fergie's ire

I remember last year when Poyer said Josh was the best and Tuanon went crazy. This year even Tua is pretty much like "No kidding. That guy's AWESOME! Wish we had a quarterback like him."

Question: In order to save time, would you allow people to only watch 2 games if one of them was the Browns 6-3 game?

Yes, the Dolphins have poor play and injuries on OL, but how about that defense? When the Patriots took a knee just before half, it was the first opponent's drive in their two games that did not end in points.

Some of the fins fans who are still delusional are hailing the return of the deep ball connection between Tua and Hill after the Patriots game. There WAS a long completion, but if you saw it, it was emblamatic of the kind of play in that game on both sides of the ball. Hill Patriot DBs bracketing him front and back. Tua threw up a ball that looked like a punt. The defender in front of Hill stayed in front and didn't make a play on the ball. The DB trailing completely lost the ball (and Hill) and just ran past him...leaving Hill open to catch the ball. It was one of the ugliest deep ball plays I've ever seen.

Interesting. Maybe they have mended fences or maybe it was just rumors. Still....feels both parties have moved on.

They lost to a Patriots team that lost to the Raiders and looked terrible. Let's not pretend it was the 07 Patriots.

No? There were lots of rumors that they did NOT part on good terms and the post game handshake seemed a bit frosty. See discussion:

They might be. Also, after watching the Bills game and checking in on the Dolphins game, I think it might be possible that 3 of the worst 6 teams might be in the AFC East.

"Glad to be joined by newest broadcast partner. Thanks for taking over for Kirk as my new color commentator, Peter." "Woof...woof woof woof. woof. woof woof." "Well put Peter, couldn't have summed this game up better myself."

The record is even more amazing when you realize the two loss were the heat game and the Charles Clay drop. Could easily be 14-0

I found it so annoying this past week that, after the Bills/Ravens game, the medias favorite talking point was that Rogers was back and the Jets are much improved. Coming into the season most thought the Jets suck. Rogers was sacked 4 times and needed a 60 year field goal to win. Might that mean that both teams suck?

The Steelers, with a pretty good defense, had the same problem in the playoffs last year.

Yeah, I think the narrative of a choke is a bit overblown, but also of it being a blowout up to that point. In a game where both teams are scoring on almost every drive, I think of it like tennis. Need to score a touchdown to hold serve. Bills were broken twice in the first half, but the field goal at the end to match the Ravens' earlier field goal really helped. That way, even when they scored right out of the half, the Bills were really down a break. Just needed one stop to tie. That's the reason the Bills 4th quarter punt was so deflating. They had NOT been able to break serve (much like the frustration Jessica Pegula felt in her semi-final) and it seemed they just weren't going to be able to. The punt was like another break. So, that was the first time the Bills were down more than one break...but then they broke the Ravens...and again...and again.

Are you young...or have you found some miracle cure for LSBFS? I must say, I still carry the infection. I was expecting something like a perfectly executed drive to set up a winning field goal...followed by a doink. Or a block...which almost happened.

**sigh** How many times are we going to have to go over this? It's a really simple and straight forward calculation: The NFL passer rating equation involves calculating four separate values (a, b, c, and d) based on completions, yards, touchdowns, and interceptions relative to attempts, and then applying the formula ((a + b + c + d) / 6) * 100, where each intermediate value is capped between 0 and 2.375. Step-by-step Calculation: Adjust values: If any of the calculated values (a, b, c, or d) is greater than 2.375, set it to 2.375. If any of the values is negative, set it to 0. Apply the final formula: Passer Rating = ((a + b + c + d) / 6) × 100 Calculate intermediate values: d = 2.375 - (Interceptions / Attempts) × 25 a = ((Completions / Attempts) - 0.3) × 5 b = ((Passing Yards / Attempts) - 3) × 0.25 c = (Touchdown Passes / Attempts) × 20 Apply the final formula: Passer Rating = ((a + b + c + d) / 6) × 100 Adjust values: If any of the calculated values (a, b, c, or d) is greater than 2.375, set it to 2.375. If any of the values is negative, set it to 0. (Thanks Google AI)
