  1. I'd take a year or 2 or rebuilding at this point if it meant that we'd have some real change (hell - we've been rebuilding for damn near a decade now - what's another year or two?). Unfortunately, I see the same old mediocrity in the next two years - some hit and miss draft picks, a coach that can't seem to get the team to win more than 8 games, and a quarterback that shows some signs but ultimately isn't the answer. 2 years from now we'll be gladly waving goodbye to Trent knowing he's not the guy, we'll have some excitement about the next kid who's looked decent in a few games, we'll be excited about some of the young players on our teams, and we'll watch our star players reach the end of their contracts and sign with other teams, all while wondering why we can't get to double digit wins - it's a frickin' broken record - the same story we've had for 9 years.
  2. Jauron extension annoucement in 3...2...1...
  3. when was the last time we made one of those?
  4. 4 white jerseys, nobody can prevent the pass...
  5. Wow - way to almost blow it - get all the way down and put the ball in the hands of Omon, a guy who has what, 5 carries all season? WTF?
  6. How many times does a guy catchy a ball with 4 or more Bills right in the area - they catch that every time...
  7. Honestly, EVERYONE on this team, players, coaches EVERYONE should go. Start with a Higth school team - at least we won't have to pay them much and our expectations will be correctly low.
  8. For the 10th week in a row the highlight of the game is the Beyonce commercial....
  9. How the hell do you not see that blitz?
  10. Light snow and 11 degrees north of Boston, MA. Woke up to 8" of snow this morning, we are due to get another 8-10" of snow tomorrow. Gotta love weekends spent keeping your driveway clear - very relaxing
  11. Yeah, but I still need to submit a DNA sample, an original birth certificate and undergo a body cavity search when I want to buy cold medicine at CVS....
  12. 200 packages of Sudafed
  13. Yeah, like this guy's not going to appeal the decision.... Let's see - he sued for $54 million dollars over a pair of pants, thinks "satisfaction guaranteed" is without any limits, lost his job when people realized he was a nut, and now all of a sudden he's going to say enough is enough? This guy doesn't have an ounce of reason in him - he'll appeal to the Supreme Court and the go totally berzerk when the high court refuses to take a case of such Constitutional importance...
  14. It's a fan site - run by someone who is very dedicated to what he does. The site says daily and means it, even in the offseason when there's not much going on. Much of that is ferreting out the latest news reports on the Bills from various other news sources and cosolidating them on the site se we don't have to go looking all over for Bills information. Plenty more is commentary from the viewpoint of the fan, not the professional sportswriter who has to maintain a relationship with the Bills organization - that's why the commentary is a lot more personal and sometimes heated - just the voice of us frustrated fans.
  15. That's the problem - this team wins just enough to forever keep us in mediocrity - we are never so bad that things need to be shaken up in the front office, nor are we in a position to drop the cream of the college crop. Instead, we lose enough that it takes us years to make any management/coaching changes and we continually don't get the guys we really want in the draft. Win more, lose more - do something to keep us out of the perpetual purgatory of 6-9 wins a season that doesn't do anything for us....
  16. Wow - I hate it when stuff like that happens. Word actually saves files automatically most of the times and they're not always .tmp files - sometimes they start with a ~, sometimes they may be a .wbk file - it depends on your version of Word and the OS you're running. Microsoft has a good support topic that gives advice on things to try: Try this...
  17. Sine the Bills last made the playoffs, only 3 teams have failed to recah the playoffs (1999-2008) - the Bills, the Detroit Lions, and the Houson Texans. Since the Texans haven't even been around for that entire time I don't really think they belong on that list. The Bills and the Lions - ever other teams has figured out a way to make it to the plaoffs at least one in the last 9 years - sickening. It's alwys "next year" when you're a Bills fan - that's why we are so despondant.....
  18. I agree with those who point the the fast start - we were flying high and when we fell we fell from a distance and it seems to hit harder. I'd also add a few more factors: 1. The injury to Tom Brady in week 1 had many people believing that the division was up for grabs - no longer a forgone conclusion that the Pats would win it and to see the playoffs you'd need a wildcard. The Pats were tantalizingly vulnerable. 2. After the 2007 season and all the injuries, we were finally healthy - half our starters were not on IR - now we could realy show how good a team were were! 3. Trent and other young players who had shown flashes had full offseason and training camp to get better 4. We though we filled some key holes - Stroud at DT and a tall #2 WR in Hardy - we were going to stop the run and have a red zone threat - a guy you could lob the ball up to in the corner and he'd go get it
  19. That we are 1 year away from making the playoffs - 2 years, max....
  20. 5dbs and we still give up the first...
  21. Excellent - now we lose a timeout on yet another terrible challenge...WTF? Seriously, someone should die for this sh#$%!
