Won't happen...Indy in at home with and new defense and confidence building 
in the offense with George back in action. The no huddle worked well inthe 
2nd half in Tampa I suspect it will move the ball against the Jets.

This could be possible.. but only if the Jets get behind early.. The Jets OL 
looked shaky at best against NE.  I think the Colts will Blitz until there in 
Nagle's underwear.

 Absurd... This will be a close game... I think the Colts could pull it out 
if they can find a running game... But right now their defense in one of the 
best young "D"s in the NFL.. ( just ask Sam Wyche 1) There home and proably 
will have something to prove to the fans.. If the Jets win It will be by less 
than 7 points.

I didn't get to see the Dolphins spank the Bills because NBC didn't
show the game in Milwaukee or Chicago.  So I want to hear from
the fans who know there stuff and can really talk about football,
not all this woofing noise.  Surely there is someone out there who
knows more about the game than the score and can do more than 
regurgitate stats.  

1) What is this Hybrid Defense?

			I heard it was 5 LB's and then I heard it was
			5 DB's.  I would guess it would be 5 LB's because
			the Dolphins are deep at linbacker and weak on
			the line.  

    x   O     O   x	Who played the most time with this 2 - 5 - 4?
       x   x   x   	the line?  The linebackers were
			Cox, Coleman, Griggs, Grimsley and Offerdahl?
			Where did they line up?  What was the strategy?
    O is a lineman
    x is a linebacker

2) Will this defense be used often or was it a one time thing?

			The Saints use a 3 - 4 but rush Jackson and Swilling 
			like lineman.  Why not use a 2 - 5 and rush a
			LB or two?  The offense doesn't know which LB's
			are going to rush and are off-balance.  I think
			it is an excellent strategy for the Dolphins.
			Are my assumtions right or am I way off base?

			Can this sort of defense stop the run?  Were
			the Dolphins getting penetration into the backfield
			or using the "bend but don't break" strategy that
			wasn't working in the past?

Thanks in advance to football guru's for posting or emailing.

      Damn, what a hypocrite. I just got through reading how you suggested
to get my head out of my ass just for saying that the Giants were better than
Buffalo the year they played in the SB. Now you're complaining about obnoxious
fans. Boy you are one to emulate. You're probably the first Buffalo fan to
jump on the "Buffalo's gonna kick your shit in" band wagon when things are
going real well. Let me tell you that your response to what I said was the
most worthless piece of shit I've ever read on this group. As far as I'm
concerned you are the scum of this network. This is't just a dolfan woofing
at a Buffalo fan. Any one who read your article in response to mine and then
reads this would certainly agree. How about, if the next time the dolphins
lose you say that the dolphins were not as good as the victors, and I say
your mouth is full of horse shit, simply because you said the dolphins were
not the better team. Then I turn around and post something about how obnoxious
and bad other fans are on this group. For you to complain about what people
post here is like Jeffery Dahlmer(sp?) complaining about why people jay walk. 
       Any thing you have to say please send directly to me.
       Or, hell post it, I would love to have all see what you have to say.

I won't say that, but I think that there is a reason that there hasn't
been an undefeated team since 1972.   The Bills have 12 games to play.
Not 1, not 3, 12 games.  Upsets happen every week.  

Let me make the ungrounded assumption that the probability of the Bills
winning any given game is 95%.  To define this a little better, consider
a team that goes 15-1 on a season.  Their statistcal probability of 
winning would be 94% +/- a small error.  (Note:  Who was the last 15-1
team anyway?)  Let me proceed...

If the probability of the Bills wining one game is .95.  The probability
of the Bills winning the next 12 is .95^12.  That's 54%.  Given this
logic, I will assert that the probabilty of the Bills winning a given
game is less than 90%, which means that there is only a 28% chance of
the 16-0 season.

	They "probably" won't do it.  :-)

No, I don't see how you can say that.

Ferrell Edmunds is inconsistent and in his 4th-5th year.  He's not a
top notch TE.  (Yes, I know he was in the pro bowl a couple of times
-- shows you how bad the position is all over the league.)  Greg Baty
is a special teams player and a blocker.

As for receivers, it's still Duper and Clayton, and Clayton is
injured.  Freddie Banks is making big catches, which is good, but
neither he nor Robert Clark have stepped up in Clayton's absence.  And
why do you think Miami drafted Randal Hill last year?  Because they're
short on young receiving talent.

