If we're comparing the situation to average joes, let's say I made a mistake and broke some rules that caused someone to miss a week of work (we'll leave violence out of the question, since it's obviously not acceptable in most normal situations.) I would probably lose my job, I would be lucky to get off with a fine. It's impossible to really compare apples to apples, but my point is that the NFL wants to change the culture and make these kind of hits unacceptable, and fines are one of the few semi-effective methods they have available. (Now, if they really cared about player safety, they would bring the regular refs back in, but that's another conversation.)

Pssst... they have other programming on, maybe he wanted to watch the pre-game coverage (which starts well before any other channels.)

What does Jim Harbaugh have to do with anything? Also, that's a lot of exclamation points.

I sent an email asking them to put together a Kyle Williams shirt. Maybe his face over some spaghetti? (Meat Ball.)

Yeah, but you still can't challenge a penalty (e.g. pass interference, personal fouls, etc...) which have been the majority of missed calls.

not even close. we've got 4, philly has 9.

I expect this to change as the season goes along with Trent Richardson building up a head of steam.

Since Cleveland's run offense and defense are also much better, I'd say it's a wash.

I think that was actually the fullback. Inconceivable that they would only leave a FB to block him, but it was #45.

FYP

Or a guy who turns retirement age and decides to retire. There's no story here, and the Buffalo News !@#$ed up.

Sloppy !@#$ing journalism. Poor guy probably had 20 friends call him yesterday and ask what he did to get fired.

Where's the "!@#$ Doug Flutie" option?

32. I was born in NYC and we moved to Elmira (Southern Tier area) when I was 6 or 7. My parents were both from Buffalo, and it broke my Dad's heart that I was rooting for the Jets for a couple of years. Then he took me to my first game, Bills vs. Jets, 1988. By the end of the first quarter I was completely on the side of the Bills, and I've never stopped rooting for them. It was an incredible game, an incredible memory, and hopefully I'll get to share something similar someday with my son, who should be born any day now. Fred Smerlas is still my favorite player, even if he is an !@#$.

Right 2 easy wins, just like last year. It's hard to win in the nfl.

Holy !@#$ing shitballs.

Holy !@#$ing shitballs.

Is rabies an STD?

I hear Tom Brady was available in the 6th round. We totally !@#$ed that one up.

At least nobody on our team or coaching staff got rabies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1TZrfGmFnc

I get that people are pissed with Chan, but I really think the development of these young, supposedly high talent players is not happening as it needs to, and that is on the position coach.

So besides the turnover machine called Fitz yesterday, to me the poorest part of our game was the play by the secondary. Our cornerbacks consist of 2 1st round picks (granted one of them was playing his first game) and a 2nd round pick in his second season, as well as a veteran. We have another 2nd rounder who made the pro bowl in his rookie season and a decent veteran playing at Safety. Given the amount of high round young talent (and seemingly dependable veterans) shouldn't we demand more of our secondary? Is it time for Catavolos to go?

This reminds me of the time I destroyed the family coffee table when we lost Super Bowl XXV. I was 10 years old.
