This can't be Earth, and there's no way to tell for sure what planet I'm on... This team was supposed to be worse than last year. What could explain this? I've got to think that we vastly underestimated this offensive line. I mean, we can B word about individual efforts and transgressions, but at the end of the day, they've given Fitz the time he's needed again and again. I, for one, saw nothing close to that kind of ability from this group.

I guess that makes you smarter than George Brett.

The funny thing about those "weird feelings" is that we only tend to remember the ones that coincidentally come through. That said, I sometimes think that this front office uses the same method to make personel decisions, so maybe you're on to something.

Don't you hate pants?

This thread should be about who the this board would bash if Sully moved on. For crying out loud...I'm sure the Bengals columnist for the Cincinnati Enquirer was all all sunshine and lollipops during the 90s. Really, what should the ratio of positive to negative stories be with this team for the last decade? I'd love to hear what TBD thinks the correct number is.

I really don't see how Sullivan got "destroyed" by Nix during the press conference yesterday. Nix's response was ambiguous, at best. Sullivan was simply given the run-around by an organization that takes more care in keeping secrets than it does in evaluating talent. The people who hate on Sullivan remind me of the Sabres fans that boo players like Zdeno Chara. They don't necessarily have any reason to do it, but like Pavlov's dog, they salivate at the opportunity.

Being aggressve is a winning strategy. Get me a coach that knows that, and I'm on board.

The bottom line is that a FG doesn't end the game.

I would go for it, too. I actually hope he makes it for the good of football coahcing.

This team is nauseating. Not just in their offense, but in their injuries, coaching, stupidiity, and talent.

Look at how quick Coughlin is with the challenge flag.

DJ would have been a fine coach back in the 60s.

Um...Homerun Throwback?

No...I don't feel better. It's clear there's a fear of losing in these players, and they'll never win big games that way. It's a joke for the fans and the players.

Really? A losing culture breeds losing players. Why give this team the time of day? It only hurts.

I agree. T.O. makes the Bills better just by freeing up Lee from the double teams. Of that, there's little question in my mind. Will the O-line be able to give Trent 3 seconds to throw? Maybe by week 8.

Also the plays that DJ has the smallest impact on.

Bruschi: "We've always respected the Bills' special teams." Kind of tells you which parts of the team they never respected, huh?

Just in case you were interested (from http://espn.go.com/page2/s/list/2004nflplayoffgames.html): 6. Merry Christmas, Miami! Dolphins 27, Chiefs 24, OT (AFC semis, Dec. 25, 1971) At halftime, the game was tied, 10-10. Back and forth it went in the second half: Chiefs up 17-10, Dolphins tie it; Chiefs up 24-17, Dolphins tie it. But it looked like the Chiefs had it won when Ed Podolak, having one of the greatest individual games in NFL history, returned a kickoff 78 yards to the Miami 22, putting Kansas City in field goal position with little time left. But Hall of Famer kicker Jan Stenerud missed wide right from 31 yards. The first OT period passed with only two real scoring opportunities, a blocked Stenerud attempt from 42 yards out, and a Gary Yepremian miss from 52 yards. Finally, midway through the second OT, Yepremian hit a 37-yarder for the win. The longest game in NFL history -- 82 minutes, 40 seconds -- was over. "It was a horrifying experience, because one break is going to be the game" said Chiefs QB Len Dawson of the overtimes. Podolak's great performance is often forgotten because the Chiefs lost (their only home loss of the 1971 season). He scored two TDs, caught eight passes for 110 yards, rushed 17 times for 85 yards, and returned three kicks for 154 yards.

Playoff overtime continues until someone scores, regardless of how many overtime "quarters" it takes to finish the game. Your scenario is impossible because of this.

Hyperbole has been the hip thing in American sports broadcasting for at least a decade now, and it tends to make me want to stab myself repeatedly. That said, I don't think Collinsworth is any more guilty than most of his colleagues, and he's by no means the worst.

Actually, it's the best idea of them all, and the most "fair." You eliminate the cause if this stupid thread, and that's the coin toss.
