Terrell Davis shouldn't be a lock for the Hall of Fame. He had a nice run there with Denver, but it wasn't enough to make him a lock. Now, should he get consideration? Maybe. It's a tough situation to consider, especially when you look at Gale Sayers making the Hall. Davis has a Super Bowl MVP and a 2,000 yard season on his resume, 2 things Sayers never achieved. So, for that reason, he should get some consideration. That doesn't mean he'll get in. I mean, the one Bill I hope (probably more than the others) gets into the Hall is Kent Hull. Does he merit consideration? I think he does for playing here for 10 years and making 3 Pro Bowls. Remember, he had to compete for a Pro Bowl spot with guys like Mosebar in Oakland, Matthews and, later, Stepnoski in Houston/Tennessee, and, of course, Dawson in Pittsburgh. For him to make 3 Pro Bowls with that kind of competition means he must have been very good. If Hull ever makes it in, there is absolutely no doubt that I will go to Canton for his enshrinement.

We'll see. I hope there will be a big turnaround, but I'm not so sure.

Congrats to Steve and his wife!! I hope one day soon I'll have the same kind of news to report.

Why will our D be dominant? Was it dominant when they were in there? We still didn't have a pass rush that consistently put pressure on QBs and forced bad throws, especially on third down. What has changed that?

Brady is not overrated. Do I believe he's one of the 3 best QBs ever? No. At least, not yet. He's off to a great start, but that's just what it is: a start. When he gets to the 10 year mark and beyond that, we'll start to talk about him and compare him to Montana, Marino, Kelly, Elway, Fouts, Unitas, etc. Well, maybe not Unitas. I still say he's the best QB to ever play the game.

Well, Reuben Droughns just had a 180 yard game. I guess he'll do that in each game for the rest of the season, huh?

I'm guessing he's referring to the fact that he has and is starting the Baltimore defense. So, if he starts Willis and he has a good game, that will hurt the defense's stats.

Yeah, Bledsoe is better than Vick. The Falcons should trade him. Or just cut him. Vick sucks.

I doubt they'll be available, if your league is anything like the 13 leagues I'm in. Both players are long gone. People jump on the free agent wire IMMEDIATELY after someone has a breakthrough game. You have to be quick in those instances.

That's all the more reason for the Bills to get their stuff together and start beating these teams. Let's make the refs a non-issue.

With 5 keepers, I'd consider it, depending on what the rest of your roster looks like.

Oh, so it was YOU who destroyed my team, huh? Oh well. It happens. Way to kick my butt!! BTW, you should never feel sorry for winning.

Jerry and his ego are funny to watch, unless his team is beating the stevestojan out of yours in the Super Bowl, that is.

Hey, I didn't know Ken had a book deal.

I wasn't. Steeler fans will travel to see their team. In most cases, that's the only way to see their team as their wait list for season tickets is over a decade long and the best way to get individual seats is through a ticket broker because of the stupid lottery system they have for issuing individual game tickets. Before M&T Stadium was built and the Ravens played their first 2 seasons at Memorial Stadium, the Ravens-Steelers games looked more like home games for Pittsburgh with their fans all over the place (like the Dallas game last weekend). With the new stadium being built and being almost all season tickets, they've gone through great pains to give their team the ultimate home field advantage.

Although it isn't exclusively a Buffalo product, I spent $35 on a case of Saranac Root Beer recently.

Nice. I've been to a few NBA games, all Houston Rockets games, but I've never seen Shaquille O'Neal in person before. Sorry 'bout the break-in. I hope they catch the punk (or punks) and bust their heads open.

Is Boldin playing that game? I know he thinks he is, but I thought Green said he won't play until November 7th.

Welcome to the Wall. Do you live in the Baltimore area? If so, you're more than welcome to come to the tailgate for the game. Check the pinned thread at the top of this forum. As for your Ravens, Boller isn't as good as they thought he was. I wonder if they regret not taking Leftwich when they had the chance. Also, your WRs just plain stink and have stunk for years! When's the last time one ever reached the Pro Bowl? Michael Jackson? That's been one of Billick's worst moves, I think: not getting a go-to guy for his young QBs (Redman, Boller) to work with. Your defense is tough and, like you said, they take risks due to their talent level (with Ed Reed at safety, you do tend to gamble more, as would most teams with a star player like that). That can hurt a team, but Baltimore hasn't been burned too badly so far. I think this will be a close game, but the Bills will have to be mistake free to come away with a win.

Spoke too soon. A 5-8 weekend puts me at 39-37-2 overall.

They're not only healthy, which they weren't last year, but they are actually progressing as players as well, especially Kendall Simmons. Imagine that.

There is no damn inner circle!!

Told ya so. I watched Roethlisberger from his last 2 years at Miami of Ohio on, and I had a feeling that he wouldn't be intimidated by playing in the NFL. It's early and there's still more football left, but so far, so good.

Trade him.

Hahaha!!! BTW, I did get your test emails at both addresses. Did you get my responses?
