So if the Bills had lost would you and like minded people have thought it was done on purpose and a good thing? How can you say Jax will be better quicker? What in the world gives you faith in their organization?

1. This board has nothing to do with the teams success. Nothing. 2. If they post like you thank god. I'm hoping you're trolling. Did you not see the graphic during the game of how the jags could still clinch if things went right for them? Did you see that they had won 3 in a row and 4 of 5 before today? Why would they pick now to tank? Why would 53 guys who have no care about the teams draft pick purposely play poorly and jeopardize their career?

17-3 rams and the saints are about to punt! The game next week is going to be huge in that division. It looks like the panthers will be dispatching the jets.

I know I'm watching red zone and tracking the game. I was wondering why jimmy graham had no points! Lol

At this point in the season I can't argue that call. The rams came out to play today. 2 picks on brees already and up 14-0! Heard a stat that he has played the Rams 6 times and thrown at least 2 picks in all 6 games!

I thought that as I watched the game too. The offense is a lot of dribbling and screens waiting for a big to get position. Somehow it works though. It was really good to see them get the w on a day where they were ice cold from outside. Luckily sju was as well.

Sju was certainly running up and down at will. I had a few takeaways from this game. 1. Ennis is an absolute stud. He could carry this team in March. 2. I hate te new hand check rule. It drags out the ends of games, teams are in the bonus quickly, and makes many games free throw shooting contests. 3. Fair on the baseline is just money. This might not have been his best game but it wasn't a terrible one either. 4. There you are rak!!!! Nice to see inspire ball from him. 5. What else can be said about Jerami grant? He is certainly there energy guy. That dunk and at the end that block! Wow. 6. Nice to see Cuse hang on close games for 1 & 2 this weekend. I wish michigan could have finished the game better yesterday.

Just want to wish everyone good luck today. This is more than likely the get into the championship round. Hope all your studs do well! (As long as they aren't the ones I'm playing against :-)

So happy for dvr... Can watch this game and cut out some commercials for the Bills game. Will prob still get done at 4 with all the tv timeouts!

When the Bills were looking at 3 pretty easy games this was the one that made me nervous. Teams historically struggle when playing 3 straight road games in the 3rd game. With how poorly they showed in the 2 previous games my expectations are very low. I usually am in the boat of losing for draft position but this year I don't want that. I'd like to see many of things mentioned above. 1. Can Marrone keep the team together? 2. Can EJ play good on the road? 3. Will Hackett please call some screens and dump offs to spiller? 4. Can the defense get the timely stop? 3rd down and run defense have still been a weakness...

Hope you went with the bucs

I made it through the first round of playoffs in 2 leagues. Also clinched my division and first overall place in a league with no playoffs. My fourth team that was projected to go 13-0 before the season? 4-9 4th place in points. On of those years where I ran into a buzz saw every year.

Man I wish fb hadn't spoiled that moment for me. I (unfortunately) knew before watching that both the Governor and Herschel would die.

I don't know if I would call it a cheap shot but as soon as I saw I thought it wasn't going to be good. I made mention in the offseason that the draft concerns were starting to show up. I won't cry for the Pats* but this is a huge blow. While he played they were the highest scoring team in the NFL. Before he came back they lost to the Jets and almost the Bills! Especially a DB on such a big guy.

Yeah it was. I can remember exactly where I was. My best friend growing up lived in a funeral home. They lived upstairs while the parlor etc... was downstairs. I was in his living room downstairs. Man there were clues everywhere!!!

