I'm of the philosophy that a QB is just another player on the field. So, in that sense, anybody who receives the snap should have to be touched down.

On a similar note, I saw Tyson Clabo utterly failing in the run game yesterday during MNF.

The road aspect (over a year without a road win, I believe) concerns me. Trap game? This doesn't seem like a group to get cocky and look past an opponent.

1) Fans of every team claim "best in the world" status. 2) If the Bills ever win the Superbowl, I will be happy as a clam, but it will certainly not be my personal success.

I think it's 13 touchdowns, 12 with two-point conversions tacked on. The 13th is an extra point, drop kicked through the uprights by Fitz after he fumbles the snap.

Not that this trend will continue to such an extreme measure, but I do believe the NFC is the significantly better conference this year. The Niners, Packers and Falcons might be the league's three best teams, the Giants are wearing SB rings, and even last season's doormat teams (Rams, Skins, Cards, Vikes) are looking like upstarts. So to sum up, is this an ideal season for the Bills to throw off the no-playoffs yoke?

I'm Pro-Choice.

This is fantastic, dude. Did you come up with that? The Snow Plow. I friggin love it.

I'm still laughing whenever I think about it. http://i.imgur.com/PjQHv.png

My favorite stat thus far is zero sacks allowed. I've seen enough terrible O-line play that last year was a treat and this year is a damn delight.

Funny thing is, while we discuss the merits of BB opting for a 42 yarder over the chance at a 35 yarder, Gostkowski probably would have hit the upright on an extra point with that kick.

I've always wondered - are pandas just really really bad at !@#$ing? Or what? Why is it such a monumental effort to get 'em knocked up?

Maybe there are more nuances than I estimated, but if Belichick felt Gostkowski was a 90% shot from that distance, he was wrong. 69.7% from the 40-49 distance over the guy's career. And if you want to take Gillette/Away, 7 out of his 14 misses from that distance have been at home. I see your point...I would have tried to advance the ball. In either case, a supposed sports expert like Simmons should dig into the numbers before reacting.

I think you're right. Field goals are hit exponentially more often as you get closer, whereas fumbles occur at roughly the same 2% clip no matter where you are on the field. From the nebulous 40 yard range, trying to gain an extra 5-10 yards is a no brainer.

Whoever had Spiller, Bush, Lynch, Gore and Ridley as the top 5 rushers, raise your hand. Anybody?

Not to mention, they kicked a PAT when down 35-9. But they were competing with long passes until the very end. So does Crennel not know how to add and subtract? Puzzling.

I sure wish we had a guy like Gronkowski, but I'm also starting to think Chandler is better than we ever expected.

Except for a lucky few, the sun rises and sets quickly on a RB's chance to be great. The next couple years (at least) are Spiller's chance. Glad he's got a Bills' uniform on for it.

I've said it many times before and will say it again - KW is the best player on this team and at least in the discussion for best DT in the game.

A loss today and you need to go 10-4 with 2 games against the Pats, one against the Niners and one more against the team that just pasted them to the turf. "Must win" to me refers to elimination games, but it's certainly dire.

Way to antagonize a guy who was just trying to be helpful.

So far, 40 interceptions thrown through 17 games. Statistical anomaly or are defenses hitting back after another Year of the QB?

Among the three greatest things in the world are baseball, Clint Eastwood and hot redheads. I'll be there for that one.

IMO it's fine to be sympathetic with the PSU players. They wear a scarlet letter for the sins of other men. But the continuing "We Are...Penn State" mentality is troubling to say the least. My Dad's an alum and lifelong fan and I'm proud of him for disowning the team.

These are the kinds of posts I love. LET'S GO BUFFALO, HERMANO!
