Please consider that the Bills played a truly patheic, sorry
ass Rams football team.  If the Bills can beat the Niner's
with that kind of score, than the Bills are destined to go
all the way.

Atlanta was lucky, as usual, to win this game.  Of course, LUCK
sometimes has alot to do with the outcomes of their games.  I have
to give the Jets alot of credit for not folding.  The Falcon's are
frauds, a la McIntyre (sp?).

I don't think the Houston Oiler's are going to be threat to anyone
but to themselves.  The season will tell. :-)

Any predictions? Blow-out or close one, either way?  I favor S.F.
No predictions in scores.  It could be a high scoring game or a
excellent defensive game.  The team getting the TO's and converting
for points could be the turning point.  I wouldn't count on Cofer on
winning a close one though.  

The Bills are, IMO, are the probably the most threatening team that
the Niner's will face this season.  The Falcon's are the second team
to fear, but not because of talent (IMHO).  It just seems the
Falcon's play their best games against the Niner's.

I drove three hours to see this game, so nice that the Steel crew didn't
disappoint :)

Not a pretty game, there must've been about 10 turnovers overall. 
Didn't see O'Donnell's first int, the second one was a well-thrown pass that
bounced right off of Merrill Hoge. 

I think most of the remaining Pitt turnovers were fumbles by Foster, who 
otherwise had a great game and broke Franco Harris' single-game Steeler 
rushing record. (Foster had something like 190 yds.) The OL made Foster's 
job easy, taking advantage of the absent Jeff Lageman, who went out early
with a strained knee.

The secondary did a great job. Woodson had another superb game and Griffin
returned an int off O'Brien for a TD late in the game. The offense was 
adequate (Graham was the man again), though quite a few of the turnovers
came atery inopportune times.

The Steelers are away at San Diego and Green Bay before the bye week, so it's
certainly not a stretch to say they may start 4-0!

This seems to have gone to college instead by accident.  My appologies to
the college folks if that did happen and if this goes their also.

I have a chance to get some Patriots ticket for games against 4 teams:
Seattle, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Jets

Could someone who knows tell me if any of these teams are any good
and also rank them in order

Thanks much.

	They have slipped quite a bit.  They are no longer a playoff team.  They
have to prove their worth, just like every other team in the league, including
the Bills.
	We will certainly see how well the teams match up on Sunday.  San
Francisco does have homefield advantage, but to be really good, you have to win
on the road.
	I have not forgotten what happened in the Super Bowl.  I also flatly
deny this "NFC is superior" bullshit and challenge anyone to offer a single
cogent argument in favor of it.

Recall that the Eagles were at home against the Saints that day, so the
networks were restricted to one game each.  I'm not sure if the Eagles
game sold out 72 hours in advance of kickoff ... if this did occur (and I
would guess that it would), then the home market MUST get coverage of that
game.

The Saints-Eagles was an early game (same time as Steelers-Oilers), and
by virtue of the Saints in the NFC, the game was on the CBS affiliate there.
Since KYW is an NBC affiliate, I'm sure they opted not to air THEIR game
against the home team.  Ergo, they changed their lineup so that football would
still be seen in the Philly area.

We have the same problem in Washington ... when the Redskins are at home, the
DC affiliates (CBS: WUSA, NBC: WRC) are restricted to one game each (NFL rules,
which need to be modified, IMHO).  The 72-hour rule is also mandated by the NFL,
and since the Skins have been sold out since 1966 (less the strike game of 87),
it's fairly easy to determine what games we will (not) see on Sunday.

Tell me this ... did you get to see the 49ers-Giants game (doubleheader game) ?

well, yes, blackout rules do apply to all cities, but they only apply to
that town's team.  I think what this guy means is that in Buffalo, ALL
you EVER get to see is Buffalo.  The other stations would rather show
"Heidi" than another game.

I assure you, it IS NOT like this in all nfl cities.  When I'm in Dallas,
there's usually two other Sunday games on besides the Cowboys (one before
or after on CBS, one on NBC).  Houston is the same way with the Oilers.

Minnesota got 425 yards, Green Bay 271 yet they both had 10 first 
downs.  Amazing.  This is the essense of Mike Holmgren's offense.

Ahhh, this is what I wanted to know.  Allen had one run of 45 yards 
and another of 51.  Aside from those 2 runs he was 10 for 44 (4.4 
average) and Craig had a 3.4 yard average.  I don't want to take 
anything away from Allen.  His 2 big carries were the big difference 
in the game.  But from a Packer fan standpoint his 12/140 stat 
probably isn't as bad as it might look in the papers.  It's not like 
he was shredding the Packer defense for a first down every play.

It seems like an eternity, doesn't it?  But the last time was November
of '90 when Heath Sherman rambled for 100-yards back-to-back.

Yeah, me too, but not as much as the some of the Vikings fans around

Yeah, Randall seems to be shaking off the rust from missing the entire
'91 season.  He showed exceptional accuaracy both long and short and
made some good reads.  Still had an un-Randall like two fumbles and
has to remember to tuck that ball away under pressure.

I am for Instant-Replay (I-R).  One of the statistics thrown out after all the
games was that the average length of all games Sunday were slightly longer
than last year's I-R use.

Although I-R had its moments the last few years where it took too long or
the idiot replay guys have no knowlegdge of the game or are BLIND, 
it is still better than no I-R.  The officials on the field have too much action 
going around them and coupled with 260+, 6'5" guys blocking their view, they need 
all the help they can get.  It is really frustrating to have a game loss on an 
incorrect call.  Just my $25.00 worth.

Not a bad theory, Dale. 

Anyway, here goes *ice* (Gees, talking to a Dallas fan makes my skin crawl):

Bobby Abrams (6'2", 230 lbs, runs 4.80) was a non-drafted free agent that the
Giants picked up in 1990 and made the team. He backed up both ILB and OLB and
played on special teams. He had 11 stops with two assists and added one tackle
in the playoff opener vs. Bears. He was voted most likely to succeed in high
school (Henry Ford High in Detroit)...true story...His father was a three-time
Golden Gloves champ...Abrams was a DB as a redshirt freshman in '86, and moved
to OLB at Michigan and finished third in tackles his senior year with 73 (51
solos, 22 assists)...and he was born in Detroit on April 12, 1967. 

Do you want the long essay version as well? :-)
