Ok, I went to the Bills-Atlanta game today...a few thoughts:
1. The refs love Vick. He got every call in the book today. Twice on the first drive he got kinda shoved and they called it roughing. Once he threw it into the back of the offensive line but there was no grounding call. At the end of the game, he tore off his helmet and stormed the ref because apparently they decided to review the fumble from the play before? Wtf?? For any other player that would be a personal foul and ejection, but for Vick they are like "Yes, how can I help you oh NFL savior?" Also, Atlanta was holding all over the place, tackling Bills blitzers, it was incredible. I don't watch many Falcons games; does this happen all the time?
2. Despite all that, Vick is great. He won me over today- he was scrambling all over the place, but still finding the open recievers. They people who say that he is not a legitimate NFL quarterback are fooling themselves. He looked very good.
3. Bills fans take heart, they looked a lot better than they did last week, especially on offense. They scored on the first three drives, and if the defense could have made a freakin stop they might have pulled it out. Hell, they needed a touchdown and a two pointer to tie it up and were on the Atlanta 30 with three minutes left, so they still had a chance right up to the end. Actually, it looks like they got it on 4th down there from where I was standing, and got screwed yet again on a call; however, I couldn't tell for sure. Basically, field goals and a touchdown or two will win games for the Bills, if their defense is as incredible as it is supposed to be. However, in the last two games they've just sucked- 400 yards allowed on the ground? C'mon Bills D, have some pride.

What the hell was Cowher keeping his timeout for?

steelers had called a timeout the play before.
goodbye steelers!
p.s. cowher didn't use the timeout because the pats had 0, which meant they would have to get the fg unit on the field and the ball snapped with the pressure of the clock running

There was more than 30 seconds left! Who the hell can't get a field goal unit out in that time? At least give your team a chance for a decent return and a long shot field goal. That was lame.

In reality? Not too much, he had no picks and two TDs, which weigh heavier than the 43% completion numbers. He probably had like an 80 point something rating. He did sail some passes and had the happy feet thanks to some shit interior blocking though.
What a sloppy game for the Pats and Steelers.
Running game was nonexistant and where the hell was the offensive line the whole day? Steelers laid an egg today, damnit, the frickin Bengals are in first place. My God.
P.S. It was only 2nd or 3rd down in the game, that's why they didn't use the timeout I think. The Pats could have just ran another play and gotten the clock started again, but Cowher still should have used it cuz who knows what can happen, botched snap, fumble, anything. The D was just out of energy and got gassed, again, by the short underneath passes. Again I say damnit.

he only did it cause it was 4th down and 3 seconds left. they weren't trying to score, just air it out so you dont have to punt. the ball was thrown almost completely out of bounds

Pats had no timeouts, they couldn't afford to start the clock again.
It was a long shot no matter what, but Cowher still fucked up by not taking it. That fucking play where El played hot biscuit with the ball really hurts now.

8-4 for me too, so far.
Bills loose and New England wins. My whole weekend is ruined.

10-2 with picks so far. Carolina lost and so did Arizona. :|
I am hoping I am wrong picking against the GMen.

Mooreberg said:What happened to Little Ben's passer rating? :lol
Ben didn't play that bad. He didn't play his best game but he drove us down 50 yards and tied the game after not being able to move the ball for almost 3 quarters. Every qb looks like shit when they have that much pressure in their face. Look at how ordinary Brady looked for most of the game when our defense was getting in his face. Defense just got tired at the end because they were on the field for the entire damn game. I can't believe how they just handled the Steelers's O line. That just isn't supposed to happen.
Still, we are going to kick their ass in the playoffs.
