  1. Well, I may not decide to start stealing because the team isn't doing well, but JP-Era is doing nothing for my morale but improving it! And Fake-Fat: were you trying to make up for the relatively short length of your message by posting it 6 times?
  2. We "finally" made Peter King's "Fine 15," at number 9.
  3. I enjoy Criqui, but that's probably because I play the Don Criqui drinking game while watching. Take a shot every time he says "timing pass," two every time he says "touch pass." You'll get rocked in no time!
  4. Just think, at mid-season our team MVP was Brian Moorman.
  5. You forgot the all important stat: The defense allowed 7.5 times as many yardage in the second half than the first. Whatever happened to the halftime adjustments?
  6. You go with #2 in the depth chart. If Losman were the 2nd best QB on the team, he would be #2 on the depth chart. There no medical reason for Losman to be #3, just coaching assessment reasons.
  7. Then there's the whole coordination issue with catching the ball while running...
  8. You knew somebody had to capitalize on the Seattle dinner story. Note that they are the cheesy single cheeseburgers. But hey, they helped lift the blackout. More for them.
  9. I think we can win if we score more points than they do.
  10. There are a lot of things that just "happened." It was part doodling with the depth chart (Smith, Henry, Reed out (Shaw waaaaaaay out), Tucker, McGahee, Evans in), part "getting comfortable in the system offensively, (thus reducing more stupid mistakes)," part tweaking the system defensively (allowing Adams to do what he does best, being more judicious in blitzing), and I would say that Moulds had a hand in it. But I would credit him for the chase down on the INT in BAL, rather than the pouting fit. That was leadership on the field.
  11. If it's a contract extension, we probably would have heard about it from Passthepotatoes by now...
  12. http://bugmenot.com/view.php?url=http%3A%2...antonrep.com%2F wally@trashmail.net wally
  13. Yeah, we should have cut Bledsoe and signed Garcia. Hopefully no one severed a toe with the shovel (a la the "lumberJack del Rio" incident last year...).
  14. Notice he seems to have a fetish for QB's wearing #7?
  15. But do they take Visa?
  16. Oh, sure, change my post and make it look like I said something I didn't.
  17. Looks like I'm there, if there's a there to there to. My 11:30 is downtown and I was told it will only be 15 minutes....
  18. and if by some chance you are the only parent going up, you need a notarized note from their mother allowing you to take them. Honestly.
  19. I believe it's to announce the immediate retirement of Moulds and McGee. Considering it's 1/2 hour after the blackout deadline, it will be to announce that somebody, like maybe McDonald's, bought up the remaining seats. That's my guess and I'm sticking to it. Until I come back to edit it at 1:31.
  20. Sorry, didn't you read the post above? They don't allow you to take fruits in. As to the original post, I wouldn't get a passport to go to Canada, but if you have one, bring it with you (unless it has the stamps from a bunch of Middle Eastern countries in it ). The more "authoritative" the documentation you have with you (birth certificate, passport over driver's license/Sam's club membership card), the less chance you'll get a hassle. And whatever you're doing up there, just tell them you're "sightseeing." And when they ask you if you have any weapons, don't say "what do you need?"
  21. So you're saying that Mularkey is trying to put us in salary cap Hell? Sorry, slipped into "rudy mode" for a minute....
  22. Like I said, I'm not passing judgement. A part of good coaching is getting along with the players, and as you said this kind of move is not ignored, not only by team mates but opposing players. It's as good a statement of your coaching style as benching, etc at the opposite end. I've been seeing plenty of that from the coaching staff this year, and I even lauded Gray for having the cahones to listen to Sam Adams instead of reprimanding him for being a "cry-baby" in order to assert authority as coach... But there are also underlying "rules of sportsmanship" that the "football Gods" oversee. MM's been great at that too (how many times have we ended a blowout by kneeling in the red zone?....heck Martz would have been going for it, and you know Indy would have been trying to get Manning one more passing TD...). In the St. Louis game it was tricky, because you wanted to get McGahee his yardage (and maybe send a warning to St. Louis not to call the time out....though I don't know what they'd do in 30 seconds with no time outs and the ball inside their 10....), but you ran the risk of him breaking through to the end zone and making it appear like you were running up the score. It's just funny to me how a pretty obvious "coaching move for stats" ended up blowing up at them in this game. Funny because we won of course.
  23. I need to go to bed is what I was thinking.
  24. Something I've thought about, and it's way too late to post it (actually e-mailed it to Howard Simon, as he made a topic of it after the St. Louis game), but what the heck.... Step back to the St. Louis game, the Bills' last offensive series. While St. Louis had one time out left, the Bills could have easily taken a knee three times and got out of there. But Willis is at 95 yards, so what happens? Run McGahee on 1st down, 5 yards gained, now he has a 100 yard game...Hmmmm, smells kinda like they tried to "make stats." I'm not going to pass judgement on it, but it certainly looks that way. Fast forward to this weekend. Garbage time, the Bills' last possession, McGahee's at 95 yards. Now they have to run time off the clock. McGahee may be the best person to do that, but it's garbage time and he's dinged up...does he really need to be out there? 1st down: -3 yards. 2nd down: -2 yards. 3rd down: 1 yard. Ending Total: 91 yards. Oops...
  25. We get much thinner at TE and Coach will have to suit up!