I'm glad you enjoyed my crazy. Story lines - does the NFL want big market teams in the Super Bowl or small. Does it want traditional powers to be there or the new guy on the block. Some great stories have been told in the NFL over the last decade plus... The Patriots winning the Super Bowl right after 9/11 Jon Gruden beating his former team. The Steelers (and the refs) beating the lowly Seahawks. The Giants ruining the perfect season of the patriots. The Saints after Hurrican Katrina. The Harbowl. These are just the Super Bowls let alone the regular season/playoffs. As TXBILLSFAN pointed out, the embracing of fantasy football by the league is in itself embracing gambling. Unless of course you think everyone plays for free. The books have made record money this year as pointed out in this thread. I mean it all could be a coincedence or it could not be. I use to think it was just a great game with awesome storylines and now I am starting to waver on that. You aren't. Good for you. Now answer me some questions. Why is every post you make an attacking one? Why do you come to a Bills board and not discuss the Bills but just go after other posters? You don't try to further your discussion, you try to make yourself out to be better than people here. If that is what you need out of this board to feel good about life by all means continue but your trolling is obnoxious.

So the result would have been the same. I think it would have been worth a shot to me. There were some people that appeared to be somewhat unwilling participants in this. The charge and scene in general felt to me like one of those scenarios where they were driving the story instead of having the people act how they normally would. The governor comes along and convinces all of these people to turn into cold blooded killers? Meh. On top of that why did nobody question what would happen if they did use force? They just blindly went for the ride. In this case the ride was a murderous rampage. I know suspension of disbelief etc... Shows like this (and why I like them) always make me wonder what would I do in these situations. This just seemed unlikely to me.

Thank you. 2013 was certainly by far the worst year I have ever experienced as far as losing people I cared about. I have spent more time reflecting on life this year then ever before. It certainly is a roller coaster and again I wish you and your wife nothing but the best. Attitude is the most importatnt part of the fight and it sounds like you have a great one (as evidenced below)! Yes you will!

The play that blew my mind was at the end of the half. Shotgun and kneel down?!?! If you are going to kneel it why is he not under center? The entire game I was yelling for screens and swing passes. If the pressure is getting there repeatedly you have to slow it down. That means either extra blockers or taking advantage of their aggresiveness. Hackett did neither. The one screen they did run Spiller took for an 80+ yard td (before being called back for holding). Then inexplicably they didn't go back to it!

The first year I was old enough to be a fan was the year Ronnie Harmon dropped a wide open pass in the end zone in the playoffs. I too wish I had seen it as a sign...

Wow that trade St. Louis made with Washington is going to pay huge dividends this year. Maybe they would be interested in trading up from their actual pick again. Give them 2 top 10 selections and we could perhaps get the same haul as last year.

I really like the college system. Every single play gets reviewed. It takes very little time and we have the benefit of it at home. With the length of time between plays (usually at least 20-30 seconds) there is no reason a few views upstairs (or in NY) couldn't be done. They would be done quicker and remove the stupid "oh we blew that call? Too bad you used both your challenges earlier in the game" rule.

Here is one example of that. well i apologize something happened to the formatting of the table I had copied and pasted. Google and the link I provided should suffice though.

Your reading comprehension is terrible.... Here are direct quotes from my "crazy comment" that answer your own questions. "Whether that is a Seahawks win or a niners win by less than 3." As for your patriots comment... "Many times there are games that should be easy covers, where the team will pull out a win and not cover. The correct storylines get pushed and a lot of money is made by Vegas. It's a win/win. Think the pats* game today. How much money do you think Vegas made on that today?" Also please don't gloss over my caveat at the end of the post "I haven't fully jumped to the dark side of believing it is entirely fixed but I am certainly moving closer and closer to that idea (realization?)." All of this was in my post that you directly quoted yet you are too quick to be a jerk to actually read.

Lol I thought to myself I wonder how long it will be before WEO shows up to defend the almighty pats*.

I swear you follow me around just to be an ass but no what he was saying was that even though the stats and his gut say that should have been a win by the niners he couldn't and wouldn't bet the game. Whether that is a Seahawks win or a niners win by less than 3. He routinely will pick a game where the line doesn't make sense and that is his "the fix is in" game. Many times there are games that should be easy covers, where the team will pull out a win and not cover. The correct storylines get pushed and a lot of money is made by Vegas. It's a win/win. Think the pats* game today. How much money do you think Vegas made on that today? I haven't fully jumped to the dark side of believing it is entirely fixed but I am certainly moving closer and closer to that idea (realization?).
