If he was smart he'd float a rumor that the starting QB is Palko.

Unless of course the starting QB is Palko and what he said about Cassell is in fact a smoke screen.

HA! Good point. Although I don't really see that particular smoke screen playing out in our favor too much.

Maybe our smoke screen is in fact a larger smoke screen and we want Buffalo to think we're thinking about starting Palko by saying we're starting Cassel with cleary no intention of starting Cassel and playing Palko but really we will start Cassel. My head just exploded...

I hadn't read all replies prior to my comment, obviously we think alike, hahaha.

I think my head thinks it just exploded also, or at least is thinking about thinking it might explode!

What scares me is if something happened to Cassel, like a season ending injury, I'm not sure we win a game with Palko. He just isn't good.

OR...start a rumor the starter is as always, Cassel, then minutes before kickoff announce it will be Palko!

Actually, I was thinking that the true starter had to be announced a couple of days before game time. However, I could be wrong.

I think an injury report has to be released today (Wednesday for Sunday games), but Cassel could be listed as "probable," "questionable" or "doubtful" and still start/play.
