Why does Stevie get a pass? Really? Dude, he's a wide receiver. What do you expect him to do - - punt? Ya gotta love the interweb.

Not really about cracking the code, but on the subject of WWII and pigeons, betcha didn't know: http://www.military.com/video/operations-and-strategy/second-world-war/project-orcon-pidgeon-guided-missile/897399315001/

Who shot J.R.?

Think again. Most people don't give much thought to on-line security. If you are in the minority who do, you owe it to yourself to read this article: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/11/ff-mat-honan-password-hacker/5/ The more I read Wired, the more impressed I am by it. Seems like I often learn interesting, relevant stuff that isn't covered much elsewhere. Anybody else read it?

Usually?

If anybody wants to make a celebratory "winning season still" it don't need to be a fantasy - - my youngest brother Darryl can get you the parts - - but he'll want some of the moonshine.

Too bad our taste expert can no longer tell us if they taste different.

Sometimes I wonder if there's a bit of a "chicken and egg" issue with the historical perspective. On game day, the QB generally gets too much blame when a team loses, and too much credit when a team wins. So if his TEAM wins several championships, there is a tendency to look back at a QB and put him on a pedestal. Sometimes the QB deserves the credit he gets, but sometimes it's just a media-caused distortion. I suspect the same sort of thing holds true for coaches. In short, does a winning QB/coach combo get praised because there was some synergy at work between them, or does a winning QB/coach combo automatically get praised just because they won? And if you won the 1st championship with a so-so QB/coach combo because of the other talent on the team, you know that QB/coach combo ain't gonna get fired right away. They may get another chance at a ring. Not saying I'm certain of this, but sometimes it makes me wonder.

They should have cut out the middle man.

If the Jets beat the Pats tomorrow, the Jets will already be guaranteed the tiebreak advantage in any two-team tie with the Bills, even if we beat the Jets in the last regular season game.

So he's part of Ralph's secret plan for keeping the Bills in Buffalo?

that if the Jets beat the Pats tomorrow, we cannot win a 2 team tiebreaker with the Jets at the end of the regular season, no matter what else happens in the remaining regular season games? It's true.

I disagree. The key is to make the Colts mistakenly believe that Chuck Pagano has already been cured: http://www.theonion.com/articles/cancerstricken-chuck-pagano-annoyed-colts-couldnt,29986/?ref=auto

Where do people get this "we control our own destiny" stuff? Here's the facts: Even if we beat Indy, Seattle AND everybody else left on our schedule, we don't control our own destiny. The teams currently ahead of us for the 2 wildcard spots are: Pitt: 6-4 Indy: 6-4 Cinci: 5-5 Of those three teams, the only one we play this season is Indy. If we beat them, they have 5 losses. Among those three teams, the only game any of them have left with each other is a game between Pitt and Cinci. If Cinci wins that game, then Pitt and Cinci will each have 5 losses. We already have 6 losses, so even if we win the rest of our games, we can still finish behind all three of those teams. That means we do not control our own destiny. If we win out to finish 10-6, we have a very good chance of making the playoffs, and we won't need much help from other teams. But that's doesn't mean we control our own destiny. At this point, we don't.

Actually, even if we beat Seattle AND everybody else left on our schedule, we don't. The teams currently ahead of us for the 2 wildcard spots are: Pitt: 6-4 Indy: 6-4 Cinci: 5-5 Of those three teams, the only one we play this season is Indy. If we beat them, they have 5 losses. Among those three teams, the only game any of them have left with each other is a game between Pitt and Cinci. If Cinci wins that game, then Pitt and Cinci will each have 5 losses. We already have 6 losses, so even if we win the rest of our games, we can still finish behind all three of those teams. That means we do not control our own destiny. We need help from other teams, even if we win out to finish at 10-6.

Thanks for the heads up. I like watching the US men's national team play, but I'm only a casual soccer fan. I'm vaguely aware of the World Cup qualifier schedule so I look those up in advance - - but I sometimes miss the "friendlies."

Too bad Denzel Washington weren't the pilot.

Reports are - - - that's just a minority opinion. C'mon man, I can talk about Darlene 'cause she's family. If you want to fantasize about what she looks like, I guess it's a free country (long as you don't try to start a humorous Bills thread on the main TSW message board), but keep it to yourself.___________________________________________________________ And to any mod who happens to read this: Not even an icon to show that this thread was moved to OffThe Wall, even though it specifically talks about the most recent Bills game, Nix, Ralph, and asks for Bills related responses? Your rules, not mine, but somebody please 'splain to me why this thread was moved.

Hey, it ain't my fault Chami-nada beat Virginia. Take it up with Ralph Sampson.
