No, the point is their line usually sucks, it doesn't tonight and that's adding to Leinart having a good game... That said the guy is a *solid* QB and it would be interesting to see what he would do with our team around him.

Arizona's bad line has given up 0 sacks to the best D in the league... Oh and their D is ON FIRE! For reals.

Looked good on that TD. But WAIT on the replay - I saw him pat the ball twice! Doooooomed!

OK, I forgot the little known Gandy clause. Though Terrance could have used a little help (like maybe another 2' in height)... See - Arizona's D is on fire!

I *knew* this thread would be here... He is playing good, but the difference is the entire team is playing well! The recievers are making cuts and the D is playing up too. And as I type there's a maybe pick. Point is, this is football, its rarely ONE guys fault when a team loses.

I just clicked on CNN and saw the big snow story... Funny, I live further north and further east and it's sunny and semi-nice out today!

I went 13 and 1 in our office pool and lost on the tie-breaker. I suck.

Too perfect - Chad Johnson looking for TD dances talks to Stewart Scott. The death of a catchphrase ensues...

Nice and TO is running around on the sideline swearing about not getting the ball. Goooooo Dallas!

And hey, the Jets got pounded worse than us AND the Dolphins lost too...

And Drew being Drew in the clutch... Two crazy sacks, a long bomb then a pick returned for a TD. Dallas you and TO SUCK!!

He ended Meet the Press with "Go Bills, beat the Bears!" Gotta love that guy. Can someone please fast forward time to 1:00 now..

Did anyone catch "Dolemite Jenkins" on NFL Network last night? Another classic from Portis... Here's a choppy vid of Dolemite in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rh67e2NQab8

CUT COY WIRE!!

They mentioned the other day that he's on every Thursday, I wonder if he's on around 3 each week? If only they streamed the NFL channel through the Intertubes like they do Stern...

Interesting that they just announced the Bowen has a break, not a bruise... They're playing some games there at OBD.

The team showed a lot of heart today! Hopefully this lesson in how to hang on and win in the end will serve us well in the future...

WOW that was WAAAAAAY too close! What a good game...

Holy big nuts!!!

For those of you looking for a link 1) the news came via text and 2) http://www.buffalobills.com/ are you really that lazy?

Love the headline: "T.O. tried suicide, report says" Tried it, but didn't like it? I feel like the Star-Telegram has their Jump To Conclusions mat out...

Hammer - clearly your old school! I know your place has a grass lot and I think that's part of the beauty of the The Ralph, the fact that the parking isn't downtown next to some highway. You seriously don't know Sully? he is your neighbor down the road... As for the ribbon board, I'd love to see more scores from other games and stats from the one going on. Didn't know about the Blue Zone, it was just a first example that came to mind when thinking "local Buffalo marketing partners" In the end, with the way the WNY economy works I'm sure neither of us will have to worry too much about seeing any large-scale changes to the old Ralph! I guess the bottom line is that as long as they keep the team there, I'll be a happy camper!

I've been to a few different stadiums (most recently Gillette last year and Quest field this year, though there was no game going on) and while The Ralph has it's charms it's a decidedly old school stadium... Personally I love the wide open concorses and spaces in most of the new modern stadiums - they just beat the cinder block halls of the Ralph. In the $20MM article they talk about potentially using some to upgrade the Jumbotron and add some "ribbon" scoreboars around the side of the stadium. The ribbon boards alone would make the place look and feel a lot more modern, plus they would have more room to show scores from other games... It's interesting that the marketing department always talks about the difficulty of striking deals, but there seems to be so many opportunities in the food and beverage category. Why not tap Labbat and create the "Blue Zone" - pain the hall blue, add tables and food, TV's showing other games around the league. Or how about taking advantage of the local cusine - a Beef on Weck joint, and Anchor Bar outpost, perogies. Naturally it's still my favorite place to see a game (where else can you tailgate on a *grass* field - thanks Sully), but the old place could use some updating. Hopefully some Buffalo teenager will come up with the next Facebook (which Yahoo! may buy for 1 BILLION dollars; Scott get on the phones TBD is worth at least that!), buy the Bills and put up a new stadium right downtown! I'll be moving to downtown when that happens!

No link to any vids, but I DO have a link to this gem of a letter from Joey Porter's Pit Bull to the horse it killed (warning, lotsa swearing in this one): http://www.themightymjd.com/2006/09/21/a-l...rters-pit-bull/
