Also, Gailey would not have any game tapes from 2008, so it would be easy for him to make this mistake that 2009 was his rookie year.

Bad idea. There already are too many injuries in a 16-game season.

I also got it last season. The picture quality was fine, I thought, on my Mac. But I didn't use it as much as I thought I would, since I generally knew the outcome of the games before they were available or I could get around to watching.

Can I hate both the Patriots and the Fins? With a sufficient amount left over to have contempt for the Jets?

+1 Count me on the bandwagon with the Biscuit. As I just posted in another thread: If the players and coaches had the attitude of these fans, they would never improve. The Pats are aging and have not drafted well for years--they are on the brink of a collapse. The Jets are a bad chemistry set in the hands of an over-enthusiastic screaming adolescent. The Fins are quarterbacked by nobody and just acquired the most poisonous locker room receiver in the game. The Bills will do no worse than 3-3 in the division this year, and finish above .500. Don't tell me to put down the crack pipe. It's better than sticking my head in the oven with the rest of you.

I didn't post this in order to increase your suicidal mood. Get a grip! Kiss your dog. Make love to your wife or girlfriend (don't let your wife find out). Take a deep breath, go for a walk, and enjoy the weather, which has got to be better than the 103 degree heat index here in Raleigh.

That's right. Thanks. I think the Bills are not as bad as we often feel, but they've been pretty damn bad.

Count on Kelly the Totally Balanced and Sane Dog to bark sense.

Pretty bad. Before the Brady-Belichick years, I kind of had a soft spot in my heart for them. Except I hated Parcells, and I hated the "Just give it to them" game, and I didn't care for Bledsoe, and . . . forget what I just said.

I just thought I'd look this up to see whether the Bills really were the worst team over the last ten years. Bills 66 wins Cards 62 wins Raiders 62 wins Browns 57 wins Texans 49 wins* Lions 42 wins * the Texans have only played 8 seasons, vs. the other teams' 10. If you average them over ten seasons, they would have won 61 games, still worse than the Bills. Of these teams, only the Lions and Bills have failed to make the playoffs throughout this period, and the Card and Raiders have each been in the Super Bowl once during the decade.

The one who has played the least. Nobody hates Levi Brown yet. Actually, given the nature of the board, I bet there are some who do hate him already.

+1. I think this is the most accurate assessment of Lynch's character I have seen on this board.

I think he's got the Bills about right. I do think that there's a strong likelihood the Colts will take a big fall. They won too many games last year by coming from behind, and were too pass-oriented. They are not young. They depend too much on Manning. I agree the Pats are getting old, and they have not drafted well despite the many high picks they have had. I expect some surprise teams to do well (I hope one of them is Buffalo, but everything has to fall right for that to happen), and major declines from Indianapolis, Minnesota, San Diego, New Orleans among others.

Keep Lynch. The Bills are quite likely to need him, and they will not get value in a trade. The people who are eager to dump him are reacting emotionally, not rationally.

PS: I don't mean to harp on such things. We all make mistakes. But this is a simple one to correct. I agree with the content of your original post.

There is no apostrophe in Bills. Ever.

Is it just me, or does it seem like the Bills are signing their draft picks much sooner this year than in the previous four or five years? I don't remember them getting so many in the fold so fast since the days of John Butler. Of course, they have yet to sign the first four picks, so there's plenty of room for a holdout.

I'm glad they are picked for last. They won't finish there, and I'll get pleasure out of seeing them surprise people.

"corps" not "core"!!!!!!!! JMJ pray for us.

Why? When 2/3 to 3/4 of these top ten picks are busts?

Mort is right. The Bills are going to go from being a team that breaks its fans' hearts to one that, more often, breaks the hearts of other teams' fans. No fan of another team will go into a Bills game expecting his team to lose, and yet the Bills are going to beat some teams that by the Conventional Wisdom they "should not" beat. It won't be a complete or sudden turnaround. But I expect them to win some surprising games.

Jerry H Christmas, can you guys just GIVE IT A REST?

The Jets are going to disappoint sorely. 8-8. They may start fast, but it looks to me like a bad chemistry experiment. I have no good idea about the rest of the division. Barring injuries, I think the Bills will win more than last year.

I hope you are still able to play music. I wanted to be a writer, and I was lucky enough to find a way to make a living as a teacher and still be able to write. I see lots of Asian kids as high achievers, but I do hope they can end up doing something they enjoy.

I hope he succeeds, but I have to say I'm a little sorry for this kid. The pressure his parents have put on him is enormous. What if he wanted to be a mechanic or a banker or musician or a scientist or a writer? Did he ever get the chance to consider a different life?
