Maybe you should watch the Chiefs beat Washington (defending SB Champions)
and Philadelphia (the team that is supposed to be going to SB this year).
Buffalo beat LA RAMS 41-7, SF 49'ers in SF 34-31.  Houston beat Minnesota
in Minnesota.  Dolfins beat RAMS, and Atlanta.  Pittsburgh beat the LIONS
yesterday.  And these are only the games that come to my mind.  
Your statement about the worst NFC team can beat the Best 
AFC team is complete bullshit.  Completely worthless.  Not supported
by facts.  

The Bills would have won SB 25 if they had the best kicker
in the league.  Washington was the best team in football last year.
They deserved and earned the victory.  As for the other teams,
Denver SB 24 they were completely destroyed.  Cincinatti should have
won if not for Joe Montana's winning drive.  According to your thinking
the SB should be played by the best two NFC teams.  The Bills were the
best in the AFC the last two years.  If you want to go to the SB, then
you have to get home field advantage thoghout the playoffs because, that
is where the AFC/NFC champions are found.  I can't remember the last team
to win in the opposing team's home field championship game.

   agk

you have to declare a tackle as eligible because the rules state the only
linemen may wear the numbers between 50 and 79 on offense, unless the player
who wears one of these numbers reports to the official before the play
during which he will play a position other than one of the five interior
linemen.  (there will always be five interior linemen, even in a swinging
gate or other unbalanced or extraordinary formation, since there have to be
seven men on the line of scrimmage at the beginning of the play, and two of
these by definition are ends.)  the same is true of tackles in the
backfield.

Because of the luck factor (which I hear was pretty big!!!!!!!!)the Lion's
almost pulled it out  against Pittsburgh.  Fontes is also on record as saying
that ware will not play until they are mathmatically eliminated from the
playoffs (they could still go 8-8 I believe).  It is therefore my belief that
Kramer will get the start this weekend.  Pete will be given another bench
ride,  and ware just might see some action if things get out of hand (bet on
it!!)  Ware is the least used Quarterback who was drafted from that year
(89??) and hasn't thrown a ball in 2 years in a regular season game.  What
an absolute WASTE of talent.  Sound like any other lion's quarterback???

Chuck Long road the bench for a couple of years behind Danielson and Hipple
before throwing about 5 regular season passes,  and then being let go!  Now
he's back on IR (YEAH RIGHT!!) still wasting away behind someone else.
Must be nice to make that kind of money and just stand around and sign

     A truly spectacular Buffalo Bills game today. Most impressive scoring,
  especially by Kenneth Davis and Thurman Thomas, Davis getting 180+ yards
  rushing, and Thomas with 103. Thanks to a couple of laterals by the 
  desperate Falcons, we might have shut them out.. :)
     Well, as I see the big picture, the Bills and the 49ers are complete
  mirror images of each other. Right now, there is no way of saying who is the
  best team in the NFL. Take a look:

  
  Bills losses:
 
    Dolphins  
     Raiders
   
  49ers losses:

   Cardinals
       Bills

Cowboys losses:

      Eagles
        Rams


  The way I see it, the Cowboys have a slight edge over the Bills, and the 
  49ers are a really close 3rd. If it were not for the slump that the Bills
  incurred, they would defenitely be the top team. Some people might say that
  the Bills didn't beat Atlanta the way that the 49ers did, but the Bills
  don't run up the score like S.F. does!!! :)

Did anyone see the interview with Randall Cunningham before the Packer game?
He was asked some standard questions about being benched and how he felt
about coming back this week.  Mr. Allstar Q.B. replied "Well, it's only
the Packers - It's not like we're playing Minnesota or (some other GOOD teams)".
Nice attitude!  I was told that after the game he apologized for his statements
and said the Packers aren't so bad after all.  Thanks for the inspiration.
I wonder how many packer players heard his comments before the game.
I used to think Cunningham was a classy player - was I wrong. I hope
he gets benched again after loosing to a team as bad as the packers.

	Yeah, I have been wondering why, since he's obviously not going to be
able to do what he did three years ago, they haven't traded him already.  I 
think his excuse the first couple years was that he is a play-action QB, and
that w/o a running game, he can't utilize the best part of his game, but that
arguement has been pretty much laid to waste.  Harold Green, while not having a
SUPER season, is running the ball with authority, and Esiason has no excuses
available as to why the O isn't carrying the D, and not the other way around,
like it seems.
	I would, provided that Klingler has learned the playbook, start
Klingler as soon as a playoff birth is mathematically impossible.  If you do it
any sooner, you probably get seconbd guessers saying "but they still had a
shot, and they threw it away by starting the rookie".  I have long believed
that the only sure way to get a QB to leanr his trade is to play him.  Sure you
can leanr SOME things on the sideline, but no QB ever gets good by glueing his
ass to the bench.

I've always said that Instant Replay was a fix for bad

	Well it happened. The boy's didn't take a good
but down team seriously and were beat. Just goes to show
you that on any given sunday .....
	Congrat's to the Rams they played hard, and deserved
the win. This was one time were the mental mistakes (penalties,
dropped passes,etc) couldn't be overcome by the Cowboys.
	The lack of a big-time come from behind 2:00 min
offense to win the game (ala Montana, Elway, etc) showed that
we need a little more experience. But the only way to get
experience is to be in these situatuions and do it. Someone
(I don't remember who) stated earlier that Dallas needed to lose
a closeone or two just for the experience, let's hope this
is it.
	K-Mart deserves 2 games ball's, one for offense - one
for special teams. The running game never really got under track,
I thought the Rams had a poor rush defense. 
	Does Charles Haley really mean that much to our defense.
And if so we need some else to pick up just in case of times 
like Sunday.
	At least Philly and Wash lost (rough day for the NFC east).
But S.F. won (last minute drive see above comments), putting them
in the drivers seat in the NFC (currently).
	Despite the loss and not really great showing I still
have faith in the Cowboys and am looking forward to a strong
finish and playoffs

  Someone just brought up the Buffalo and Pittsburgh game of 1977, which
 was truly the most memorable game that ever sticks in my mind when Buffalo
 stunk. It was 2 years after the Bills lost to the Steelers in a playoff
 game. The Steel Curtain Defense was in its prime. Bradshaw was on fire, and
 the Steelers was the hottest team around. But, on this day, it was truly
 the Bills who were hot! After 2 1/2 quarters in which the Bills were up
 30-7, Bradshaw finally started producting. But, on this day, O.J. Simpson
 rushed for 150+ yards against the Steeler defense, and the Bills won by
 the final score of 30-24. What a great game!! Of course, the Steelers
 won every game after that except the Miami game, and went onto win a 
 Super Bowl. The Bills dropped every one of their games after that, proving
 for one shining moment that they could handle the big boys.. *sniff*
