So, um, what's your point?

That would be a good answer as well. I wonder if he was sucking those toads from south america that make you trip out for a while. Maybe that was his problem! Rockpile - you're a genious!

Gameplan isn't installed until Wednesday. But I'm sure they'd find his knowledge of plays interesting.

I hope the answer wasn't that they wanted to go in a "different direction." That's a stock BS answer. It tells us nothing, and at this point with this team we deserve to know a bit more about it. I'd expect him to say something like this: "Bobby is a great guy and a good player. We just felt that his downfield blocking wasn't what we needed in our current scheme. Additionally, we didn't feel that he had a good grasp of the playbook at this point in the season, which caused him to make some mistakes. We're sorry things didn't work out with him, and we're sure he'll find a productive role on another team." Did he say something like that, or was it the same BS "Different direction" thing?

I have to agree here. Not stupid to get rid of him, but stupid to get rid of him without getting anything in return. Of course, we probably don't know the whole story. Unless he did something bad (like missing meetings, screwing Donahoe's daughter, etc), I don't understand the reasoning behind it. Maybe we'll find out more from someone's inside sources.

Absolutely. I hope it's a trade. Even if it's for a kicker or draft pick or something. Hell, even a few cheerleaders would be nice, not that there's anything wrong with our current ones. I'm confused by Shaw. He's made some clutch plays over the past two years, but has done some dumb stuff like run the wrong route or get hit in the back with the ball when he should be catching it. I guess I don't know enough about the pass routes to know if he's doing the right thing. He has good hands and decent speed, so maybe that's what has kept him on the team.

Amen and haleluia!

Westside! Man, where the hell have you been? Garbage Plates are calling you, my friend.

You should wash it, then air dry it at Nick Tahous for 48 hours. It will be all better.

We all know Fletcher made a few dumb penalties a few weeks ago. He had a bad game. Many people here said he should be benched. The key thing here is what Fletcher did about it. Fletcher came out and had a monster of a game against the Jets. He was all over the place, even running down Moss from behind. This is an example others need to look at. In particular: 1. Jonas Jennings 2. Pierson Prelaou These guys played very poorly. They need to pull a Fletcher an play out of their heads on Sunday.

Not that I know of, but it looks like I have two buttholes now.

Yeah, right. He'll fire him in the middle of this season. Right. Not gonna happen. Ralph may be pissed, but he isn't a reactionary moron.

I think the 2000 draft was clearly the worst. Clearly. However, MW is starting to play well. Other than that, 2002 ain't looking too good, either. Looking back at drafts and saying "what if" is a useless exersize, anyway. Most teams can do that, even if they had a decent draft.

I told you.

You gotta spread the blame around. The offense has been very flat for most of the game. I doubt they can get us down in FG range.

I'm just being a realist.

I told you. Bills can't stop them on 3rd down. They suck.

The offense has been bad, and has been flat. It's too late now.

:I starred in Brokeback Mountain:

Strange. I happen to agree with him.

Shelton was brought in by Donahoe to whiff on blocks to get Drew killed. It's a conspiracy against the bills by Donahoe. He's sabotaging the team.

I knew I'd bring the whiners out! Look, keep whining. That's fine with me. It's your right to do that as fans. Clearly the outcome of games is unacceptable. I'm not an idiot. But what else is clear is that the things that this team does right are quite good. If you get a new coach and scheme, you're going to go through growing pains. I see more potential with this team than I did in any of the GW years, and it's only Mularkey's 3rd game. It's only the players 3rd game under the new offensive system. I hate to break it to you folks, but when you get a new scheme WRs have a tendency to run incorrect routes, RBs have a tendency to make mistakes, and QBs have a tendency to throw to the wrong spot. You all have been watching football long enough to understand this. I'm not saying that people here shouldn't be frustrated, I'm just calling it as I see it. There are plenty of positives to this team, if you care to look at them. Of course, people like to remember the things that suck rather than the things that are good. That's not a way to look at a team in a new system. It's like everyone's got a case of Jerry Sullivanitis.

So far I've watched the first and second quarters over. Mostly in slo-mo. I see many positives about this team, and I see some very good things happening. This is a damn good team. Observations: 1. The o-line played damn well for the most part against a good Pats D. Hear that everyone? THEY PLAYED WELL! 2. Travis hit the holes he had fast and hard and got good yards. 3. Drew threw the ball well for the most part. His best game since last year. 4. London' Fletcher's roughing call was complete BS. 5. Our defense is very, very good. 6. McGee is a phenominal athlete and offeres some big play capability that Vincent doesn't. 7. Wire is not the answer at safety. 8. Placalling is so much better than last year I can't understand why people complain about it. Lastly, if you whiners expected anything less than a little difficulty with a new coach and revamped scheme, then you might as well go root for another team. That's just not realistic.

We use credit but pay it off every month. My wife and I are flying to jamaica in November with all the airline miles we've earned. In addition, when I travel to LA for work, I'm able to upgrade to first class with miles I earn with the card. Totally worth it for long, busy trips and flights. We put everything on it, then pay it off. Of course, you need self-control and the ability to budget, but most adults should be able to do that. I also get paid for booking my work trips, but get reimbursed. More miles for free! For us, at least, using credit with benefits is great.
