As already noted: Joe Burns never played in NFL Europe. The guy who did - Ken Simonton (who won the Offensive MVP over there, IIRC) - is currently out of the league.
And if y'all would be happy with Joe Burns as your starter if anything happened to Willis, I want some of what you're smoking. Personally, I'm still shocked he survived the final cutdown in training camp.
Correction on Simonton's status, he's currently on the 49ers Practice Squad.
I was surprised that Burns made the final cut as well. Though in reading his bio at BB.com I saw he was second on the team last year in special teams tackles with 34 and am sure that caught Bobby April's eye and why he's probably still here. As Burns is not a guy I want getting 20 carries a game. He showed when Henry got hurt last year he couldn't be depended on.

Wrong QB for the Browns, the guy playing in Cleveland is Kelly Holcomb. Stouffer played with the Seahawks in the late 80s/early 90s.

From the Miami 5. Bills in the I formation, Sam Adams in at FB, Bannan in at LG. Bledsoe goes back to pass, he hands off to Adams, but here comes Jonathan Smith who takes the reverse, wait no Smith holds up and is looking to pass, he throws in the back of the endzone and it's caught by Jason Peters who reported as an eligble tackle.

What cost Green his job was a lack of defense. As good as the Vikings offense has/is they don't have the defense to put them over the top. Even with "The Great" Ted Cottrell the Vikings defense this season ranks 27th this season. This with 9 of their 11 starters being selected in either the 1st or 2nd Round of the draft.

Second, getting ready for 2005 with Shaun King? Who prepares for 2005 with Shaun King?
Third, Green had a shot at Roethlisberger and Rivers in the draft this year, he took Larry Fitzgerald instead, which meant that he had confidence in McCown. Less than 10 games later, McCown is benched? It makes Green look bad.
King got a raw deal in Tampa Bay. While the Bucs did eventually win a Super Bowl with Brad Johnson who's to say King couldn't have done the same. That said I think King is a career NFL Backup One thing to remember though King was far more successful at Tulane then Losman was.
That said Dennis Green might not look so foolish if he can manage to get a veteran QB this offseason. I'm pretty sure Arizona a team that has the cap room that could afford to trade for Drew Brees this offseason. They may even pursue someone like Quincy Carter, as part of Green's success was more with the long passing game vs the short.

Anyone that knows anything about Howard Stern should understand my nickname.

We might end up beating Pitt if they've wrapped up home field through out the playoffs and want to bench some starters. There's a chance we could beat them all but it will again come down to how the offense performs on the road. It comes down to what I said in the preseason, if we can score an average of 17 points a game there's a chance we can win each week but of course the offense hasn't been able to do that as of yet. Here's how I see it turning out:
Sun 11/28 @ Seattle Seahawks L
Sun 12/05 @ Miami Dolphins W
Sun 12/12 Cleveland Browns W
Sun 12/19 @ Cincinnati Bengals W
Sun 12/26 @ San Francisco W
Sun 01/02 Pittsburgh Steelers L

I pretty sure it's because the 3rd team QB is deemed the "emergency QB" and as a result not officially counted in the list of 45 dressed players that can be used anytime in the game. As a result of being one of the 8 non actives for the games, the emergeny QB should only be used in "emergency situations" ie late in the game. Of course if you are late in a game and an injury occurs to your 3rd string QB occurs you'd be able to replace him with another QB and not forced to move someone out of their natural position. Of course if you want to cirumvent this you can always put your 3rd string QB amongest your 45 dressed but prevents you for dresssing someone else that might be better served being dressed. Such as a backup DB, WR, Lineman or LB ie someone that can contribute on special teams/ or 5 Wide Out formations or nickel or dime situations on defense etc. In terms why the NFL insists that only 45 of the 53 on the active roster can be dressed on game days is a whole other question.

There are 31 other teams out there who would gladly prove to the doubters just how good EM is the moment he (hypothetically) got let go. It would be a damn shame if it ever happened. He is easily the second best receiver we have ever had here, with all due respect to the shortened career of Jerry Butler.
Exactly, put Eric Moulds on the Baltimore Ravens and that team might be as good if not better then Pittsburgh right now. While Moulds might not be a top 5 NFL WR these days there were some good points made on WGR the other day. He might not make an average team good, (like Owens didn't do much with San Fran the last few years) Moulds could make a good team better.

