Offside Number 76

Perfect comparison.

No. Luck, Mallett, or address another need in the first round and wait another year for Luck or Mallett.

At the VERY least, he's going to have to change his name. After that, well, there may be more work to do.

Did you watch the game today? That's the way it should be done? WIth a lot of luck and mistakes by the other team? I mean, I watched Jimbo and Bruce capitalize on mistakes and get lucky in certain games, but that's not "the way it should be done."

When I was a freshman at UB, all of the Yawkers were Mets and Islanders fans. When I graduated, they all were Yanks and Rangers fans. It's NYC. They say they're diehards of one team or another, but they aren't.

That's why the station asked the question: there are differing opinions. (I want the Bills to win.)

The bigger saving grace is that Cousineau was traded for the pick used to select Kelly. Williams--biggest of all time, IMO.

That's an informative thread.

I seem to remember a Bills DE that played in a 3-4 and got after quarterbacks pretty damned well.

Pete beat me to it

I had the opposite experience during the Flutie game. And all I was wearing was a Bills ballcap. (I mean, that's the only team-branded apparel I was wearing. I was fully clothed at all times.)

Probably not, but there are many holes to be filled, and if the right QB isn't available in 2011, it makes sense to wait until 2012. It's not like the team is a QB, or LB, or DE, or whatever, away from making the playoffs.

You've touched it with a needle. Look, for me, it's Luck, MAYBE Mallett, and if not, a serious lineman (don't care which side of the ball) or 'backer. If those qbs stay in school, hell, it's one more year of Fitz. Rebuilding is not going to be a one-year deal, anyway.

What I want to know is why there was no flag on the play. The Cheats get an offensive pass interference call on that play every time.

I get the premise; I voted the second choice; I do not think FItzpatrick will play this well all year.

No. But a very cool user name.

I don't want to get rid of helmets, but the rest of this identifies the root of the problem: when football became about hitting, rather than tackling, we started to see more injuries and poorer defense. I've seen enough receivers bounce off of a hockey check by the defender and gain ten more yards, when the defender simply could have wrapped up and stopped the play. And of course, classic tackling presents less of an injury risk.

That sounds awesome; you're a lucky man.

I'd love to hear Wawrow's opinion on this: how far can they go without losing access?

A guaranty that the team will be in Buffalo for 25 more years.

For the haters...Mendola has a show on 1230 AM most weeknights.

Good. He belongs in Stillwater.

I just find them entertaining. Even the stuff that pisses most people off, like a country draft, amuses me. Sports and humor are mindless stuff--perfect for the shower in the morning or the drive home after work.

It's not, but it is based on my own experience living in and visiting numerous cities, so maybe it's incorrect. Most cities that I have lived in and/or been to have a lot of nationwide programming on the sports station. When I was in Washington (for a long time), virtually everything on 980 AM was a syndicated show.

Alabama? I hope he ends up a Cowboy. Would be cool to see him follow his dad.
