Withdrawal sucks.....

Cincy, please don't go there. My God, that sounded an awful lot like some rightest trash. Our health care system compared to most, by any honest measurement, is a wreck. AARP and the World Health Organization (yea I know, both are leftists, right?) have shown numerous flaws in our "system" or should we just call it what it is. "rape, pillage, and plunder" medicine. The cost of health care in America per person is already more than double that of Canada, Germany, Great Britain and Japan. We have an even greater disparity in what drugs cost in the USA. Longevity, nope, were last in this group. Infant mortality, nope, last again. And the biggest lie of all (the naysayers claim other's wait times are longer or that they ration their medicine), seeing our doctors the same day we call for an appointment is again, behind that of GB and yes, Canada. Do I believe Obama's plan was the answer? No, but more because of what it didn't attempt to correct (drug companies were appeased so that they would stay on the sidelines during the debates when Obama dropped his campaign pledge to make obtaining affordable drugs legally from Canada). This year alone, the premiums for my employer sponsored health care plan increased by 13%. My share of the cost of this doubled. I also now have a immediate 500.00 deductible for each member of my family (6). The deductible must be met before the insurance pays a single dime. All this in a year that due to the housing collapse and energy prices declining slightly, was actually a deflationary year (.3% from AARP's figures). Where is the justice here? When will we realize that real reform IS necessary? When an illness bankrupts you and you lose your home? Yet, there are those who line up against Government plans, sighting rationing, or denied care....Jeezy Pete, and the insurance companies haven't done this too? Limit your choices of Doctors? Again, the insurance companies play the in-network, out of network game don't they. They also have had Primary care physicians, of which we had to pick form THEIR lists. My God, what will it take? When Health care reform debates were at their peak in the Senate and House, hundreds of millions of dollars were spent by insurance companies and their lobbyists to propagate lies meant to ward off reform. Yet if the money exixts for this, where are the rate reductions for the insured? Or where are the benefit improvements? Not coming, and never will again, unless they are made to toe the line and finally place the patient first. Yeah, health care here is is great. Your right.......... as long as your a Senator or Congressman (they pay NOTHING and are covered 100%, yet they cry broke if one seeks to improve the blight of the average citizen, but don't touch their health care, or their automatic pay raises (which also are of a percentage higher than ours as well). Yes Sir, everything's just peachy.....

Rice, slam dunk, but Carter? Reed had great hands as well, and could run circles around Chris Carter. Now this isn't to take anything away from Carter, but Reed could and did many times take a 10 yard slant to the house or for huge gains. Reed is one of the all-time great run after the catch guys, in the same league as Rice and actually was stronger that Rice. Now that he's gone, and after 10 years (or thereabouts) of watching others try to fill his shoes, his accomplishments stand out greater than ever. In his prime, it got so we took him for granted, and since, he's been sorely missed. I still recall watching him haul in a deep pass in the preseason of his rookie year, and thought, "damn, he's going be a good one." The last time I thought the same thing was in Thurman's rookie preseason..... Both stood out, immediately.

Ah, a daughter, one to care for and cherish and as the years roll by..........to worry endlessly about. Love her, care for her, make her special....... CONGRATS !!!!

Something tells me that "jerk" simply isn't enough to describe what OJ became.

Humm.... You clearly miss the whole point. "Fan" should make it very clear. One cheers for and supports what they have, not that they don't want better. Last I checked, none of those on this board are in a position to have any input on who is on the roster.........

Ah, aren't you funny..... Joe Cribb's? Similar to TT in an umber of ways, but the numbers speak for themselves. TT wins the Cribbs?TT contest hands down. Cookie, an amazingly talented 250 plus RB, unfortunately spent the prime of his playing days in the CFL. OJ was our best pure runner, one of best in the history of the game, but was no where near the complete back TT was. OJ and his hands of stone wasn't very adept at catching the ball, and while OJ was rarely called on to pass block, TT was outstanding at picking up blitzes. TT, in the entirety of his career and talents, clearly ranks as our best all round RB in the history of the Bills. With that said, He ranks very highly in the greatest Bill of all-time sweepstakes, but I'm not sure he would be number 1. Jim Kelly, Bruce Smith, Billy Shaw, Tom Sestak, etc., might disagree.

Ah come on. I live outside Louisville KY now, and still wear my Bills jackets and jersey all the time. I get some ribbing, but the more i get from those I know, the more I wear by Bills garb.... Ordered two pairs at that price.... (Thanks...)

Memory seems to prod the name of Daryl Porter, as the one who left his lane...

Get well SOON Beerball!!!!! Our prayers are with you and your family.

Adam, you often come up with the weirdest stuff.....

What the "heck" does his hair have to do with anything? Jeez...... You prefer skin heads? So what.....

Seems a bit as if you're giving Edwards a pass, yet with Lindell, who has been very successful, you give him the boot? Logic?

Heck, it could prove to be a great hire. It's not as if Gailey hasn't tasted success, something we haven't had much of the past 15 years....

.....you must have more than Edwards arm, maybe a bit of his knock on the old noogan as well, if youseriously think Kyle Williams could be even "a little like Phil Hansen". Hansen was lightning quick compared to Williams, very strong without the girth, and a superior pass rusher. Phil was an unsung star back in the day. Tough on the run, and able to put some heat on the QB, and he did it in an unfavorable 3-4 (for a pass rushing DE that is). However, you're spot on in stating we'd need a NT as there isn't one on the roster today. Also, I would agree at this stage that maybe Maybin's future lies in being a rushing OLB in a 3-4 scheme.

..............and neither do we (or the Bills) care about losing you.

A bit overly simplistic don't you think?

Schobel is a quality player and here's to hoping that the coming changes (GM, and HC, etc) will re-kindle his desire to play. That, and the commitment to field a complete team, unlike the O-Line and LB disaster Jauron gave us this year.

True, to a degree. With our LB's on IR, our offensive line in termoil and decimated by injuries, we too kinda fielded a YFL team out there as well. All said, it was good NOT to see the perversity "run for the bus" performance and congrats to Fred Jackson, clearly the Bills MVP this year.

This is easy.......absolutely NOT!!!!

The Christian stuff? I'm no devote parishioner, but did you ever here of Roger Staubach? Being a Christian, does not mean one can't be talented, a leader, and a great player as well. Wow.....

Bipolar....

While Butler seemed like a quality gut for the most part, his resume from his Buffalo years would be short and read something like this: John Butler - Road on Bill Polian coattails, who built a woeful early Mid 80's Bills franchise into a team that went to 4 straight Super Bowls. Over saw the yearly deterioration of the team after Bill Polian was fired.

ICE, not again.......jeez.
