Why is everyone saying it has to be later in the season? 1980 against Miami was opening day that the goalposts came down ... If they come down, they come down because things are going well for the Bills & I would love for that to be the case.

Heard the ref's take on it from his press conference (didn't know they had press conferences too...) Carey said he was in his locker room when he was buzzed to look at the replay. Went back to the field and went under the hood and found the replay system not even on, had to wait for them to cue up the play ... And then discovered that the buzz from upstairs was a malfunction, there was really no call to review it.

You have to look back if you're making some incidental contact...face guarding has been gone for decades. But ... The CB did knock SJs helmet on the play before the ball arrived ...should have been a penalty.

When given a gift wrapped possession at the end of the game, how many yards did Sanchez give to his kicker to make it an easier kick? Sanchez did just like Romo I'm the 4th quarter and tried to give the game to the opponent. The ESPN rating system seems to function just fine.

GO BILLS!!! Biscuit was great, but no way in heck would a trade ever happen like that again. Nowadays you can get Pro Bowl players for a 3rd or 4th round pick and back in 1987 the Bills gave up 2 first round picks, a 2nd round pick and a Pro Bowl running back for Bennett-then had to pay half of Bell's salary the first year in order for the Rams to accept Bell (they wanted Ronnie Harmon). Bell was a malcontent and hardly no team in the league wanted anything to do with him, despite him making the Pro Bowl as a rookie. The Rams got 3 first round picks, 3 second round picks and some scrub for a running back who already had half a dozen seasons in the league. Check out the link for the below Los Angeles newspaper article where Bell has some not so kind words for our owner. Halloween Trade We should have given them Harmon ... Maybe then we would have been in 5 straight Super Bowls ...

I can't believe that we needed someone to produce a link for how many stadiums allow smoking for proof of that statement, but no one to this point has asked OC to backup his claim of 10s of thousands that smoke at each game. Does anyone reallybelieve that 1 in 7 smoke at every game? OC, you are making up a number to bolster you case ... A number that is absurdly high. I only bring it up because you continue to use it in your argument. It really isn't 10,000s of people who are thumbing their nose at the prohibition of smoking in the stands. It is a small handful. There's not even 10,000s of people who smoke in the stadium if you include the designated smoking areas along with those smoking in the stands. It's not even 1,000s ... More like a few hundred. Or I could use OC's method of determining a number and declare that there is no one smoking at a game ... But that would be incorrect and obvious to anyone who pays attention at a game.

+1 Thank you for a simple and true response containing no attacks on someone who is already riled up ... And to the ones who think that things like wanting to smoke more is a result of not winning ... watch an old Bills highlight reel and you'll see PLENTY of people smoking right in the stands ... even during the glory years.

no ... but can I beat RJ while we're here?

Emperor Palpatine?

It's just me, but I think they should eliminate touchbacks on kickoffs ... Most boring play in all of football

Doug is a good friend of mine ... I know many who love when he does it -- it's always about the country, not Doug (though he still does some things that identify his style, it's not about him).

would have liked to, but I was in the Bahamas all weekend ... sorry

We left that game early too ... my dad has never lived it down ... We were headed out toward Southwestern Blvd when we heard the roar & "here's the replay on the scoreboard ..." on that grainy amber screen ... good times. I have never left another game early ... I have never shut a game off on TV ...

That's what I did, took about 3 minutes to hover over each section and enter it into a calculator. I'm hoping that it's few enough for someone to swoop in and buy 'em ...

according to Ticketmaster ... I counted 2,418 tickets left for Sunday's game against the Pats* ... as of 2:15 Monday

The lateral was released on the 42 and hit Davis when he was on the 43 ... Should have been reversed as a forward lateral

The Rams game starts around 6:15 ... the winning kick & celebration around 8:00 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCmI-16HjiM

Leonard Smith ...

Or maybe they're saving touches for later in his career when he might have a line to run behind. No sense putting on mileage at this point ... Give him touches and get him acclimated tothe NFL.

as a Bills fan ... you never, ever hope for a 47 yard field goal on grass to win a game ...

when Spiller split out and the LB followed, I turned to my wife & said "Spiller deep for the TD" ... franchise QBs don't miss that one ... usually.

Don't forget the "Dead Patriot Laying Out of Bounds Thus Negating Recovery of Fumbles by Bills Rule" ... it goes for INTs as well. Boldin became an extension of the out of bounds line while touching Corner.

As I said in one of the other threads about the non-INT Another point that has been lost in all of this is the "Dead Patriot Laying Out of Bounds Thus Negating Recovery of Fumbles by Bills Rule" ... if Boldin is touching the white line in any way, while touching Corner (before Corner has established possession), then Corner is ruled out of bounds. I haven't gone back to look at the play, but by my recollection that is definitely a possibility. It doesn't matter if Corner's elbow came down in bounds ... he was on top of Boldin whose back was touching the white stripe ... Corner is thus ruled out of bounds

The closest that Jim came after '90 was in '91 ... week 15 he threw 3 ... first playoff game he threw 3 ... didn't play week 16
