Whew. Clausen's pass into the end zone knocked down as time expired. FINAL, 45-38.

Did you see his TD pass? Edit: Defense not spoken here. 45-38 Stanfor* with 0:31 remaining and N* on the move.

Wrong, from someone who purchased both last year (but who is not wasting my time at the Rogers Centre again). Nice try, though.

Yeah, it was an "incredible" atmosphere for the Bills-Fins game last year ... and I don't mean that in a good way. Hope Mr. Wilson has already cashed that $78 million check.

To add to this (and agree with you), the Bills ran more often than they passed in three of their four Super Bowl seasons, and five of six years during the period of AFC East dominance which started in 1988. 1988: 528 runs (Thomas 207, Riddick 111, Mueller 81), 454 passes 1989: 532 runs (TT 298, Kinnebrew 131), 478 passes 1990: 479 runs (TT 271), 425 passes 1991: 505 runs (TT 288, Davis 129), 516 passes 1992: 549 runs (TT 312, KD 139), 509 passes 1993: 550 runs (TT 335, KD 109), 497 passes Some of that can be attributed to running out the clock at the end of wins ... but when a team's primary back is at/above 300 carries, "pass-happy" might not be an accurate description. To compare, Marshall Faulk had 324 carries in his final season in Indy, and never more than 260 during his years as a Ram.

49ers.

I actually posted about that Rams game over on Tim's blog before even coming here to look up the actual thread from back then, because the thought of April running down the Bills sideline, trailing the play while giving Martz the "how do you like me now?" business, was so damned funny. Oh, yeah. That one, I had no problem remembering. Did take a sec to doublecheck my memory on the return man, because someone else broke a long one just before that, but didn't score. Fast Freddie Smith, I think. Here's the box score: http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2004112101/2...alyze/box-score As far as finding the specific thread, I just did a search on "martz" and my name, knowing the approximate date of that game.

I give you ... MadMikeMartz, circa 2004.

Thanks for sharing that, Jim, and likewise to KRC for letting us know of Mr. Janik's passing. R.I.P.

There is no chance I would have been able to sit through that videotape without totally breaking down. None. Especially not after watching my cousin go through the same thing, at almost the same age: Miss you, cuz.

Thank you. Think I posted something about Gruden deciding to stay in the MNF broadcast booth before any rumor of the Bills' potential interest in him surfaced -- in fact, while Jauron was still the head coach. As if I needed any more proof that most of this board has me on ignore.

This part of the fanbase wants to see the Bills consistently win, no matter who's taking the snap from center. Unfortunately, it's been a while ...

True, but that doesn't tell us whether or not such a suggestion occurred. If GB wasn't so hammered with injuries, I wonder if they would have tried to hang onto him by elevating him to their own roster, then told Buffalo they'd talk trade after the season? They are only carrying two quarterbacks on the 53-man squad. All hypothetical, of course. They could have also said, "You want him? Eh, whatever. Nice knowing you, Brian ..."

Now? I'd probably agree. Not when Paul Oberjuerge was still the SE in San Berdoo, though.

Easy answer, although perhaps one you won't like: Chris Brown omitted it from his most recent story on bb.com, but they re-signed Christian Gaddis to the practice squad last week. That's one. Not sure what they'll do for the other, although I imagine (hope?) John Guy was working the phones as soon as he saw what happened to Wood.

Linky from the PBPost, Tim's old stomping grounds. And yeah, if they ever did go to an 18-game season, I think they'd have to expand the rosters. Still not sure it's worth the added abuse -- even if they cut preseason games to compensate, most of the veteran players aren't seeing much action in the practice games anyway.

Quad injury. No link yet.

Threadbare? Props to the guys who gutted it out yesterday, including McKinney, who tried to keep playing. That goes double for Kyle Williams. I'll be honest, I gave the Bills little chance yesterday, largely because I didn't expect him to play and I thought MJD would set all kinds of career rushing records with both him and Stroud out.

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehn, adieu ...

No, that would be the reflection off your monitor. To repeat: "Rubes" is, in fact, an M.D.

Not saying it hasn't. (And yeah, to be honest, I'd probably snicker if it did happen to the Pats the next time they play here.) Just found it ... interesting ... that someone known for defending the Patriots and their fans in previous threads would try to rationalize the act by pointing out that it wasn't before an early game.

Izzat anything like the 100,000+ "Bills in Toronto" ticket requests?

If anyone who isn't related to Brian Brohm buys season tickets because he's now on the team, they're beyond hope. Then again, that could already apply to some of us...

That makes it okay? Perhaps we should publish the name of the Pats' team hotel when they visit here next month, then. Turnabout = fair play, and all that. (DISCLAIMER: I'm being facetious. Please don't take me up on that suggestion.)

Forcing the fumble to stop a Jax drive at the BUF 20 doesn't count?
