From "the Campaign" "You were never there for me. This town was always there for me. (And by the way. i know when you were married to mama you were having an affair with the woman that looked like Dog the Bounty Hunter.) What you're doing is wrong, dead wrong!"

Kenny Davis will be filling in...

In Oz, it's Monday morning... I have to plan my work schedule as soon as the season is announced. West coast & late start games are the worse. Sat starts would suit me fine. Also, not sure of any relevance, but in the AFL- Melbourne had an orthodox Jewish president who famously didn't attend Saturday games as it was their Shabbat (spelling?), even if they were to make the Grand Final.

I get all my NE education re:refs from the Longest yard...

"Un-Australian". Would be a big one here, trotted out when something is done that we're informed, really shouldn't happen in Australia.

Looked an awful lot like Gilmore.

Gilmore really struggled late in the game. That hands in the face was a killer and then those sideline receptions.

Touche & Wow. What a draft... Add Shell in there too!

Bored... Is the '89 Cowboys the best single draft? Aikman, Wisniewski turned into Moose Johnston by trade, Tolbert, Stepnowski & a Steve Walsh. (They traded Walsh into Erik Williams and by extension Dixon Edwards the following year...)

Or Demetress...

Williams led the way & I kind of thought it was a blip on the radar, losing seasons, you know, the next guy will fix it. this is not real. Then Mularkey, mularkied & it fired me up, who walks on a 9-7 team... Questioning? Jauron appeared & I got mad at coaching, angry mad. Now, you know, I'm kinda m'eh. Are these the stages of depression or grief... then where am I?

I think late in the 4th or early 3rd on a Jackson run, LeVitre & Wood just smoked their men, made me go wow.

No suggestions we have an awful LBer coach or is it all Wanny? Are they told not to penetrate... ...

I figured if you've been sacked you've failed at your job, didn't meet expectations as outlined in your job description.. So, we have Chan- sacked by Dallas, GTech & at KC, Wanny- "resigned" from Phins, sacked Bears, "resigned" UPitt, Bob Sanders- "let go" by GBPackers... Who else on staff? Whilst we're at it, why the free pass on Giff and Sanders' coaching... Is ths an endless gravy train for coaches. While I'm at it, why the hiring of old college connections? Gailey and Wanny go way back. Wanny and Sanders go way back, Gailey hires Giff from his od college days... Does this make it hard for the HC to sack mates when they're under performing & why the merry-go-round for unsuccessful coach- at all levels. is it really "who you know" that keeps you employed?

The ROLB also ends up not setting an edge.

LeVitre- but I've become a LeVitre fan this season.

Maybe he's asking the LBers to fill the gap as well as any other teams backs (?) but then asks that at no point are they allowed past the line of scrimmage. Ever. Do not cross. The backs seem to come up from a deep set & literally just stop. Barnett came up on the 83 yard run and got stopped, turned from outside to inside & allowed that gap to open- no way if he penetrated through that that play goes 83. Oh, & I think they blitzed once last week- from memory. I think the most they've blitzed is maybe 5 times against Arizona. I saw Houston had blitzed 5 times in maybe the first 5 minutes last week...

How many sacks Houston D put up? They seem to stack the line & are content at sending more than 4 constantly. I think we Blitzed 5 time against Arizona in total (by he look of it, Wanny plays our LBers at 10deep, so they could have been blitzing, just taking their time), I've watched the 1st 1/2 & Houston blitzed more than 5 times in the 1st 1/4 alone. Fitz could be smashed this week.

Is Mario injured or not? If he's injured, why are we risking our $100m player on contributing further to that injury when 3 weeks of soft tissue work without ballistic activity, resting him, may heal it- alas I don't know the nature of the injury, just my humble med view. If Mario is injured & has reduced strength to disengage, why not put him in a 5 technique than the 4 & give him outside contain only rather than B gap & outside C gap? Makes no sense. Apologees, I'm from Melbourne Australia so my opinion counts the least, apparently. That said, pre kids, I've been to Buffalo every 3 years since 1996 for preseason and then when old enough to games. My sons called Thomas Thurman, my dog Jackson & everyone that knows me, knows about the Buffalo Bills- even my 90 year old patients. So put that in your pipe and tell me it doesn't count!

Bills- Since '85 O-fer, lost, you know the dates... Collingwood Magpies-Since the 70's- in my time lost the finals in 77, 79, 80 & 81 but won in 1990 & 2010! (Lost in 2002, 2003 & 2011)

Well done Kenny.

... In his 1st year Paup was named defensive player of the year.

Not mentioning LeVitre speaks volumes in the Kent Hull O-line recognition awards.

It's gotta be, what, at best a 50:50 each week? Well, it is better than tossing a coin...

It was a 1st down, but i have walleye!
