Albany,n.y.

All I could think of when the anthem started was the Saturday Night Live skit the night before when Horatio Sanz was playing the guy & Keenan Thompson was Areatha. Sanz started laughing in the middle when he was imitating the singer, and I didn't know why until he did the anthem just like Horatio had done the night before.

First off, let me state I'm not a fan of Warren Moon. I don't think he belongs in the hall. I don't think putting up stats because A) he was lucky enough to play in a run and shoot offense that inflated his #s and B) he was durable enough to last a long time makes one a Hall of Famer. I'm also not a fan of wife beaters & (excuse the pun) chokers like Moon was when he got into playoff games. Now, about the racism stuff when he came out of college. The real truth is Warren Moon would have been a mid round pick and instead of having the guts to try to earn a job as a QB in the NFL, he signed a contract with the CFL in March of 1978. The NFL Draft was May 2, 1978 and here's something a lot of people convieniently forget. THE 17TH PICK IN THE 1ST ROUND OF THE 1978 DRAFT WAS DOUG WILLIAMS! So, my question is, if the climate in 1978 was so against Black Quarterbacks, how the hell did Doug Williams go 17th in the whole draft, yet Warren Moon felt he wouldn't be given a fair shot and fled to Canada as a draft dodger. Maybe if Moon had waited until the day of the draft, he would have been drafted a lot higher than he thought. Instead he claimed he had to go to Canada because he was a BlacK QB in the same year a Black QB gets picked in the 1st round. Also, why did Moon spend 6 years in Canada. I'm sure he could have gotten out sooner if he had the guts to try the NFL sooner, especially after Williams proved to be successful in Tampa Bay. Warren Moon-Draft Dodger, Wife Beater, & a poor choice for the Hall Of Fame!

Pittsburgh reminds me of the 1992-3 Bills. So: Seattle 52 Pittsburgh 17

If she was truly the greatest football fan, her biography would read: Born in Baltimore, the sister was awakened in the middle of the night by the Mayflower moving vans as the Colts left town. She was such a die hard fan she drove through the night following the vans until they stopped in Indianapolis. She then immediately took up residence in Indianapolis to be with her Colts, and petitioned her church for a permanent transfer to Indianapolis. She has attended every Colts game in Indianapolis and has vowed to never go to a Super Bowl unless her beloved Colts were participating.

Only when the Bills are in it & I'm still in the Super Bowl city. I haven't missed work on the Monday after the Super Bowl since 1994, when I awoke Monday morning in Marietta, Georgia and it was too far to commute into work.

It depends on how our D plays. Good: Few L -lots of wins, Fuel-his D fuels our victory train, Bad: FooL-he's a dumb@ss, Foo,L-after another loss

