Wow, you guys are slugging down the Kool-aid!!! Have a drink on me! Even if the Bills sneak into the playoffs, I can see them losing big time in Indy. They've made tremendous strides, but winning a playoff game in Indy is whole lot different then dismantling a so-so Seahawks team in their house. If somehow they got to play in SD, that might be a different story. They would be fortunate to win one game in the playoffs. That's it. I see great things happening in the future, but this ain't the year. Even the great teams of the 90's had some heartbreakers lost before their eventual success.

I thought the Bills as a organization usually turn down home MNF and Sunday night games. So I wouldn't be surprised to see us play once next year on MNF and twice on Sunday night, with only one of them at home (probably the Sunday night game).

This is the Jest's typical year end swoon. LOOK OUT BELOW!

I love listening to AVP--he's a huge homer, but he's got a great sense of humor. I hope he doesn't take a job with Penn St., he'd be surely missed from the radio booth.

Not bloody likely. You're freakin' dreaming. Willis will be present and accounted for, especially if he's out for any significant period of time towards the end the of year. You can't polish a turd. If he's not up to speed for this week or next week, I'm sure he's waiting for the beginning of the season to show that he's fully healed and realy to go.

world jr. hockey right? on espn2?

"Art Wander" The Tiny Tot of the Kilowatt.

It's not looking so good with Denver kicking the Titans ass right about now.l I guess we'll see.

Thanks for the clarification on Boxing Day, it sounded to us like a day to celebrate Lennox Lewis (just kidding). I'm all for having another day to drink! Love to have another shout at the pub! Have a great day Nick.

Let's hope the Titans open it up. Time for another beer. I've been up since 4:45 this morning. I've got early riser for kids.

Slotless race track. It was a wonder back then. Me and my brother played with that for two days straight. I mean 24/7. Nothing compared.

To me, it gets better every time I see it (like the movie "The Princess Bride"). We have inflicted it upon our kids, and they are beginning to get the humor involved. I think it delves deep into what we hoped Xmas would be as kids, but also into what we hope Xmas woul d be as adults. And, it pretty freakin' funny at the same time.

Albany, I live in the area, and I can help you out, if you how to bring the right level of enthusiasm and a 12 pack of a preferred beer.

A Buffalo Bills ornament. and a playoff berth. I can dream can't it?

30-20, with SF getting 10 points during garbage time. never a close affair. bring on the stillers. TT

It may have a 30-20 score type of feel to it. As long as the Bills can control the game, and never let the 69ers actually think they can win it, they should come away with the W. Like last week, I would love to see a TD from the offense, defense, and ST. That would be a tremendous Xmas gift, and one that would only make us look more dangerous as a playoff team.

i think MM doesn't want to give the 69ers any more info than they have already. make them prepare for either WM or the hanging Shaud.

They really don't need to show it anymore. I mean, I look away from the TV, I've seen in it slo-mo so many times. The Bledsoe injury doesn't bother me that much, but that does get annoying too.

He certainly needs to show something against SF, or his trip back to the pine is pretty much assurred, and trading Henry may be off completely. So far, Shaud has looked pretty good in the preseason against scrubs that weren't going to make the team anyway, and a demoralized Cleveland Browns defense. Against the Bengals, I couldn't tell whether it was him being indecisive, or the O-line wasn't getting the job done. I'd like to get the opinion from somene who knows football enough to say whether or not the Bills were running plays that suit Shaud's style of running. There's quite a difference in size between TH, WM and Shaud.

Thanks for the help. Great game.

I pretty much agree with this. Although I enjoyed this book, I though this was a sneaky way for Tim to write a biography without sounding too high and mighty. The Buffalo/WNY connection a reader feels with this book is somewhat generational. Being in my late 30's, I missed the point of some of the chapters. However, my mother-in-law, who's in her mid-50's laughed at parts of the book until she cried. In summary, it's a pretty good book, but definitely more appreciated by those who can relate to a time gone by.

Altho this is pretty close to the cutoff (pre 1987?), I remember Jim Kelly's first home game as a starter against the Jets,1986. There was a sense of anticipation in the stadium that I"ve never felt before or since. I'd have someone else check this, but I seem to remember him running a TD in. The Bills lost, but I think the magic of Kelly overtook the disappointment of the loss.

JD on IR, whew, I thought this was something important. Play beer!

!@#$ all you scumbags at WalMart, who are slowly selling America to the Chinese one George Foreman grill at a time. This is a company that supports the unionization of Chinese workers at the same time doing everything in their power to make sure that their U.S. retail store employees do not have the same right. In the Company's eyes, the greeter at your local Wal-Mart down the street should have fewer rights in the workplace than the worker that put together your next hair dryer! The catch is for Wal-Mart is that they only will "recognize" unions that are endorsed by the Chinese government. WM's idea of an effective union leaves you to wonder what sort of "democracy" they really want in the US. !@#$ them!

The guy that ran into Freddie on that play knew that it was a penalty also, you saw it in his body language after the hit happened. Totally screwed up a poentially good drive start.
