Thurman could have had 300 yards that day. When Parcells got sick of seeing Thurman run by, he would have had to stack the line, then we pass to Reed. We got outcoached and too bad for us, Kelly called his number more than he did Thurman's.
His analysis of the candidtaes is pretty spot on. Even with his past good deeds, I think Ralph recently has ruffled feathers with his crying poor all the time.
Reed will probably never get in. We needed a Super Bowl win with a great "Lynn Swan type performance" for him to get in. Reed never made a huge impact in the Super Bowl and the one time he would have had a signature play- in the 1st Super Bowl game, he dropped a crucial 3rd and 3 pass over the midddle (after we get the kick with the safetly) that would have gone huge and helped put the game away.
I don't really think that Nate is slighting buffalo. He didn't come out and say he didn't like it there. Rob Johnson trashed Buffalo big time when he left. I don't think that is Nate's intent here. I would say that playing for Buffalo is a great thing for NFL'ers that are family men. The young guys with millions feel limited for sure.
I love when people get so worked up like that. In the act of trying to strike out and destroy someone else's experience, they actually wreck their own fun time. And they look silly. It's the eqivalent of the neighborhood busy body that sits at the window for hours and calls the cops when the see someone step on their lawn.
I've always wanted to go to a Chiefs game. I've heard that Buffalo and KC are similar experiences. How was the tailgating? I hear that they are right up there with Buffalo.
Unfortunately, Buffalo gets a bad rap from people that have never stepped foot in the city because they heard bad things. It is definitely damaging when morons like Rosenhaus perpetuate the bad press. We lose out on players like Gonzalez. But even worse, you lose out when people do not want to visit or do business in Buffalo because they hear silly comments from people like these idiots. It's too bad that these comments reach a big audience.
There is positive press out there once in a while for people that are in the know. Check out the NY Times yesterday for a great article on Buffalo and the architecture.
I am pissed this one will not be in Buffalo. Talk about a great day for revenge in our house, in the elements against the one team in our division that is at a disadvantage in snow. Super. The fans in Toronto better be loud. This is a blown opportunity. We should have given them the Niners.
That was a good article. I agree we could sell the naming rights but out of towners might not realize that. All else is pretty on the money. Having been to a Premiership game, I know exactly what he means. Our drunk rowdiness is a walk in the park compared to their full on hooliganism.
It used to be fun trading insults with their fans. But the Meth Wars have been unkind to their fan base. Too many lost minds and so many lost teeth. They are easy prey.
Seriously. Buffadorks? This rivalry was so much cooler in the days before widespread meth use and highspeed internet access for every doublewide in Florida.
I've always held that same weird belief that if we win the Superbowl, somehow, Buffalo will improve. I think at least we will lose the monkey on the back and our image will improve at least. It would be very very hard to justify taking the team away from Buffalo after they won a Superbowl and good feelings were running high all around. I almost feel that we have to win in the next 3 years.
