That Steelers defense was an unorganized disaster, absent Pro-Bowl talent in their prime. The Bills defense is not with several Pro-Bowlers in their prime.

You get the impression the national media would enjoy a Chiefs-like beatdown of the Patriots by the Bills?

"I don't know about you guys, but I am ready to go right now. They can schedule the game for this afternoon, I'll leave work now and tailgate. I am so pumped already, I may need an oxygen tank Sunday." If there was a quote of the year contest, you'd have my vote.

The Bills always start off pretty good. It's when that game #3 rolls around where you see the Bills run into a fully prepared opposition and in years past, get smacked around. I'll believe if they don't suffer a let down and go in there and beat Miami. Even next week, the Patriots are relying on exactly one game of data. That's it. You can only prepare so much based off such limited information for a team with personnel and scheme so new. I doubt the Patriots know the Roman offense all that well and are cramming as much as they can. Sure, the Pats have played Ryan's defense but Ryan's defense never had so many playmakers, and as a result, creative options. There probably hasn't been a single game in this matchup in the last 15 years where the teams have been so evenly matched.

I love a coach who shows emotion on the sidelines. It's been a refreshing change after years of blank stares and monotone press conference responses.

The one thing I noticed in Pitt/NE is the NE ends had a difficult time holding the edge in the game. Pittsburgh could have stayed in that game by just running Williams around the ends.

She's a great athlete and a beautiful woman. But no actress. It's going to be no better than that inevitable Predator/Commando/True Lies tour de force with the Rock where all the cool guys will be replaced with less cool guys from professional wrestling. Carl Weathers? Oh, you get Dave Bautista now. Ventura? Please. We have Jon Cena for you. You know who's to blame for all this? Roddy Piper. Awesome in They Live, he gave Hollywood ideas...

The recent articles about Kraft driving the Goddell appointment as Commissioner tells me this guy has to win by all means. Petty things to headsets to putting *your* guy in the Commissioners office. I'm just surprised other owners haven't blunted the Kraft offensive on the NFL. An ethical businessman would have fired everyone related to these cheating scandals. All you need to know about Kraft is that everybody is still there.

I've never understood why teams don't give the Patriots the "Patriots Way" right back at them.

You know who bothers me most about the Patriots? Robert Kraft. That smug bastard walks around like nothing has happened and routinely champions himself as the voice of reason in NFL disputes. There has never been a single moment of public admission or realization of any kind that his organization has done things that set the game and the NFL brand back. The buck stops with him.

Pass short to Watkins on a bubble screen, right side. 8 yards 19 FD

For me, the telling thing will be if we make adjustments and I'm encouraged that we have professional coaches this year. Will we make adjustments at halftime? Will we make adjustments a few games into the season once opposing teams have tape on what we're going to do? The scariest part of the season for me is Game #3 because that's where in previous seasons, the jig's been up.

Eagles by far. Media sees the Madden numbers from the preseason and lose their minds. They ignore that they have players on that team that are talented but made of single pane glass like Bradford, Thurmond, Alonso, Ryans.

Not the first time I've heard the Giants being terrible. Crap OL, lots of injuries (Cruz, JPP) and old players. No linebackers, no safeties.

If you wanted to screw with the opposing team, you could start a different quarterback every week, just like preseason. Or rotate them in and out if one of them isn't having a great game. What is the downside to that? I'm surprised teams don't do this already - there's no rule you have to stick with one quarterback. Even if you have a blue chip like Aaron Rodgers, why expose your best quarterback for entire games if you don't need to?

I'm in a football contest and one of the tie-breaking questions is who selects the worst team in the NFL, record wise. Was wondering who you guys think will be the team with the worst record?

The first rule of arranging fight club with other people's kids - you better have eyes in the back of your head. Nothing makes a parent lose their mind more - and their logic filter - than somebody messing with their children. They don't care. Everybody has that Uncle Steve in their family who may have done some time upstate or who's just back from deployment who happens to have a temper, happens to be ok getting his hands dirty for his family and happens to have a crowbar.

I'd find Detroit interesting. A zombie outbreak in a city that barely has emergency and police services on a non-zombie problem day.

You are a rare person immune to the subtle terror of Sam Neill. Even in Hunt for Red October, where he plays a good guy, you half expect him to sink the submarine. This particular movie has a rare combination of gore, Sam Neill, all of the actors weren't that famous (pre-Matrix Fishburne) so all of them could be killed, and derelict spaceship suspense (akin to 2010, Aliens) where you have no idea what you're walking into.

My vote. I don't know a single person who's seen it who hasn't felt uncomfortable watching it and had nightmares about it.

I'm surprised George Seifert didn't crack the Top 10. Or a Losman/Edwards debate. What was the deal about that 2008 MNF game with the Browns?

I was curious as to whether anyone could tell me the top three topics that had the most posts, all time on the football only board? (Not counting Off the Wall, the politics board) I'd suspect the days leading up to Mario would be a candidate, but I wonder which one thread in the history of the board reigns supreme?

Good start but I'm officially bored with Los Angeles as a setting for shows. Too many years of the Terminator, earthquakes, aliens, and cop shows set there.

http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2015-08-28/clinton-camp-saying-it-already-secured-one-fifth-the-delegates-needed-for-nomination Joe Biden and/or Bernie Sanders has some work to do. For nomination purposes, all those cable news polls don't matter.

That's one snazzy windbreaker. Is the #ABC referring to "Always Be Closing"?
