yes, they have 3 running backs on the team:  Thomas, Davis, Carwell Gardner
(carwell is their fullback and short situation man..)

wow - someone who will actually give their defense credit.. I will agree that
they need strenghening.. but watch out AFC, here come da Bills, with new

(it's amazing how many people jump on the "non-bills" fan wagon after they

cs> Why should 10-6 Eagles be excluded from the playoffs, just because they
    were in a tough conference, when 9-7 and even 8-8 (I think there were some)
    got in.  The system sucks!

  Point of fact -- the Eagles are in the tough *division*, which is more rele-
  vant to wild-card selections.

jg> No kidding. I remember the 49ers not making it last year, same reason. It
    truly sucks, but that is life in the NFL.

  Sorry, but SF loses because with SF and Atlanta both at 10-6, but SF losing
  *both* games to Atlanta, that's reasonably fair. Why should one 10-6 team
  who beat another 10-6 team *twice*, in the *same division*, have to miss the
  playoffs? I recall some 49er fans whining to an incredible degree last sea-
  son because Atlanta won the 17-14 Atlanta game with a "Hail Mary". Folks,
  that's the breaks.

  Actually, Denver holds the record (I believe) for missing the playoffs de-
  spite a good record, with an 11-5 record in 1985, Cleveland that year being 
  8-8 and going. Denver happened to lose to the NE Pats, but not until the 4th
  tiebreaker (record against common opponents) Denver at 3-3, Pats at 4-2.

  Anyway, until someone can come up with a system where teams are divided in
  such a way so that their relative position can be measured by a method that's
  better than the NFL's divisional and common-opponent formulae, I suggest
  we quit the whining.

Yes, Sunday the Bills had 337 net yards total passing offense. However,
this is a little deceiving (as the final score shows).  

Buffalo's passing looked like this:    

Passing              Comp-Att-Yds-Td-Int
        Kelly          25-48-306-1-4
        Reich           6-9-59-0-0

(The reason that the numbers don't add up is that you subtract sack
yards from total passing yards to get net passing yards)

But note this:  Buffalo's average yardage per pass attempt:  5.5 yards/att
		Miami's average yardage per pass attempt:    8.5 yards/att

FYI: John Elway has lost as many Super Bowls as Fran Tarkenton.  When the
     Vikings played in 1971 (?) against the K.C. Chiefs (Len Dawson, MVP),
     their quarterback was, I believe, Joe Kapp.

Moreover, no team has run up the score against the Vikings like they've
done against Denver (39-20, 55-10 etc.).  The Vikings had a great defense,
a scrambling quarterback and a good rusher (hmm... remind you of a certain
other NFC team???) but Tarkenton (like Randall) had the uncanny ability to
always loose the big games.  I think his first coach said something like
"He wins games you expect him to loose but looses games you expect him
to win."

Keywords: Win or be assured of a high draft pick

The Browns play a crucial (it's not too early) game on Sunday against
the Steelers. They will have Kevin Mack back but will have a questionable
entity at quarterback. (Not to mention questionable wide receivers AND
more importantly questionable play-calling!) The Browns desperately need 
to win this game to give Tomzack and the whole offense some much needed 
confidence. A win will give them a fighting chance of surviving until 
Bernie makes it back. A loss will make it tough to handle such powerhouses 
as Green Bay and New England in the coming weeks.

My prediction.....

	A win against Pittsburgh sets up a potential respectable season i.e.
              8 or 9 wins.

	A loss against Pittsburgh paves the way for a 4 or 5 win season and
              a fairly high draft pick.

What do you think...Browns fans?

Somebody mentioned (the obvious...) that a 5-0 or 10-1 start
makes you more likely to go all the way.

Using the ftp.wustl.edu data, here is what happened to teams
that started out 4-0 or 5-1 (or better) since 1984:

Note: the first column tells you the record until the first loss,
or 0-1 if the team lost its first game; the second column gives
you the record until the second loss -- but if the team lost more
than one in a row after its good start, it's the record until the
next win.

     Sorry, guys.  If you were expecting a post about the latest in
fashion loungerie or perhaps a new gentlemen's club.  The subject of
this post is the new addition to the Cowboys active roster, Jimmy
Smith.  Smith is WR whose moves were so smooth his college teammates
referred to him as "Silk".  Silk, a second rounder from the football
powerhouse of Jackson State :),  had fractured his fibula in this 
years Blue-White Scrimmage.  He was placed on injured reserve the day
after the 47man cut.  Yesterday, LB Bobby Abrams was released, clearing
the way for Silk. 

      When is AMTRAK (Rickey Blake) returning?.....

Other notes:
   
    Ace Wright returned to practice yesterday.  Emmitt held out because 
of a bruised back.  And Nate was held to limited practice due to a gimpy
knee.

Shannon Sharpe plays at least four positions for the Broncos.  He is
still listed as a tight end on their roster.  I do not know the
criteria for positions in fantasy football, and I don't care, but how
the guy's team lists him must have some impact on it.

I've tried to support some of what you have said before, but this post
is pure and simple bullshit. Teams win when everything comes together at
the right time. I would suggest that so far this season, that appears to
be the case with the Eagles. They have won every game in a convincing
fashion. And if you dont think the Saints game was convincing, I would
remind you that Randall had taken a total of 16 snaps in pre-season games.
Despite that, and despite turning the ball over at least 2 more times than
the Saints (all on fumbles I might add...) they had enough of a ball control
offense and superior defense to still dominate the game, and if not for
a late 4th quarter TD by the Saints (when the Eagles went into the prevent
D) and 2 missed PATs, the Eagles would have beaten the Saints by 11 points.
