Hey, thanks man, that's really -- wait, what?

Love all the comments at the bottom of that story.

No kidding. It seemed like every downfield pass attempt by them was completely blanketed.

This puzzles me as well. Sure, the Redskins were hurting -- but then again, they were only hurting on offense. On defense, they had all 11 original starters playing, and their defense has been pretty darn good. And yet, even with all of our offensive injuries and position shifting, we still put up some impressive numbers, including points. I think I read that Fitzy's yards were the most against the Skins defense all year. Injuries weren't the reason Laron Landry missed his assignment and left Chandler open in the end zone. Injuries weren't the reason Freddie ran and caught the ball all over the place against them. By the way, one of the things that impressed me the most about that game was the sequence at the end of the first half. I was pissed when Fitz threw that pick in the end zone, but I actually had confidence that we would stop the Skins, force a punt, and still have enough time to get down the field for a FG try. And we did. To me, that was huge.

That's more like it.

Is this backwards?

I think it's hilarious that so many others do the same thing that I do. I actually almost posted the same thing a long time ago but never did. Honestly, I think he just relishes playing the role of the guy everyone loves to hate. At least Felser had perspective and insight. Nothing to Sully except wrath and bile.

:lol:

I like the way you think. Couldn't have said it better.

Most epic Fin thread ever. Great quote: "next man up to eat his meals through a straw this season..." Fin fans are really hurting this year. This. I don't think anyone believes JP has the brains and quick decision-making required in Gailey's (or anyone's, for that matter) offense.

That was an AWESOME article. The part about Pears's babysitter was hilarious.

/nightmares of John Beck throwing for 375 yards and no sacks against our defense...

So, so sad. I loved watching him play. I never knew anything about the center position until he came along and demonstrated how important it is. Sounds like a great person, too. RIP.

Scoring was down considerably this week, or so it seems. Only two teams (thus far) scored more than 30 points...Atlanta and Chicago (of all teams). Final scores all around looked much lower than they have been this season. Green Bay dominated but scored only 24. The Patriots had their 30+ point scoring streak stopped. Hell, even we managed to keep a team under 30 points (for the first time?). Is it defenses finally catching up to offenses? Or is it more likely injuries starting to take their toll? Aside from the obvious snafus that have been discussed ad nauseum, I think our offense had a pretty good day, all things considered. I certainly have concerns about our offense, but it's not like the rest of the league isn't having similar issues...

Hell yeah. Cheap? Maybe, but I'd buy that in a second.

How this is not the ultimate winner answer is beyond me.

People I know out here think Boise is the *****. And I mean that in a good way.

Sure, give me a PM if you're still interested. EDIT: Never mind...had them for sale on the BB.com web site and they just sold. Sorry about that.

You know, the Bills store at buffalobills.com does have some decent photos (+/- frames) for sale.

That's pretty remarkable when you consider another member of the same defense recorded 2 INTs in the game, one of which was returned for a TD. Wilson earned the defensive POW over that!

I watched it a couple of times and I was certain that Shep slipped when Vick started coming out of the backfield, and this is why he was out of position. Was I mistaken? It looked like he would have been in the right place had he not slipped.

Hey, we're not #31 in any polls right now. I'm good with that.

Awesome. Thanks as always, Bill. Fitzy's QB rating right now is 96.5. Love that guy. I'm just hoping the injuries don't start piling up. We're starting to drop, and it's worrying me.
