I thought Reggie appeared to be "decent" enough the few times he actually
got in the game.  He played well against the Colts as I remember.  He 
was no Reggie White, but he was 100000000000% better than Lodish.
Unfortunately for Bills fans, that guy that is still chewing the yellow
stir-stick (the Bills idiot def. coor.) felt that Lodish was worth 
keeping so got rid of Rogers.  (BTW, most def. coor. that want to
coach in the NFL realize that a NT needs to weigh in at more than
the starting linebackers.)

  The Raiders looked like a giant without a brain.  They have skilled athletes
at every position.  With the exception of linebacker, they are equal to most
any other team in the NFL.  Their special teams are skilled and vicious.
But their playcalling is too predictable. The Raiders used to let their QB's
call the plays.  Do they still do this for Schroeder?  The Broncos were
able to decipher their vanilla offense (isn't he a faux rapper?) and stuff 
Dickerson at the line in the second half.  
     Marinovich is probably too raw to get a lot of wins, but the Raiders are
going nowhere with Jay.  That said, they will almost certainly start Schroeder
this week.  Having all those talented receivers and no one to get the ball to
them makes me want to pull out my hair.
   The Raiders, under Blanda, Stabler and even Plunkett used to excel in late
game situations.  If the game was close, the Raiders would find a way to lose.
Now it seems as though they come up with new and exciting ways to lose.  
The Raiders had the ball with three minutes left and the lead and they couldn't
run out the clock.  Grrrr.

Okay, if you haven't read it yet, here it is again.
Okoye heldout for all but the last week before the regular season

Marty(easier to spell his first name than his last name:-)), said

Hey, isn't Marino one of the luckiest non-contender QB's in

Well, it's still debatable.  Remember, SF is traditionally weak at the
beginning of the season.  In any case, having a kicker with a range of
more than 2 feet might make a big difference to the '9er's chances of
making it to the big dance.  Having more than one DB on the whole team
might help too.  :-)

I don't see this as an argument for instant reply. Consider this situation.
I'm a receiver with the same contract, I have 14 TDs etc. Late in the last 
game of the season I shed my cover and run wide open in the end-zone where
the qb overthrows me by six feet. We win the game but the blown throw costs
me $50,000!!

Would you suggest that we have an Instant Rethrow rule so that I can get
another shot at making my bonus? I hope not. Whether the NFL keeps Instant
Replay or not is going to be determined not by players' salary structure, 
not by whether teams win games on bad calls but on whether it makes the
game more entertaining or not. And this comes down to your definition of
entertainment.

I suspect people strongly involved in football are more likely to like IR
because it gives their team a "fair" chance, whereas casual football fans
are more likely to be against IR because it slows the game down. In the
end it comes down to which group of people the NFL think constitute the
majority of the market. (Assuming of course that the NFL owners are
rational beings and not the pig-headed idiots that they for the most part
actually are).

IMHO, the difference between the *really good* team, and the *great* team,
is the margin of victory, and the reasons for it being that way.

The Lions never put any pressure on Jim Harbaugh.  Oh, how their fortunes
would rise with a good pass rush.  Is lack of this the result of a)
defensive
philosophy on coaches part, or b) lack of a player who can do the job?

Secondly, the Bears went into the game on a mission: they played to win. 
In
the closing minutes, possibly the Lions played 'not to lose'.  Attitude,
at
least for the Lions, makes all the difference.

On the other hand,  they played extremely well - both teams did, and it
is perhaps
one of those situations where time just ran out on both teams. 

Wait until Chicago gets to the Sliverdome.... (growl)

This is a guess -- IMO, you would *have* to give the defensive award
to Chip Banks (unless they go and give it to the entire Indy defense)
and although they were some very good offensive performances, I guess
TThomas seems to be a notch above the rest.  Now, of course they would
have actually given the awards to completely different people:-)

He'll be ready this weekend.  He could easily have played this last
Sunday, but he is in Glanville's "Dog House" for holding out so long.  I
heard that Andre was in shock when he found out that he wouldn't play
this Sunday.  He couldn't believe it...  I just think that he wants to

Deion is not there, expect to see the Rison highlight films starting

NNTP-Posting-Host: bongo.berkeley.edu


Okay, I've heard enough whining from Bills' fans about how their defense
is really very good but has to stay on the field much longer. So I decided
to do a few quick back-of-the-envelope computations to see what effect
the time of possession had on the performance of the Bills' D. 

Here's what I did : I computed the average TOP for Bills opponents over
the 91 season. This was 34 minutes and 11 seconds. The league average
is 30 minutes. So I gave Buffalo a factor of 0.877 (30/34'11") for the
averages. Now before you  go rushing off to complain to your mom, let
me be the first to point out the flaws in this approach. The main flaw
is that EVERY team needs to get a similar factor and then the rankings
should be computed. This will no doubt affect the final rankings. 
However I don't have the patience to do this computation, maybe
someone else will take up this task. 

So given that factor here's what I got :
			  Before 	  After
			    	rank	   	rank
Rushing yds/game	127.8	28	112.2	20
Passing yds/game	213.4	21	187.1	 9
Total yds/game		341.1	27	299.3	10
1st downs/game		 21	28	 18.4	14

Stats unaffected by TOP
			rank
Avg gain/rush		15
Avg gain/pass play	16
QB sack pct.		21


Again, this is computed without allowing for TOP adjustments to the
other teams' stats. So this should probably help Buffalo's new stats
since teams like Houston and Detroit might move ahead in some of the
categories.

Clearly the TOP makes a significant difference to the rankings. However,
the new rankings don't move up to the top 5 and barely make it to the top 
10, essentially indicating a defense that is somewhat above average against
the pass and fairly weak against the run. (The latter might have some
bearing on the former since most teams like to establish the run first).

More importantly, the average gains and 1st downs put the Bills D right
in the middle of the pack. The re-emergence of Bruce Smith should make
a difference. But this D is not going to end up in the top 5 even
after making an allowance for time of possession.

P.S. Of course I might have made all kinds of computational errors :-)
