I know it has become fashionable to say that we should never blame the refs and that we should just focus on getting good enough so that bad calls won't matter. But any objective viewing of yesterday's game would yield three observations: (1) we did not play up to our potential; (2) the Jets had a better game plan than we did; and, yes, (3) every questionable call while the game's outcome was still in doubt went in the Jets' favor, to the tune of the very 17 points by which we lost the game. As badly as we played, and as well-prepared as the Jets were, if this game had been fairly called there is a very good chance that it would have come down to the final seconds, if not overtime. And I think that if the Jets don't realize this, they're going to be in for a serious can of whoop-a$$ in three weeks. Unless Hochuli and his crew get the game again, that is.

Of course, it didn't matter because there was about a 10-minute commercial break that allowed the Jets time to mix drinks, change into slippers and a bathrobe, review the call and make the challenge before we could snap the ball.

Yes. Really.

Except it wasn't a hold, but carry on.

Fat Rex had Maybin going after a sack the entire fourth quarter and he was still unable to get to the QB.

I have a feeling Sexy Rexy trolls forums very different than this one.

I doubt anyone thinks he asked for it. Everybody knows the other thing, though.

This. I tell you what, I miss Schobel a lot more than I do Mitchell.

My guess is that there isn't a bar or a pizza joint within 20 miles of Spags that you could call "unVinceable."

No...when we win the sun comes out. When we lose everything sucks, including the weather,

Fixed.

If his crew loves to call penalties, I think that benefits us more than the Jests.

Except we only wore them when we played Miami. Come to think of it, I loved them too. We had a pretty good record in them at home as I recall.

At least his trial won't take place until after the Patriots'* season is over.

Greg Cook and Speedy Thomas. Jacky Lee and Bill Groman. Well that settles it, Dalton and Green are headed for the Hall of Fame!

Once I figured out you could vote only for Bills players and not have to complete the entire ballot, it was easy.

PK also suggests the Patriots and Eagles, both of whom Buffalo has beaten, for the mantle of "second-best team in the NFL."

I can't think of a good team that would want to carry such an albatross right now. The guy comes with a fan base that wants, nay demands him to play. The minute the starter falters these yahoos will be out in full force again. Let him take his lumps and if he can't handle it, then he can't handle the NFL. Period.

Regardless of who it was, if he thought that the state of New York was going to exempt him from taxes just because "the contract was signed in Florida"...well, maybe it WAS McGahee because only someone from the U could have thought something so ridiculous was true.

Yes, if I were him. But if I had been IN HIS SITUATION, I would have come here.

Three games, because in order to get ahead of us in the standings you would have to win an extra game due to losing the head-to-head.

Truer words were never spoken. You all remember what Belichick's Jets D did to Flutie in '98, right? I think the final was 34-12. I would say to wait until week 15 when Belichick gets his shot at Tebow, but someone will figure him out before then.

This. If you don't think Shawne Merriman was being played differently than Aaron Maybin is, you're watching the wrong games. I doubt offensive coordinators spend a fifth of the time on countering Maybin as they do Merriman. We drafted him to be Shawne Merriman. He's not. He fills a niche role in New Jersey very well, but he was never going to do that here and satisfy people. Let's just let it go.

The guy is absolutely right. Some things IS just funny. Reminds me of Hogboy in the good old days. Whoever Jimmy Spags is, we need more of this.

Always thought we might have won Super Bowl XXIII, or at least played in it, if he hadn't punched Tim McGee in the AFC Championship Game in '88. Although that phantom facemask against Bruce probably had more to do with it. Let's not forget that the trade that REALLY got the greatest era off the ground was the one that sent OJ to San Francisco in 1978. That's the one that netted us the pick we used on Cousineau in 1979, whose rights we traded to Cleveland in 1983 for the pick we used on Jim Kelly.
