Gump Worseley was, I think, the last NFL goalie to play without a mask. He once took a shot by Bobby Hull in the forehead and lived to tell about it. Gump retired in the early '70s.

"I'm just here so I don't get fined" Marshawn Lynch's answer to every question.

My dad used to watch the game on TV but with the volume down. He'd substitute the radio broadcast audio of the game. For those who find the tv announcers annoying try this.

Who remembers Simon Pure?

Cosell is unblockable. We should sign him to our roster as a DE.

I once read that a blitzing linebacker hits with as much force as a car going 5 mph. Is this true?

With this disaster of a roster, all the injuries and poor coaching. I'll bet we must be 4-9.

Sounds complicated. Can't wait for it to malfunction in the first Bills' lake-effect snowstorm. Does it have an anti-fogging feature? I remember "watching" an Eagles game some years ago. I couldn't see a thing and neither could the players.

Your whole post is spot on. Knox is a better all-around TE than Kincaid. Remember we drafted Knox to be a pass-catching TE. I don't know why Knox hasn't had more targets the last couple of seasons. I think I know why he was targeted more and had a good game against the Bengals -- it was likely part of Brady's gameplan. One of the announcers said the Bengals' D did not cover TEs well.

Could have been influenced by weather conditions. When its freezing and snowy the receivers have an advantage -- they know where they are going and the DBs have to react. If the DB slips, it's good by Mr Spaulding!

You'd just rub some dirt on it and get back in. Who remembers those ammonia capsules? Just break one and hold it under your nose; that'll get rid of the cobwebs.

Safety is a very cerebral position. It requires a high football IQ. Poyer has it and Bishop was drafted in part on his football IQ. CB used to be just an athletic position but with the advent of pattern match D's, it now requires the ability to think on your feet. Several years ago Beane said that the light hadn't yet come on for Elam so I think he was a bust because he lacks a football IQ.

I think we all know why Cook has fumbled four times -- fire Brady!

Sic transit gloria mundi

There is some truth to what you say. Good teams make their own luck.
