My jaw dropped when BDDB took off. Saints preserve us...the Statue MOVED!

That's easy. Stop Dillon. Pittsburgh squashed the Pats' run game and made Marcia try to beat the Stillers by herself. Bills did a decent job containing Curtis Martin Sunday...Moss made mincemeat of McGee, though and have to think Marcia's licking her chops at doing the same with whichever Pat WR draws that matchup.

Moorman showed once again why he's one of the elite punters in the league. The punter from DC had a heck of a game as well at Daytwah, with three punts downed inside the 5.

...Bills have eaten the donut so far on the road this fall. Not good, folks. Gotta win on the road to make any headway. Oh but to have had those Faider & (1st) D-A Jet games back.

...that was one of the better games the Bills have played in a long time. But they have to build on it. Especially after the hole they've dug. Can they get to level? Some real toughies on the way in the second half, starting Sunday in Foxhole where the Bills have long had problems.

...I would hope that our MM is a LOT smarter than St. Looie's MM. At times, Martz is as dumb as a box of rocks.

...JACKED UP! Number 1 this week on ESPN's MNF Countdown courtesy of the Dog-Ass Jets' Mr. Jordan.

...I shudder to think what Big Ben & Co. will do to the Bills in the closer January 2. The Stillers are playing so well on both sides of the ball, it's scary.

Congrats, Phil! An honor well-deserved! What a great player he was at NDSU. And certainly one of the most unheralded linemen in Bills history. Pretty select company. Andre Reed was inducted in 2002. PHIL HANSEN TO BE INDUCTED INTO DIVISION II HALL OF FAME IN DECEMBER FLORENCE, Ala. -- One of the all-time greats of NCAA Division II football who helped lead his school to two National Championships at Florence's Braly Stadium , will be honored on December 10 as the fourteenth inductee into the Division II Football Hall of Fame in Florence, Ala. Former North Dakota State University defensive lineman Phil Hansen, who went on to play 11 seasons in the National Football League with the Buffalo Bills, will be the lone inductee for 2004 into the Division II Football Hall of Fame.

Quarterback Scott Brunner of Delaware, receiver Andre Reed of Kutztown and linebacker Jessie Tuggle of Valdosta State comprised the 2002 class.

Hansen was the anchor of a solid defensive unit at North Dakota State for three seasons and was a two-time first-team All-American pick. He tied a school record for career quarterback sacks with 41 in regular season play and set a school mark with 32 career pass break-ups. He started on NCAA Division II National Championship teams in 1988 and 1990 and was twice named All-North Central Conference and Most Valuable Player in the league. He played in three All-Star games following his college career including the East-West Shrine, the Blue-Gray, and the All-American Classic. He was also the top vote-getter on the defensive line on the NCAA Division II "Team of the Quarter Century". A second round draft pick by the Buffalo Bills, Hansen was a starter for the Bills beginning early in his rookie season. He played on three Super Bowl teams with the Bills, was a member of the NFL All-Rookie team in 1991, and was first or second in sacks with the Bills for several seasons. His 11-year NFL career included playing in 156 games with 149 starts. He made 870 total tackles with 597 solo and 273 assists.

...if Indy & Jax aren't careful, Houston could be a PROBLEM for those two teams in the division chase. The Texans are finally starting to "get it" and will be a handful for many foes left on their schedule.

Good. Let those wagoneers slink under their manhole covers. Two of the funniest guys on the sidelines are right there in your home state: Chucky and Wanny. Their expressions are MasterCard PRICELESS!

...ELECT BRIAN MOORMAN TO THE PRO BOWL! A 44-yard average Sunday? In those conditions? How in the world did he pull that off? Those of you at the game pls fill me in. That is remarkable.

...not even B/W pix in the Sentinel? All text?

The DolFelons essentially quit last night. In front of a national TV audience, no less. The Bills are in doo-doo, the DolFelons are in train-wreck mode.

Russ has gotta have his whiteboard and magic markers ready to roll tomorrow night. Was a highlight of the '00 election coverage.

Going to be great? Big Ben already IS. Best rookie QB I've seen since Danny Boy.

...gonna be one bodacious week in these parts. That will be a great matchup Sunday at "The Mustard". Big Ben & Duce vs. McNabb & TO. Two strong teams in what could be a SB preview. Told ya the Stillers could pull it off Sunday. They made Brady look Bledsoeish at times. Pats were ripe to be had. Still, can't take away a remarkable record win streak of theirs.

Oh yeah, TO got a 2nd half TD and did a reasonable facsimile of RL's dance. RL was not impressed. Iggles were no great shakes today offensively but that was bound to happen. But their defense played very well. They're a solid team, built to go the Roman numeral dance.

...they're rested, they're at home, and they're primed. If Big Ben doesn't try to do it all by himself, the Stinkly Little Steelers have a great chance to end NE's streak. We'll see.

...Ravens are very much like the Bills, offensively challenged. Were it not for BDDB, that was eminently winnable. Of course, so too were games 1, 2 & 4.

Holy Cow! A 21-POINT QUARTER? Until today, we haven't seen a 21-point GAME from these guys. Unreal.

I'd never thought I'd see it this season. Especially after that stinking clunker in Baltimore last week.

A better way to stick it the Yanks... "Year Two-Thousand" (clap, clap, clap-clap-clap)...

...yes, Yankee fans, it will get worse. Come mid-April of 2005, the Red Sox will receive their world championship rings and hoist the flag at Fenway. Which opponents will be there to watch it all in person? You guessed it...

...because they've all died and gone to baseball heaven. Congratulations, Red Sox, for ending 86 years of heartbreak and frustration. What a monster trio of pitching performances by Schilling, Pedro & Lowe (the latter the first in MLB history to win the clinching game in the same year in the LDS, LCS & WS). Eight postseason wins in a row...after down 0-3 in the ALCS trailing by a run in the 9th with Rivera on the mound and three outs from extinction. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? They simply obliterated and demoralized a Cardinals team that seemed indomitable at times this season. Just totally shut down those bats after Game 1. Starters & bullpen alike. If only us Bills fans could JUST ONCE have the feeling Red Sox fans are having right now all over New England. JUST ONCE. JUST ONE SUPER BOWL WIN BY THE BILLS BEFORE I LEAVE THIS PLANET IS ALL I ASK. Now that The Curse of the Bambino has been broken forever, that's one down and two to go. Next: The Bills' Curse of Wide Right, and the Cubs' Curse of the Goat. Obviously, there will be no parade in Buffalo anytime soon. But we can all dare to dream, can't we? Somebody up there owes us something for all the pain and frustration we've endured through 40-some years of Bills football and 25-plus years of Swordsmen hockey. JUST ONCE.
