Was that the 20 yarder to Evans? I can't remember who was on the receiving end. I was on the other side of the stadium so I didn't have the greatest view. What I saw was a pass whose flightpath acted like the ball had some topspin. I didn't see anyone in position to tip it, but of course they didn't show a replay which showed the whole flight of the ball. Are you sure?

Officiating must have been horrendous when Charger fans were agreeing with the Bills fans that the officials were hosing the Bills.

Bills have beat the spread for 4 straight. I see the earliest line has Jets by 3.5. The odds-makers are finally wising up to the Bills. When will you?

You don't recognize any progress since camp? He's coming along as far as I'm concerned. He's earned a year 2 after the injury evaluation as far as I'm concerned. In other words, he has a minimum of the next training camp to prove himself or, morely likely, the whole of next season.

Most egregiously twisted interpretation of a rule since the Brady tuck. In the vein of making up something to justify your second payout for the game( the one the league does not know about ). In fairness, I believe Huculi(sp) is just an incompetent fool.

An ignoramus, that's what you are by definition. Nascar-like. Consideration for others an alien concept to you and your ilk.

And it wasn't snowy or cold in their already completed visits this year. I've researched their schedule. They haven't encountered cold this season, yet.

It's a question of acclimation, not if the Bills have played in a cold weather game. The Bills have been living in a region where the mean temp for the last month has been about 45 degrees. The Chargers have been living in a mean 60. It takes 1 - 4 days for partial acclimation, > 10 for full. The difference the Chargers are going to feel is going to be far worse than the Bills by a factor of 2. The weather is GOING to make a difference.

After he re-hired him?

The forecast for Saturday is even worse with a high of 36 and high winds. I'm very confident that we're going to have some traditional Buffalo Bills weather for our SD guests.

Up to the minute forecast: High of 32 with snow flurries. SD has not seen weather like this since last season. I like our chances. They're going to turn it over 2 more times than the Bills.

I'm convinced the reasons for the non-sellouts are: CHI 40 - Buff 7 DET 20 - Buff 17 NE 28 - Buff 6 Also, the casual fan thought Losman was the problem, not outside factors (viz: the coaches and gameplans and forced learning curve). It's too late to jump on the bandwagon, though it might yet happen if the Bills somehow win the next two.

Nor his car, where he probably is.

And nobody factors in jet lag? The West coast teams playing an Eastern team at 1 P.M. are getting up 3 hours earlier with no acclimation time. It makes a difference in producing less than stellar performances.

Easiest thing in the world to selectively enforce holding when the game is going the 'wrong' way. Don't say officials do it all that consciously, but it happens to the underdog more than the favorite. If the holding rule was consistently enforced, we would have a lot more low scoring games.

Just like Chicago was leagues ahead of Miami. SD is a very good team, but they're not demi-gods. They are not 60 point favorites. When the media jumps on board, watch out. What's their motivation? To get out of Buffalo as soon as possible. The Bills would love to take them down a notch and continue their march. This game means a ton more to the Bills.

One thing about setting the odds; it's more a measure of public perception than reality. The last 3 games I believe the Bills beat the point spread by 7. 6 , and 6. It may have more than 7 for Indy, I don't remember. The point is that the public doesn't wise up to a team until they lose betting against them for 4 straight, in general. If the Bills win or come extremely close to winning, the under the radar days will be over.

Yeah, that was one of Mularkey's gems of coaching. It was the game I decided that he didn't have a clue as a HC.

Making use of the 13th man....the wintry weather of the Ralph.

Last year we had a muttonhead HC who wanted Losman to improve by riding the bench and talking to the ballboys. Worse, we had a dic*head GM who went along with that strategy.

Don't apologize; that's the kind of reverse karma we need. Now forget that we are playing the Chargers next week!

Let them be a pissed as they want to be. They will get a dose of winter next weekend. They can blame that.

I like them against the Jets, considering the Jets. their fans, and media types have all inked in the Bills game as win for a month. Bills beating SD wouldn't make any difference to those morons' thinking.

There will be prizes given for the last of the anti-Losman holdouts. You're definitely in the money.

I'd say there was no chance. It's a good week if they sell 1000 tickets for the coming game in the second half of the season. 7000 tickets > $210,000. Nobody, including Ralph, is going to pick that up.
