Ugliness is in the eye of the beholder.

After watching Holcomb pass, I think they have to change it to the WNFL for him to start.

I've seen the Bills make too many subs look good over the years. I wouldn't count this a win until it is in the books.

I tried to watch the 1st down play. The running back that is deep goes to cut block the pass rusher. The line blocks the view so you cannot see exactly what is happening. Looks like he rolls on the rushers feet but not enough to stop him from jumping. I believe it is McGahee but I never did see his number clearly.

I just edited out all the commercials in my copy. The second half was brutal. Must have been a commercial every 3 minutes. What the networks must love is a high scoring game. They can really pack them commercials in between the score, the point after and the kickoff.

I thought the TB offensive plan was very NE like. A lot of short passes to receivers that always seemed wide open. NE would probably throw the ball downfield more. but then again, TB really did not have to. This is somewhat of what I would have seen the Bills try for the last 3 years but they can't seem to call plays like this or maybe they do and they just don't execute. Anyway, the main reason for mentioning this is we obviously play NE twice. Looks like some defense adjustments are in order.

I went back and looked at the play in question. JP clearly points to one of the DB's before the snap, I am assuming he yells to someone to pick him up. WM goes to take him but the guy dodges inside and only gets chipped. If this was the only guy blitzing , the play still may have worked but another DB from further outside was also blitzing. There was also a LB blitzing who mearly got chipped but barely to the outside by I think Williams. As they blitzed on the same side JP was rolling to, it didn't leave him with much room. It was the second DB and the LB that made the play. It was either a bad offensive play call or a great defensive play call.

I don't agree with the Fletcher statement. With 6 min left in the 1st quarter, TB was driving until Milloy got the sack. The were running at will at that point. Maybe later in the week others who analyse the game will take a look at the first quarter. Maybe it wasn't quite as bad but it was still there.

SDS must feel like the Bills coaches. He gave someone a job to do and they quickly failed to do it.

The pattern I see is if the Bills are winnng you think the QB is great, otherwize you think they suck. It is still a team game. Kelly was as much a product of his environment as the other QB's. Best talent in the league in two out of the 4 SB, and he didn't win.

That's one of the best lines I have ever seen here.

Wow, I am surprized you knew Mom's. Your right about it being cold, well room temp, and still tasting great. And I believe you are right about 56th street. If you went out to what I think was Pine Ave, you could check out the Bug of the Month Is the Niagara st area the part of town you were from?

I'm trying to think what building they are in that I would have known but right now I'm not picturing any. On another note there was a pizza place off of Buffalo Ave when you were heading out of town. Past Hooker, just past the firestation. There was a restaurant on the corner. Take a left go about two blocks. The place was called Mom's. Greatest sliced pizza I've ever had. Was square cut into squares. In the 60's it was 10cents a slice. I believe this may have been Buzzi's parents. Buzzi's sauce has a similar taste.

Where on Niagara St is Pizza Oven. I spent my first 9 years near 24th and Niagara.

I have it from a good source that when JP ran over to Reed the conversation went something like this. JP-"You were suppose to turn the other way" Reed-" no, I distictly heard you say at the line of scrimmage, "Excuse me while I kiss this guy", which means I turn the other way. JP- " No, I said "Excuse me while I kiss the SKY". Reed - " Must have been the crowd noise" That's what they were laughing about.

Joe Ferguson used to complain about that. Or more specifically, that everyone in the division had a white helmet with a logo. Said he couldn't tell his receivers from the opposition. Just in case you didn't know.

Looks like a clear case of, if McGahee faulters, you get the blame.

Even Ice would have waited till game 5 to call for JP's head. Seriously, if they are losing and the stadium is full, JP will still be playing. If attendance is down, Holcomb will play.

I can't see the name Joey Harrington and not think of Joey Heatherton. The second Joey is a lot better choice.

How about this arguement. Buy oil only from those companies that buy it outside ot the U.S. Last I knew, oil was a limited resource. It isn't going to last forever. So why not use their's and keep ours. Actually it is really a shame that it is used for transportation. Oil or oil derivatives are used everywhere in our economy. If it gets much more expensive, this may really start showing itself. Oh the money issue. I'll bet they could find thousands of sources for terrorist funds, oil being just one of them.

The one picked off waivers was Jack Kemp.

Isn't Leroy the Darien Lake exit? I know whichever one it is, the Thruway backs up when anything big is going on.

You know it all defines how you define #1, in yards, in points? I would rather see them rated a lot lower but being able to say "We made all the stops we had to." Until they can stop a team when they have to for a win, I don't think where they are rated makes any difference. BTW, that post earlier to give them a name. I would have suggested the "Not ready for prime time Defense."

A short story goes with this. I thought the temp would be around 0 but figured it was too round of a number which many would take so I figured about -3F. The lady next to me said she had no idea of what to say, so I said, "Just right down -40." She said, "but is that F or C," I said " Let the pilot figure that out" knowing it was the same. She won. I always wondered if it would have been any warmer at Noon, but I'm figuring not much.

Come on now, it all depends which side of the "Isosceles Fence" he was on.
