There is absolutely nothing Matthews could do right now that would help this team get better. Putting in Matthews would simply allow a handful of people to say "I was right, you were wrong" on either side of the coin, and that does nothing to advance your team. Two more losses and we're done. If Losman is healthy, see what he can do. If Losman can get six, seven or even eight games under his belt this year, THAT advances your team. Matthews does nothing but appease those who need immediate gratification.

Ummm...Brown was cut, Losman was hurt and the next quarterback on the list was BF in Indiana. Putting in Matthews is wrong and will do NOTHING to improve our situation because he has had limited time under center. Attach JP to Bledsoe and Wyche, and when we're completely out of it and Losman is fully healed...put him in and get him going. He could theoretically have seven or eight games under his belt this year before he gets going next year.

Absolutely, positively correct. Putting in Matthews could quite possibly be the single most idiotic idea right now. It has absolutely NO upside and all downside. We know where our team stands now and while some would argue "how could Matthews be worse," it is painfully obvious to anyone who watches this game that playing Matthews changes EVERYTHING because you have to pull plays, dumb down the offense, and JP is left watching an etch-a-sketch version of what he will ultimately see as a QB. You keep your lead QB in, keep Losman on the sidelines by his hip at all times, and when we are completely out of it in another couple of weeks, put Losman in and let him get ready for next year. Matthews is an emergency backup available only when everyone else on the team who can throw a football drops dead on the field.

That's why I stopped reading him, Todd. It's just too obvious that he enjoys watching us lose. He loves to see the Bills fail and then tell everyone why they failed and then, when he can, tell everyone how RIGHT he was about the inevitable failure. I HATE people who find it necessary to remind anyone that they were right.

Damn, I thought 32.3 was the over/under on the number of times today we're going to read "I was right about Bledsoe all along, and you're all fuggin' morons for not being as smart as me." I'll take the over.

I was just getting ready to say the same thing about you.

I'm certain they're with Joe DiMaggio. "Bills nation turns their lonely eyes to you."

Thanks for the update. If you see my ex-girlfriend fuggin' my best friend, be sure to keep me informed.

There are a lot of things to B word about. This isn't one of them.

Welcome to 2001, CL.

Here, this'll flush it out. "Pilot of the airwaves, here is my request. You don't have to play it but I hope you'll do your best. I've been listening to your songs on the radio, And you seem like a friend to me...."

Yeah. We'll call it "My Big, Fat Obnoxious OT Thread."

Normally I'd be excited about our game today, but you know...in a funny way...I really can't wait until tomorrow to find out what kind of weekend stevestojan had. Hopefully by the late afternoon everyone will be done discussing the Bills so we can find out the really important things: did he get robbed? meet a girl? go to a movie? take a dump? Can't you just feel the excitement from all the anticipation?

This is another Look At Me Thread, isn't it?

Who are you calling old, Father Time?

Buster? I barely know her.

Amen. Great post. My regards to your grandparents. I miss these types of stories.

If you can get it, usually at speciality stores, try goat milk. Use it like a mouthwash over the sutures. It's supposed to be very helpful for healing.

Is there something you'd like to tell us, Wacka?

I had a friend whose cousin's wife had two wisdom teeth pulled and she bled so much they had to strap her to the dentist's chair and turn it upside down to get blood to her head, and hold her there for seven hours. The only thing they could do was feed her ice cream and wait for the bleeding to stop.

First, BF I appreciate the attempt at posting something about football. I wish it weren't so Rudy-esque, but whatever. You made the effort. The Bills have the ability to put points on the board against anyone provided they gameplan team-to-team and not generically for whomever shows up across the ball from us. Kansas City showed a fundamental flaw in Baltimore's defense, and if MM and the boys are smart they'll study that tape and work in some underneath and sideline passes, which had Ray Lewis and the LB corp huffin' and puffin' like the three fuggin' little pigs. Everyone needs to stop thinking their D is indestructable. Granted, KC has a strong OL, but if the Ravens were so incredible, how did KC beat the living crap out of them...on PRIME TIME...in their own stadium, when they hadn't won a game all freakin' year!??! Consider that KC, against Baltimore, finished with a 398-207 advantage in total net yards and held the ball for 39 minutes, 43 seconds. AND they kept pulling off Bills-like shoot-yourself-in-the-foot manuevers or it would have been even worse. If KC can beat them at home WITH Lewis playing, so the hell can we WITHOUT Lewis playing. Shut out. What a maroon.

My sister got a really bad infection when she had hers taken out and she wasn't allowed to eat solid food for over a week.

Promo, I suspect they feel like a 5-0 team. Should you remember what that feels like, send me a note, wouldcha?

There is a difference, my friend. You're taking a specific group of people from a specific part of the world who are trying to kill us...and apparently anyone else in its path...in mass quantities, and you're comparing it to a bunch of people in our own freakin' country who can't even get through a baseball game without something getting overturned and someone getting killed for no good reason at all. Two different things and two different problems. Maybe people are screaming because it's not bad enough we have other people trying to kill us, but now we're apparently getting good at doing it to ourselves for no good reason at all. Cop's fault, crowd's fault, beer's fault, my fault... maybe it's your fault, Chuck...but you'd think with the world we live in now, everyone would just try a little harder not to hurt ourselves. And for what it's worth, you should never try to take away a man's beer. Not during playoffs of any sport.

I love how you say you're leaving for the day...and never leave.