Here is some of Vince Young's scouting report from NFL draft scout: Vince is one of the finest athletes in the collegiate game. He has excellent quickness, agility, balance and body control rolling out of the pocket. He has a tall, angular physique with good upper body muscle development, tight abdomen, fluid hips and thick thighs and calves. His change of direction agility and foot speed is outstanding for his position. He is an instinctive runner, but has struggled with the mental aspect of reading defenses in passing situations, resulting in 28 interceptions as a starter. He relies a lot on his foot speed and strength to gain positive yardage when flushed out of the pocket, but despite lofty statistics, you can see that the "light is not on" all the time when it comes to making proper reads and reacting quickly to schemes and coverages (see 2005 Ohio State and Texas A&M games and 2004 Oklahoma and Missouri contests). Young shows very good quickness and the ability to throws off sprint and roll-out action. He looks more comfortable in the shotgun, but has improved his ability as a junior when dropping back from center. He can get a quick push away from the line of scrimmage in his drops, but looks hesitant when his primary target is covered and is more apt to run with the ball than make proper route progression reads to locate his secondary receivers. Unless he plays in a spread offense at the next level, it will take quite a bit of time for him to start getting comfortable operating out of the pocket. As a passer, he needs to refine his mechanics. He has an awkward throwing motion that has resulted in more than a handful of his throws getting batted down by the taller defensive linemen at the line of scrimmage. He does a poor job of adjusting his release to the situation and while he is good at creating plays, his timing and ball placement lack consistency. He throws a decent spiral on short to intermediate tosses and has the arm strength to air the ball out on long routes, but is prone to forcing the ball into tight coverage (see 2005 Ohio State and Texas A&M games and 2004 Rice, Missouri and Oklahoma State clashes). He has the ability to pick apart zones, but has yet to develop the patience needed to do so. While the receiver will be forced to adjust on occasion when Young throws to the short-to-intermediate areas, he does show good touch. He seems to have a better understanding of when to zip the ball when working underneath and has shown decent improvement when firing into tight coverage away from the defender. Young has enough arm strength to lay the ball out for the receiver to run under, but his long throws tend to hang. He keeps the ball too low in his release point and looks like a shot putter on his long throws, taking a windmill-type of wind-up on the seams and deep outs. He lacks consistency trying to put the ball on the outside shoulder of his target and it is rare that the receiver will be hit in stride. With that long throwing arc he displays, he does not always follow through. There is no questioning his competitiveness, but it sometimes gets in the way of his judgment. He will try to improvise too much and while some say he is cool under pressure, anyone that examines the 2005 Ohio State and Texas A&M games might say that he is really oblivious to the blitz, at times. He needs to stand in and deliver, but because of his lack of pocket awareness, he will get in trouble by firing into a crowd or taking off with the ball at inopportune times (28 interceptions, 29 fumbles in 37 games). In 2005, Vince took better control in the huddle. He is not really a vocal leader, but is confident in his ability to be assertive when the need arises. He is well liked and respected by his teammates and proved in quite a few games that he can rally the team and remain composed down the stretch (see 2006 Rose Bowl). Young displays good peripheral vision and can step up and out to avoid pressure and buy time, but relies too much on his raw instincts rather that read the defenses and go through progression reads. He does not check down in time and must do a better job of keeping his head on a swivel. When he holds the ball too long and locks on to his primary target, the result is usually seeing him tucking the ball and running with it rather than throwing the pigskin away. Vince did learn how to take some heat off his short throws, especially on dump-offs and can drop it in over the top when he sets his feet properly before throwing. He is not that effective hitting his receivers in stride on the long bombs, though. He seems to be on the page better when working with his backs and tight ends, but did make some long ball improvement during his junior season. As a scrambler, he has few peers, rivaling Atlanta's Michael Vick in the elusiveness he shows avoiding the pass rush. He demonstrates very good head fades and the loose hips to make the initial tackler miss, but has had serious ball security issues running with the ball (29 fumbles). He has the straight-line speed to win most of the foot races and has the hip snap to sidestep pass rushers. If the chance arises, Vince is more apt to break tackles and move the chains rather than sit back and wait for his targets to get open. On sheer athletic ability, Vince has many NFL teams salivating for his services. He is still too raw of a product to step into the action at the next level and has to totally refine his throwing mechanics. While many compare him to Michael Vick, you have to wonder if either of them will develop into a solid pocket passer. Much like Vick, thoughts of Akili Smith (Bengals) run through your mind when you see Young play. Still, I see him more as a Donovan McNabb type - if given time to develop under patient coaching, the world could be his oyster. If he is "thrown to the wolves" and forced to produce before he is ready, it could damage his confidence level and prove to be a costly early first round draft decision. Scouting Report Positives…Has excellent size, functional strength, room for more growth on his developing frame and excellent balance, body control and foot speed…Quick-footed athlete who does a very good job throwing off the sprint and roll-out action…Assertive in the huddle and has good confidence in his ability to improvise…Has better accuracy on his short throws, understanding when to zip the ball…Has a natural feel for avoiding the rush, sliding and eluding with his foot speed. Knows when to take something off his dump-off throws…Can break tackles and move chains with his valid feet and leg drive…Easily eludes defensive linemen and linebackers in the open field…Shows much better accuracy when throwing on the run…Best when rolling away from the pocket, as he can pick apart defenses better when the opponent has to chase after him…Shows very good composure in pressure situations. Negatives…Needs total refinement of his throwing motion…Has a very low release than allows defensive linemen to deflect the pass at the line of scrimmage…Lacks ideal field awareness and struggles to read complicated coverages…Does a poor job of making progression reads, failing to look off his primary targets…Has a "run first" mentality when his protection breaks down, but does a poor job of protecting the ball on the run, resulting in 29 fumbles in 37 games…Can fire the ball into tight areas, but when he attempts to go long, his passes hang up in the air, allowing the defense to settle under the ball to make the interception. Looks awkward with his footwork driving back from center and looks more comfortable working out of the shotgun…Must do a better job of anticipating the receivers breaks on his deep tosses (too many times the receiver has to adjust to make the catch)…Anyone that saw his up-&-down performances in the 2005 Ohio State and Texas A&M games can see that he does not have ideal decision-masking skills (will look like Bambi staring at the headlights of a truck at times).

