Fair point. Good work. I wasn't considering it for Special Teams only.

HAPPY GAMEDAY TBD! It's a short week, it's a "play hard and survive" week. Thursday night games are never pretty. It's always a "do what you need to pull out a win, ugly or not, and move on and enjoy the extra days off" type of game. So let's do it today, folks. Do what you need to at work today to get to the evening--it may not be your best work, but do your job, and then, in the words of Bill Joel, we can "all enjoy the weekend for a change." You may be right I may be crazy ... don't try to save me; rather, "Just win, Bills, just win!" GO BILLS !!!

Two observations: There are a bunch of kickers on that list, way too many. That seems very lazy on the part of the people selecting them. Am I seeing it correctly, Patrick Mahomes not on that top 50 list? That too seems a little crazy/off?

The only appropriate response to this . . .

I'm not that impressed with the Texans' Defense as the PR department is: The only good (top-level) offense they have shut down was the Rams in week one, who they held to 14 points--but still lost. [Note, they did stifle the Ravens, but Lamar was out.] They have given up 20 to Tampa Bay (a loss), 27 to Seattle (a loss), 17 (a loss), and 29 to Jacksonville (which they somehow won). That’s an average of 25+ in these four games against these three playoff teams. Their average points allowed against the six playoff teams they have played is 22.5 points per game. Further skewing their D stats, they have had the luxury of playing the Titans twice already, who have scored a grand total of 13 points in those two games. And, they held the Lamar-less Ravens to 10. Yes, they are good. And mainly because of their defense, they have won 5 games. But the Defensive numbers are not as impressive when you look deeper. Take the Over on 22.5 for the Bills' offense.

The virtual measurement does not change the spot. And as said above, there seemed to be several times where the line judge marked it short--and the play in question was one of them. They should have challenged the spot; I think they would have changed it.

The good thing is, they didn't throw the ball at him. Put him out there 100% of the time.

Time out was called because the Bills had 13-14 players on the field.

131 yards rushing already. Come on!

Two wide-open receivers, with plenty of separation, and passes nowhere near them. That's a QB problem.

HAPPY GAMEDAY TBD! Nothing fun to say today. "Just win, baby, just win!" That's all there is to do. GO BILLS!

Gabe = Immature, selfish, etc. ???

You missed the spirit of the entire thread.

Since what decade have the Steelers been an "Elite" team?

What, they don't like the Blue Bird bus trips to Miami? And my mom will make an appointment if I don't get an "A+"!!!

Play at an All-Pro level and be the missing link to our run-stopping defense (run-stopping is the idea, anyway).

A few thoughts: - We lost that game on the first series--not going for it on 4th and 1. The Fish had just had a sh!t show on their first series--looked awful, we bury them early with a conversion there, instead, we punt. - Then again, the fourth & 1 play we did call was a complete disaster. Sometimes Brady is brilliant, and sometimes he calls plays like a 2nd grader playing Madden. - And even with all that, the three turnovers all in scoring position (while the game was still in reach) were what cost us any chance of winning. And all three by our best players. Hang on to the ball there, it's still a game.

Last week, back to Super Bowl favorites, this week, "Blow it up." This board is the poster child for bipolar disorder.

Well, the lesson of the day is that fan arrogance and overconfidence never wear well. "Any given Sunday." "Trap game." etc.

I know he gets maligned on this board, but thank goodness we have Dorain Williams. He may be the most dependable LB we have in terms of playing time. And he hits—it may not always be the right guy—but someone is going to get hit.

HAPPY GAME DAY TBD! Snow in Buffalo? No problem—fly south and enjoy the sun for a few days. And apparently, many of you are doing just that and driving up the usually cheap ticket prices at the Hard Rock. Well, for those of you who can afford it, I hope y'all have a great time dancing and celebrating a Bills win in the glow of the afternoon sun. It's the annual Fish Fry in Miami. Party time! GO BILLS !!!

An awesome testament to you, Dracon. Love it!
