Realist

2 reasons I can think of, they felt they could beat Jax by controlling the clock and wanted to get the OLines confidence up before resorting to the deep ball. Although, one or two would have been nice just to keep them thinking. I bet we go deep a few times next week.

Actually I would rather have had McGahee in there. During the preseason he had a knack of finding the end zone on runs inside the 5. I believe we would have scored if WM was in the backfield.

I've criticized Jerry Sullivan and his writing just as often as most on this board normally I can't stand his TD sucks and DB sucks littany on a daily basis. But this time I think he actually watched the game before writing and I believe he actually tells it like it is in his article today. Congrats Jerry on some decent writing for once. Sullivan Article

Yeah that UM and FSU game sucked Friday night...Well at least until the OT!! Thanks for reminding me of that and brightening up my gloomy Monday!

I'm starting to see this team as the Panthers of 2 years ago. They finished 7-9 and lost many close games. Why, because they didn't know how to win them. Last year it was just the opposite. They won all those close games and ended up in the Superbowl. I don't think any of us saw the Bills as a Superbowl team this year and I'm sure none of us see it now. Throughout this year they will learn how to win and possibly contend for the playoffs, but I think next year will actually be the start of something great here. I do plan on enjoying this year even with all the ups and downs.

How dare you bring common sense to this board on a Monday morning after a loss. Don't you know we're Doooooomed! There was some good out of yesterday's game. How often is Moulds going to fumble in the redzone? Penalty on 3 and 2 that would have iced the game for us if converted. Clements going for the pick instead of knocking it down. Those things are all correctable or unlikely to happen again. This team will come together. On a positive note the OLine looked better than we thought it would. Defense played great for 58 minutes. Henry and McGahee looked pretty good against a tough defense and Bledsoe looked better. On to Oakland to kick some Raider A$$!!!

Thats exactly right. It doesn't matter that the O only scored 10. There is no excuse for the D not stopping them on the final drive.

That could be a problem.

Pittsburgh had that game won, it was no shootout. Raiders had two TD's on pump fakes where the safety bit and the WR was wide open deep for the TD's. Raiders scored 21 on 2 long balls for TDs an XP and a 2 pt conversion and 2 field goals. Pittsburgh pretty much dominated except for those two long TD's.

42 yarders aren't exactly gimmes. Now if that was 32 yards...

1. Manning 2. Brady 3. McNair 4. Culpepper 5. Favre Delhomme would be a very close 6th but I'd like to see hiim do the same another year. Pennington, Hassleback, and Vick haven't done anything yet to be on this list.

He looked good in the preseason, I see no reason to believe he won't to just as well during the regular season.

Greg Aeillo (sp) from the NFL was on the Dan Patrick show on ESPN Radio and said they cannot show Friday or Saturday games on television, whther network tv or otherwise, due to competition with High School and College football. It goes back to a long standing law from 1961.

Agree it will be Schobel.

With all the talk about how this is going to be a run first team, a play action pass out of a two TE set.

That was really his only dumb play of the night. But you are correct, when he audibled and I saw the back move to the other side, the first thing I thought was what the hell are you doing?

I don't think anyone here thinks its hopeless. We're all finally admitting that the Pats are a damn good team. Although from the looks of last night, I believe their D is vulnerable. Without the stupid turnovers the score could have been 45-27. The Pats looked like the Chiefs of last year, great offense but Defense was shaky.

I think you need to rewatch the game, even when he was getting pressure Brady was dead on. Whether he was scrambling or in the pocket. The only time he made bad throws were when someone was right up in his face and he couldn't step into it. I was mocking him and giving making excuses for the past two years, but after watching him last night, I have to give him his props.

Looks like you're going to have to start posting on a Dolphins board.

Wait a minute, so this means that its still the national game, even though we already know the outcome? That sucks! I was hoping I might be able to see the Bills. At least put a different game on, why the hell would anyone want to see a game they already know the outcome of unless you are a fan of one of those teams? A general NFL fan wouldn't want to see a game he already knew what happened. If I see that game on Sunday, I have one thing to say to CBS... :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: !

I am hereby on the Tom Brady band wagon. Not that I'm ever going to root for him, I hope he loses the rest of the games this year. But his performance last night was amazing. All this time half of us were saying its the system NE runs that generates his success. I don't think so. There weren't many dink and dunk passes last night. Those were accurate middle distance to long throws. Brady never lost his cool out there. His confidence, his poise, his accuracy were great. I now believe all this talk of him being compared to Joe Montana, because that's exactly who he looks like out there. It just sucks that he's in our division.

Manning is fabulous at the play action. Agree with Al, he must be the best in the league.

The obvious answer and it only took to the 23rd post for someone to say it. We must be getting slow.

So now you not only have moles, but moles with the s-hits.

Unless he's sick again and they couldn't get a guest host, thats stevestojan. You can't preempt his show on opening day.
