I was thinking it would be just our luck if they ruled him down and then flagged Milano for a late hit on the play because, you know, he was "down" and all.

It's a very, very, very fine house. Two cats in the yard. Sorry, couldn't resist.

I think that is an accurate assessment. He just looks like he is much more confident in getting into the right play, and seeing what is coming and what will beat it. To digress, it reminds me of an interaction I had with a guy on an airplane who was at a 2007 UVA game and claimed to be an southeast scout for an NFL team which he wouldn't mention. I asked him if he had seen our fourth round pick that year, Ko Simpson and what he thought. He kind of laughed and said "believe the wonderlic," with the inference being that Ko wasn't smart and wasn't a good pick. Re Josh, believe the wonderlic.

And now we find this out? The earth is spinning faster than it has in 50 years... https://www.ign.com/articles/the-earth-is-spinning-faster-than-it-has-in-50-years Have we accounted for this? Do the Colts even know? Does it favor a short passing game? I tell ya fellas, if it's not one thing it's another.

Started a lifelong quest, as yet unfulfilled, to find a way to mute Todd Christenson's voice.

Twenty seven years and I still am trying to figure out a way to mute Todd Christenson's voice.

I did a number of sports charters. They are nothing like what you describe. They show up usually at an off terminal ramp. The airplane is ready and their air cargo is already aboard. They get on in about fifteen mins max, and are on their way. There are rarely any delays to takeoff, since they are off hub schedules. Certainly not any delays in Indy or Buffalo. They offload at another off terminal site. The busses are warmed up and waiting and the hotel is not far away. Same on the way home.

On an NFL charter, the coaching staff continues to plan and meet during the flight. They carry briefing books and go over them from start to finish.

At least we are at home. We would be tremendously disadvantaged if we had to adjust from Orchard Park's 600' msl elevation to Indianapolis' 732'.

The more I watch the Bills operate, the more I come to the same conclusion. They simply run the scramble drill better than anyone, and a t a level that it is extremely difficult to defend. It isn't that complicated. They run four or five man patterns. If the initial throw is open, Josh throws it. It often isn't. Running four or five man sets means Josh may have to escape one or more guys. Not enough blockers. He almost always does, if its only one guy. And the scramble drill begins. Our receivers now have the entire field to find a hole, as any zone or man responsibilities are broken down, (and by now, and its all man), and it is often the sideline. Josh, (and this ridiculous "not accurate" thing folds), can put the ball in a mailbox for 25 yards on the sideline, less successful in the middle, but certainly has the ability to throw across the field. I love what Daboll calls, but the strength of our offense is in Josh's ability to avoid the first pass rusher, which allows us to send one more receiver into the money zone, and run the scramble drill time and time again, and his ability make any throw.

I'd like to play a doubleheader next Sunday against the Dolphins. 45 mins between games.

Two ways to answer that. The first is to compare the matchup and see who we best compare to. The second is to want to beat someone. I want to destroy the Dolphins.

Useless win, and I don't believe you. Bills fans have been through this before, in the 68 season, when a generational talent named OJ Simpson was going first. A last month one win game wasn't worth losing him. If the Jets lose this "opportunity," it not only has the chance to effect the AFC East for years, it also has the potential to significantly determine head coaching and coordinator jobs for your franchise, and carries a potentially massive trade option hit. Enjoy your win. Immediate gratification is deserved, but it might be the very definition of a pyrrhic victory. Couldn't work out any better for the rest of the division.

Lewis and Clark was a "cross country trip." Buffalo to Denver isn't.

Obvious trap question.

I used to fly all over South America. Bogota never bothered me. Quito, Ecuador is higher and it did have an effect. Standard recommendation was to take an aspirin before sleep, and that did have a positive effect. I tried not taking one and had a headache. LaPaz, Bolivia is an entirely different animal. That airport is at 13,300' MSL. We were never scheduled to lay over there. Used to spend about an hour and fifteen mins on the ground. If the airplane broke and we had to spend the night, we had guaranteed supplemental oxygen in the hotel room. Never happened to me. At 18000' in the descent, we had to depressurize the cabin, which is usually around 6500-7500', and wear our cockpit O2 masks from 18000' through the landing and taxi in, then during taxi out and takeoff until 10,000, then run the pressurization on it's normal schedule. The hour and fifteen on the ground would effect some flight attendants. Very few unknowns about Denver home games in the NFL. Lets not go to overtime though.

He would have had a walk in 35 yarder if Allen had thrown to him instead of Knox on that fourth quarter pass interference at the goal line call. Nobody near him, and straight ahead in Josh's line of sight. Could not figure that one out.

The Steelers looked tired to me. They looked like they were ready to check out after the Bills first first down of the final drive. Three games in twelve days may have gotten to them. Ben looked like his fall off may be more serious than just being tired.

Really? There is a gross over capacity. I'm quite certain you don't have knowledge of this supply/demand issue.

During the cold war, the east and west competed on many levels. There was a weather forecast competition between two meteorologists in Germany, Wilhelm, from Democratic West Berlin and Rudolf, from communist East Berlin. Berlin was expected to be at the 32 degree isotherm line with precip in the offing. Wilhelm was adamant that the precip would fall as snow, and Rudolf just as sure that it would be rain. When the event began they continued to argue. Eventually, Rudolf won the battle, and Wilhelm admitted to his wife that "Rudolf the red knows rain dear."

SAR 1. Need go no further.

It's not like there are multiple options, or time. I'd rather he threw to guys who are open than to guys who are covered by defensive backs who can catch. Run the play. Get the ball to guys who are open. If they miss, get rid of them in the off season.

The interesting thing about that throw, I think, is that Allen may have wanted it back the minute he released it. His body language, especially from the end zone head on view, shows him having an "oh no" moment. You can see it in the video in this thread, but its more obvious in the head on.

I think Simms is fine, and he's gotten better. He has that annoying habit of stating a view, and then looking down while saying "I do.," or "I will." Still, I like him. I do.

Right here. Read the thread started yesterday on this forum. It was started at 9:21AM, and the thread title was: "49ers to a man say they knew what the Bills were going to do on offense, were not surprised but were helpless to stop them"
