Reminds me of when DeSean Jackson dropped the ball before crossing the goal line. There was no interpretation by the refs that his intent was to drop it after crossing the goal line. He made a dumb/lazy mistake and paid the price.

My friend is a huge Jets fan and his comment last night was that the Bills are the only AFC East team that got better this year.

Unless I'm mistaken, Houston got called for 4 penalties: unsportsmanlike (off-setting), two false starts by Tunsil and a delay of game (intentional?) on a punt. Did I miss any? No in play penalties? I'm not a conspiracy theorist but how is that possible? Especially for a team that was getting dominated for over a half?

You're a salt in the wound type, eh?

That was a beautiful thing. The fact that Vrabel did it in New England made it better. Even better was Belichik exposed the rule in a 33-0 win over the Jets.

I just recently became a big fan of the Titans.

It makes a bad day a little bit better. Ravens/Titans will be a slugfest. The 300 yard truthers won't like that one.

When positive goes negative. Didn't take long, did it?

FGs instead of TDs when we had control of the game.

Life time Long Islander, father was from Chicago so no ties to local teams. When I first started watching football, Jets and Giants were low on star value (Namath was on his last legs) and not winning. Somehow every year I liked a different team - who by coincidence had just won the SB. Dad took me aside and explained the error in my way. Back to the star value, I absolutely loved OJ - still one of the most exciting players I've ever seen - and since the Bills were from NY a choice was made and I never looked back. By 4th or 5th grade I was rocking a Bills jacket and hat to school (which was very unusual down here) and puts it around 1972-73.

LOL. Similar story on a smaller scale. I'm also an out of towner, but have been to Buffalo for three games (all wins). If you ever get a chance make the trip, you won't regret it. My box of Flutie Flakes (along with a few other Bills items) has been on display since the Steelers game.

Agreed on the push back and Hopkins being the (IMO much) better player. I happen to like the stats vs. eye test debates. But are any posts here particularly productive? 8 hours left to kill. Go Bills!

On the matter of incredibly uninteresting, we disagree. I found it interesting that he posted stats which on the surface suggested there wasn't such a large gap between the contributions of the two players this year. Doesn't mean that the stats prove that. On the contrary, I took a superficial attempt at substantiating the 'implication' by looking at first down receptions and came up empty. And I don't think OP needed to imply any opinion when he specifically said the Bills should worry more about the RB's than Hopkins due to the stats. On that matter OP and I disagree.

Frampton Comes Alive! Fun fact: part of the album was recorded at the Long Island Arena. Never saw a show there, but wifey saw Styx and a better claim to fame is the Long Island Ducks: The Ducks are most famously known for player-head coach John Brophy, who is believed to be the role model for Paul Newman's character of Reggie Dunlop in the movie Slap Shot.[2] Brophy encouraged and epitomized "old-time hockey" and brash physical play, retired as the league's career leader in penalty minutes, and was once suspended for half of a season for knocking down a referee.

I don't think OP ever asserted that Hopkins was better than Brown, he just made an interesting statistical comparison between the two for this year. OP's assertion that McD and company should be more concerned with Hyde and Duke as a result is unfounded IMO.

At the risk of speaking for OP, I think his point was about current year productivity, not a comparison of their careers. And I didn't think he was saying Brown was better than Hopkins. Where I think OP over stepped was: "I'm guessing Carlos Hyde and Duke Johnson are probably worrying Frasier and McD more than Hopkins,"

The old saying applies here: truth is stranger than fiction. The whole situation is hard for me to relate to. Biggest trap ever set on my property was one of those over-sized snap traps for a rat.

Rice A Roni The San Francisco Treat!

I've been watching this. Call me crazy but it's making me more confident about tomorrow. I think we're ready to take that next step.

I'll be spending the morning and early afternoon shuttling the kids around, attending to the honey-do list and just trying to kill time before kickoff. After (and actually including) that my day looks like unbridled enthusiasm!! Go Bills!

In Sparano's case I think he had eyeball issues.

LOL. PC Richard is an appliance/electronics dealer in the tri-state area. Years ago my brother-in-law had Jets seasons and would take me to the Bills game. After every Jets first down they'd play the notes from the PC Richard jingle and I'd look at BIL and say, "I'm not sure why, but I feel like buying a refrigerator right about now".
