  1. At least we've answered that question.
  2. Well, I didn't say "only one" thing. I said one thing, and then followed it with another three. So there.
  3. I am totally loving the new unis. Including the helmets. And I was a big red helmet fan. And a big A+ for the blue end zones, too.
  4. Now that **** is just funny.
  5. Sweet, A+ for the wife. Wish I could be there.
  6. And while you're there, hit Nobu for dinner. Best restaurant on the planet.
  7. Seriously, how could anyone not just immediately drop what you're doing and watch all of it (again)?
  8. Jerry reserves the right to change his mind and opinion at any time and for any reason.
  9. I think the main source of the skepticism is the fact that they fell behind by so much in the OAK and NE* games. It's easy to view the "falling behind" part as an indication of potentially bad things behind the curtain, and the "coming back" part as just a sign of desperation that can't be maintained, rather than true power and ability. It's interesting, because the opposite is rarely true: in OAK and NE*'s cases, the jump to big early leads is seen as a reflection of their true power, while their failures at the end is viewed more as a fluke letdown rather than the result of an exploitation of their weaknesses.
  10. They're showing it again at midnight ET.
  11. Sweet! Loved the locker room clips afterward.
  12. I've been to Soldier Field and the old Indianapolis Dome (before Lucas Oil field), and neither one was anywhere close to the Ralph in terms of noise. But then again, I went to a Bears-Packers game where the Bears got spanked, and the Bills-Colts game I went to was in the early 90s when the Colts crapped the bed. So no surprise it was not loud in either place. Edit: the only other stadium I've watched the Bills at was in Madison for a Packers-Bills preseason game in the early 90s. It was an odd experience. The place was packed, and the fans were seriously into the game, even though it was a meaningless preseason game. When Kelly was hit going out of bounds and was shaken up, the place was roaring with approval, as though it made any difference. Those were some hard-core fans.
  13. Damn, I could watch these things all freaking day.
  14. I don't get it. All the Patriots* fans are saying they only lost because Brady gave us the game. How does that make us any good?
  15. Good points, as usual. It's almost as if we're completely, utterly unpredictable at this point. It seems like we could beat any team, or lose to any team. I sure as hell love watching them, though. I think I just need more time to figure out if this is all real.
  16. This is football, son.
  17. Holy crap. I could watch a hundred more of those. Thanks!!!
  18. Brady threw a pick in the first game of the year against the Fins on a screen pass. It was picked off by Jared Odrick, all 6'5" 305 lbs of him, and as he rambled down the field, Brady could be spotted barely even jogging after him. It was clearly obvious he didn't feel it was worth trying.
  19. Amen to that! I lived in Chicago for 8 years, and I'd go back there any day. Loved living there, I recommend it! Then again, I also love living in Utah. Winters here cannot be beat if you like the outdoors.
  20. The official Rubes prediction is to expect the unexpected! And I think everybody pretty much knows what that means...
  21. You're wondering why we might find it interesting that the team we're about to face, who is already down one very good TE, just cut their only other TE on the roster, who also happens to be from Buffalo?
  22. Sounds good to me. I think our offense is very good at exploiting zone defenses.
  23. The potential excuses for losing are rapidly disappearing.
  24. Perhaps. Personally, depending on how things end up, I can see us going for either an Offensive Tackle or an Outside Linebacker.
  25. I'm not so sure. Wasn't everybody predicting a tight, low-scoring game last week against Oakland? Things never quite seem to go as everyone expects.
