Wow Buffalo sports fans just seem to have the worst luck. I was thinking back to previous week 1 Bills games and they just seem to lose in the most devestating ways. I think in 2002 they went to overtime with the Jets and the Jets took the opening kick for a touchdown. 2 years ago they lost to the Jags on the last play of regulation, and then today. Just heartbreaking to go along with the superbowl runner ups, Hulls goal, music city miracle, and so on.

Pats looked amazing today. But my god the Jets had no pass rush at all, and just let brady stand back there all day. Pathetic job.

The Lions still won today, but there's no way they get to Kitans predicted 10 wins.

Griese starts in how many weeks?

what a finish in the Cards/Niners game! San Fran marches down the field and almost blows it, but the Card defender can't hold onto the fumble in the end zone. They get first and goal at the one and run it in.

Cards just got screwed.

No way that's a fumble. Holt hits the reciever as he lands and knocks the ball loose - that's an incompletion.

No they didn't. He maintained possesion, made a football related move and then lost the ball. That's about as clear a fumble as I've seen.

Football related move? What's that? Landing his jump?

Watch the tape in real time and not MNF's extra slo-mo and tell me that's a fumble.

Yeah I agree. Not controversey at all on that one. When I first saw it - from the original angle it looked like an incompletion but the replay clearly showed it was a fumble.

A couple of great finished tonight. I quite enjoyed both games.

Gotta love the 'prevent defense'. Cards attacked the Niners all game holding him to 100 total yards (30 in the 2nd half) up until the final drive. Then some genius decided 'Let's drop back and be very careful and not give up any big plays and give up 86 yards!"

They changed the rule this season; there is no requirement for a "football related move", all you need is to come down with possession.

Fugly game. This was a case where They needed to let Smith take a couple deep shots early. As it was, by focusing everything on the run or short the defense was able to pin its ears back and charge. A few draw plays would have been nice, too. But you don't get points on the quality of the wins, they are all worth the same.
