We in Daytona Beach get all Jax away games, so the game has to be on directtv or an international feed.

Did the players we lost actually make the other teams better. Jax is still losing, The Jets although they beat us are not world beaters this year. San Fran had a decent defense before, but now they are playing darn good offense. I don't think our 3 are making that big a difference. Poz is staying healthy, Whitner doesn't have to play a different position each week, but he is still not an impact player, and Maybin..............

I have to wonder if Fitz is suffering through a similar issue that romo had, that is playing hurt. Especially after the hit he took in the Redskins game. Perhaps he will be fully healthy and loose and light up miami as the Romo did to us.

I don't believe maybin has had an impact in the last two games, against us or the Pats. Yes he has made a few plays this year non of which were in crunch time or at a time when it made a definite impact on the game. And that can be said of many players in the NFL.

Thank you for the info.

We place a enormous amount of blame on Ref calls, but correct me please. Aren't they parttimers. By that unlike officials in other sports they are not solely employed year round by the NFL. They actually go their separate ways instead of viewing tape together throughout the week to improve their skills.

Don't forget the Vikings.

i hope he does give them the blueprint. They don't have the time nor players to implement it. Also, I believe when we see it again, we,l slice and dice it with the running game.

Good coaching with a week to prepare tweaking your execution should always land you on top. Jets had that. They out guessed our O by great disguise using a nickel back to defeat short routes while showing blitz, then dropping to into our routes. We had three critical points that cost the game IMO Fred's fumble and the two PI penalties. Not being argumentative, calls are calls. A better barometer will be in NY in three weeks, both teams with equal time to prepare.

not! Edwards DC would be brigadier general ** OC likewise. position coaches would be colonels and majors LOL!!!!

Real Solution. Move kickoff back to 30, but keep the five yard restriction on kicking team with respect to the line of scrimmage. Much more exciting less suicides.

Agreed in all, but the sack. That was Chandler's error. He should have blocked miller first before releasing. he did not recognize the blitz. i believe part of Bell's problem may also have been the changing of levitre and rhinehart @ LG. You need to know what your linemate is going to do. not enough time working with rhinehart. We will see next week. That to me will be key. I believe the starting lineup needs to be set at that time.

If it is vertical that is important, then Roscoe can run that route at least once or twice per game. Then if he is not picked up on double team he gets thrown to, otherwise "short" receivers are open. Yes, Evans was our speed guy, but he would have been more productive had he run crisp curls, slants and outs consistently. Obviously the staff didn't think he was and felt his "long" game wasn't enough.

In reading your response, I wonder if you were given the opportunity to study world and american history in school, or was it just another watered down curriculum that offered it as an elective. First. They were reading the "Declaration of Independence", the reasons for rebelling against England. It was not a document for establishing a nation. Second. Before the "Constitution" was the "Articles of Confederation", a document which loosely bound the individual colonies -which were in effect separate countries-. However, those colony/countries did in fact force religion upon any one who wished to settle within their borders. Third. The "Constitution" was drawn up after the "Articles" failed. This all happened well after the "Declaration" in 1776. The other documents came in 1783 and 1789. The main thrust of the "Constitution" was to create one nation with a weak non intrusive federal government. The 1st Amendment which was adaopted later was to protect your right to freely practice any religion you wish without the government telling which one, in addition to other rights. Finally. If a TV station wishes to air what it did, and you don't like it, you are free to mute or turn it off. That is your right.

Please elaborate. The NBA, MLB, and NHL each have drafts. minor sports may not, but the money there isn't even close to the major sports leagues.

Avoiding the hammering that we took from the jets and may take at seasons end, a comment was made during the Pats* game that drew my attention. The jets have been good enough to beat teams with losing records, but not good enough to beat teams with winning records. Against teams with WR - 1 - 3. Against teams with LR - 7 - 0. Against team with ER(mia) 1 - 0. Their final games are against Mia (6-6), Pitt (9-3), Chi (9-3), Buf (2-10). It's possible that if they lose to the next three teams they're season may or may not hinge on the buffalo game. That would be sweet imho.

Talent is the issue as well as familiarity with the system. A.) System - 1.) offense began to jell after game 3 and coincidently with change of QB's. 2.) defense began getting it in game 9. players began reacting to the situations, instead of thinking, reading, then reacting. B.) Talent - 1. Rookie linemen (Carrington and Troup) have taken longer than we expected to learn the system, but appear to be coming on. We'll be able to evaluate their skill level over the next 5 games. 2.) We need LB's desperately. Poz at his point, IMHO, is the only one with true talent (it can be argued how much, but nonetheless the only one IMO). As to the other teams in our division and their relative position vis-a-vis Buffalo. The Dolphins and Patriots are both close to us in points allowed and yards given up per game. Where we have been lacking is turnovers. Not being in reactive mode much of the season teams have been able to protect the football against us, until recently. Therefore it is my belief that an infusion of Talent will propel this team upwards in the coming seasons.

I don't believe Merriman was picked up for this year. After the season his health will be evaluated and he will be offered an incentivized contract imho. His cost was minimal then and would be minimal again.

Reminds me of John Brody - SF 49ers late 1960's. His career began blossoming just as the 9er's drafted George Mira, the hot QB out of Univ of Miami.

We also went to two overtimes and lost by 3 to playoff contenders. I remember CG saying it may take 3, 5, or 8 games to get it. It looks like it took 5 for offense and maybe we got it at 8 for the defense. This could be a very defining game this week. We're not going to be a playoff player this year, but wins over contenders in the remaining games will make our drafting and positioning of free agents much clearer.

KC defense = 3.8 ypr 89 ypg Chi defense = 3.5 ypr 83 ypg So, do you actually believe it is just Freddy and our rushing offense?

Correction,everyone else was tackling his mistakes. Every long outside run went over his side.

Brian Bosworth anybody?

Bottoming out, yes a good thing, but Ralph is not canning anyone this year. These guys were brought in with the expectation that we would not make the playoffs this year. A plan was presented and accepted.

Hey Jimmy, i gots to tell you man. The numba is 1600. In fact I was really pissed cause I only gots 1392. I couldn't find the peoples who did the gradin' so's we could talk. But what the hey, I still wound up with a nice gig anyhows.
