Time to sign the punt God back!

Maybe Moorman will come out of retirement.

Got to give one to Belichick.  His defenses always come to play.  Now...go play somewhere else!

You'd think, after all this time in the AFCE, we would have figured out how to combat it (along with other division teams).  Hopefully he goes to the NFC.  He's good.

[Week 17 - Cheats v. Bills - PREDICT THE SCORE]

Bills 20

Belicheat 19

 

Just feel that the cheatriots get a bunch of FG's coupled with one TD because of a turnover deep in the zone.  Bills are down in the 4th but get a FG mid-way through and the defense holds for two drives.  Hopefully I'm wrong and it's a blowout, but nearly 50 years of disappointment is what it is.

 

At least they're not the Sabres.

[Browns/Texans: WR neutral zone offside]

Don't see it posted here, but in the Browns/Texans game, Robert Woods was flagged for being lined up in the neutral zone.

 

Funny how the game went on without any drama.

I wish I had a mute button for Collinsworth.

I was watching that part of the game without sound, and it didn't look like an in-bounds catch to me (spectacular, but not in bounds)...but they kept replaying it over and over, like there was a chance it was...? Can someone explain that? It didn't look close to me.

 

Romo had his finger on the replay button.

 

[ESPN insider article predicting QB performance for each game]

How about only TWO 300 yard passing games from ALL QBs for the season?  No 4 TD games and none under 200 yards.

 

Utter rubbish even if it is simulated.  How does that even count for journalism?  Must be nice to click a button, copy/paste, and collect a paycheck.

Hmmm...makes me wonder.  Do governments in other countries pay for stadiums for things like soccer, hockey. cricket, etc?  That would be interesting to know.

 

Don't other businesses get public funding to build things like factories, restaurants, hotels?  I know a small town in upstate NY where I lived got $10m for "downtown revitalization".  That means taxpayer money went into renovating or building places for private companies.  The only difference I see is the huge difference in money involved.

 

Factories, restaurants, and hotels make money every day and contribute.  Given the weather in Buffalo, no dome, and a location in Orchard Park, it will only be used for 8-12 football games a year, a few summer events, and maybe a hockey game.  Otherwise, it's sitting and doing nothing for $1B because the league wants a new stadium.
