Basically, you have a smart ST play taking advantage of a stupid one. Left footed punter, they had 2 guys coming in able to block the punt on the left. Demarco took out the inside one (the one w/ the shorter path in); the outside one still made it. Ideally, a punter sees he's about to get blocked & does something (shuffle punt, abort & run). The low snap may have inhibited his ability to do so (but again, is he smart/experienced enough to decide whether or not to kick it). I haven't seen the replay, but was our gunner uncovered? If so, that's a major FUBAR mistake. He should either be thrown to or come into block.

Two possible scenarios as to why she would cooperate w/ the NFL. 1) The claims have minimal merit & she's just doing it to "spite" AB. 2) The claims are legit & she is then using the NFL and it's considerable resources to substantiate her claims gratis.

For battery powered, I have several Milwaukee M18 tools. Very happy w/ them. I've used them side by side against Dewalt & think they're superior. For corded, I have a mix. I have a few Makita tools that are still going strong after over 30 yrs.

I think you need to judge kickers on a sliding scale as kicking has improved TREMENDOUSLY over time. Although not strong legged, Norwood was among the best historical kickers of his era for several yrs. Christie was also good though I don't know if up to that measurement. Although it was before my time, & he was only w/ the Bills for a short time, Googalak was for a short time, at a level beyond any of his peers.

No, I inquired about email address to send Paypal to (you only mentioned Venmo). As I've seen above, looks like it's the same for Paypal. I will pay you $13 momentarily. Thanks.

The battle might be over, but I'd say there's < 50% chance Bojo is our punter come week 1.

I sent a message/question to the email address a couple days ago. Is it valid? Haven't received a response yet. Thanks.

1 XL please. Most likely shipped (I won't be at the opener, but might be able to arrange someone to fetch it for me). And I was just thinking it's about time to whittle down my t-shirt collection. :DOH:

What, is "Shady Brady" already taken? Can't afford the royalties?

Eh, all he does is catch TDs.

I caught someone (Beane, maybe probably) recently in an interview type thing mentioning it w/out a defined date, saying something like "sometime next week". I thought that odd in that it was someone that should know when it would be. So perhaps, quite recently, they still hadn't set a firm date.

I was made aware awhile ago, that the Steelers have only had 3 coaches since before I was aware what football was (Not quite since I was born; Noll started in like '69). That's like 50 yrs!

As I recall, he wasn't that good as a rookie, but showed promise. His 2nd yr he was pretty good. He regressed once Castillo came & they changed schemes. I think the new OL coach should have a strong say as to whether or not he's worth trying to salvage for the $.

I still sometimes sing it (sorta to myself). I've got it on a cassette somewhere (recorded off the radio).

I was wondering if he wasn't going to get fined for "criticizing" the official. As I understand it, you're not supposed to publicly criticize their performance & him admitting that he got there early implies he's stating they made the wrong/lack of call.

It has been explained in the past. He takes all the teams rankings in numerous categories (1-32; obviously 1-x back when there were <32 teams) & adds them up. Team w/ the lowest cumulative points is the best, the most worst, etc. Actually, if you read the article you linked, there's a better description there:

Steve Freeman maybe? I think he was free rather than strong.

What might make sense is an "intern" type position during training camp. During the season, coaching is probably like a 100 hr/wk job. Not something you take on when you wanna be w/ your family. An intern position would only be for a few weeks & likely wouldn't require as much of a commitment during that time.

In hindsight, our handling of the WR certainly was ass-backward. Having Woods on our team now would certainly bolster our WR corp and would've been a bargain relative to what we paid for the production we got from his replacement(s). I never could understand how we let Robey-Coleman get away.

He's been top-10 10 of the last 18 yrs. Never worse than 22 except his 1st yr. 20+ yrs ago.

Actually, did you know that much of The Natural was filmed at the old War Memorial. Apparently, at the time, it was one of the few stadiums still around that retained that era's appearance.

So he's got to throw the thing 110' up & do so at a considerable distance away? Don't think it can be done. 110' is the apex of a good punt; he might be able to do that (though I'm skeptical), but I doubt he could achieve that hgt at a significant distance. I've (obviously) never been down on the field & it's been a number of years since my last time at the stadium, but I'm roughly guessing maybe 50 yds plus?

I think it's an imperative that Crossman be let go. Just too much inexcusable poor performance on ST. As for Castillo, I'd like to see him go, but I think the decision should be based on Daboll's opinion. He inherited Castillo & maybe he likes the guy & thinks he's a good fit. Yes, our offense performed poorly, and in his tenure some players have declined (Groy & Miller). We lacked talent on the Oline & perhaps the thought is that w/ better (& proper "fit") we can get good performance from that unit.

You've got to remember, Fox (read NFC promoting) has no allegiance to an AFC team. From their perspective, (not that of a Bills fan), they have a choice of a few games of little appeal. GB sucks (this yr), Dallas has more appeal than Detroit. The other games have no interest.
