Rayzer, you're a good poster and I don't think we've ever crossed like this before. I do realize Stevie is human and that humans drop footballs. I'm just saying that he doesn't need to do all the other stuff and that him doing it today very possibly cost us the game. It certainly didn't help us. As for the botched squib, humans miss kicks too. And that 53-yarder shows he's not exactly some duffer off the street, but we should have realized it last week when he kicked the longest FG ever by a Bill not named Steve Christie. A squib made football sense. He messed it up. But if hadn't been for the mental mistake by Stevie, Rayner doesn't get put in position to make a physical mistake. And mental errors are far less excusable.

You are guessing.

So he threw Stevie under the bus to protect his backup kicker?

No, he only kicked at Michigan. And nobody ever practices squib kicks. They're too fancy.

Shhh. Don't you know we don't know anything about football?

And Sanchez absolutely did miss some fourth quarter passes today, some badly enough to draw boos. The throw to Burress was a prayer and .... Burress made the play. He made another sick one earlier in the quarter too when he skied to get a high pass and somehow came down before Florence could push him out. I hate him but if we had him today, we win the game. End of story.

And you want to know who's one hell of a baller? It kills me to say this, but it's Plaxico Burress. He made THE play of the game on third and long with that circus catch and saved Sanchez's bacon. Meanwhile Fitz hits Stevie right in the f'in hands and look what happens. Ronnie Harmon time. Okay, so Chan lied when he said he called for a squib. Now we're comparing Stevie to Jerry Rice?

One hell of a baller does not drop the biggest pass of the game. It's not like he's Jackie Smith playing out the string after a HOF career. He's still trying to make a name in this league. After the drop last year and the drop today, plus the third excessive-celebration penalty in two years at critical times, it's clear he's making the wrong kind of name for himself. Shut. Up. And. Play.

This lawyer says it was the proximate cause. No stupid penalty = no attempted squib = 99% chance ball goes through end zone = much more difficult row for Jets to hoe. This is hard to understand why?

His celebration cost us 15 yards. We had no desire to kick the ball to McKnight so we called a squib. Rayner screwed up the squib and hit a Jets player. The Jets recovered and had a short field: no room for Edwards' defense to bend, so it broke. Maybe the Jets still score from their 20. Odds are pretty high that they don't..not seven, at least. We go in tied instead of up. Without Stevie's celebration, Rayner kicks it deep...the one thing we know he is capable of doing consistently. But since I don't understand a bit about football, none of the above can possibly be true.

That said, he did own up afterward and said his celebration cost us seven points and that his drop could have been a touchdown. Good for him. But why is he learning this NOW?

I love how every time a Bills fan dares to criticize a player he's accused of trying to run him out of town. Jesus christ folks. The selfish excessive celebration cost us 7 points, yes it did, and his drop at clutch time may have cost us 7 more. If he was worth two touchdowns to us with his play today, he was also worth two to the Jets. I call that a wash, and that's not what I expect from him. Although maybe I should. That's two huge drops with the game on the line in two years. And we're talking wide-open, hit-him-in-the-freaking-hands drops. Meanwhile Plaxico saves Sanchez on a terrible throw with a circus catch with the game on the line. Plax is a thug and a loudmouth....but unlike Stevie, he backs up his big talk. If Stevie's wittle feewings are hurt then too !@#$ing bad. Shut up and catch the ball next time.

New rule: anyone posting something like this has to share his stash with the rest of the room.

I think the roster broke down long before this thread started.

Except I don't think he was bracing. I think he thought he was walking in.

Excellent Dead reference. Although I would prefer: "If I had me a shotgun You know I'd blow you straight to hell." Also, I wonder what the people who defended Nelson's cute TD celebration last week thought about his performance today.

If you think a quarterback is going to fix what ails this team, you need a lot more than just glasses.

Really?

Had to think about that for two seconds. Excellent.

I realize the score itself was not out of hand, but there are different 21-7s. The 21-7 I was watching most certainly felt out of hand. Which is not to say we couldn't come back (we've done that already this season, although the difference here is this was on the road), just to say that we were getting our asses handed to us and it wasn't the right time to do anything other than hand the ball to the official or equipment manager. Maybe Nelson's mistake wasn't so much in doing what he did, but in saying during the week leading up to the game that he was going to do something for her if he scored. Once he said that publicly (or even just to her) he was pretty much bound to it regardless of the score.

Well, I didn't, and I most certainly am!!!! QFT BRH

I didn't realize this board was limited only to topics that met your approval. My bad.

My wife is that hot. Really, honey! You are. Just in case you're reading.

And my post continues to slide down the "most embarrassing" list.

Good for him. I mean, it's not like he ran over to a Jets cheerleader and said it. Rayzer ftw btw
