Good lord, EJ Manuel sucks.

I can't wait to hear how big of a disaster this streaming game was.

It's been streaming perfectly for me. I'm guessing it will be fine for most folks. Yahoo! has the server capacity to handle it.

I was thinking more along these lines: are people actually going to watch this? I'm sure the NFL will spin it to sound great, but there didn't seem to be any excitement to watch a game between two crummy teams on computers this week. Maybe I'm wrong.

This is becoming the next closest thing to the famous Oilers meltdown. Time to laugh at the Jags.

LOL @ Green Habit.

...and then the Bills had 2nd and 1 in a hurry up situation, and they run the ball twice just to pick up a first down...and get stuffed both times. This game turned out pretty exciting despite all the blunders by both teams.

Hey, I got no skin in this game. I do feel bad for Mecca and the other Bills fans on here, though--brutal loss.

Was anybody at the game over there? I dont know why the NFL is pushing junk matchups in a country that could not give a shit less about the NFL and even openly mocks it.

Sean Payton clearly isn't having any of it with "completing the process". Wasted both of his challenges before the 1st quarter was even over.

There's nothing quite as horrifying as learning that Dan Fouts is calling your team's game.

It's still a bad division though.

Is it just me or are defenses dominating this year despite all the anti defense rules? Seems like there are a lot of pathetic offensive lines this year. I have nothing to back this up other than it seems there are a lot of sacks.

As a fan of a team that has one of the best defenses and one of the worst offensive lines, I think you're onto something.

Completely anecdotal, no stats to back it up: there seems to have been an increase in injuries across the league on OLs as well. Could be skewed from my perspective because the Pats' line is so busted up.

Think about the O-linemen that have gone in the top 50 picks of the draft lately as compared to the defensive players. The difference is astronomical. Can you honestly name one offensive lineman you would take over the likes of Watt, Von Miller, Kuechly, etc? Maybe Tyron Smith? Some of the best defensive players to ever play have entered the league in the past few years and the O-line prospects just can't match up. NFL coaches have gone on record as saying that the lineman being produced in college these days just aren't very good for the most part, which is why guys like Tom Cable have just started to take D-line guys and train them to be guards and tackles.
