I thought that if an OT went down with an injury, Jason Peters' name would be the first to pop up as an alternate in the Probowl. Jonathan Ogden is a scratch, so the league calls up the Patriots Matt Light?!?! He does more holding than a dance couple! After all of the All Pro lists and considerations that I have seen Peters' name on, why was he snubbed? Matt Light can't touch Jason Peters...

I would ask any of the players: if you were coach of the Bears this season, at what point would you have replaced Rex?? ...you guys know how the media tries to divide teams.

Whats the score? Who stood out besides Leonard?

Taken from Profootball Weekly, so who knows what its worth - Following on the heels of some uncomplimentary comments about Buffalo in an interview in the current issue of Penthouse magazine, and the news that McGahee has fathered three children with three different women in the past two years, it appears as if RB Willis McGahee has further alienated a Bills brain trust that places a big emphasis on high character and morals. Add in the fact that agent Drew Rosenhaus has mentioned the desire to extend McGahee’s deal, which expires following the 2007 season, and word is the Bills are going to make addressing their RB situation a top priority this offseason. We hear the Bills are not likely to shop McGahee but that they would consider a trade offer if it were proposed to them. To give up McGahee, Buffalo would expect a first-round pick plus one of the following: a player, a late-round draft pick this year or a future draft pick. Rumors

I don't understand why everyone is sooo enamored with Cato June, sure he has above average pass coverage capabilities, but he's an absolute liability in the run game. Toooo many missed tackles and too often caught out of position.

I'd still pick the best ILB (P. Willis) over Branch if the two were both available when we pick. LBs are more versatile, I'd rather have a Ray Lewis per se, than a Marcus Stroud. If the draft started tomorrow, our top needs in order of importance are: 1) OG 2) ILB and 3) DT

Thanks Jokeman, cleared that one up...

The conclusion of the Jets/Pats half had me thinking about this... The Jet player was running on the field and trying to get as many yards as possible before the conclusion of the half. Now, if it was obvious that a player would not be able to get out of bounds before the clock expires, could that player purposely lateral the ball out of bounds before time expires in a half, thus stopping the clock? Anyone know the particulars on this one?

13th if Green Bay loses, 12th if they win...

Another point to make... I wonder what our red zone TD% is after the Houston game vs before the game. When the Bills used to get into the red zone, scoring a TD was rare (overachieving almost), now, I expect them to score a TD whenever they get down there! Talk about change of mindsets, even down to the fans!

Obviously, the first would have to be the OLine shakeup after the bye week, but the other??? I think we all need to send XMas cards to the Houston Texan's organization for deciding to pass the ball on 3rd and 2. Nevermind the fact that they were running all over us that game with some guy named Lundy, but enabling us to stop the clock (with that incomplete pass) and subsequently produce a game winning drive, has changed this team's confidence level - starting with the guy who produced the drive - JP Losman.

Tell him how much you like him yourself... Robert Royal

I guess I need to watch their entire drive as opposed to the last 4 plays before posting huh?

Playcalling... yes he was getting rid of his passes quicker, but there was also never a DL/LB/DB in his face gettin ready to sack him either. On another note, did you see how AZ Oline was blowing CHI off the ball? Wow...

ha, just posted the same thing, 2 secs ago

7 out of 8 "experts" pick a winless team to win their upcoming NFL game... Thoughts? ESPN "Expert" Picks

Im sorry I may be mistaken, but I thought that there were other games this Sunday other than the TO's and Eagles?! 20 min into that show and all I've heard is TO this and TO that... this show sucks!! By the way, Mort read off some news and mentioned a few WRs, at the conclusion of this news his statement, "So there you go, news about wide receiver's without one mention of 'you know who'." Im thinkin, well you just mentioned that you didnt mention him, therefore mentioning him, right?

Maybe this one - WGRF

Somebody posted this site last game and it worked, Im going to see if I can find a station carrying the game - http://www.thegamelive.com/footballnfl.html

Anyone out there want to try and compute where this loss puts us before CBS does?

sooo many horrible teams!

I hear we are going to hit close to $3.00 a gallon by the summer. Want gasoline prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united action. Phillip Hollsworth, offered this good idea: This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy gas on a certain day" campaign that was going around last April or May! The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work. Please read it and join with us! By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.50 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $2.75 for regular unleaded in my town. Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50-$1.75, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace.... not sellers. With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action. The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas. But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price war. Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON"T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL. If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit. But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to do!! Now, don't whimp (sic) out on me at this point.. keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!! I am sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) ... and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers! If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it...... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!! Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people and DON"T purchase ANY gasoline from EXXON and MOBIL. That's all. How long would all that take? If each of us sends this email out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!! I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential, did you! Acting together we can make a difference. If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on. PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK

Did any of you happen to catch one of the plays that the Mean Machine ran? Straight outta the Buffalo Bills' playbook... Fake QB sneak with a lateral back to the running back, a la the Seattle game.

Thanks Rayzer, good luck with yours too! Humans should have been made more durable!

I hurt my lower back on Wed (18th) and suspect that it might be a minor disc bulge problem. I have had a bulged disc in the past and I know how that feels (extremely painful)! However, this problem does not keep me from walking normal nor does it hurt that much to run or jump after the lumbar is warmed up. Also this time I did not feel a small *pop* in my lower back, just knew that I landed on it wrong (doing explosive workout combined with weights). It does give a sharp pain periodically but again, not as painful as the previous bulged disc. Could it be that the disc just got squished but is not necessarily bulging out? What is the timetable on a return from this problem (I'm a pretty fast healer). Was almost done with a 12 week vertical jumping program (horrible timing). Thanks for all of the input in advance.
