The tarps have been approved by the NFL to allowe them to help sell-out. I think they've been allowed to cover 10K seats or so. It's the remaining seats that I'm calling BS on and think that the day of the NFL game blackout is soon over. I'm betting that when LA gets a team, the networks demand that no LA games get blacked-out.

The Bills have been playing Nate off of the WR's for years now, and it's been maddening. He's got the skills to be a man-to-man cover guy and to disrupt WR's' routes coming off the LOS, but they insisted on playing him off. Well the past few weeks he's been manning-up and doing a lot better. I think the Bills will get right of first refusal on any contract offer he gets in FA. Unless they work-out a deal first.

Maybe the bonus was a roster bonus, a la what they did with Antoine?

Get (George, not Ralph) Wilson out there!

I don't know if the Bills will give out a 7-year deal. Also recall that Minny was WAY under the cap and wanted to make the deal almost impossible to match, which they did by adding the poison pill in it.

According to NFL.com, last night's game in Jax was sold out. And interestingly enough, after the new, huge contracts were in place, ALL games have sold-out through the first 10 weeks. Hmmmmm.

He got an $18.5M bonus on a 7-year deal.

A $20M bonus for either guy? No friggin' way! Bentley got a $13.6M signing bonus and he actually made the Pro Bowl.

I read on another board that they DID use the 4-4 in the 2nd half, with Wire in in place of Ellison.

RJ's problems were a) he'd rather take a sack than throw the ball away, even if it meant running OOB behind the LOS with the ball and b) he was too fragile, and with the number of sacks JP's taken, RJ would have been injured 4 times at least by now. I didn't so much mind the sacks since he showed he could overcome them, it's that they led to injury with him.

Whose mother, and link? I don't recall hearing EITHER player's mother was from Buffalo or the surrounds.

Eli got the Giants to the playoffs? Sure. Just like Big Ben won the SB.

Wooops! Good thing I didn't BET THE HOUSE!

MNF street cred.

It worked!

I've seen "better" QB's do the same thing. Yep.

Coulda used some of these goals against the Sens.

Thanks for that. And I thought that JP's INT was tipped ever so slightly at the line, but it wasn't. Although the point about him having the sun in his face could be used.

The Giants are even more injured. And they'll still win.

Who wants to move him back to RT? And he's making about $3M a year, which is still a bargain.

Too bad Belichick doesn't have the class that Jeff Fisher does. But hey, the ends justify the means, right?

Yep. I'm glad Peerless gave us a glimpse into the huddle like that.

The Chargers have one of the better O-lines in the NFL.

Belichick's defenses have always played dirty.

I remember Jennings saying that Wilfork headbutted him and gave him a concussion back a couple years ago.
