LeBeau definitely knows Bledsoe's tendencies (North Dallas Forty ref), so subs or not, Bledsoe better have his best game in tow for the Blitzburg boys will be coming hard at him all afternoon. This game, much more so than in any of the recent games, will need some production from the TE position. Blocking, hot routes, etc. Shelton and McG will also need to bring their "A" games with them as well. Last week's resurrection of the No-Huddle was a nice touch. Will it be used much against Blitzburg? Use it or not, I like having that option available.

"Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream....." (Tomorrow Never Knows - REVOLVER)) One of my all time favorite Beatle tunes.....but then there are so many that I still can listen to over and over to this very day. Listening to it right now.... Darn memorable vids....Christ, I'll have to dig out my Complete Beatles VHS tape now......... Ah, the memories....

Thurman Thomas (107) and Derrick Holmes (122) against Washington, 1996. Thurman Thomes (103) and Kenny Davis (181) against Atlanta 1992. Thurman Thomas (117) and Kenny Davis (108) against Indianapolis 1991. Simpson and Braxton did it three times. First was Cookie Gilchrist and Wayne Crow back in 1962.

The major difference between Wade and GW was that Wade still had some horses to run with. GW had none. They both had basically crap for a staff (with notable exceptions, that being their Defensive coordinators). As for the "speech", maybe that was a bit strong, but it certainly got better mileage than most speeches do so maybe "speech" wasn't strong enough. Would I take Wade over GW as HC, yes, but not without thoroughly scouring the football playing world first. P.S. Max Bowman was the schmuck Wade hired as assistant to the HC and TE coach, who's only claim to fame was that he was Wade's neighbor.

How about his "infamous" speech he made before the Colts game in 2000 where he said that neither the Bills nor the Colts were going to the playoffs, as we both were eliminated. Yet, the Colts went on the win a few more (we lost to the Colts) and made the playoffs. He was a dumb jerk. Sure, a decent defensive coordinator, but a lousey HC. Let's not forget his wonderfuul staff. Carl Mauck come to mind? Or how about the Bills TE coach under Wade. Hhe was a assistant to an assistant (exaggeration, but not much) who got the Bills job because he was Wade's neighbor? Or what about Pendry....No, Wade did plenty of damage. Plenty. Seriously poor HC. Piss on Wade. Oh, and let's not forget Ronnie Jones....jeez....give us a break.

Thank god for that too....Marino....LOL...loved watching him whine play after play when he was losing against the Bills (which was more often than not)... Now if he just gets canned from Inside the NFL (HBO)....Give me Dawson, Buoniconti (spelling?), Collinsworth and yes, Glanville.

God bless little Gus and the entire Gioia family. As we are only hours away from Christmas day, what could possibly be a better day to bring little Gus to the forefront of our hearts and prayers.

.......and McGee's returns had nothing to do with this selection? Meaning it wasn't necessarily his stellar CB play, which wasn't very good early in the year.

Ah, excuse me, but I do recall seeing McGee return some kicks last year. Also, if I'm not mistaken, he was also noted as a very good return man coming out of college. Not to take anything away from April, but McGee was "found" before he came aboard the ship. What I want to know is why the GW & staff stick with Antonio Brown as long as they did?

I did the "tweeks" right after it was posted (albeit a bit too briefly), and I will attest, they really give Firefox a kick in the....

You sure about that? The sacks don't count against the QB's yardage totals, only against the team yardage totals, or so it appears to me.

Shannon Sharpe, Mr. Mumbles......heck, half the time you can't understand him, the other half you'd wish he'd go away. It pains me to say this, but Shannon makes Deon look good.

God, as much as I hate to agree with you, Brady is still a pretty darned good QB. 2 rings prove it. It's not as if he didn't make the plays needed to give the Pats a shot at both wins either. The Pats aren't Gods, but they're still pretty darned good. Their record speaks for itself.

Better take another look at Brady.....he's a bit above average..

It really wouldn't matter either way. We'll all be left wondering "what if" hadn't we dumped the first 3 of 4 games by 8 points total.....

I'm about 65-70 miles north of Cinci and its currently 14 F with 20 mph winds (a bit on the gusty side). Its very similar to the weather we had for the Bills and Pats game back in the early 80's when Fergie and Roland Hooks hooked up twice on prayers to pull out a last minute win.....

Similar numbers here. This year looks more like a 5-7% range but the final numbers haven't yet hit the books. Hopefully......

You simply refuse to give McGahee an inch don't you? He may never be what he could have been, but he's developed into a very solid back already, and IMHO, he's going to make it back, big. Other than that, you made some solid points.

Big Sam was a bit quiet against Miami after playing like a mad man since his sideline tirade, but he was unstoppable this week. Sam Adams has had himself a pro-bowl season. When he turns it loose, it's absolutely amazing how quick he is. He explodes. No top end, but one hell of a first gear.

One thing I liked about Shaud was that he seems to have "vision". To me, Henry is one tough runner, but I don't think I can say he's ever had "vision". Shaud could be helpful in a James Brooks or Dave Meggett kind of way, but I don't see him as much more than a 15 carry a game type. But he could surprise. He's built pretty well and does have some pop in him.

I would tend to believe both contributed to the bad performance between the two. Moulds seems to be having a bit more difficulty getting separation these days, he gets his hands on a number of throws, but doesn't bring them in. Drew, as noted, made a number of poor throws as well, but to give them both a break, there was some weather factors as well. All in all, we need a better perofrmance from Moulds and Drew this week. Moulds has had some great games against the Bengals and we sure could use another this week. Yet, here's to hoping they expand on Lee Evans this week even more. Moulds ego aside, Evans is ready for a monster game.

Saimes was anything but obscure, at least to any old time Bills fan. As I began to follow the Bills, after their run on AFL championships., as a child, I recall playing a football game call Strat-o-matic (they also had a great baseball game that I played for a number of years), and there was George Saimes, the FS, with a player rating of 6, the best rating possible. I asked my step father if Saimes was really any good, and he simply said he was the "best".

Happy Birthday Johnny. March 12, 2000, the day my Little John was diagnosed with ALL (Leukemia) seems almost a lifetime ago. After 39 months of chemo (ended on 5/11/04) he has tested clean now for 6 months. He began Kindergarten this year and since I work evenings, I've always had him with me when my wife worked. Letting him go to school was very difficult even if only for half a day. Admittedly, I cried. I cried because I wanted him to stay with me, I cried because I worried that he wouldn't be cared for as I do him, but mostly I cried because he could go. And now because Christmas is almost upon us, it's time to step back a moment and be thankful for what gifts we have. Next to my wife, my children have been the greatest gifts bestowed upon me and it's taken me until my late 40's to realize this. Little Johnny adds a giant exclamation point to this. So for everyone out there who's still battling over what life is all about, I hope this may help to direct you to find what really matters. To everyone here, Merry Christmas.
