I didn't notice Butler too much, he had a great pull on the 2nd Lynch touchdown. The Raiders line generally was bullying us through most of the first three quarters. Tommy Kelly is a tough player. Surprised you didn't mention Peters' struggles. He truly had a brutal game. Chambers came in for him for a series after he gave up the sack/fumble.

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3602536 saw him play a few weeks ago and he really jumped off the screen as a tremendous playmaker who, I thought, would go on to a great pro career. Shocking how quickly whole lives can change. And in football they really are putting their health on the line every day. I was holding my breath in the stands just yesterday when Ellison crumpled to the ground not moving.

just curious if there are sites that have rosters that show how many years are left on the player's contract. Would make it easier to gauge what are major needs could be after this season.

you see great offense, I see terrible defense. Have you ever seen receivers that open downfield against the Bills (maybe excluding the 2nd Pats game last year).

how are all these receivers so open?

I swear somebody did this back in the late 80s. I think it may have been Jerry Rice or another 49er. I was too young at the time for my memory to be completely trustworthy, but the play has always stuck in my mind. The reciever spiked the ball forward as crossing the plane.

its all about Westbrook

i guess it was to hide the fact we had two guys back there. I'm not sure what that accomplishes.

yesterday neither the Jets or Pats looked better than either the Bills or Jags, imo

McFadden is dangerous if he has a big hole. He's a fumbler though, and not that shifty. I don't see next week's game being too close (knock on wood). Also Al Davis could fire Kiffin at any moment.

yeah, there were some blatant non-calls where McCargo and Kelsay were being dragged down from behind.

I agree with every word of this

he seems delusional

Kelso was a teacher for years in East Aurora and now works for the Bills Radio Network. Kurt Schulz works at Merrill Lynch in Buffalo I think Reuben still lives here.

linebacker, receiving threat TE, and possibly a DT if there is a stud out there to replace McCargo (if by the end of the year the coaches think he's done here)

on Marshawn's TD run this past week, Evans had a great block, and so did Brad Butler, who took out the linebacker at the second level

hopefully he'll never be quite the same - see Carson Palmer or even better, Daunte Culpepper. another great thing about the Pats misfortune is how that team has been built. It's defense is getting very old and their window for overwhelming success is only as long as Brady's an effective qb. So 5 or 6years is probably a safe bet - rarely do players play very well into their late 30s. This is a year, if not more, lost. Will Moss still be around when he gets back, will he be as good a year older? There's a lot of questions.

that's hilarious. Watching the pats defense last year it seemed that all their old linebackers did was dive at knees.

definitely not what i envisioned players doing after a game. cool that you met him, he played well.

Jags lost to basically a quarterbackless team today. But I like being the underdog anyway.

I miss Hargrove. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Watching highlights to get me fired up and he's in a lot of them. The dude is nuts.

also I heard on WGR and saw at profootballtalk that Bell is inactive today, but wasn't in the text or in Chris Brown's blog

word from WGR is that he came in to OTA's overweight and was in the coaches' doghouse. Could be a way to give him a wake up call that he's really got to step up and this year is his last chance.

very strange about McCargo.... maybe we really are shopping him. But we'd have to have somebody to bring in. Only 3 DTs is concerning Just to clarify: Steve Johnson is inactive, not Spencer. Plus Murphy and Fine

Give them a break. Seattle has the furthest geographic distance between themselves and any other NFL team in the league by a huge margin. They play in the weakest division in the weaker conference, which has made making the playoffs almost automatic for them since they switched to the NFC six years ago. It's probably easy to lose perspective.
