About four rows up from the field in the southwest corner. I actually got a ball from the game. Not the one Christie kicked to win the game unfortunately, but from half-time warm ups. Chris Mohr shanked a punt that eluded the fielders and it bounced right up into my arms. It’s in my attic safe and sound.

I have to agree with Don Banks (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/don_banks/10/31/snap.judgments/1.html#ixzz13zVNHnad) "The best thing I can say about the Bills is they're maybe the finest winless team I've seen in quite some time. Buffalo is 0-7, but it plays almost everyone tough. The Bills made the first-place Chiefs work almost five quarters for that 13-10 overtime win in Kansas City, and that was after Buffalo lost by three points in overtime last week at Baltimore. Chan Gailey's guys haven't quit, like the Wade Phillips-coached Cowboys. The Bills have lost at home by five points to Miami, and by just eight points at New England. And where it not for that well-timed Todd Haley timeout call on Rian Lindell's 53-yard field goal try in overtime, Buffalo would have finally had a victory to show for all of its efforts." We took two potential playoff teams to OT in their house two weeks in a row. They need to keep this up and pull off a win or two in the next three very winnable games for this effort not to be wasted, but I feel pretty good with this coaching staff and the talent that's starting to rise to the surface.

Nice work Wizard. As a meteorologist with some statistical training, I appreciate the attempt to predict the unpredictable. But one thing that bothers me is that many of the mock drafts aren't truly independent (a few posters brought this up in a different way). For instance, I find it funny how everybody put Bradford #1 after it came out that Adam Schefter, a few weeks ago, said he thinks the Rams could make him #1 overall. Before that, most of the mock drafts I saw had him going to WASH or even falling to us. You probably know to account for this already, but I think this is a big limiting factor with applying some of the statistical tools to these data. Having said that, it's some very nice work and a refreshing attempt to try to gain more insight into the process more than pure speculation.