Actually it is the opposite. for over 4 years now we have been 'rebuilding'. By now playoffs are in order. No one should get 7 years as you suggest to turn around a franchise in this day and age.
And BTW...I really don't think anyone gives a stevestojan one way or the other if you respect them or not.
Actually part of the reason our 'rebuilding plan' has gone so badly is John Butler's poor drafting in 2000. Everyone agrees that the two main needs on defense we have now is a lack of pass rush and a question mark at FS. Had Erik Flowers/Corey Moore and Travares Tillman lived up to their predraft billings and selections some of these question marks would be filled thusly making us a better team. Just imagine if we could replace the selection of Erik Flowers with Darren Howard. Howard would give us added pass rush and I'd imagine Tom Donahoe would have not traded up to get Ryan Denney allowing us to keep the 3rd and 4th we gave up for him. If so maybe we have Randy McMichael on this team.
I bring up the 2000 draft as they say it takes a good 3-4 years to show how well you did in a draft. Look no further then the Patriots, in that draft they landed Tom Brady and we all now how he's turned out to be.
Though we could even go so far as saying the drafting of Todd Collins in 1995 is another reason for our current struggles.

On the heels of his questionable decision to put an unpracticed JP in against a Buzzsaw, MM has perhaps topped himself by starting Baker against one of the best passing offenses in the NFL. Should've been done weeks ago if it was going to be done - at least then Baker would have had some practice. Now, he gets to learn against the Rams' potent aerial attack... good stuff. Expect a long day on Sunday.
(Btw, I'm not suggesting Reese isn't a no-talent assclown - clearly, he is - but the timing of this move is awful.)
I disagree, if we're going to find out if Baker's going to be anything more then a career backup we might as well try him out against the NFL's best. The timing might be now as Lori eluded more reflective of McGees struggles. Now if Baker shows to be better then Reese we might end seeing Vincent back at CB and allow Terrence to return to be our nickel back which seems to be the position most fans want him at. Then during the offseason or during the draft we could either take a FS or CB pending on where the Bills expect Vincent to play in 2005. If it's FS it shows the Bills have little long term faith in Baker. If it's a CB it could be they plan on shifting Vincent over and need someone to replace Vincent or McGee's CB spot. Not to mention Clements and Thomas are due to be UFAs after 2005 so our depth at the CB position could quickly evaporate.

Howard still owes me money.

I haven't made an image map in ages. The program of choice that I used back in the day was GeoHTML. As it writes all the HTML code for you, all you really need to do is make the shape of the area you want to use in the map ie no need to get the coordinates from MS Photo editor and typing them in etc.
Of course it is an older program and lists Win NT support, so would think would run in XP but if by chance it doesn't work, I'd suggest compatibility mode with some other Win system.
Anyways, I did a quick google search and think this is a link to the official site.

Some say no, but I hope that the Bills take a look at Hopkins who will be a ufa next season. Nothing long term mind you, but from what I have seen, he is at least as good as JJ and might come cheaper because of his age.
Admittedly, this is a stop-gap measure, but I cannot see devoting huge cap dollars to Jennings, especially with what is going on at RT.
Brad Hopkins isn't a bad short term alternative, infact he's a guy I think Jennings compares to. In both aren't All Pros but they get the job done quietly and are good players. Though if I were Tom Donahoe I'd transition Jennings if have the chance. As if Jennings does get a favorable deal elsewhere we'd have a chance to match it. Chris Samuals and LJ Shelton are two guys who might be available as cap casualities that might be worth looking at but both might command as much if not more then Jennings might on the open market.

One thing TD screwed up on was the DB. I woulda kept Winfield. He would play his A** off every game. I think he has several picks this year in Minn. I guess were stuck with Clements who gets burned EVERY game. Atleast he does return one for a TD every year, but I liked Winfield better.
When did Clements get burned against New England? It seemed to me that Brady was completely focused on McGee's side. The only pass I remember going Nate's way was the one he picked off.

listening to the morning extravaganza on fox radio, i can't believe this is even a topic. granted it was 6 pm west coast time, but man i thought that opening was hilarious, granted i love the desperate housewives show, so i got the humour, but people are saying they are truly offended by the content and the innuendo's, have really we become that bad as a society where we can't have anything that might suggest something that might be slightly racy(i said racy, not racist.) the only thing that upset me about the beginning is seeing how much nicolette sheridan has slid down the babe scale, i think its the lip implants, but she in no way is as hot as she was in her knots landing heyday!. Hey america, grow a pair!(women are excused from that last comment)!
Nicollette Sheridan is still hot in my eyes, but I still can't get the mental image of Marcia Cross in that red number from a few weeks back out of my mind.

I'm surprise no one has mentioned the passing on drafting Jason Witten, especially in how well he did last night.
