Wonder if we're taking a page out of Belechick's playbook with Vernon and Jaquan? Stay home if you're sick (and so we do t have to test ya).

Kyle's a life long Bears fan. He gave it to his team this week. It's one of the few bright spots of their whole season. That's fine.

It's been reported by multiple sources, Star has returned to the team today.

Also Star is back at practice:

Feleciano can obviously play C too. So having him as the depth piece provides good flexibility on the interior.

His father's name, for real, is Norman.

There's plenty of very good interior OL in the NFL right around 300lbs. Jason Kelce was 280 at the combine. He's never been over 300lbs. Both staring OG's for Tampa are under 310. Being 305 is totally fine for an OG who can run a 5.0 40.

The knock on him was that he didn't have the length to play OT, and wasn't broad enough to play inside. He was noted for solid pass protection, but lacking power in the run game. He was projected as an emergency swing tackle.

Bates is the quickest and most athletic lineman we have, next to Spencer Brown. And it was noticable against the Pats. He was flying around... In fact, he kind of reminds me of the type of lineman the Pats always seem to find at the end of the draft or as an UDFA, who ends up starting for them for years... I imagine we'll get Ford back before Feleciano... What will Sean do?

Wow, reading up on Madden. Coached the Raiders for 10 seasons and never had a losing record. Made the playoffs 8 times. They played in the AFC Championship game 7 freaking times in 10 years. While losing 6 championship games, they won the Super Bowl in their lone appearance. Madden's only playoff loss outside of a Conference championship came against the Steelers on Franco Harris's Immaculate reception. That's one hell of a career.

Jerry?

He owns us all the way to the Niagra Gazette. Just as much as he owns Poyer and Hyde.

It's a playoff game for us.

Or I'm busting his chops.

My guess has been that he knew there were strong opinions against it in the locker room, and he chose to answer in a way to keep team unity.

Nope, those applied to everyone, just like these do.

So what you meant to say was if the Bills beat the Falcons and lose to the Jets, there's a 100% chance that there's at most a 3% chance of the Bills missing the playoffs?

He taught English, not math. Cut the man some slack.

Our playoffs started last week.

Jerry Sullivan taking credit for the Bills victory over NE is like crotch itch taking credit for the birth of your child.

Oh absolutely. The past is always predicative of the future... The funny thing is, I had remembered Scott Chandler's fumble in OT happening "with the playoffs on the line." When I looked it up, a win would have made us 5-7 at that point. My oh my have things changed.

The last time the Bills played the Falcons "at home," an OT loss mathematically eliminated the Bills from the playoffs.

Why am I not surprised that one of the few posters who has Sully on a pedestal has named himself after the white Bronco chase?

Jerry Sullivan's as hard as a Q-tip. Not the stick part.
