[Ok a FOOTBALL thread. Can we beat NE?]

Can we stay out of 3rd and long while stopping them on 3rd down? No

 

Can we win the turnover battle? Yes

 

Will we finally avoid the costly penalties? Yes

 

2 out of 3 ain't bad

 

 

Bills 24 Pats 17

[Who's for Bledsoe?]

Since the competition is 2 injured guys, an NFL Europe player and Shane "Falco" Matthews, I'm goin' with Drew v. the Patsies.

[(OT) Motorcyclist clocked going 205MPH!]

It's all relative.

 

120+ mph was fun in a Saab turbo, 100 in a Dodge Colt was stupid.

 

I've driven a bike 100 mph for about 5 seconds but I wouldn't be a passenger!

 

70 mph is average for a car. On a 1976 100cc motorcycle or in a 19' boat with a 454, it's terrifying.

[Jax: 20 points - 2 wins....]

I agree with SDS.

 

One play/penalty each game and we could be 2-0 with our measly 20 points.

 

However, we would have the exact same team with the same problems.

[What we should have]

Jim Haslett, Jim Mora, Dennis Erickson, Mike Shanahan and their scouts ALL passed on Colbert.

 

But you are obviously smarter and have more football knowledge.

[COY WIRE SUCKS THREAD]

I dont want to turn this into a race issue, (but that's what I am doing) because i HATE when people use the race card for every little thing, but I bet you if (IF) Coy Wire was a fast, athletic, tall black kid, with the EXACT same talent (he would be a young Lawyer Milloy) , he wouldnt have HALF the fans he does today. ( I explain why he has fans below) He would be torn apart for his poor play. (There would be a CW Sucks thread)

 

Am I saying that our fans (white, beer lovin', over 35, blue collar) are racist? Absolutly not. It is just that in this day of the NFL, the very best athletes at that position {and most other positions} is (are) black. People ( I assume) enjoy rooting for coy wire because he is a young, SHORT, somewhat overacheiving {for his size} white kid from east bumblef--k (California) who for some reason they feel they can relate to. (You can't like him just because he's a Buffalo Bill) The loveable loser, maybe? (-e) (Yeah, Tasker & Pike were losers)

 

He sucks (at changing positions) and he's shown it.(that's why he's one of four for player of the game at bb.com today) He does play with heart (that's not important in the NFL) but ask "Rudy" {ya know, from the movie} and he will tell you that heart will get you nothing but one gimmee sack after years of hard work. ( except a degree from Notre Dame, a movie deal and a career as a motivational speaker)

 

Go ahead and flame away - but please realize that what I said is more than likely true.

[DE Hugh Douglas is OURS!!!!]

Even though he'd be a decent fit, he won't come here.

 

TD won't overpay and MM won't guarantee him a starting job.
