I Would be shocked to see him on the field on Sunday. He would need to learn a bit on the terminology before getting on the field, even if he does know the defensive schemes. BigPappy

What are you talking about? Winning in double digits? Are you kidding me? how about just winning. Their schedule is not as easy as it looks. Just look how they are playing. There is no way they can beat the Jets next week! NO WAY! They have not proven they can win winnable games, let alone the tough games on a consistent basis. They may go on a streak after the bye week, but it wont matter by then. The Jags and Buc's are the "gimme" games, but by no means a definite win. Falcons are aas bad as us so that game could go either way. Then you have the Dolphins who by the time we play them may be fighting for a playoff berth and finish with the Patsies who will be resting their starters. A game we should win, but we all know how the steelers game turned out when they rested their starters! FWIW JMO BigPappy

Horrible throw by EJ. Now the the game is OVER! BigPappy

Remember the good ol' days before the season started and everyone said we would have a better record then the Jets. This team is light years away from being a consistent winner. BigPappy

That's why I usually do my Kids Laundry while I watch. At least I can be doing something while I watch this team loose time and time again. BigPappy

This is seriously painful to watch. I knew this was not going to be any easy game to win but Buffalo has been totally Flat all day. EJ is very rusty! BigPappy

This is beyond true iEat_Phins. Broadcast companies are Billions of Dollars industry. They have TONS of money off of commercial adds that play during games. There is no way they let the FCC reverse the Black Out rules for NFL games. I strongly disagree. Your die hard fans that regularly attend games will continue to attend games. Same goes for your season ticket holders. The Black Out rule never has effected them because they attend as many games as they can. Every team has these types of fans and they will never go away. The one thing most people don't get is now a day's with the Money NFL teams make, a very small percentage of it is in ticket sales and concessions. I remember reading an article online( I don't remember where), but it was on this very topic and it said that less then 20%(if i remember correctly) of the money made by teams come from ticket sales and concessions. Selling seats is not as important to teams anymore, at least money wise, it not. They fill the stadiums for the atmosphere. The sold out crowds of screaming fans getting into the game energizes the team. BigPappy

I am very acquainted with the game of Football and the idea of offensive and Defensive tendencies. While I did not play professionally, I did play on several levels. While I agree with the fundamental Idea of tendencies, I TOTALLY disagree with the thought process of calling a specific play at the end of a game that you are technically still trying to win to befuddle future defenses. When the game is tight, you go for the high percentage plays. Plays that you know are working in the game and will gain you yards and get you the first downs. BigPappy

Good thing you stopped there. I was starting to think you were going to hyperventilate! On a serious note, I 100% agree with ya. Some of Hackett's play calling has been horrible. Someone really needs to ask him, why the F@$K are you passing on a 4th and 3 when your RB's are GASHING the D line. BigPappy SERIOUSLY! Are you kidding me. Serving Notice to future defenses! That is total BS. Screw that! How about finishing the game your in and not worry about what future defenses are going to be looking at. If you truly believe this, step away from the keyboard man cause you need to be band! BigPappy

This.....times 1000!!! I am hoping that once EJ is back (which he finally is) he will settle in and start playing like everyone expected him too. If this happens, I can definitely see the Bill's taking the division next year. Their Defense is looking top 10 and the offense once they stop making mistakes, could be top 10 as well. BigPappy

You beat me too it eball! BigPappy

That's a pretty big if RyanC883. I love how everyone says....Steelers, thats a win, Tampa.. Win, Jacksonville...Win. Yes they are winnable games, but until we prove we can win a "Winnable" game we are still bottom dwellers of the AFC. I hope they prove me wrong, I am sure at some point they will. It just wont be this season. BigPappy

Hahhahahahhahaha. This one has he laughing hysterically. Given the fact that we still have to play the JESTS and Bill Belicheat's Patsies, I don't see 10-6 as a possible future. Maybe split those and go 9-7 I can see as realistic. Lets hope EJ remembers to slide and step out of bounds before he gets drilled again. I don't see the Steelers game as an easy win either. Especially in Pittsburgh. BigPappy

Thanks for the follow up. Based on their records, Brady was much better. I would question why he was a 7th rounder in the draft. I really don't follow college football so I don't know much about players when the come out of the draft. For the record, I was not comparing the two. Not that you said I am, I just want to be clear. I don't think Jeff Tuel will be another Tom Brady. The reference was simply to make the point that draft position and college performance means very little. I am sure dozens on this boards can list off first round QB's that were said to be up and coming super stars in the NFL that fell flat on there a$$. BigPappy

that is very short sited thinking indeed. How good was Tom Brady in College? Admiringly I don't know the answer, but he was a 7th round draft pick so logic tells me,...probably not that great. Well I guess how how that turned out. Can you say Hall of Fame QB! Good thing your not our GM or coach! BigPappy

This.... Cant agree more HamSandwhich. Cut the kid a break. He's a unrestricted free agent signing who got as you said ZERO reps before the Cleveland game.. At least let the guy play a half and see what he can do. BigPappy

Are you F'ing kidding me! You can't give drew that kind of time to throw!

Won't matter. Under 2 minutes all plays are reviewed by the booth. BigPappy

FORGET PLAYING TO WIN, START PLAYING TO CAUSE PAIN. The Refs arn't going to let us win anyway. BigPappy

The offensive Line is playing like a HS team! BigPappy

I am too. Usually on Mario, but on Kyle also. IT's only been called though once or twice. Total BS. BigPappy

AHhh, This one, big time. Saints have had a ton of no call penalties. BigPappy

Touchdown!

Thad better pick it up, he looks like shiznit BigPappy

I Don't care how old Freddy is, He is a MONSTER! BigPappy
