Well, well, well, I guess we do have some Bills Naysayers in this newsgroup. 
I understand your anger, it must be awful watching the Bills going to the super
bowl two years in a row for you (you don't seem to be a Bills Fan).
As for Andre Reed and Jerry Rice, I have no argument as to who has been better
in the past but I was referring to now (the times are changing).
BTW, Jerry Rice has played in Walsh's pass oriented system all of his career.
Reed, on the other hand has sufferred thru the eighties of run up the middle,
run to the left, ....
I'm sure if Reed had been drafted by the 49ers and Rice by the Bills, you would
see some different numbers between the two.  Obviously you have not watched
the two as players (there is more to a receiver than just his stats--i.e.  Reed
is an excellent blocking receiver).
You also seem to be very spiteful of Carwell Gardner.  Give the guy a chance?
How can you expect him to rack up stats that will satisfy you if he doens't
even get a chance to play (the team is that good).  Again, you shouldn't run
your mouth about him if you haven't seen him play.  I SAY HE HAS POTENTIAL!

As to your point about "lighting up the scoreboard," no this is not every team;sstrategy (are you watching the same football I am?)  Apparently you must have
forgotten about hmmmm...lets see , Chicago, New York, New Orleans, Denver, SD.....Notre Dame...
I don't quite think that getting a 7 point lead and sitting on it is "lighting
up the scoreboard"

You seem to be in the dark about Kelly's other two receivers (Beebe and Edwards)With the two guys injured, the Bills have been using Brad Lamb and special
teamer Steve Tasker.  #1 has not NFL experience and #2 has to lead the special
teams.  When Beebe and Edwards are on the field, you need two fast DB's to coverthem and using two DB's sounds like 1/2 (or 2/5) of a defense to me.  Lamb and
Tasker undeniably do not draw as much coverage as the aforementioned two.

Maybe you'be had too much to drink picking the Bills to go 9-7.  You shouldn't
drink and type.
Denial is common amongst anti-Bills fans.  "Oh there not thaaaaaat goood.  Oh no
they'll surely lose six consecutive games and then we can win the division..."
Yeah Right, cut the BS.
It appears to me you are in the denial stage right now.  I know of some places
where you can get some good help.
The only other potential loss is either at NO or Houston. (they'll probably win
both).

You should gets YOUR facts straight.  As of last week, the Bills had played
four games and Philadelphia played three. HMMMMMM.....lets see, now, if the Bills played one more game than Philly, maybe they should have allowed a few more
points.......what a concept!
Have you ever heard of a BYE week??

On your point about the Raiders D.  They're ranked fifth--BIG DEAL?  There offense was ranked #2 (behind the Bills of course) at 400 yards a game!!!
They aren't exactly the highest scoring team in the NFL (the Bills are heheheh).BTW, look what the Bills offense did against the last "superior" defense they
played against (SF).

Oh, and uh, next time you use some numbers, try watching a few games to qualify
them, huh?