The team was 4-10 with no shot at the playoffs & Meathead still wouldn't play JP. So he wins the Cincy game & costs us the 3rd pick in the draft & then bolts to Buffalo's biggest enemy. It's like the Dolphins planted him here to screw up the Bills & then brought him home like the Russians do with their spies.

He has to make the team 1st, before anyone worries how many carries he gets. A 7th round pick who was inactive for almost every game (I think he was active for 1 or 2 at most) has some serious improvement to make before he can get some carries. Either that or the last coaching staff was a bunch of idiots.

Come on, get real. You know Jauron has to pay Ralph money to coach. Ralph is not going give someone such a dream job for free.

He's already been waived off the team, we need a new secret weapon-how about Lawrence Smith?

I'd say it doesn't look good for JP. When Marv was asked what he thought about the QB situation on his WGR show before he was GM, Marv said you play the player who gives you a better chance to win the game, and you develop young players in practice, not on the field on gameday. I'm sure the QB situation came up in the coach interviews & anyone who said they would let JP develop next year at the expense of victories was not given a second thought in the final decision on HC. This leads me to believe Jauron answered winning now is more inportant than developing a QB of the future. The only thing I'm not sure of is if Marv will bring in a 3rd QB to compete for the starting job. He basically called Holcomb's jet game a disaster, which may mean Marv feels "None of the above" might be the answer to the Bills QB situation.

Are you talking about JP the QB or Marv the GM?

From Karate Kid "Wax On, Wax Off"

Jauron is very similar to Ron Jaworski (Jaws) backwards, so the first name can be something like Lackawanna Quarterback, we all know words for Dick-pick one that's least offensive & presto-you've got Lackawanna Quarterback Member.

I wanted the Bills to hire Steve Spurrier off his USFL days. When Marv was announced, I was like-they just got another mediocre retread. The thing was, if you look at the 1986 press guide, Marv is mentioned in Polian's bio. So, it was basically a done deal that as soon as Polian could find a reason to fire Bullough & bring in Marv, he was going to do it.

I just did a count & the # of teams that have made the playoffs that were not within 2 wins of best record in the conference (or league the 1st 4 SBs) is 130 give or take a couple. So if Pittsburgh wins they'll be doing something 130 teams before them haven't done. I'll take the type of odds that Denver has of winning the game 24/7.

No. Under all circumstances, nobody's done it in 40 years.

1st one of the two teams would have to move to a different division. NE only made the Bledsoe trade because they knew they were screwing over TD.

Don't bet on Pittsburgh. As I've stated before-no team has ever made the Super Bowl that was not within 2 wins of best record in the conference. To bet a 3 point underdog, you have to think they'll win the game outright. Pittsburgh would have to do something that no other team in the 40 year history of the game has done. Unless you're a really wreckless gambler, don't do it!

From KFFL: Jets | Heimerdinger wants out of contract Thu, 19 Jan 2006 21:46:11 -0800 Karen Crouse, of the New York Times, reports New York Jets offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger wants to be released from the team's coaching staff. The Jets, through their spokesman, Ron Colangelo, said Thursday evening, Jan. 19, that Heimerdinger had been retained to run the offense under the new head coach, Eric Mangini. But Heimerdinger's agent said his client wished to be released from his contract and was being kept on the Jets' staff against his will. "That is what is so incredulous to me, because this just doesn't add up," Heimerdinger's agent, Robert LaMonte, said last night. "I just hope we can get beyond this." Heimerdinger's stance, according to two people close to him is basically this: If the Jets did not consider him valuable enough to promote, why do they want him to stay?

All of the Bills coaches with > .500 records have been retreads. Saban, Knox, Levy, even Phillips. Since Ralph has never been able to find the right assistant coach to promote, it might seem prudent at this time to bring in another retread.

No need to make up the 2nd sign, just find some lesbians who recently attended a parade and recycle.

That's your loss.

A woman from Ireland, now living in the USA is the favorite to win it all.
