While Saban is a great college coach, and could become a good NFL coach, in recent years college coaches have bombed in the NFL. He is the type of unproven coach that could set them back a few more years. Anybody know if Saban has any NFL experience? I know he coached at LSU and MSU but thats the extent of my knowledge.

From this weeks press conference with Marvin Lewis Q: Your thoughts on Buffalo this week? ML: Buffalo is playing very well right now. Offensively with Willis McGahee, their receivers, Peerless Price, and Lee Evans and the quarterback, they are playing very well. Defensively, they are getting after teams. I saw that big Sam Adams had a couple sacks yesterday. Their special teams have returned a couple of kicks in the last few weeks. I think they are the leading special teams unit in the NFL right now. It is a great challenge, and it is going to be a lot of fun. This is a great opportunity.

Cool, thanks

I took a picture of TKO and put him in a cheetah fur coat, gave him Mr T chains, and put a crown on him. He looks like a cross between a pimp and a king from the 80's.

Still doesn't work

I try and update my avatar, it says avatar updated then it goes back to the screen and the pictures not their. Whats the deal?

Lets hope that holds true the next 3 weeks

Very true

Touch yourself, better yet get a woman to do it for you. I promise positive results.

Doesn't impress me in the looks department. That said if you could getherdone it would be a hell of a story.

Ya but I just went to school in Kalamazoo, decided to stay. Suburban Detroit is way to populated for my tastes. Plus I couldn't afford it right now even if I wanted to move back.

Hey Pete, what part of Michigan do you live in? I was born and raised in Livonia, now live in Kalamazoo.

I meant to say he had borderline Olympic speed, but your right about 100 meter times. As for the conflicting reports its because he ran the 4.19 at his personal workouts at Florida State. Optimal conditions/wind aided etc. The 4.29 was run at the NFL combine and is still the fastest time ever recorded for that event.

Many athletes with 4.2 speed can train in that consistency over 100 meters. My point was that a 4.2 40 is incredibly rare yet a bunch of high school football coaches have these kids believe they actually run that fast. Another fact to further prove how amazing a 4.2 40 is. Ben Johnson was widely recognized as one of the fastest starters in Olympic history. In the 1988 Seoul Olympics Johnson ran a world record 9.79 100 meter dash. The time was disallowed shortly after when he tested positive for steroids. You know how fast he ran the first 40 yards in for that race? 4.26

He also picked Drew at QB last week

4.2? Not to be a prick but unless you run a low 10 second 100 you don't run a 4.2. In fact Deon Sanders set the record at the combine running a 4.29. Anything in that range is world class speed, if you truly got it then congrats. Most football/track coaches don't know how to take accurate 40 times, and unless its done electronically odds are the times are bogus. Consider this, like I said Deon Sanders has the fastest 40 in combine history at 4.29. What does he run in the 100? 10.26. Sanders could have been a borderline Olympian. So if you are faster then prime time I recommend you start training for the Olympics.

In my mind they all blended together into one incredible play. Hard to distinguish one return from another, they were all so fun to watch. I could have taken away the Moulds catch from the Baltimore game but IMO it was one of the finest of his career. Just because it didn't impact the game doesn't make it any less spectacular.

Willis is not yet 100%, so yes he could gain some additional speed. But please remember that he will never appear to be very fast. Flat footed runners have sneaky speed, they take long slower strides. The slower stride part is why they appear to be slow, but in reality they make up for this by covering more ground per stride. One more note about flat footed runners. One other famous flat footed RB comes to mind, Gale Sayers. He is also a great example of how running flat footed can be a huge advantage in inclement weather. Sayers once put up 6 TD's in a rainy game against the 49ers. If you watch the highlights he appears to be running on a dry field while everybody else can't even stand up. As the Sayers example shows running flat footed allows you to have more traction in bad weather. The reasoning is simple, if you run flat footed more of your foots surface area is touching the ground. This provides the additional traction a toe runner would not have.

These are the plays that come to mind, I'm sure their are more so feel free to comment if the play is not listed.

I had the Ravens at 10/10 and the Broncos at 9/10 like you posted. As for the lower mark for the Jaguars game I feel that they still stand a chance to lose against Houston or Oakland. They got their first big win of the year against a putrid Chicago team. They play every game close, and have pulled of some miracle wins all year long. Houston definitely has a chance to beat Jacksonville.

I would agree on those predictions, I also think Seattle has a chance against the Jets. If they can stop the run it could be a interesting game especially after a confidence building road win yesterday at Minnesota. I'm feeling a little uneasy about the Green Bay game only because of the dominance shown by the AFC this year. That said Green Bay is still a very difficult place to win at in December.

Conference tiebreakers don't apply within the division, in division play the playoff tiebreakers go like this. 1. Head to Head 2. Division Record 3. Common Games Since we split the series with the Jets move onto tie breaker #2. If the Jets get beat by New England they will be 3-3 in the division and tied with us, move on to scenario #3. We hold the common games tiebreaker over the Jets if we win out, so if the Jets lose to the Patriots and lose either the Seattle or St Louis game we will pass them.

Next Sunday is a huge week for us, not only do we have a very difficult game at Cincinnati, but nearly every team ahead of us has a difficult game. We still need to take care of our end and catch some breaks, the problem is the amount of games on the schedule is dwindling and we need the other contenders to lose now. Win or lose, we will know next weekend if we have a shot at this thing. Here is a quick review of next weeks action and why each game is so important Buffalo at Cincinnati 1:00pm- 10/10 on the importance meter, again we need to get to 10-6, the path to that record leads directly threw a talented Cincinnati team. It should be the last major hurdle until the final week. Baltimore at Indianapolis 8:30pm- 10/10 on the importance meter, we need two Baltimore losses with three to play. Their other opponents include a suddenly vunerable Steelers team and a feisty Miami squad. Don't count on Feeley being able to lead the fish to victory against this Baltimore defense. A Baltimore win in this game and you can pretty rule out us passing them. Seattle at Jets 1:00pm- 10/10 on the importance meter, while my rating may seem high consider this. If the Jets lose this game they must win their final two against New England and the Rams, a loss to Seattle virtually guarantees us passing them. With the uncertainty of the other contenders this could be the most likely back door way into the playoffs. Denver at KC 1:00pm- 9/10 on the importance meter, Denver plays KC, Titans, and finishes with the Colts. We need two losses from those games and with the uncertainty surrounding the Colt starters in the final week this game becomes a must lose in our book. It is very possible that Denver could lose to the Titans, but needing them to finish the season with consecutive losses is difficult to envision. Jacksonville at Green Bay 4:15pm- 8/10 on the importance meter, Jacksonville needs one more loss and after Green Bay they have games against Houston, and Oakland. Obviously Lambeau in the winter is their most difficult remaining game. For awhile we excluded Jacksonville from the must lose category but time is running out. We can't bet on a roller coaster Houston team, or a mediocre Oakland team to get the job done. As you can see we should have a good idea of our chances after next weekend.

I posted the link, got it from my roomate, next time I see him I will post it again.
