Couldn't have said it better myself. I can't believe I actually read through this entire thread without bashing in my own skull.

Best of luck with that, we'll be pulling for her.

Speaking of Star Wars, anybody catch this story? Kinda interesting to watch.

From a doc's perspective, I always hesitate to ever think you're totally "cancer-free", but this is just about the best news I could hope to hear.

Glad to hear he's back.

I like the optimism. If we beat Chicago, the media will all be about how the Bears are overrated. If we beat Miami, we'll be thought of as the second-best team in the division. If we beat San Diego, we'll be thought of as a legitimate wild card contender. If we beat New England...then they'll be on the bandwagon. It just takes wins.

Outstanding, young man.

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Filed to ESPN: Broncos WR Wes Welker has been suspended four games for use of amphetamines, per sources. Albert Breer @AlbertBreer Per sources, Wes Welker has been suspended for four games for violating the NFL's PED policy. It was for amphetamines.

I like what you did there.

Uh, if you click on the link, you can find the Buffalo article in the list on the left side.

Jay Skurski @JaySkurski · 47m Alonso will rehab here in Buffalo. He said he's on schedule in that regard, and would not rule out a return at some point this season.

This is the #2 "Why Your Team Sucks" article I look forward to each year. Not as good this time as past years, but still pretty darn good.

Boy, no kidding. On the other hand, it seems everywhere Orton has gone the starting job eventually went to a franchise-caliber QB. Maybe that's the spark we need.

I say that because we are now in a position to "hope" for someone as thoroughly below average as Orton to come in a week before the season starts to learn the playbook and be our dependable #2 QB.

This is how low we've sunk.

I was referring to Holley...

He'll be cut and placed on the practice squad. Seems like the Bills are keeping their PS players on the roster until tomorrow.

I was going by the OP's "last 5 years" rule.

Oh, is that what I did?

Too bad Al Davis isn't still around running the show for the Raiders. I bet he'd jump at a chance to trade Schaub for a speedster like TJ.

You could probably argue that the Bills haven't done an outstanding job with the Guard and Tight End positions, but all in all the organization has done a decent job putting together a fairly talented team across the board, aside from the one position that means far more than any other position. The most important position of them all. And here we are, one week away from the start of the season, and we have a barely legitimate starting QB and no legitimate backup QB on the roster. Even if we do pick up someone else's trash and have someone slightly more legitimate as our #2, he still has no exposure to our offensive system, and it will be weeks before he could be realistically thrown into a game with any expectation of effectiveness. It was the same story last year, and it ended up biting us in the butt, to a certain extent. And here we are again. It's hard to find a good QB in the NFL, sure. But this could only be called a pure bungling of the most important position on the field, despite a reasonably decent job with the remainder of the roster. That just about sums it up for the Buffalo Bills.

2010. Skip !@#$ing Torell Troup and pick Gronk.

it's own topic? Really?

He's still behind Bryant and Charles, so probably not enough spots to keep him.

Don't forget, still more cuts to make by tomorrow. 8 more, I believe.