What self-centered antics?  Asking for proper compensation is not an
antic.  For that matter, Don Shula seems to handle quite well all the
fiery temperaments and personalities on his team.  I'm not worried about
Jackson causing any trouble.  Even Tim McKyer was a net gain, all things
considered.

Aaron,

Granted your team won the game ... I'll concede you that ... But please don't 
forget that your beloved QB is 0 for 3 in playoff games ... They still have
games at Dallas, at Washington, in addition to having to play the 49ers ...
They will NOT go undefeated ... The Cowboys have shown that Eagles defense is
vulnerable deep ... I look forward to watching Jerry Rice, Mike Sherrard, 
and John Taylor (if he's healthy enough to return) eat up the Eagles secondary
... These just a couple of things for you to keep in mind before you start
to run your mouth some more.


Cheers,
Brian

I know this is not your main point, but, In no way was the GIANTS of 89
"inferior" to the Bills. And they prove that 2 out of the 3 times they met
that year. Just because they did not score 40 points per game like the
Bills did does'nt make "inferior".

Hiya, Brother! (We belong to the same frat at Gally...)

Taking your arguement, I could show the true greatness of '71 Dallas Cowboys!
The last game before the Fish went on their perfect season, they got whipped 
by Dallas in SB VI 23-3! That defeat was the motivation for the Fish, and 
their coach, as it was the second loss for Shula (SB III with Colts vs. the 
Jets). So you owe us! ;)  In SB VI Dallas got rid of the "couldn't win the 
big one" monkey on their back quite convincingly. (esp. after that crazy SB V)

I have respect for '72 Fish, but enough about the past! This is '92, and 
Miami better get its act together after how they played the Browns and 
Seahawks if they are to beat the Bills! As for my team, they're busy 
preparing for the BEagles...

Cowboys Forever!

Indeed this is a year of first win/loses for my team.  First time in a LONG

 Also the first time since early 70's that Dallas won at Giants Stadium.

IMHO, the crowd noise rule is THE SINGLE WORST rule the National Football League
has EVER had, bar none!  There is NO reason for it!  After all, its a FOOTBALL
game for crying out loud, not a tennis match or a round of golf!  If they want
quiet, let them go to the library.  That rule goes entirely against the spirit
and intention of the home-field advantage.  If your fans are so loud and so
exuberant that they can hassle the qb by making it impossible for his receivers
to hear plays being called, GOOD!  Congratulations!  Those fans should be 
commended for being so loyal.  If the other teams HATE playing in your stadium
because they know that the crowd will be loud and when they reach the endzone,
they can't hear anything, GOOD!  That's the idea.  As for fans, throwing things,
this is ENTIRELY different.  As far as I know, nothing that a fan would be 
allowed to bring into a stadium, or that he could buy at the stadium and could
be thrown onto the field makes a noise when it is thrown or when it lands that
is so loud it drowns out the calls.  Therefore, the issues of crowd noise and
throwing things on the field are totally separate!  If they are loud, fine.
If they throw things, simply remove the offending party from the game.  A
repeat performance at a later game revokes season tickets, and a third time
gets them banned from the stadium.  It's that easy.  But, just because they
are making 8
are making ALOT of noise does not automatically mean that they are going to
also throw things.  Like you said, this rule is seldom used, but the mere fact
that it exists is a travesty!  Of course, this is just MHO.  :)

On the Eagles, both DE-Reggie White and WR-Fred Barnett are playing out
the last year of their contracts.

In case you haven't heard, Reggie is suing the NFL to become a free agent
after this year.  He has stated that he would like to remain in Philly,
but he wants no part of the contract negotiation problems that he went
through last time.  Reggie is 31 and he will not be the same player when
his next contract expires.  But he should still command a very high price
because he is one of the best defensive ends that ever played the game.
I don't see how the Eagles can't resign Reggie for the remainder of his
spectacular career.

Barnett, on the other hand, is quickly becoming one of the best WRs in
the league.  He is entering his prime and will be demanding All-Pro WR
type money.  Right now, Barnett is earing $200,000/yr so that will be
a BIG increase in salary.  Unfortunately, Arkansas Fred is a player that
I can see the Eagles losing if it gets into a bidding war.
