I'm not going to praise Vick's overall performance this year...but what isn't in those numbers is who has come up big at the end of games to win the game for his team? Vick has played some stinkers this year only to put on a show in the 4th quarter and get it done, which is a big reason why his team is 4-1. Bledsoe hasn't played poorly this year, but I want a guy that can lead his team to a game winning FG when there are only 55 seconds on the clock.

This is only kinda-true. They do have the feedback system and it is somewhat effective, but don't go thinking its a "failsafe". Lots of people don't give negative feedback because if they do, then that person turns around and gives them negative feedback as "payback". So someone who has a perfect score might very well have a few bad deals that just don't show up.

By "coming around" do you mean yet another 13-14 point offensive performance? Because that's all the offense has done this year.

I said to a friend after the Yanks jumped out to a 3-0 series lead that the Sox, in an effort to totaly anihilate their fans, will probably win the next three games, give their fans hope upon hope, only to crush them by losing game 7 (in some dramatic fashion most likely). It's looking more and more like this will come to pass.

Sounds like someone ran their mouth all season long and now that they're getting ripped into for it and they can't stand the heat. People warned you not to get too excited about the regular season, but no, you ran your mouth anyway. You get what you deserve when people rip you for doing so. The "better" team isn't the team that wins the most games in the regular season, it's the team that hits their stride late and plays great in the playoffs. They don't hand the WS trophy to the team w/ the best regular season record…

I'm in the WoW beta and it is simply fantastic. I played EQ for 3 years and it doesn't compare with WoW...and from what I've heard from several friends in EQ2's beta, it doesn't compare w/ WoW either.

I wouldn't have minded seeing a pooch punt by Lindell in that situation. Line up like it's a FG attempt and just pooch it 15 yards down field...there was no way in hell that FG was going to be made, even with a good kicker.

I've thought all along that Henry should be starting for this team. Not after today. I don't care about Willis' 100 yard day...what impressed me the most is that when a play looked like it was caught for a loss or no yards the guy squirts through or drives through and picks up positive yards. Henry was not doing this. This penchant for picking up positive yards puts us in 3rd and manageable conditions and not 3rd and long, which is what we faced too many times in the first 4 games.

The thing that concerns me the most about Bledsoe are his mechanics. Even when he has lots of time to throw he'll frequently just sling the ball out with just his arm instead of actually stepping up into the throw. This causes him to be less accurate than he would with the proper foot work. We saw it again time and time again today. Unfortunately it appears that all the work with Wyche isn't paying off in terms of his mechanics, so we'll continue to see inaccurate throws from him.

Choosing the wind would have been a mistake Imo. The Bills played badly in the first half and they needed to come out and establish some sort of rhythm in the 2nd half. They needed to come out in the 3rd quarter and dominate...and its much easier to do so with the wind. Confidence and game flow are much more important than wind.

It's called compassion for other living beings, even those who make mistakes and inflict suffering upon themselves.

Exactly, Tucker took his legs out with his shoulders...it wasn't even close to being a leg whip. I can totally understand if a ref doesn't see something and misses a call. I'll never understand how they call things that they "think" they've seen. If you're not sure you saw it, don't call it!

Mularkey made a mistake, plain and simple (or do you think he is infallible?) Wasting 25 seconds of clock time to save a TO is ridiculous. Nicely done with “the coach knows more than you” argument. Another classic. You’re pulling out all the message board clichés tonight!

You can't do 3rd grade math and you have the nerve to call somebody else an idiot?

Well, it depends if you're comparing him to the Gibbs coaching today or the Gibbs coaching a decade ago.

Taking the discussion way off topic is a classic "I got owned and have to divert attention" move. You've played the move nicely, congrats (or should I type out "congratulations" for fear of reprimand?)

I'm not going to argue that the Giants haven't looked far superior to the Bills, they have. However, making an assessment of coaching hires after 5 weeks probably isn't the wisest thing to do. The Giants could tank this season and the Bills could slowly improve. The Giants could get off to a 0-5 start next season and the Bill could get off to a 4-1 start....who would you say was the better coaching hire at that point? Let's see how this plays out for Mularky before we call him a lame duck coach. I know it's been stated before, but Gibbs lost his first 5 games as a head coach and he turned out okay.

It makes more sense than your clock management skills.

I'm sorry logical thinking isn't your thing.

Let me explain this really slowly for you. Say we take a TO after the sack and save the 25 seconds that burned off the clock. Then let's say that, with 8 seconds left Drew hits Moulds over the middle of the field and we have no time outs to stop the clock...tick, tick, tick...we lose. Now, Let's do some math. If we saved 25 seconds by calling a TO after the sack...and there were only 8 seconds on the clock when Moulds caught the ball would that play have even HAPPENED if the TO hadn't been taken after the sack? (hint: this isn't a trick question, or a particularly hard one). The only way your arguement makes sense is if there are more than 25 seconds left on the clock after Moulds makes that catch and for some insane reason we can't get downfield to spike the ball in that time. You have the weigh the difference...does it take more time for the offense to get down field to spike the ball at the end of the game (when they all know before the snap that they have to do so) or does it take them longer to get back to the LOS after a sack (when nobody realizes for a few seconds what happened and the WRs are all downfield), get a play called, and snap the ball?

You don't call allowing the Jets to march right down field and kick the game winning FG "folding"? What's your definition then?

Can you name any NFL starter who doesn't look good when they have time? Every single one of them can find a WR and hit him with no pressure...Randy Cross said this a few times on the broadcast and I consider it an insult, not a compliment. A compliment is, "that guy makes plays even when everything breaks down".

Dallas wouldn't give us back our own but they might part with their own 1st round pick! Why give up a top 5 pick for Henry?

You have to be the most optimistic person I've ever come across in my lifetime. I wish I was that optimistic

Is that a cliff he's riding off into the sunset?
