If they win the SB people will say they were a team of destiny because
they did what no other pro team had ever done. Come back from 32 pts down.
They are focused on the job ahead. Nothing except winning will satify them
and I'm pretty sure they are going to do it. We'll see on Sunday.

Dont forget the Bills defense had something to do with it. Also Houston
did drive down for the tying field goal. They were trying to play it safe
and not put the ball in a place where it could be intercepted and have the
Bills ice the game.

Since Parcells was announced as head coach last week they have sold almost
3000 season tickets. On sunday the Pats ticket office was open for a half
day and they sold 500 tickets. They could have sold more, but the phone
lines were busy. Their are a lot of Giant Fans in NE so parcells was an
excellent choice.

In the Boston Sunday Globe they had a big add for the Pats w/ a big picture
of Parcells. It listed all the Pats home games:
Colts,Bills,Phins,Jets,KC,Houston,GB,Cincy,Seattle,Detroit.
(I don't know which ones are preseason)

I also heard a rumor they want to change the Name back to the Boston 
Patriots and possibly change the logo. Changing the name is fine w/ me
because New England Patriots is kind of Nebulous, but I like the logo.

Actually, I would ask "Which book is it?"

Anyway, to find out the 2nd best team, you would have to have a playoff
that included the team that lost the SuperBowl, and all the teams that the
SuperBowl Champ beat.  So, either Dallas, Pittsburgh, Miami, and Houston 
face off or Buffalo, San Francisco, and Philadelphia go at it.  Pairings would
be:
Houston at Dallas
Miami at Pittsburgh

or
Philadelphia at Buffalo

The truth about the Bills is that each year, having
come through the playoffs, they have a huge collective
team ego.  The biggest comeback in history.  Coming
from a wildcard position to the SB.  "Hey, we _have_
to be a great team!"  The simple truth is that they
cannot match the best that the NFC has to offer, as
the past two years have shown, and I hope to see 
this year.

I predict a 10-14 point win by the Cowboys.

Put the Bills in the NFC East, and they don't make
the playoffs.

Wrong. According to my David Woodley 1983 Topps Football card, he was drafted 
by Miami in the 8th round in 1980. That means it was his third season when the 
Dolphins went to Super Bowl XVII. I don't think any rookie QB has started a 
Super Bowl although Marino did start in Super Bowl XIX in his second season.

Thomas has been pretty consistent. Its Kelly thats not. He is liable to 
throw 3 INTs in the 1st Q, and then throw 4 TDs for the rest of the game.
He forces the ball at times.

31 pts: 28 in the 1st half, 3 in the second half.
Give the Buffalo defense in the Houston game credit for shutting down 
Moon and co. in the 2nd half. The coaches made their halftime adjustments
and they gave up just 3 pts in the second half.

The difference is that you can make all the substitions you want in typical
3rd-&-long (get your extra DBs in). In the no-huddle, Buffalo won't give you
the time to do that. You play your standard 4-3 on 1st/2nd down, and you
have to use the same guys for 3rd and long bcoz Buffalo is at the line 
immediately. Conversely, if you use more DBs on 1st/2nd down, Buffalo 
can run on the defense. Buffalo is going to move the ball up and down the
field. The Dallas defense has to maintain its poise, and not get 
rattled (not implying that they will). The important thing is that
Dallas has to keep them out of the endzone.

You are giving one example, that too when Dallas had the lead.
I am talking of the scenario when Dal is down by 2 scores late and has to 
pass-pass-pass. Dallas plays a methodical, controlled offensive game that
relies a lot on the run. Actually, I can't recollect any game this season
when Dal was behind by 2 scores late in the 3rd Q or in the 4th Q (the
Denver game?), and came back to win. All this is actually to great credit
for their off/def that they rarely put themselves in that situation.

Well, I heard a few people talk about the SuperBowl.  Well, what's the bottom
line.  Dallas' defense will knock Jim Kelly off stride, and stuff Thurman 
Thomas.  Buffalo's offense has been living a dream since the big come back
against Houston.  The bottom line is that the Cowboys will keep the Buffalo
offense off balance.  And when that has happen to Buffalo they've had problems.
The offense of Dallas will pass and run at will.  When Buffalo keys on 
Emmitt Smith, then the Cowboys will pass.  When Buffalo changes to stop the 
air assault, then Dallas will run.  My predictions.

I would go for both of those.  "Boston Patriots" sounds better, and I

Maybe Ed Lor is preparing for the case Buffalo beats Dallas.
Because then the total season records will be:
Buffalo: 15-5
Dallas:  15-4
San Francisco: 15-3

The argument he is setting up now is that this would prove SF is the
best team in the NFL after all   :-)  :-)  :-)

>Isn't there a limit on the number of "tackle eligible" players?

The only rule I have heard discussed is that any player must sit out
at least one play between being ineligible and being eligible (or vice
versa)... thus, most "tackle eligible" plays feature players (such as
defensive or reserve offensive linemen) who are not offensive
regulars... I heard the rule mentioned during the telecast of the
Cowboys' last regular season game when a regular TE went down with an
injury and they had to take out a regular lineman to get him moved
over to TE.  In theory, this could also happen in the opposite
direction (to move a regular TE to the line).

Two more related questions:

1.  In these days of two-platoon football, are defensive backs (who
wear numbers in the "eligible" range) considered ineligible because
they are defensive players?  [I think not: I think they are still
eligible]

2.  If there's a turnover, does the "one play after" part of the rule
still apply? [I don't know]

If #2 is true, then someone like the Fridge would have to come out for
one play after a turnover on a play in which he was a "tackle
eligble".  If both #1 and #2 are true, then someone like Deion Sanders
(playing WR on offense) would also have to sit out a play after a
turnover.
