But then you get it to start the second half! It gives zero advantage.

You are really grasping at straws here. The opening coin toss and the decision the coach makes has absolutely no effect on the game. You say Jauron sent the message that he doesn't trust his offense. Or maybe he just trusted his defense? And it's my understanding that the majority of coaches choose to defer now that they have the option.

Why did you include Collins and Warner? Collins has been more than anybody imagined he'd be and Warner is a legitimate MVP candidate.

That's certainly true. People tend to associate kickers with being "clutch" or "unclutch", but statistics show that a kicker's FG percentage is about the least relieable statistic from year to year, probably because of sample size. Lindell is no less clutch than any other kicker in this situation, he just fell victim to probability. For the last two games, he is 6/7 kicking field goals, a very respectable rate. Too bad for him the one he missed is the one everybody will remember.

Have you ever even watched McNabb play? Are you aware that he has a 2:1 touchdown to interception ratio for his career? Are you aware that he's only attempted to rush the ball 50 times once in the past 5 seasons. Let me take a guess, you made that comparison because he's black?

Yep, you got it right there. You can look for the problem on the field all you want, but the cancer in Philadelphia is on the sidelines. His playcalling and strategy have always been just atrocious. McNabb's problems this year can be attributed to the team's absolute failure to even attempt running the ball. How can you blame McNabb when he's working in a completely one dimensional offense?

Ellis just looks really small for a DE. His frame reminds me more of a tight end. I completely agree on Kelsay. He always had more luck when Schobel was drawing double teams but now that he actually has to beat right tackles and tight ends all by himself, he is just lost out there. The man's style of play is allowing himself to get pushed 10 yards into the backfield, before trying to recover but never ever reaching the QB. I've seen him get completely taken out of plays by running backs.

He doesn't need one. No excuses necessary for missing 47 yarders when his team should have gotten him a 35 yarder.

I'll eat my hat if he stays in New England backing up Brady. He is going to be laughing all the way to the bank after these last two performances.

Yes, that was a ridiculous assertion. Apparently all it takes is a couple missed tackles against the Chiefs to be labelled soft. I wonder if the poster would be brave enough to call him soft to his face.

Ellison is great in coverage, but a piss-poor tackler. Mitchell is a good blitzer and (usually) a good tackler, but a liability in coverage. Poz should become a good all around middle linebacker and he's a tackling machine, but it feels like he's playing slow right now. I don't know how the OP comes up with "worst linebacker corps in the NFL right now", but it's certainly not a big strength at the moment. I agree with those who say we should bring in Dansby.

Wait, are you saying you wanted to see him starting over McGee and Greer, two proven starters? He was 3rd on the depth chart because he's a rookie. I wasn't aware that the coaching staff even needed excuses for not starting him.

The Bills have now scored the second most points in the AFC, behind the Jets and the Chargers (we're only trailing the Chargers by 1 point).

So Evans and Reed's combined 10 receptions and 160 yards were the result of Edwards checking down to his TE or RB?

Are you aware that you don't have to push the enter key every time you finish a sentence?

I'm really really looking forward to having Whitner back. Gonzo just abused our safeties today.

F*ck! F*cking vinatieri. If the Ravens and Colts had lost today, we wouldve been in really good shape.

Enroll in an anger management course.

Ok Kaeding just tied it up but because Norv called a TO, Manning has 1:30 to march. Doesn't bode well.

I should start writing these people down, as a sort of "I told you so" list for when the Bills win the Superbowl (maybe a couple years from now).

We need to win 4 out of 5, but only a loss to San Fran would be acceptable. I think losing another AFC game would just entirely doom us in terms of tiebreakers.

Are you kidding? He was one of the only Chiefs to have a good day today. 113 yards and touchdown. And he's widely regarded as one of the classiest players in the league. Oh, but how DARE he not want to play in Buffalo? Anybody who doesn't feel like playing in Buffalo must be an as*hole. Get a grip dude.

Chargers just made it 20-17 with 5:36 on the clock. If they can actually stop Manning, they have a chance to tie or win. An Indy loss would be huge for the Bills.

Yeah, that disappointed me a little bit too. Thought we were a little more classy. My only thought is that Edwards finally looked good again, and the coaches wanted him rolling into the next game with a full head of steam?
