It's only three consecutive embarrassing losses to average teams. If the Bills capture lightning in a bottle, I'm confident they can make it to 6-10.

+1 I believe in intangibles. I don't weight them as heavily as some, but I think a winning attitude, the spark, plays a role. The only thing I've ever objected to is that the media tends to forget Tebow's teammates (and that includes all the other impressive young men at UF).

They do correlate very closely. You don't move the ball, you don't score. Denver's defense has been winning them games, and Tebow has chipped in with timely plays. Good for him. Any young QB who shows that sort of poise can't be written off. I still need proof that he can move the ball consistently.

Except not nearly as many.

Yeah, Tim Tebow is very accurate if you include all of his rushes as completed passes.

I have a rotating cast of made up words that I use. "Torgsdeep", for example, is one of the retired ones. Perfect system because I'll never forget them, but nobody could ever guess them.

Points are the only thing that technically matters, but points allowed and yards allowed are correlated closely enough that yards allowed (situationally) can be analyzed to predict future returns.

Is soccer that one where the surfboard ripped off her shirt that one time?

You're right. Fellow Bills fans, I am sorry. I realize that the status of Latin as a dead tongue does not excuse my profanity therein. I realize the magnitude of my error and I know that the onus is on me to earn back your respect. I hope that the healing process can begin. Thank you and God bless.

Love it. What I hate is a faux puritan society where a man has to apologize for using a curse word to comedic effect.

Love it. If you ever get the chance to read the biography Luckiest Man, do so.

Sure, you could get a pretty good estimate that way, maybe +/- 10 leaves. To get the exact number, you gotta put the effort in.

Not that it would've been ideal but if your son has that sort of physical skill set, couldn't he have started at a different position and then switched to RB once he got scouted? Seems better than not playing at all.

How much of the 6 hours did you spend counting every leaf? Edit: Damn, Pooj beat me to it.

Here we go...

Any opinions on Murderball? One of the few documentaries to truly blow me away.

This is what annoys me; Good on Tebow for that final drive, but the Broncos' defense should be getting 95% of the credit. And yet, you don't hear a peep about them. From an objective standpoint, they saved Tebow's bacon. That winning drive could have very well been meaningless. And no, I'm not being anti-Tebow here. It's just that the Denver offense did NOTHING with the ball all game, so to be in a position where the lead was even attainable was a near miracle given how often they punted away to the Jets. Look at the way the Broncos have been winning. Why aren't people saying "The Denver defense just wins games"?

I'm on record for thinking Rocky is vastly overrated. I give it credit for taking the boxing genre to a whole new level of popularity, but I can think of a sizable handful of boxing movies that are better, Raging Bull being one. I also think The Fighter was better than Rocky and operated on a lot of the same motifs. I really thought Big Fan was spectacular. More than anything, I appreciate the combination of a role and an actor that just fit each other so perfectly. The movie should also be required viewing for some of the overreacting wackadoos on TSW Rounders is a hell of a fun movie. Might be in my Top 10. Jerry Maguire. Goddamn chick flick masquerading as a sports movie. Did have some memorable quotes, though.

No way I'm giving you crap for that! A League of Their Own is definitely a top 5 baseball flick. That's one I can watch over and over again. Shamefully, I've never seen Brian's Song. I'll have to look it up on Netflix. Hoosiers was great, but bball is my least favorite major sport so that definitely colors my opinion.

As bleak as things have looked around here, if the Bills take care of business against the Dolphins their playoff hopes are very much within their own destiny, as the Jets will now struggle to attain 10-6. I only fear that our injuries have piled up too high. Double digit players on the IR again.

According to one douchey opinion http://www.entertainment-bureau.com/the-5-greatest-sports-movies-of-all-time/1145 Let's have fun with this...what do you guys think? I had a hard time not including Raging Bull.

Good thing indeed. Maybe we should consolidate Sabres threads into one thread, sorta like the Bills thread on Sabrespace? No offense to the OP, but it would facilitate discussion.

Sorry, but no. I would totally agree with you if the content of the piece actually matched its admirable thesis. There's nothing in there suggesting an actual revelation about what's important in life. "Maybe I'll become a better parent or husband", he says with a shrug. It's quite evident that the author is simply frustrated that not enough victory parades are running through the streets of Philly. Waaaah, the Phillies haven't won the World Series since 2008. Waaaah, every Eagles season is the same 10-6 nightmare where we lose in the playoffs. Waaaah no Sixers this year. Waaaah, I don't even care about hockey but the Flyers always lose in the playoffs. And then the bit about Penn State...he's not upset that kids got raped, he's upset that watching sports news makes him sad now. Like you said, nobody should obsess over sports. Energies should be spent elsewhere. This guy, though, is completely insincere about that message.

We should trade Miller and Enroth for Tim Connolly. McIntyre went full on shutout for 9 minutes, baby!
