I'm kind of a glass half fumpty guy. Seriously though, I hail from a Pittsburgh Pa suburb, and I have had a enough of this sh%t. We are knockin on the door this year, next year will bulldoze it in. Go Bills!!!!!!!! Hey, I resemble that remark! Agree, right direction, but playoffs next year, while not a lock, pretty close to it.

Well you can cross that off your bucket list, cause if you watched the game last Sunday, you saw penalties putting points on the board.

Actually, it looked like he was supporting your position.

Not if the bad calls and poor performance support the NFL's agenda.

My bad, I thought that I had looked it up before, and prety sure those were the figures that I saw, I am shocked that they do not make more than 42-75k annually. I would never want to be one, away from family for all that time, and that have to submit to ridicule from people like me and you! Albeit mostly deserved riducle.

Um, try like ten times that amount, more like $450,000-$600,000 for 16 games.

Don't make me separate you two. But I did get a healty chuckle out of both.

I am not gonna say that this was the turning point, and I really haven't heard many talking about this, more about the pass interference dubious calls, but the bad spot by the linesman on the catch by, I think Roosevelt, was a real killer. That was at a very critical juncture in the game, when it looked like the Bills were going to make a real bid to get back in it. Now I was watching on TV, and the yellow line that appears on the screen signifying the first down, was about a half yard behind the next grid line, maybe the 20 or 25. So if the first down was the yellow line, and even if it was off by a half yard or so, there is no question that from the angle that I saw, at least the nose and possibly more of the football was over the next gridline stripe, and I am yelling "challenge, challenge", wasn't surprised at all that Gailey did, and I fully expexted no overrule, for obvious reasons, but when that MF'er "guns" Hoculi goes over to the hood and comes back in about 30 seconds and says the call stands, I was real close to tackling my big screen TV. As a matter of fact, I don't think it took them very long to overule the Wilson Interception either. At least make it look like you really looked at it it hard. Again, not saying that we would have won, and we should have been able to pick up the first down anyway, but I think we would have seen a huge momentum swing had Buffalo gotten six on that drive.

He did state that Burris, on his catch that set up their first score, "he got away with a pretty good push to the back of McGee". I like Phil, way easier to tolerate than most, and I agree with some of the other posters, he has no axe to grind wiith the Bills.

Our new "idiot kicker"

We know what is on your mind! Wrong website dude.

I realize that this is a little off theme, but Dick LeBeau is the spitting image of the scarecrow form the wizard of oz. Stuff some hay in the back of jacket and wa la! Sorry no picks, but pretty easy to visualize.

No, it's Haaaaarved!

I think that he IS dishonest, if you listen to his broadcasts, one week he tells us something like, that guy is the greatest such and such in the NFL, and the very next week he makes the same statement about another player, reminds me a lot of Dierdouche. They like to hear themselves talk.

I think that they are push-ups for men!

Yes, really. I am not saying they fix, but subtle manipulation,no doubt, and just who is going to expose, and then successfully battle them in a lawsuit. You saw what happened when Arlen Spectre (congress) wanted an ivestigation of spygate, he was shut down almost immediatley.You do remember that the NFL is a Monopoly, don't you? So there would have to be someone like an individual team that starts the process of exposure, and is any team going to do that? The big city marquee matchups are what the protect and covet the most. For example would the NFL benefit more form like say a GB/NE SB Matchup, or The Lions & the Bills? If you answer that truthfully, then I believe that I will rest my case.

Funny, and one is a sex offender, little boys I presume, just like Jimmy's preference.

Of your Avatar? I don't know, she looks pretty flat to me, maybe like 28-24-32

Very understandable, who is going to want to hook up legitimatley with that little munchkin look-a-like punk anyway.I am surprised he could reach that high.

Couldn't agree with you more, this guys is from my home town south of Pittsburgh, and believe me, he was reffing powder puff football games on a 60 yard field just a few years ago, al the sudden wa la, he is an NFL ref, and a head of his crew. His Dad and Brother were NFL refs, go figure! Not sure how he gets to ref for Steeler games, but I have seen him do many. Nepotism is alive and well. His crew has already been involved in a number of screw ups just this year, and his explanations post flag are more lengthy and confusing then any of the other refs that get to speak. Sooner or later he will be exposed, not that anything will come of it.

It's funny the title of your post. When I start talking with my brother about games down the road, he always stops me and states, "we can't look past this week's opponenet, and have to stay focused on them", to which I remind him, that we as fans can look ahead as far as we want and speculate accordingly, just so the players don't. I have to remind him that as intense as we might be about our beloved Bills, we don't suitup on Sundays. So let the speculation begin. Can't argue with your speculatuion.

What I said about Steratore is absolutley true, the other part was my scpeculation, but I guess your the type that doesn't think there is any manipulation at all, subtle or otherwise. Yes, we and the Lions are a feel good story, but don't expect that to get in the way of what ultimate goal is, big pay-off marquee games between big market cities, at just the right time.

Steratore is from my home town, about 30 miles south of Pittsburgh and as recent as 5 years ago he was reffing powder puff games, got in because of his Dad and Uncle, is a complete homer, and a terrible official, I have seen him refing steeler games. I think that he has ties to mafioso. The fix was in on this game, guaranteed.

Oh just great, exactly what this board needs, another english professer. No go tell me I speelled professer wrong.
