And this year we get the Jests after playing the Dolphins, whereas last year we had to contend with New England coming in. No reason why we can't be 3-3 after six games with a 2-0 division record. Also no reason, given the way we played yesterday, why we can't be 1-5.

The Fish were a good cure for what ailed us last year when we were 0-4. Here's hoping they have the same restorative powers next Sunday.

They change the rules without my knowing about it? I didn't know you can get convicted of a crime in a civil trial.

That, and no one did the hard count better. It got to where whenever we had a third-and-three or a third-and-four, one of the best plays in our playbook was Kelly drawing the D offsides. I loved that.

Kelly against Miami, opening day 1989. Kelly against the Jets, 1990 and 1991. Those are just the ones that spring quickly to mind, and there were many others. Tell you what he was REALLY good at though: getting the ball back with a one-score lead and seven minutes on the clock... and never giving it back to the other team.

Linky Somebody's missing and we all know who it is.

Man. Facts suck.

How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?... Yeah... Coach woulda put me in fourth quarter, we would've been state champions. No doubt. No doubt in my mind. Also the part where they're sitting in the diner and he keeps checking out his guns. I was ROFL

And a JJ thing... and a Shula thing his last ten years...

Uncle Rico is the funniest part of the whole movie, because we all know someone like him. The guy whose life peaked in high school.

Exactly. The mental mistakes I expect and can live with. The physical mistakes are unacceptable, and, now that they have lasted for two whole games, downright scary. Can anyone remember if what happened to Blass, Rick Ankiel, Chuck Knoblauch, and Steve Sax ever happened to an NFL QB?

I still thought it was a bad spot and the last replay showed that the ball was clearly over the yardline it needed to pass when JP went down. Also, the left guard's right elbow hit JP right in the head and drove him downward just as JP started to lunge forward.

Yep. Unless you don't, because the officials/league decide to go temporarily blind. See, e.g., Brian Skrudland's headbutt in the 1999 SC finals, which should have carried an automatic one-game suspension. Except the league decided to ignore it.

Sam Rosen and Bill Maas were horrible. And unless our guys start playing better, we're going to get announcers of that caliber for the rest of the season.

On the first one, we did hit him late. On the second one, it was borderline. The defender had his arms outstretched to hit Vick while Vick was falling backward and throwing, and when they met, the defender's hands landed right around Vick's facemask. Not intentional, but certainly call-able. Especially since Vick's helmet came off on the play.

1. The intentional grounding that wasn't called 2. The bad spot on JP's quarterback sneak and the ensuing refusal to reverse 3. Picking up the flag after calling PI on MeAngelo Hall's coverage of Moulds Those were three horrible, horrible calls yesterday. They also initially blew the call on JP's down-by-contact fumble in the first quarter -- I mean, I could understand if it was borderline, but it was so obvious and the ref was RIGHT THERE. I'm not complaining about the late hit calls. Those were legitimate calls, and they did call one late hit on the Falcons as well. If any of those three calls goes the other way (especially #2 or #3), we very well might win the game. BUT we played like stojan, we were coached like stojan, and didn't deserve to win, bad calls or no bad calls.

They grow ears that make them look like a cab driving down the street with its doors open?

Ah ha! YOU know what I'm talking about. Why on earth, if you had a starter with a rag arm, would you sign a backup whose arm is even worse?

Question: if Fiedler hurt his throwing arm, how would anybody know?

The cleats he changed into were the ones in which he fell down with nobody within 10 yards of him after he busted into the secondary in the 4th quarter, right? I'm glad Willis ran harder yesterday, but he could have had over 200 yards without that slip and several other runs that he "almost" broke.

The entire Inside The NFL panel picked the Bills.

Last night on Inside The NFL, none other than Danny Boy said he felt that the Bills had the league's best defense, even now.

Sounds a lot like what Houston's Antwaan Peek said before the first game.

Bingo from the Dingo.

And how big is Deion Branch, who was taken in the same round by the Pats that the Bills selected Parrish? Oh that's right he's 5'9". And he was the SB MVP last year.
