Ozymandius

he's the best receiver in the league and he proved it tonight

yes, the league is diluted when compared to the 70's... but someone's gotta win the title... how come no one else can win as consistently they deserve all the credit in the world

btw, i don't think they give a sh-- whether anyone believes they have a dynasty... they'll just comfort themselves by hugging their 3 trophies if we don't

They are a dynasty. It's definitional. 3 championships = a dynasty.

hit S while you're playing... that gets you the sound

if Brady's cap number is a problem, they'll give him a new signing bonus (aka restructuring), boom, it's done

Sproles is a playmaker, anyone who adds Sproles to their team adds a playmaker. It's just that the Bills are a poor fit. We have playmakers already to return kicks and we have a small third downer. The benefit of drafting him wouldn't be high enough IMO.

did you bet on the o/u? I'm still surprised that the majority of bets have been placed on the over of 47/48.... this should be a defensive game. Even if the Patriots blow out the Eagles, it'll be because Corey Dillon ran the ball 30 times down their throat, killing the clock and shortening the game. The under seems like easy money to me.

Bo was great, of course, especially in the playoffs when all your opposing running backs seemed to get a speed boost and you couldn't catch them from behind. But I was also very afraid of Christian Okoye because I usually tried to play with the bad teams like Indy and New England and their defenses had low hitting power. So a RB like Okoye with high hitting power would just run over my defenders if I couldn't personally get there in time to make a play.

up up down down left right left right b a start was 30 lives

Hall of fame? ha ha -->I<-- am a better QB than Drew Bledsoe. You might think I'm kidding but I'm not. I really believe this. I mean, I may have been third string in high school, but I could always throw the short passes with touch I thought. And with better accuracy than Drew for sure. Let's say the Bills are down by two and need to drive for the win. With Drew at the helm, he's doomed to get sacked and fumble or, if we're lucky, just sacked or he throws 4 straight incompletions (maybe the 4th one is picked off). Put me at the helm and run a couple of screens. I promise I'll get the ball off in time and with the proper arc, direction, and touch. We probably wouldn't score, of course, after all I'm a security analyst, not a QB. But I do think I'd move the ball a bit better than Drew. But that's just me.

Safin is the only guy on the tour that has close to the natural talents that Federer possesses (yes, even more than Roddick, who is just a basher without as much of the finesse). If Safin can become consistent, we finally have a tennis rivalry.

Beating Tyson was pretty much luck because unlike all the other boxers, he only had one discernible pattern. Most of his punches were thrown randomly. Even the very best players couldn't beat Tyson every time out because of this.

One other thing about Nugent that I haven't seen mentioned yet is that he was the first kicker at Ohio State to ever be named team MVP (I suspect that would also be true of many schools). Usually the team MVP is something voted on by teammates and coaches. Think about how good this guy really must be to be that respected. He's a freaking kicker. That's the difference between Nugent and Janikowski. The latter had the leg but everyone knew he was a knucklehead in college. There's always a huge bust potential when a player isn't as dedicated as he could be. Nugent, in addition to the leg, is accurate, a good guy in the locker room, and routinely kicked in cold weather in low scoring, high pressure, smashmouth Big 10 football games.

Was the fact that these teams attained great kickers without using a draft pick the result of them doing their homework, though, or was it luck? I say it's luck. If New England or anyone really knew how good Viniatieri was when he came out of school, there's no way they wouldn't have spent a draft pick on him. We can't count on being as lucky. For one thing, we're the Buffalo Bills. We are not going to get that lucky. Let's take the sure thing (or as sure as a kicker out of college has ever been).

I want to be able to watch a Bills game and not have negative thoughts about the kicker six or eight times a game. Every time we put together a good drive into enemy territory, I always find myself thinking, "gosh, I hope we score a TD, but if not, we better !@#$ing get closer than this because Lindell will miss otherwise." Every time we kick off, I think to myself, "okay here comes the short kick, no chance at a touchback, hope they don't bust one." I live in constant fear as a football fan because of this incompetent kicker. Rian Lindell, I hate your assface.

Or do we try not to be idiotic and respect locker room chemistry and not ridiculously cut one of our leaders?

You're right that the team has potential. But at the same time, you're being far too kind to TD. If they miss the playoffs next year, it's 5 straight. How can anyone miss the playoffs 5 straight year given today's parity in the NFL?

Exactly. Second half of the season we beat up on bad teams and failed our only true test. We became the kind of team I hate the most, one that picks on the scrubs but will come up short against good teams. I'd rather root for an 0-16 team than a bunch of choker sissies and that's what this team was. Drew was a huge part of that.

that's mean

btw, I think the best bet so far for game is the under... it started at 47 and it's getting bet UP

the line is already 7... it started 6/6.5... it's going to stay at 7 until the final days leading up to the game and then it's probably going to go to 7.5/8... that's my prediction

I'm not going to play a rigged game... how 'bout you list the games that Manning, Vick, etc have won by themselves first? What does that even mean? Did they throw the ball to themselves?

this hurts the Eagles a lot... how the hell are the Eagles going to score on the Patriots

care to expand on what Brady can't do? the only system Brady might not succeed in is a college option running system... Vick and Culpepper might be better in those systems
