Rubes

Please stop this nonsense about Drew Brees coming in as a free agent. Brees will demand huge money based on his season performance, and we already have a high-priced #1 pick on our team waiting to get in the game. Why spend huge bucks on a guy who will, sooner or later, be the backup? Why would Brees even want to come here, knowing JP is going to take over at some point? Drew Bledsoe would be a nice insurance policy at backup if JP wins the starting spot. I don't know if Bledsoe would ever accept being a backup in his mind, but my gut tells me he won't. If that's the case, he and Travis Henry can pack up and head to some other desperate team willing to pay them to be starters. If there are any, that is.

They can B word all they want, that was a clear elbow to the head and one of the dumbest things I've seen in a while...

We may still be battling for a wild card spot until we prove we can handle New England. I think we'll make that stride next year, but it will always be the "I'll believe it when I see it" kind of thing.

You also left out the key "20-29 yards" stat.

True, although Feely, Reed and Tynes aren't much better. Who's this Todd Peterson dude? Don't know much about him.

True, but it also sounds like a lot of people are unsure of starting next season with a raw quarterback, as it may set us back a la Carson Palmer. Granted, Cincy is probably better off in the long run, but in this league, it's what have you done for me lately...

Sure seems to be heading that way. Just a thought. Carry on.

Crap, if I get DirecTV I don't need one of those as well, do I? What's the installation charge?

You mean this time, and all the times with DirecTV of course...!

Crap. Can I believe you without double checking all of your facts? Please?

Say what you want about the wins against losing teams, but if you're going to start becoming one of the top teams, you have to start somewhere. Beating the teams you're supposed to beat is a good step in that direction. Now we just have to pull it together and start beating the ones that are better than us.

Nobody would, of course, but I think it does say something about TD's comments. Let's face it, Spikes' position as a starter at OLB is unquestioned. No way would TD say "every position is open to competition" with regard to Spikes, should he ever be asked. But he did say that about Bledsoe, which I think does say something...

Good question, I always liked the guy.

Somehow, though, I just can't imagine that, in response to a question about Takeo Spikes' play this year, TD would say "well, you know, he did pretty well but all positions are open to competition next year..."

Yeah, kinda like Lawrence Welk....

If he's smart enough not to listen to advice from a Bills message board why isn't he smart enough not to ask in the first place? Who's Kitna?

That's what you still have after taking that cupful of Nyquil and chasing it with some Jim Beam...

Good grief, please tell me you're not serious

I was at a Bears game recently, and they do it all the time. I thought it was pathetic the first time I heard it years ago, but they're still doing it. And they do it LOUD too, you know exactly where it's coming from.

Keep an eye on the BYU kicker. Matt Payne, 6-4, 234 lbs. He's a big guy and likes to get in on the tackle. I saw him kick a 53 yarder this year. Then again, I looked over his stats for this past year, and he was only 15 of 22 on FGs. However, he did make 4 of 5 from 50 yards or more. He also had 21 touchbacks on kickoffs. Plus, he was the punter as well and averaged over 45 yards on his punts.

I think Utah could have done at least as well as OU...

Forgotten those Super Bowls already, have we?

Whoops, looks like I left out the [obvious sarcasm] tags again.

The saddest part of this is that if there was at least a playoff system, Utah would probably crush both of these teams.

Oh God no. I hate them all. The Jets, Dolphins, and especially Pats can all crash and burn and I'd be the happiest guy around.
