Spiderweb

The kid Nugent played High School ball here just outside Dayton (Centerville, Ohio) and was a phenom even then. Here's to wishing the local kid well.

Minivans are the best choice. Sure, no points for style or prestige, but are excellent for families, are configurable for hauling quite a bit of cargo, and have gas mileage far superior to Trks & SUV's. Had a 94 Cravan, and now have a 03 Grand Caravan. With the 3.3 liter engine I gotten a hair over 27 mpg on my last trip to Buffalo. SUV's are too expensive, and too expensive to operate. If you get just get by the "status" thing, Minivans simply make the best sense in most, maybe not all, but most cases. When I bought the 03 Grand Caravan, I too wanted an SUV but after all the research and the costs, I just could justify buying one. Happy I didn't too.

Gee thanks, just lost a half hour...wow !!!

Hindisght being 20/20, had we re-signed Hollis last year, we would have had a kicker on the pay role out for the season with back problems. What I question is TD's mentality towards these kickers. Good ones are worth their weight in gold, just ask the Pats. I also question the Bills ability to properly assess a place kicker. Shayne Graham replaced that Charlie Brown wanna be Jake Ariens, then he's let go. OK, we got Hollis, a step forward, Shayne Graham moves on and has become a consistent and accurate kicker for the Bungles. Hollis isn't resigned so we move on to Lindell (who doesn't seem to have much leg strength despite his size, and lacks consistency). Lindell is a step backwards and if Hollis is healthy, he's be a guy we could use. I still think he showed up at camp to keep his name in TD's mind, for what it was worth anyway.

Let the prayers begin. From my family to yours. May God bless...

I don't think he looked timid at all against Jax. In fact his fight cost us his fumble at the 7. he tried to get more yards. Moulds is back, you'll see

Nice perspective, and I agree. Yet, Bledsoe does seem at times to lack the fire, the self confidence., the will. I kind of see K Helmut's point, but Drew didn't lose this game.

You had to bring up Luckett's name. He and Coleman STOLE that New England game from us 4 - 5 years ago. I'll always dislike those two idiots.

The earliest we might see Malloy would be after the bye, for game three, but something tells me it could be another game or two. He's not a young buck anymore. Healing takes a bit longer with each passing year. And yes, he was MISSED !!! Wire is toast. End the experiment.

And with a week 3 bye, you'll have two weeks to get "up" for game three. Unfortunately, valium won't do it.

DITTO, that's what I tried to explain to my wife was that he went out on his own momentum, not by a hit. Ref's didn't see it that way though. Bad call, and Jimmy Smith's 46 yard catch to get them deep into Bills territory was aided greatly by his push off on Clements. Used both hands too. Ref right there, no call.

Yep, right after the 46 yard catch by Smith. Out of frustration, but it cost us 5 yards none the less. Unacceptable. Kick the turf you idiot, not the ball.

I think maybe you're right about the spark lacking in Bledsoe, but today he executed the game plan as presented. I don't recall him going to an audible at all. In fact, I felt he was reigned in a bit too much. Where was the long ball? Not once did we go deep. The offense was so conservative Bledsoe was made a non-factor. Don't let him bomb away, but let him attempt a few down the field throws. That's always been his strength anyway. Maybe the coaches were worried that the pass protection wouldn't hold up, but dag, you've got to try to keep the defense honest. I like pounding the ball, and it appeared in the 4th we were on our way until that damned holding call on Villarial. Went from in field goal range with a 1st & 10, to a third and 11. Surely that wasn't Bledsoe's fault. The two plays Bledsoe pissed me off with were the WR screen to Moulds. Read the damn D Drew, they were waiting for it, they were there, and he threw it anyway. Bad play call to boot by Clements as he had just showed that a few plays earlier with the fake. That, and I still believe the FB swing at the goal line was there and he gave up on it too soon and went looking for a WR or whatever. But we had a fair number of drops and fumbles, so there was plenty of blame to go around besides laying it all on Drew.

I like seeing some balance brought to Bledsoe's game, but I agree that if you're not gonna take your shots downfield, then Bledsoe is underutilized and becomes irrelevent.

Oh great , a philosopher to settle my aching stomach.....

Of course you're right, but we need to let off some steam first.... What no call? That was blatant Offensive Pass Interference.... I feel better now.....

That's a big "yepper".

.. He thinks he's good to go now, or so it's been reported.

Now to that extent, I agree whole heartedly. I have no problem with running the ball, especially late in the game, the opposing DL getting tired, etc. But throughout the game, we failed to try to open the field up a bit. A couple deep throws may have helped emensely, especially if they were successful. Moulds is healthy, Evans runs like a deer, gotta keep 'em honest.

Mike Hollis, who is available and looking for work.....

The only gaffe I found in Bledsoes play today was the 3rd and goal play. Seemed he gave up on the FB swing way to quickly. Shelton (I believe it was) was open once he got to the endzone. Bledsoe would have had to go over the LB though and that play isn't designed that way ideally, but it should have worked and been a score anyway, at least from what I saw of replaying it 10 times already. A possible second was the screen to Moulds, which never should have been thrown. Other than those two, he played solidly.

If I recall correctly, and I reveiwed it on tape a few times already. Smith actually pushed with both hands. Blatant and obvious, yet no call. Boy this is gonna be a tough year on DB's

You seem to have forgotten that we had the fiirst down and McGahee was actuall past Villarial when the "supposed" hold occurred. We were actually pounding the ball, with our backup (for now) back and succeeding.

Even though I dislike gadget plays, I was kind of hoping for a fake....

The feeling is well shared by many.
