  1. As said above, once the ball crosses the LOS, the posession for one team becomes the "opportunity to posess" for the other. Thus the game would end when the ball crosses the LOS. A missed INT is not an opportunity to posess, because the rule clearly states that "The opportunity to possess occurs only during kicking plays." In literal terms, yes the DB may have had the "opportunity to possess." But, not according to the NFL rule, which I'm sure is what they would go by. -Bill
  2. No, a dropped interception is not an "opportunity to posess." The opportunity to possess occurs only during kicking plays, as stated above. Now, if the DB intercepts the pass, then fumbles it back to the offensive team, THAT would be a posession by the intercepting team. -Bill
  3. I would still think Team A would win the game... Once Team B punts the ball away, their posession is over. Since they didn't score during their posession, the game would end before the muff, or the recovery. -Bill
  4. Well, since you can't advance a muffed punt, I would assume that Team A would win. Even if you could advance a muff (which you can't) Team B punting would constitue in ending their posession and, as a result, the game would be over, again, with Team A winning. -Bill
  5. So, was this before or after he brought Marv Levy back as the GM...? I also thought that Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas currently work for the Bills in some capacity. I'm also pretty sure Darryl Talley was a Training Camp last year, working with the Linebackers... -Bill
  6. Or, you could do a 10 second Google search: http://www.amazon.com/NFL-Game-Archives-Buffalo-Playoffs/dp/B000VAHQYM -Bill

  8. The column you want to sort by using that chart is the first PCT. column... That will tell you what percentage of the seats are sold. While the Bills are ahead of NE on average attendance, NE's attendance is 100%, while the Bills' is 94.5 Bills sell more seats because of ticket price and the fact that RWS capacity is bigger than Gillette Stadium. -Bill
  9. He got put on waivers... He wouldn't have a choice. -Bill
  10. God, I absolutely HATE this argument... You know why? Because it's NOT TRUE! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_Bills_(AAFC) So, Buffalo did, in fact, have a football team, named the Bills, no less, BEFORE Ralph Wilson. Another one of those "facts" that some homers just love to ignore: Ralph only chose Buffalo after he was denied a team in Miami: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Wilson Buffalo could very well have gotten a football team, considering the fact that they were still a pretty decent sized city back in the 1950s and 60's. Dallas, Minnesota, Atlanta, Miami, New Orleans, Cincinnati, Tampa Bay and Seattle all received expansion teams between 1960 and 1976... if there was no team in Buffalo, one of those teams could very well have been put there. I won't go as far to say that there would DEFINITELY be a team in Buffalo if Wilson didn't put his team there, but to say that there 100% for sure WOULD NOT be a team in Buffalo is incorrect. -Bill
  11. What would be better, is if you could convince all of the fans to not attend. Radio City Music Hall empty on a Friday Night Primetime TV Slot... Bet that'd be the last time they televised the Draft in prime time. Also, I see the Madden 12 cover was revealed as well: http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m130/BLeonard1996/Madden12.jpg -Bill
  12. God, I feel old now... I still have the original catridges for SNES and Sega... -Bill
  13. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooney_Rule So, the punishment was $200k at that time... But, that's been the only instance, so the punishment could be different now. -Bill
  14. He raises prices and other teams don't, he gets closer to having to start paying rent at RWS... A lot of people most likley don't know that. He wants it to the point where he's making just enough to avoid paying the rent. That way, he keeps everything and pays out nothing. What he tells you (the fan) is that he's keeping prices lower, so more can attend... But then, he turns around and bitches about not being able to compete. The man is in it to get every dime, without having to pay anything. Sorry, no more of my cash for Ralph. No more jerseys, hats, etc, until division championship hats and shirts go on sale. Broncos owner Pat Bowlen is eating over $20 million to can Shanahan... I'll bet Jauron's new contract doesn't cost half of that. You're being figured out quicker and quicker by the masses, old man. Time to hold up your end of the bargain. -Bill
  15. Lot of interesting info in that lease... Like Jeffrey Littman's phone number. -Bill
  16. You guys want to know WHY the Bills tickets are the cheapest? It has nothing to do with the fans "not being able to afford it." http://www.erie.gov/billslease/index.phtml This is the Erie County/Buffalo Bills lease. By scrolling to the bottom, you will find a link to the Stadium Lease. Scroll down to "Article 3: Rent" You will find the following: Translated, this means that, if the Bills' ticket revenue is higher than the LEAGUE AVERAGE ticket revenue, they owe the city 50% of the difference. Having the lowest ticket prices in the NFL isn't Ralph's way of being nice, or thinking that the citizens of WNY can't afford higher prices. While it's nice to say "Hey, we have the cheapest tickets in the NFL," by doing this, the Bills guarantee that they will not come close to hitting the league average, let alone go over it, thus owing the county money. Basically, by having low ticket prices, he never hits or exceeds the league average, meaning he gets to use the stadium rent free. It's just another way for Ralph to pocket as much money as he can, while spending as little as he can. -Bill
  17. Actually, the possibility of this happening seems to be up to the Bills: http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...heref-headlines -Bill
  18. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/sou...-home-headlines Yes, it's official. -Bill
