the losman pick. I saw a pre-draft interview with the kid and thought "cocky S.O.B. I hope to hell the bills dont draft him". Course, when they traded up to pick him, I was less than amused, but vowed to give him a fair shot (did I have any choice?). Eventually his personality has won me over. BTW, in my search to find said ESPN clip, I found these 2 rather amusing links http://youtube.com/watch?v=Fa52YRXoDao http://youtube.com/watch?v=1QAzwjDRjfE (Note: my search failed.) I also recall watching draft recap shows after the draft. With 4 first round quarterbacks, that was much of the discussion. The thought seemed to be that its possible Losman was very good, but was very raw. I think it was Mort who said he needed 2-3 years to blossom and was not NFL ready. I always kept that in the back of my head, even posted it here when things were rough early and got chastized because "nobody drafts a player who needs 3 years of development time in the first round" There were times where I started to doubt. But then he made some outstanding plays to show me the talent is there, but the leadership and confidence were lacking. The past few months have made a great amount of progress. It will be interesting to see how he bounces back from the inevitable bad game/couple bad games in a row. All in all, I think I have been pretty levelheaded with JPs development, realizing no QB was taking us to the superbowl the last 3 years. I too was in the Sherman camp, but I found it quite difficult to criticize Marv Levys handpicked choice to be head coach.

Eh, Clintons only downside is electability. And democrats havent seemed to care about that in their nominations recently. Personally, I think Hillary CAN win a national election, but I anyone who is scared of that will look elsewhere. Thats where Obama needs to push. The difference between the two (from what I know), seems to be more style than substance. The guy I really wanted to see in this race from the democratic side (Mark Warner) has already bowed out.
