  1. Good post, but I need to disagree with you on two things:

     

    1. I think JP's performance does merit a rating of 86. 86 is a decent rating, nothing great, nothing bad. That was his performance. He did some good things, but he didn't do anything disastrous (and the safety, as I've said before, was a complete team effort). I give him a little more credit than you do.

     

    2. The we need to do better stat. For me, by far and away it's: 41-183-4.5...rushing attempts, yards, and yards-per-carry for the Pats. We need to do much, much better or this will be a long season. Coming into this year, my biggest worry was our run defense. That didn't do much to allay my fear.

    Sorry... did not see your post regarding the poor run defense before posting my reply above. We agree! :angry:

  2. The defense not only played well, they played very well. Yes, they couldn't stop the Pats when they needed to but it took diving TD receptions to do it. And you can't expect a shutout.

    The Pat gained 180+ yards rushing averaging over 4.8 ypc(minus Brady's kneel downs at the end of the game). The defense had it's moments, but you won't win many games giving up that many rushing yards or that kind of ypc average.

  3. It has been discussed before.  The cable companies (and Dish) were not willing to spend as much money on the Ticket as DirecTV was.  The conversation basically went something like this:

     

    NFL: Who's interested in buying the Ticket for ~$700M/year?

    Cable: No way, that's too expensive!

    Dish: No way, that's too expensive!

    DirecTV: We'll do it, if you promise to make it exclusive to us until 2010.

    NFL: Deal.

    "Sources familiar with the negotiations said cable companies had an opportunity to get a piece of Sunday Ticket, but they balked at the high price."

     

    That's why it's exclusive - DirecTV forked over a ton of cash and the cable companies weren't willing to do the same.

    So what would have been better...getting 700 million from one provider or say for instance 300 million from each of the 3 or 400 million from 2 of the 3? I don't know if this was possible, but knowing that the number of subscribers would be much greater on cable, I am not sure why the NFL didn't work harder to get the the NFL Ticket onto cable tv.

  4. Maybe I can save 50 other people the trouble.........

     

    What?! No Bills on the list?!?!?!

    I'm sick of the national media's trenspar...transpairen.......transperr....invisible agenda against the Bills. They're obveeiously biased against anything from Buffalo and all they care about is blowing the dolfins and Patriots in every article ever written.

    Putting Buffalo at 43rd in hteir power rankings is a personel insult to my great-grandmother and I can't wait til we make them eat crow. Of course even if we win 5 straight SuperBowls they'll probably still ignore us because we don't have Teddy Brewski and Tom Brady, who they only like because he's gay.

    Wait til you see the email I'm sending to Chris Mortimer!!!!!!

  5. I think it is an overstatement that just because it's "buffalo pizza" means it is good. I have had many a pizza here in WNY where...

     

    - there is about a gallon of sauce on it.

     

    - Crust so thin that the slice falls apart right in your hand

     

    - Skimpy ingredients

     

    - burnt beyond recognition

     

    etc...

     

    I often wonder how you can f*** up pizza, but believe me, there are plenty of pizzerias that are cabable of this and make pizza hut look very good doing it.

     

    That being said, there are a number of pizzerias that can't be beat and are usually very consistent.

     

    Buckeye Mike...I'm not sure I follow you. If you eat a lasagna pizza you are a fat-ass, but a double cheese extra pepperoni, you aren't? :D:D

  6. Whats a good place around Buffalo to rent one? We live here, but kinda wanted to get 5 or 6 of us to go in on one together for a game.

     

    What does it cost for a loaded one for 2 or 3 days?

    I never ended up doing it, but 5+ years ago, I was looking at renting one from uhaul for a game. I don't think they do it anymore, but you can give them a call.

  7. it's just something we've always wanted to do - we drive in late friday and usually pass by the Ralph just to check out the RV lot and see if there is any drinking going on already!  Between the costs of a hotel, etc, this seemed like something new! 

     

    Thanks for the CruiseAmerica site - looks like we could pick on up in Scranton and it would cost about $900 for three days...plus gas though! 

     

    I wonder if Myers rents them for just the day/night?

    I don't think Myers is in the rental business at all.

  8. Includes all those on roster, PS, and IR. Newbies, take note: start learning these names so you can begin bashing incessantly and accumulating TBD credibility.

    Don't stop bashing these guys. Don't EVER stop. Beat these dead horses until they're bleeding from the ears. Beat them like you do your d!ck as you masturbate to young women dancing on youtube videos. Beat them like Liam Ezekiel beat Miro.
