  1. We need a LB to replace Moats at least as much as a G, so I don't expect two OL in the first two picks next year, unless we score someone in FA.
  2. Happy birthday!
  3. More cowbell? /runs away
  4. The touchdown bombs are awesome of course, but I thought it was at least as impressive that he was good at getting open and making catches for first downs in that Jets game -- without any other established WRs out there on the field with him.
  5. Obviously it depends on the circumstances, but typically the highs are in the 20s or 30s and the lows in the 10-20 range. But there's always the chance we could get hit with an inversion, where the temps in the valley can get stuck in the 10-20 range for weeks.
  6. I got one of those Bills lanyards after going to the big tailgate in San Diego a couple years back. Now I wear it every day with my work badges. I'm pretty amazed at how many comments that thing generates, even out here in Utah. Despite all the **** I get, I'll wear that thing until it falls apart.
  7. I have a sinking suspicion that the refs are piling up the bad calls on NE* for one big orgasmic payback of makeup calls in Week 17 with the Bills post-season on the line.
  8. Shhh...he is sensitive about his premature vacillation problem.
  9. A few weeks later than I had thought, but still a relief to know he can't go in there again. Nevertheless, he was a Bill and deserves some respect for that.
  10. Not sure, I watched it live last night.
  11. I should probably apologize to Bill Belichick for enjoying his post-game presser so much.
  12. This is fun, but the cynic in me is fully expecting a beat down by Atlanta, followed immediately by threads calling for someone to be fired and EJ to be benched.
  13. Interesting how they are all defensive players....
  14. I ended up going to Grand Central, and it was a blast. It filled up pretty good, probably around 30 people all decked out in Bills gear. Lots of hootin', hollerin', and high fivin' all around, and the Shout song after every score. Very fun. The wings only get a 6 out of 10, though. I'd probably try The Laughing Man next time just to compare, but I'd go back there.
  15. Heavy blitz. EJ was just getting it out to avoid the hit, and likely didn't get much under it. In addition to the wind, of course.
  16. Yep, an impact LB to replace Moats is all this defense really needs, assuming we retain everybody. Another CB to account for injury would be nice. On offense, a G and TE and we should be good to go.
  17. Do not be deceived into thinking the Jax and Tampa games will in any way be easy. Those two have been stepping it up lately, and any game on the road is a challenge for this team. That said, those are the kind of games the Bills *have* to win if they want to have anyone take them seriously as a playoff team. Will they take the next step...?
  18. All I know is that we're going into December and we're not mathematically eliminated yet. That's progress, right?
  19. The Third Pick From The NFL Draft Is Barely Playing, And It's A Disaster For Miami's GM No idea what this is doing in the Finance section of Yahoo, but whatever. Interesting, considering the impact his former teammate is having in the same division...
  20. Whoa, you're right. Looks like Grand Central would be a walk, Laughing Man a short Metro ride. Nice that there are two good options, not sure which to choose. Obelisk looks good, not sure I can get in at this time, but I'll give it a shot. Thanks!
  21. Looks like The Laughing Man it is, thanks everybody. I'll be staying fairly close to Dupont Circle, so it should be easy to get to by Metro. If anyone's around, stop by!
  22. Going to be in D.C. this weekend and looking for the local Bills bar to watch the game. The Bills website lists "The Laughing Man Tavern" as the location of the Bills Backers Club, but I just wanted to double check. I was in D.C. a couple years ago and I remember watching a Bills-Pats* game surrounded by dozens of Bills fans in a packed bar, but I'm pretty sure it was a different place. Anyone?
  23. Wow, really? I didn't realize he was a Mormon. I've lived in Utah for 16 years and I don't think I ever heard his name mentioned.
  24. We put some on our roof two years ago, mostly because of all of the tax rebates and credits available at the time. We ended up paying about 1/3 of the actual cost because of it. I haven't done the calculations in a while, but I believe they produce about 50%-60% of our electricity use. I haven't tried calculating the cost savings or how long it would take to make up the cost. We did it largely for philosophical reasons, as well as living in one of the sunniest places in the country. I'm glad we did it.
  25. Hmm, last I read we threw more than 50% of the time on first down in that game. But yeah, it did seem like either Hackett kept the handcuffs on EJ all day, or EJ just didn't have the confidence to open it up. Not sure which. And finally, can we just get rid of the !@#$ing fade pass from the one yard line? We don't have the receivers to do that.
