What if he could get 1300? Do you think he could get 1300?

No, it was the 95 Chargers who did it, ended up going to the Super Bowl that year. Got spanked hard by San Fran.

I hope he's not. You mean you don't recognize him? Just ask Gee-Dubya. Him and the fat boy are good buddies.

Personally, I hope it involves Tom Brady and a medical search party.

Stop prodding. Stop it now.

Damn, I'm laughing so hard I can't stop

I agree...other guys have used the stiff arm successfully in this league but I have never seen defenders crumple like they do when Willis comes a-callin.

Yeah, when it was 7-3 I was feeling a little uncomfortable. But the way the defense was playing, I just told myself, "patience." McCown was completely lost out there, and I could tell it was just a matter of time before the Bills got themselves together and pulled away. You're right...haven't been able to feel that way for a long time.

True, but look at it this way: if we can't beat a team like Cincy on the road and Pittsburgh at home, we probably don't belong in the playoffs since we'd have to beat three monsters on the road to get through to the Super Bowl.

A solid running game and Drew connecting when he had to. Actually, the Browns did a pretty good job on Moulds today, and the Bills keept trying and trying to get him the ball. Once they decided to forget that and go to Evans, things really opened up.

If we can find a way to beat down Cincy, then next week it's: Jacksonville at Green Bay Baltimore at Indianapolis Denver at Kansas City Jets vs. Seattle Those are some very real possibilities for us...if things somehow fall into place and we win and JAX, BAL, and DEN lose (not to mention the JETS), things will be rockin here come this time next week.

It's a big 'if', but the way Denver is playing lately, anything can haappen with that team. They have two relatively tough road games coming. Jake the Snake can usually be counted on for some tough outings on the road.

Sorry, man, I gotta disagree with you big time. Fair catching at the 10 happens all the time, and teams most definitely do have their returners call for fair catches in those situations. Inside the 10, maybe not. Once the returner is down around the 5-10 yard line, the prudent thing is to let the ball go and hope that it rolls into the end zone. But if the returner is somewhere around the 10-15 yard line, you certainly do fair catch it. The worst thing you can do is to catch it and try to run with it, at least that's the worst choice most of the time. The reason you don't do that is that when the punt returner is positioned at the 10 yard line, that usually means the punting team is punting from somewhere around midfield. That means the coverage team has less field to cover and can get to the returner much earlier. When that happens, the chance of getting levelled right after making the catch is high, and the chance of a fumble is also high. On both of those punt returns, the receiver caught the punt with Cleveland players right nearby. That is a huge no-no. Those were very clear situations for fair catches, since Cleveland was also in great position to down the ball near the goal line if those punts are not caught. By the way, I just watched the Green Bay punt returner call for a fair catch at exactly the 10 yard line.

They do still play at Indy and at Pittsburgh, so there is always hope.

Uh, that's my point. Neither you nor anyone else know what was behind this. If you want to question the man's desire and commitment, go right ahead, but that's just jumping to some pretty big conclusions. I prefer to withhold judgement until I know the facts.

Are you serious?

Whatever happened to fair-catching punts at the 10 yard line?

This guy is playing like a man on a mission out there. How many times did he get penetration into the backfield? Seemed like almost every play. If he continues to play like this, we are in good shape.

That's a fantastic conclusion from all of the facts out there.

It didn't look so great, but if you look again the O-line had a great push up the middle and to the left, but McGahee ran to the right at first. If he just pops it up the middle he could have had a nice gain.

I wish I could drink Scotch. It just seems so damn cool. I just can't get past the part where it tastes like gasoline.

I thought the first tiebreaker (aside from head-to-head) is AFC record. No matter what happens, if the Bills and Jets end up tied at 10-6, the Jets will have a better AFC record. They have 7 AFC wins right now; the best we can have is 6.

Nice work! Good job.

Yeah, but Vick is mobile!

29 friggin catches for a guy who's making that kind of coin. What a travesty. That would be the same number as one Lee Evans. A rookie #2 WR.
