I wish Austin Pettis had gone to a different team. I sure hope playing for the Rams doesn't kill his career, as I think Bradford could make a lot of receivers look bad.

Bradford got seven draft picks in WR and TEs, with only one of them being taken in the fourth round. He's got one first rounder, 4 2nd rounders and 3 3rd rounders. And somehow he is unable to do anything with them.

The announcers were making excuses like "bad OL" for him, but really? He had at least as much time as half the other QBs in the league and managed to do nothing.

If I had to make a wager, Thanas, it would be that Haloti Ngata lines up over Colin Brown all game. Not because Colin Brown is the worst left guard in football...no, wait, exactly for that reason.
Many thanks! These darned computers always screw me up. I calculated my first death-toll using a hand-cranked adding machine (we actually calculated the average mortality in each city block individually). Ah, those were the days.

Our two NTs are both out so Haloti will either play NT or Canty will. But yeah, you're probably correct.

We have been using Ngata more inside this season and spelled him with a regular NT on some run downs.

BTW Falkenhayn, I was going to suggest a sig bet, but I am not sure if you want to do one.

Would you take a sig bet if your team gave up a 52% conversion rate on 3rd and Long?

If you'd want to follow one player on the Bills D, follow Kiko Alonso. Possibly the steal of the draft. Through 3 games, he's got 27 Tackles, a sack, a FF, 2 Int, 2 PD, and no picture on NFL.com.

Maybe because were down 13 and Ray Rice got 13 yards on 8 rushes?

Right. But you're playing the Bills. I still give you a chance in 2 of winning this game.

Our OL still sucks. I don't know what McKinnie is thinking. So far, Flacco, Dallas Clark, Torrey Smith and Marlon Brown are the only ones earning their paychecks on O today.

Our offense consists of Marshal Yanda, Joe Flacco and Torrey Smith. Nothing else.

Thanks to our defence that we are only down by 6 now.

That the Ravens will get anxious and hit EJ Manuel in the pocket. Which the Ravens Defense just did.

So.....we deserved to lose that game. We did. Our ground game is abysmal. Ray Rice is playing like a scrub. Our OL is worse.


However, that last penalty was BS. If Manuel is running around trying to kill clock, you are allowed to hit him.
