:I starred in Brokeback Mountain:

I'd rather see us line up in with 1RB and 3WR as our base offense to get Shelton off the field. It would force Ds to use the Nickle against us which I'd prefer to see Henry running agsint and if Josh Reed isn't going to be the starter in the 2WR set anymore his blocking would be an asset against the nickel...I mean, would you rather have Shelton with the responsiblity of taking on a LB or Reed on the 3rd CB? I realize this is what "finese" teams do and we want to be a "pound 'em" offense...but Shelton sucks, plain and simple...and our TEs aren't any better for those who'd prefer a 2TE set as our base.

But this can't be true...because Mike Williams sucks! Name the one starting O-lineman who hasn't been flagged for a penalty yet this year... As for Tucker, what I'm most concerned about is the blocking calls...our line has had enough probs this year with the blitz without the QB of the line going down.

The problem is these aren't the mistakes that are costing us games. Dropped balls, missed blitz pickups and idiotic penalties are. Normally I'd give you the missed blitz pickups as a "growing pain" (but not the other two) but this is the exact same problem we've had the last two years, at some point it's got to be the players themselves and not the scheme.

The sporting world hasn't been kind to me for 10 years: 1. Bills 2. Phillies 3. UCLA football 4. UCLA basketball

But if you flip the coin enough times it will eventually land on tails!

Just curious, how many "damn good teams" start out 0-3? Call people "whiners" all you want but I don't care how well a team knocks other guys off the ball, hit holes hard in the running game or has plenty of speed to beat the opposing team beat...none of this matters if they continually make costly mistakes at important parts of the game. GOOD teams don't do this, period. Also, you say you watched the 1st and 2nd quarters...I'm wondering how you could watch those quarters and come away with this D being "very very good"? Was it the 200+ yards passing that Brady put up against us in the first half? The constant blitzing we did with no results? What did you see that makes you say this?

And if it was just that game I don't think people would be in the state of panic they are right now...but you add to it the Oakland and Jax games and it's not looking good? The Bills were playing the SB champs last week...what was their excuse for the other two games in which they made numerous bone-headed mistakes? Bottom line, this week's game against the Jets is the season. We win this one and beat the fins at home and that puts us at 2-3 and 2-1 in the division. Lose this game and the season is pretty much over in terms of any chance of making the playoffs...0-4 in the AFC and 0-2 in the division means pretty much 0% chance of the playoffs.

Not only does he need 5K...he's charging $25 to ship a ring!

NS, had Texas been bright enough to keep Applewhite as the starter they might not have choked every year in big games...

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't think the playcall itself was that bad. Nobody in the entire state was expecting it, had they actually executed the play correctly (yeah yeah, I know) I'm guessing it probably would have worked. I recall seeing KC run a naked bootleg on 4th and 1 about 10 years ago with Dave Kreig (who wasn't exactly Vick either) and they burned the D for a 70 yard TD because nobody was looking for it. I don't think you can blame a play call unless the players actually run it semi-correctly and it fails. The only thing I would question about the call is who it was called against...the Pats...they'er not really for overpursuing and ususally play pretty disciplined.

I wonder what happens during practice when the ultra-movable object goes against the easily-stoppable force?

We're only averaging one penalty a game more than the Giants...they're averaging 7.25 and we're averaging 8.33...both those numbers suck, so let's not compliment the "disciplinarian" in NYC when his team is committing some idiotic penalties as well. If you want to compliment someone, try Norm Edwards...the Jets have been penalized 9 times all season...3 times a game.

I hope he also showed them Joe Burns, on the sideline after his penalty, laughing about it. This sent me off the deep end at home.

That wasn't a "pick play"...had McGee been ANYWHERE near his man he would have easily ran underneath the other CB and WR...unfortunately he was beaten so badly and was much too deep that he could only go around them. McGee was picked on quite a bit yesterday, apparently people missed this and only saw his kick return TD and his almost INT...

So why is your biggest fear replacing Bledsoe if you think we'd only end up with the same results with Mathews? If it makes no difference why fear it? Hell, if Mathews can put up the same results, we should just get rid of Bledsoe and his contract right now. I have absolutely no faith that Mathews is an NFL calibur QB...which is why I'm not screaming for Bledsoe to be benched...that being said I'm not sure that the Bills offense couldn't put up 10 points a game with him starting at QB.

The negativity of Bills fans isn't going to make the players play any better or worse this weekend in NYC than if everybody was holding hands singing Koombya. What they players need to do is not worry about what the fans are saying and concentrate on getting better...because that's the only way rational fans will get off their backs. You can sit in the corner thinking good thoughts and believe that you can will this team to victory with sweet dreams, but it ain't gunna happen that way. I root for the Bills as hard as anybody, no matter how many times they rip my heart out. So don't sit there and tell me I'm not as good of a fan as others who wish to delude themselves into thinking everything is AOK.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!! I didn't need to read the rest of your post, this right here had me laughing out loud for the first time today. Hell, I'm still laughing, HAHAHAHAHA. And the Jets undeated record next week will have been earned against four really poor teams...

That's a french film (although with an English leading lady, Charlotte Rampling...the filmaker, Francois Ozon is French. And to be honest, with the exception of Ludivine Sagnier's breasts (just spectacular!) the film sucked...check out Ozon's infinately better Eight Women or Under the Sand.

Hell, Jay Fielder had a 35-18 record with the Dolphins (the third highest winninger percentage of active QBs with more than 25 starts) after their week 1 loss this year and the Phins benched him because they felt they needed a spark. We can't sit a guy has won 9 games in his last 27 starts...mostly because we have no viable backup. Too bad we didn't sign Volek in the offseason...

All out blitz baby! Johan Santana Who the hell is Martina McBride? Umm, I'll guess the video where she's-half naked! Silence...let's forget intros and get to the game! Robert Gallery

I'd rather see fines for the idiotice penalties we see every week. The showboating is annoying, but at least these players have emotion...what they need to do is learn to keep that emtion in check and stop breaking the f'in rules of the game like they didn't know they exist!

No, idiotically enough I'm still crazy mad come breakdown time. It'd do my temper some good if I could move on to the numb stage of the Bills 12 step program.

Infernal Affairs - saw it Saturday, not the best Hong Kong cop film I've ever seen (I'll give that nod to John Woos "Hard Boiled") and it's not as action packed as some, but the style and grace which the story is told was almost breathtaking. Check it out if you have a chance.

What!?! We may have blitzed but that doesn't mean McGee shouldn't be in the same zip code as the WR who caught the TD. He wasn't within 10 yards of him. Oh, I get it, whenever there's a "golden boy", a player people like, it's somehow always somebody else's fault when they don't produce. Whatever. Sure, the blitzing D that didn't get pressure hurts the D backs...but it doesn't excuse them from doing their jobs. McGee started backpeddling when the WR was cutting across the field on a slant...he recognized the route way too late and because he was so deep he ended up getting caught behind another D back and another Pat WR...but it most certainly was McGees fault he wasn't in the same time zone as the WR...uh huh
