I was at this one: http://www.billsdaily.com/articles/thunder/ne2.html I remember it was relatively warm when I got into Buffalo from Syracuse at about 9 am that morning. But the wind was howling and the temperature dropped quickly and consistently throughout the game until blizzard conditions hit during the game. I remember how surreal it looked with the lights on and the snow swirling around. Drive home was a nightmare, especially since i stopped at my sister's for dinner after the game and played some pool with a buddy in Clarence. That was a loooong cold day. Oh, and they lost in OT.

au contraire! I have been watching since well before the playoff drought, and have seen the same conservative game management, poor O-line play, bad quarterbacking, and defense that lets down or wears down when we need a stop the most. This is very much the same team, even if the names have changed.

I can second, or third, the D5100. Got mine a few years ago, and my daughter now has one too. In fact, she took my 35mm f1.8 lens because she does more portraiture than I did. Nikon's lenses that came with the kit Promo described have performed well. I have Nikon's wide angle zoom (18-55mm) and longer zoom (55-200mm) and those serve most situations. If you are just getting into a DSLR, you will have more than enough versatility and quality for your needs. Enjoy! P.S. Be sure to get UV and polarizer filters for your lenses - provides protection against damage to the glass and enhances the photo quality.

Actually, the Bills can beat each of their remaining opponents. Unfortunately, the Bills have a greater chance of beating themselves.

wow - this thread has almost 20,000 views in less than 12 hours. Beerball has lots of followers.

It's taken quite a few years (of therapeutic work ) to not take the Bills' ups and downs as seriously as I used to (which started in 1968). The first game I ever attended the Bills lost to the Raiders 48-6. Yesterday's game would have been much more frustrating for me if it wasn't so familiar and sadly, predictable. I understand this group of players has no connection to the past, but it's amazing the Bills as a team has so consistently failed through their own ineptitude over the years. Seeing this played out over the past 46 years, with only a few stints of success, gets old and frustrating. So, I learned to detach and not get too caught up in the Bills misfortunes. But to expect anonymous people on a Bills' message board to react in a measured and sane way is unrealistic. The venting here might prevent someone from punching a wall, kicking the dog or yelling at their kid. Or posting here might precede those events....who knows. I actually enjoy the overreactions. The guy calling for Crossman's head, for instance, was amusing, as were the responses he got. It actually helps me to get over the losses when I read people's overreactions and I remember this is just a game, and not very important in the grand scheme of my life. To make a general post condemning other people's reactions is equally amusing, as are the responses. So, keep it up TSW - the intended and unintended humor are much appreciated, as are the serious posts providing great insight, analysis and links to interesting resources. The only thing that would make this place better would be having a poster's BAC associated with each post.

"After three hours in the operating room, Rose removed 15 lbs. of breast tissue." Looks like 15 pounds off each one! She does look amazing, but can't imagine the scars that left.

Can't Pegula just buy Sammy a new groin? How much can they cost?

Love it when the bye week coincides with the fall time change. Extra hour of sleep AND get to watch Manning and Brady duel it out. Doesn't get any better than that (almost).

No, "you're" a moron.

We couldn't get CJ in space, and now with that Antares rocket blowing up down in Virginia, I don't know how we'll ever get either guy in space.

LOL, yes. But my Battered Fan Syndrome is well down the list of things we are trying to address!

Being a fan since 1968 has definitely warped (destroyed?) my sense of optimism when it comes to the Bills' prospects at mid-season. I can't help but wince during our bye week each year. Don't blame the victim!

I am definitely taking a wait and see attitude. I do feel a sense of "Groundhog Day" about the coming second half of the season. Even if the Bills somehow slip into the playoffs, it's likely to be an away game, and it's likely their O-line deficiencies will be exploited big time. Making the playoffs only to be taken out in the first round isn't that much better than not making it in - in my fan-view. I'm more interested in seeing them at least compete for a conference championship game, and that's not going to happen with the present O-line. If the line somehow gels enough to actually present a challenge to win a playoff game this year, I'll be very, very happy. I feel like if we can keep our defense intact (by not losing Hughes and others) we have a great chance to contend for the conference championship next year with some O-line additions and growth in those young players.

Is it certain that Hackett is still calling the plays? I didn't see the entire game, but it seemed like every time they showed Marrone when the Bills were on offense, he was talking into his headset from behind his play sheet.

Makes me want to drive from Syracuse to Buffalo just to fly Southwest http://www.ispot.tv/ad/7Nv5/southwest-airlines-smiles

Not me. The Bills screw the pooch every game going into halftime. Thank God they got it figured out at the end of the game.

"....but I am happy that Nate Hackett will be taking over as head coach, obviously"

Hughes wearing 55 and running with flailing arms reminds me of Biscuit

That site also has Van calling the second half and OT of the Comeback game for free download http://www.staffannouncer.com/houstoncomeback.htm

To quote Doug Marrone: "Obviously"

Trying to get the poster to accept your point is like trying to get the Bills to sign Incognito.
