  1. "As Buffalo Bills rookie safety Donte Whitner sat at his locker Sunday following his team's impressive 16-6 road victory over the Miami Dolphins, 81-year-old team owner Ralph Wilson sidled over with a message.

     

    "They said we took you too high," Wilson said. "I don't think so."

     

    Whitner's face lit up, as you would expect when the man who signs the checks pays you a compliment. "Thank you, sir," Whitner said. "I'm just trying to prove them wrong."

    Did this give anybody else chills?

  2. I'd be happy with that too, but I don't think a one TD margin of victory would do much to stop the arrogance and media fellating that's going on down there. They'd chalk it up as an "off day" or a fluke. I want to pull a Jacksonville on their asses and whoop them into oblivion.

    Please just win this one boys...I'll have the worst feeling in my gut for 7 long days if we lose this damn game.

  3. I'd like to think that my burning question this Sunday will be "Who is this hot chick laying next to me, and why are her panties on my head?"  I also hope that the question is the only thing that's burning...

    No herb that morning? :lol:

     

    You know after the loss to New England in the first week I didn't get that sick feeling I get when the Bills lose to the same extent as usual, but if we lose this week to Miami to go 0-2 I know that feeling will be there in all its glory for days. For the sake of my college classes, DJ & Co. better find a way to win this one. I'm sure Culpepper will make some mistakes so we should at the very least be in it.

     

    :doh: Squish the Fish! ;)

  4. I have a theory here... the line judge will often be looking down the line to see exactly (according to him) where the ball was when the knee goes down. I think many of them are soooo accustomed to running backs stretching the ball out AFTER the initial knee down point (forward progress). The play here was different in my eyes because Willis actually gets the ball thrust forward BEFORE his knee hits. I really have a suspicion that that line judge didn't allow for what I believe was a good  enough reach by McGahee to gain the first down. In other words, he made it and got a bad spot, pure and simple!!

    What makes this an easy play for a referee to botch is that McGahee lands awkwardly. Usually a runner's knee will hit the ground first and then the rest of his body will come down, and it's often in that split second after his knee hits but before the rest of his body hits that he'll reach the ball forward, and the extra reach is correctly subtracted from the spot. But look closely at the play. In this case, Willis did a great job of keeping his knee off the ground until the rest of his body came down, and the extra lunge forward came before he hit the ground, and he did get the first. At least thats what I see.

     

    I can't get on the refs here though, its a very difficult call and easy to get wrong. In most cases that spot would've been correct, but Willis put forth a good effort to keep his knee up which I believe went unnoticed.

  5. Spikes is the only legitimate superstar on this team, and we all witnessed what happened to this defense when he went down last year. In fact, we got to see once again how much the D changes when he goes down just this past Sunday. The thought of benching him makes me queasy.

  6. I think we did try one screen actually, but JP ended up throwing it into the ground because the back (I think it was Train, but it may have been Willis) was covered. If I'm not mistaken, that's the play where Phil Simms went into a rant about some new rule concerning intentional grounding, although it didn't sound any different than its always been.

  7. Is anyone else annoyed when people use the phrase "I could care less" (meaning you do care about the issue since you could care even less).  The proper phrase is "I COULDN'T care less".

    That annoys me more than anything else. I correct it every single time I hear it said, it just drives me crazy.

  8. Oh, come on. You're all making it like he's on the Todd Collins-Rob Johnson level, and that just isn't the case. He's shown flashes of ability, but he isn't a smart QB and is inconsistent. Don't get me wrong, I like Losman and am glad we have him and not Brooks, but you guys are over doing it.

     

    Oh, was I welcome in this thread with a low post count?

  9. What terrible mistakes did the Pats make? We almost won this game because we played a good game, not because they played badly. Both of their turnovers came on good plays from our defense (as opposed to Brady making a terrible decision or somebody fumbling), the Pats shut down our run in the 2nd half, and there were no blown coverages or costly penalties. Saying the Bills nearly won the game only because of mistakes from the Pats just has no grounds or credibility, and it sounds as if they didn't even watch the game they're commenting on.

  10. In the last minutes of SF - AZ came that was shown after the end of the DAL game, I noticed a ref running to spot the ball in the last few seconds, as SF had a shot at a tie and had no time-outs. Good work by that fellow.

    According to some, he wouldn't have done that for Jacksonville, Buffalo or Tampa Bay. I guess that same guy would've just taken his sweet old time. <_<

  11. Whitner by default as none of these guys looked great. Ellison was out of postion constantly, and I didn't notice Simpson in pass coverage or run support at all. With the Patriots running on us the way they did, I wouldn't think Williams could've played all that well and I only noticed him making one play.

     

    Whitner wasn't amazing but at least he got the pick. There's something to having a nose for the football as a defensive player and it was a nice play, cutting Watson's route off.
