Billick was live on the NFL Network two hours ago saying that he hasn't had any contact with the Bills.

Same here, to me it's a non-issue. The system works just fine as it is. Everyone is well aware going in that the best two teams in the conference are going to be rewarded with a bye. Some seasons produce tighter playoff races than others. I really don't see the controversy or need to change anything.

So, should we hate them or Jerry Sullivan more?

It has to be very close between Crayonz and DC Tom.

I believe so...

Just illustrating the folly of the Maybin selection.

Glad to see you're still around.

Do I dare tell him about PPP?

Zactly. I'll believe it when I hear it from either COWHER or the BILLS. Until then it's just speculation.

I'm not believing it until it's more official.

That's all right, up until a couple of weeks ago, people were actually saying things like that and meaning it.

In the dictionary, under "S" you will find... Sarcasm.

First, why does the NFL charge full price for preseason games then? Second, you're looking at it from a fans perspective and I'm thinking of the team's right. The regular season is all about positioning yourself in the playoffs. I'm o.k. with a team packing it in once they gain the best playoff position possible. I don't think that 1 or 2 meaningless games at the end of the regular season is the end of the world.

No doubt, it is absurd. It's absolutely ridiculous. The league has all of these rules to protect QB's from injury i.e. can't lead with the helmet, can't tackle above the shoulders, can't lunge at the knees, can't take them down hard, better not make contact after a step and a half after they release the ball, and they allow holding on almost every play YET the want teams to expose the same franchise QB's in meaningless games at the end of the season. That makes sense.

Poz's strength is in his hair. If he cuts it, he may be susceptible to all sorts of injury.

I really don't get all of the hoopla surrounding this issue. If you accomplish your regular season goal of locking down a playoff spot and can't advance your position in the final week or two, then you deserve to play the schedule out the way you see fit. Should you also penalize teams that finish with 0-6 wins because they are playing meaningless games at the end of the season as well? To the victor go the spoils. So what if there are a handful of meaningless games in week 17? Wait a week. So what if certain teams gain an advantage by playing teams who are packing it in? Handle your own business and secure your own invitation. I can't stand the crying about this anymore. What's next? Are we going to start handing out ninth place ribbons?

I could go for a gin-n-squirt!

Patience grasshopper. We intentionally drafted a project DE with the #11 overall pick. He's not even supposed to be good for 3-4 more years. So relax, the plan is right on schedule!

Youse guys are crackin me up.

No doubt. A team earns the right to rest players if they've locked up their playoff position. Sorry if the commish doesn't like it.

Exactly. Is a franchise with a 10 year playoff drought supposed to be immune to criticism?

I agree. I don't understand the Sully bashing that goes on around here.

I really don't think that's the angle. He's Bill Cowher for Christ's sake. It's widely known that his asking price is ten mil per with some control. He is one guy that doesn't need to play the leverage game. Plus if he does want to coach this year, his list of suitors has shrunk over the past few weeks.

Damn Finkle, do you think I make this **** up?

I saw a report yesterday suggesting that the Jets may consider trashing their entire coaching staff for Cowher. First year head coach with a rookie QB likely to make the playoffs today and they're going to blow it up?
