2nd.

Even though it's against the Steelers, Im pretty happy for Troy.

2nd I believe.


Some things I never want to see again, and hopefully none of you will have to ever see it. Unless your a fin/pat/jets fan.

1. A Steve Fairchild offense. Especially on the road, is unwatchable.

2. Either Kicker being the best player on the team. The last 2 years it has been Morman. This year it was Lindell.

3. Josh Reed as our number 2 receiver. He can be on the team and play special teams but he better not be on the field to start a game unless we start in 5 WR formation.

4. Keith Ellison starting at LB. He is simply not good enough. Enough said.

5. The fast, small cover 2 defense. I simply can not come to terms with a defense who's main purpose is to hope the other teams offense makes a mistake. That is not a defense, it is a lack of coaching creativity. The Bears run a cover 2 defense but it is a different version that what our coaches want to run.

6. A TE playing FB. For gods sake, get a FB on the roster.

7. A screen pass or any other misdirection play in the snow.

8. A Bills QB throwing short of the endzone on third and goal

Question for E Writer:

Since you live right in the middle of Ohio, I'd imagine you see a lot of games with teams from the AFC North. Would you agree Jerry Austin seems to be the official referee for the AFC North?

I just remember hearing his name so much throughout the year during Bengals games and Browns games.

And BTW, Jerry Austin was the ref for the Steelers/Ravens game, just in case you didn't remember who it was.

Id call him more of the "Unofficial" ref. I hear is name a lot in AFC North games, too. But, I think it's just coincidence. Doesn't the NFL have a rule about how many games a ref can call that has the same team(s) in it? I imagine they would...

Skins beat the Cowboys 27-6. As a team, the Cowboys had 1 rushing yard the whole game, 7 from Jones and -6 from Barber.

1 yard!? Wow.... A pop-warner team can do better than that.

"Collins got hit as he was throwing. See, the defender came around and was going for the ball, but he got his shoulder, he could have got his shoulder, his arm, or the ball"


love it.

Lol. Madden is defiantly one of the greatest commentators ever in the sports world.

**** the titans
**** the colts for not playing Manning.

I really wanted to see the Browns go. Derek Anderson has been a total surprise in everyone's eyes. Shame on the Brown's coaching staff for not seeing him over Charlie Frye at the start of the year!
