You're right, Dude!  It's all over. No more Bills dominance in the AFC - no 
more waiting each year to see who will beat the Bills in the Super Bowl - no 
more waiting to find out which Bills player will embarass them the most!

Will Kelly blame all his problems on the line?

Will Thurmon whine about not being compared to Michael Jordan?

Will Brucey Smith demand to be recognized as the best defensive player in 
football?

Ah, another Bills fan who has trouble with addition, not to mention advanced 
skills like reading the calendar!  The season is only half over and the 
Bills are tied for first - although they are really behind the team that 
HUMILIATED them in their first meeting - 37-10, the Dolphins destroyed them.

Well, at last you're right!!  The Bills will claim their rightful share of 
first place!  NONE OF IT!!!

	It was never close!  The Vikings line(both sides of the ball) dominated
the game.  Terry Allen and Roger Craig had great days rushing and Gannon had 
another decent day passing.  I may be biased but THE VIKES ARE NO FLUKE!

	We must face the facts.  The American public is like a spoiled
child and only really likes winners.  All true fans of a given team will
always be bunched together with the whiny bandwagon-jumpers by the true
fans of the Enemy, but it is a price I'm willing to pay to see Dallas
play well.  Not because I like cheering for a winning team...not this
Texas Ranger fan...but because teams that get such labels are the ones
that go into the marquee matchups and get sold out at home so that I can
always watch them on tv no matter where I am in the country.

>I also seem to remember some comments about the hole in the top of the

	In fact, I think this line of thought was either originated or
at least popularized by former Dallas Times-Herald (now defunct) and
before that Morning News writer (he's now "freelance" and selling his
column subscriptions via email for a hefty sum)...none other than Skip
Bayless.  No reporter has every had the Cowboys' number quite like him.
He had a great time making fun of "God's Team" and "God's Coach," and
he did it because a lot of the rabid fans half-believed the labels back
in the 70's.  If the fans or the Cowboys ever started getting too big
for their britches, Skip would always cut them down to size with some
serious sarcasm.  I don't think he was a very nice guy, but he was fun
to read.

   I have to diagree with you on all points. 1) the defence is actually not
bad, especially for a 1-8 team. 2) the offence isn't nearly that good.
Festering, vomitous, runny, dog shit is more appropriate. Consult alt.tasteless
for further details. And 3) Everything - has gone to hell in a handbasket. Of

Well, "MAC" had not played and the Raiders were due
to win one. I made two major mistakes in my conclusion.
No. 1: Never underestimate the "MAC" and No. 2: I
thought perhaps Todd the QB, might have a turnaround.

There's a good (but short) article on the team in this week's Sports

to the top of the AFC central.

Good action photos. A splash page of Barry Foster for my wall, and a
cool set of shots showing Woodson knocking Moon to the turf!

Steeler fans should catch a glimpse. Maybe a win over Buffalo would earn

Not that it matters now with 7 weeks to go but I think
N.O. will be ahead of SF in placing as of this morning
(Monday) and Since Washington beat Philly head-to-head
they willl be ahead of Philly.

You were right - the game was a blowout.  Well, almost, anyway - in the
BROWNS' favor!  Moon passed for 300+ yards - NOT!  Maybe you missed the
decimal point.  He threw for 70 yards, and was eventually benched.
Well, at least Slaughter got his touchdown.  ;-)
 
Note - this is not woofing.  I'm not trying to brag, to claim that the
Browns are going to win the rest of their games and win the Super Bowl,
or anything stupid like that.  I'm just excited that they finally won a
game they really needed to win.  They are still very much in contention
for the Central Division, if only they can beat the Steelers again when
they play in December.  Of course, they have six other tough games, too.
For Cleveland, no game is a gimme.  (See last week's debacle.)
 
P.S.  I'm posting this for fun.  Don has given us excellent Browns news
all year.  Keep up the good work!

The nice thing about sporting events is the ole "what if"!
I would agree with both of you.  You can not dismiss the fact that
the Browns were outplayed, outcoached, and outscored Sunday.  The
Bengals offensive totally dominated the Browns defense from the offset.
However, "what" would of happened "if" Mike Johnson intercepts Boomer's
pass at the 40 on the first drive instead of dropping the ball?
Do the Browns go up 10 - 0?  Do the Bengals give up?  We will never know.
What would of happened if the Browns score on the last play of the half?
Do they come out and march all over the Bengals?  Again, obviously we'll
never know.  All we do know is the facts.  And those were the Browns
were thrashed!

Hello to all my fellow NFL fans out there, this is my first posting of
predictions this year and I hope to come up BIG.


Pick of the week-   Philadelphia at Gren Bay (In Milwaukee)
           
             -Randall's back and the Defense is in prime condition.
              This is a must win situation for the Eagles and 
              Cunningham is finally ready to play, look for him to 
              explode offensively and lead a team that wants revenge:
              Remember what happened last time they played Green Bay?

Key Matchup-         Buffalo at Miami

              -Both Teams NEED this game if they want to win the AFC
               East.  Miami suffered two devastating losses that may 
               have ruined their confidence.  Buffalo is on a roll, 
               with a big win in Rich against the Steelers.  The Bills 
               want to avenge their loss at home against the Dolphins, 
               too much for Miami.
                        Bills 38  Miami 24

Upset Special-        New England at Indianapolis

               -No way this team can go 0-16, their coach is just too
                good.  They are overdue for a huge win, and Indianapolis
                is vulnerable, especially without Emtman, in the Hoosier
Dome.                        
                Dick Macpherson deserves this win, the patriots will win   
                outright!
                         New England 16  Indy 14

    Yeah, I think you're right. The Dolphins are the best team in the NFL.
I also think that they will win at least 2 SB before Marino retires. What
was that, the Cowboys, oh, I thought you ment the other team with a star
on it's helmet (The sun is still a star isn't it?).
