I don't think anyone will claim that the Irish "destroyed" the Wolverines. Still a win is a win and a #20 beating a #3 is pretty significant.

The only thing that is "stupid" is thinking that everything would have been the same had the Bills won. Knowing the Bills had won would have made the Jets play that much harder against an inferior team like the Rams, to ensure their own playoff berth, because they knew the Colts would rest their starters against the Broncos.

Willingham didn't have Weis' proven ability to get the most out of his QB's and offenses.

No, they likely wouldn't have been. But again, that's no excuse for their piss-poor effort in that game.

Glad you enjoyed it! Winningly yours, OJ

According to Billsdaily.com, Dorenbos was released because his snaps affected Lindell. Let's hope that's the case. http://billsdaily.com/news/index.shtml#091005

Go to watch a movie about a priest who probably killed a girl with (likely) psychological (and not demonic possession) issues? No thanks.

I'd rather have a 100% Preston than a less than 100% Villy. Still it's good to know he could play if he had to, if god forbid the Bills suffer an injury to BA or Preston.

I also beleve that the Bills beating the Steelers probably would not have meant playoffs, since I also believe that the Jets layed-off once OT came around and they saw the Bills lost, thus ensuring they made the playoffs. Still it doesn't excuse the Bills from losing that game. Simply sad anyway you cut it.

"Would you like to sniff the bottle cap?"

When a cork crumbles, it's because it's dry, has shrunk, and air gets into the bottle, turning it into vinegar (at least partially). Keeping the bottles on their sides is the way to prevent this, since the wine keeps the cork moist and expanded, which prevents air from getting-in.

Strainer. And if the cork disintegrated, chances are the wine is bad. But the proof is in the pudding, or wine, as the case may be.

Well then, I guess I can now say that OJ did not commit murder. Thank goodness! After all, he "won" his trial.

Not in the "wait for Randy to stop and throw it at him" kind of way. They also should have put him in motion, maybe moving him to the slot. But hey, Norv wants his long ball.

When I saw that former UDFA Grant Irons was starting for the Raiders, I was happy for him...but realized how bad the Raiders' defense was (going to be). The ineptitude on defense was not as bad as that on the offense. With Moss having an 8" height advantage over Tyrone Poole, they should have been tossing the ball up for grabs to Moss all night.

Hard to judge the Pats' O-line overall based on last night. The Raiders have a PATHETIC pass rush (their leading sacker last year had 4 whole sacks, and they added no one), and they were using a 3-man line most of the night with little blitzing. But that being said, the Pats didn't move the ball up and down on the Raiders, which makes me think they're not as good offensively. Good. I think they'll have trouble with teams with good defenses, especially away from the confines of The Pad (formerly the Razor, now that P&G bought out Gillette).

Hey HF, did you happen to catch the Pats last night? Dillon had a negative rushing average for most of the 1st half. It's called stamin and wearing down a defense.

With Simon on the same D-line as Freeney, yes I think it's an upgrade on defense for the Colts. And Jackson will be no worse than what they've had. Should make for fun playoffs!

Well, Gallery was labelled a "can't-miss" by virtually everyone. Proving that the draft is a highly inexact science.

Hopefully he brings his Cinci attitude. Earlier in the game it looked like he had it.

Madden's gone next year, right? If so, thank god! He's sucked for years, and that PREDATES the Brady tongue rectal.

Free ICE! Oh yeah, good to hear you're alright, CBB.

Almost as stupid as the "tuck" rule, you know, the one where you can be bring the ball back TO your body and still be considered to be in the act of throwing it forward?

At the very BEST you could say it was a "catch" under the Bert Emanuel rule, i.e. where the receiver has his hands around the ball and is in control even though it touches the ground, but since the ball moved, it's a non-catch. And it's a stupid rule. The ball should not be allowed to touch the ground, period.

It was. Michaels said that the upstairs review booth signalled that they'd looked at it and judged it was incomplete. If you have TIVO, go back and listen for it.
