Oh you just can't see that enough!

I would say one of the following: - Neufeld - Three wides, one back - Two wides, two tight ends, one back Since Neufeld is basically a TE and a FB, they could do a few things with him.

Now all we need is some optimism for our 3rd down defense.

Why bring me into this?

If he does, that would mean Brad Butler would already be out there...which is a thought I'd rather not have again.

This was written by Jerry Markbreit (former NFL ref extraordinaire) in 2004. I don't know if it still applies, but I'm pretty sure it does. This was from this source. There was also this snippet from a TMQ article written late last year (November 2005): It's at this link.

Can't really argue with any of that too much. The only one I see differently is the San Diego game, but it depends greatly on how Rivers is coming along by then. I see 8-8.

Well that right there is enough to convince me this year will be better than last year in many ways.

Let's just say "I'll believe it when I see it."

Didn't Ko change from 40 to 30?

I think we kept him for his receiving skills. My favorite play: swing pass out to the fullback, who gets creamed as soon as he catches it for a 2-yard loss.

Wow, what a coincidence...my dad lived right around there on Chapel Woods. I remember going to OJ's house at least once. Didn't Schoenfeld also live around there?

Since we now have the final opening day roster, we can consider this challenge closed and determine the winner. The successful entries are from: 34-78-83 Stl Bills Nick in RaChaCha McGill Bill BILLS4LIFE Dibs As per the rules, ties are resolved randomly by me. Since there are 6 winning entries, I'll assign each a number and roll a die to determine the winner. I'll do this in the next day or two to allow people to make sure I haven't missed anyone, and I'll announce the winner here and by PM.

Kind of ironic that he's now in Canyon, as opposed to Canton.

I went to set the TiVo to record the game tomorrow...says on the NFL Network web site that it's on at 1pm Saturday...but when I bring up the guide on DirecTV, it says the 1pm game is Philly-Baltimore. Can't find the Bills anywhere. Think it's an error?

I'm with you.

If Holcomb threw a pick for a TD and fumbled it away twice in one half, I can only imagine the reaction here.

A 285lb quarterback? What's not fascinating about that?

Waiter, check please!

Oh yes, there will be boobies.

That's one reason I really like watching at a sports bar. Commercial hits, and you still have games going on all around you, people going apesh!t, friends to talk to, etc.

I will say this. I went to a few NBA games (Jazz) back when they had Stockton and Malone, but I never really liked it that much. The biggest reason: during commercial breaks, all hell would break loose in the stadium. Every TV break would result in some kind of overhyped, loud, obnoxious, sponsored event, which usually involved the shooting of T-shirts into a mindless rabid crowd, or some ridiculously unentertaining "race" between animated food products on the scoreboard. I couldn't stand that stuff. I used to love going to Bills games, but when I went back to a game a couple of years ago, suddenly Rich Stadium had become Ralph Wilson Stadium/NBA arena. The "success" of the NBA commercial breaks had spread like a virus into my mecca. It was depressing. I miss the "Mighty Taco" song.

True, although I distinctly remember thinking to myself earlier this year, in April, "Who the f*ck is Donte Whitner?!"

If we can reach the halfway point at 3-5 or better, I'd be satisfied.

You got that far? I read something about "AARP jokes" and Donte Whitner being a "reach" and I couldn't take it anymore.
