Anyone else notice this? They have highlights of all the games. Pretty nifty. Not sure when they started this feature.

Very good points and reason for hope. However, what concerns me is those teams seemed to run all over us and then try to pass to get in the endzone which meant we could stop them eventually. The Chargers, on the other hand, rely on LT to get the ball in the endzone. So, I can see them scoring big on us. And I do agree, we can't focus on LT so much we over pursue or that Rivers burns us in the passing game.

I really hate trying to read other boards. They're all so messy with graphics and colors and sigs and crap. It takes forever to try and figure out who's talking about what. That's the last link to another board I follow. I love the look here. Its clean and easy to follow with a tasteful use of color and limited graphics in the avatar.

But the two go hand in hand. If he thought Young had thrown the ball, then he thinks following through on the tackle likely causes a penalty. The problem here is there are so many ticky tack calls when guys touch QBs that its causing defensive players to let up; thereby, giving QBs chances to continue a play like Young did. I agree with a previous post - they should just put flags on the QB and leave it at that. Also, for all those complaining about the celebration penalty, please don't bite the hand that feeds you. On that same play, there was clearly a blatant hold on Coy and Thomas was holding Parrish up - both (if called) would have brought the ball back and took the points off the board. IMO, we got off pretty darn lucky there and this is definitely a week we shouldn't be complaining about blown ref calls.

Hence my concern this week with perhaps the league's best runner coming to town. If we make average backs look great: what will LT look like after this game? I can only hope that Jauron et al. have some serious mojo to pull out of their collective rears to do what they haven't done all season against the one guy that does it as well as anyone all season. Maybe 10 in the box and 1 guy playing back on the goal line?

What's your plans this coming Sunday afternoon? Going to see the Penguin movie, perhaps. I'm sure we can get a pool together to buy the tickets.

I agree, crap it is. But, this is one of the problems with the Sunday ticket - you get most of the games, but not all. When I first moved here, I got the ticket, but of course, no local channels. When the local CBS station is showing a game, it's blacked out on DirecTV. Which sucks because for the local channel I used to have to switch to an antenna feed (like it was 1970 or something). Well, with the current state of the Bills, I doubt they'll ever be on local TV down here. So, no biggie for me this season. I always wondered why they couldn't just show you all the games on the ticket without all these restrictions and such. I suppose that corporate America at its finest.

I agree with you and JP seems to be playing to that level. Similarly, Peters looks to be ending a long-time need for us as well. That... is nothing short of miraculous. For anyone that's not sure of JP's play, I offer this: He played such a good game that he has caused LSI Cadet to officially jump on his bandwagon. More importantly, he's done what no other poster on this board could do... he's silenced Deluca! Now that may be the most impressive stat from the game. The haters are losing their ranks fast.

Thank You.

am I the only one that saw a tremendous hold on Roscoe's punt return for TD? It looked like Coy Wire holding number 31 on about the 45 yd line. We always give the refs crap about BS calls (i.e. the celebration after the punt return TD). But, shouldn't we also give them some credit for helping us out there? Or am I just seeing things.

First time in JP's young career?

I understand what you're saying, but I'm not ready to write him off just yet. He may not have gotten alot of tackles, but I saw him moving around alot and regularly in the middle of the action. As many have noted, his is typically a career ending injury and therefore we should reasonably give him more time to regain form. Perhaps he'll never be the beast we remember, but he may still become a solid player.

So that's what they're calling it these days. (sorry HA, couldn't resist)

I was just thinking along those lines. The play calling has really gotten better the last 2 weeks. Along with those plays, you can add in a few deep throws to Evans to keep the safety's off the line; and just like that, things look better. I also noticed that they threw at least a few times out of the i formation. Again, just adding some wrinkles to the offensive game plan to keep the defense off balance.

NBC Player of the Day NBC Turning Point He needs it. (hope those links work)

Yes.

Years ago, didn't someone post that they made all sorts of noise in the visiting teams hotel - keeping them up all night? We need that, and some hookers and bad clams sent to LT's room. I really am hoping we can shock the Chargers, but I hate the thought of LT running through our porous run D.

Gotta love the ticket.

If JP would have thrown it, it would have been put where only his guy could get it. Another completion and we'd be in field goal range.

Friggin Pats get it right back!

Agreed. Stupid move. In that case, you're definitely better off trying the long field goal.

McGee would have the Titans right where he wants them.

Fieldgoal is good. Titans lead with 6 seconds. Amazing.

Horrible play by the guy. But, I have to think this is what we're seeing more of with all the BS penalties for touching the QB. It's maybe the 2nd or 3rd week I've seen a guy let up and the QB burn him.
