As a Redskin fan, I'm very happy with young Tony right now.

As someone who was waiting for Mike9322's fantasy team to finally fall, I'm on the fence.

Though he is from Wisconsin, I am glad to see him find only Bills open tonight.

I called ikkyu today, as the game was starting.

"Root for Buffalo!" I said. "Because my fantasy football opponent has Romo!"

"You ain't never gonna win," he said. "Romo's gonna get 40 points, easy."

Right now? I say "HA HA HA!"

I'm just relieved that Anthony Henry's not playing for Dallas--he's on stynx's team, and I'm only beating 'em by 1.05 points.

Wow. Number five. Poor guy. I want to scratch him behind the ears or something.

Y'know, rainbaby's undefeated too.

But yet the game ended up so close...

Oh man, that time out was EVIL.

posted by mudpuppie 08 October | 22:56

damn... that's a call.

posted by gaspode 08 October | 22:56

Holy crap.

posted by mudpuppie 08 October | 22:57

Fuck. Poor Buffalo.

ROOOOOOoMMmMMMMMOOOO.

God, I don't even like the Cowboys, but I need that point, and that on-side kick was the essence of football.

Holy Jesus Fucking Holy Rollerskating Everliving Christ. I don't even care about the fantasy loss; what a game. Wow.

It helps that I won both my money games this week.

But muddgirl, funny thing is that everyone else will get that same point too, no? (Did anyone actually pick Buffalo to win?)

Of course, I'm bad at math, so maybe I'm thinking about it all wrong....

posted by mudpuppie 08 October | 23:02

My alarm goes off so soon...

posted by mike9322 08 October | 23:03

yeah, MuddDude just pointed that out, but...but...that point was special to me!

*Does winners dance in from of all the haters*

He sucked ass and still won! Suck it!

That was a great game. (It helped that I came home at 10:40, though).

Allow me a moment to bask and request that mudpuppie scratch me behind the ears.

Ok, I'll put the bullseye on now.

Okay. So, there are, what, 7 seconds left? You, as the Bills, know that the Cowboys have ONE OPTION: the 5-6 yard throw to the sideline to try to get better position for a field goal. How, then, did Crayton get so wide open at the sideline six yards out? The Bills defense played well for 59 minutes and 53 seconds but that one play lost them the game.

And Nick Folk is a beast.

It'll be fun to take first place back next week, when I don't have everyone on bye.

I can say one thing - the Patriots defense is going to slaughter him next week.

This was a very tortuous game for me to watch. I anticipated a blowout and therefore didn't think there would be any conflicting emotions.

To provide some background: I grew up in Buffalo and a Bills fan. I died when they lost four Superbowls in a row. I died when the Dallas Stars beat the Buffalo Sabres in the Stanley Cup Finals in the '99. My life will not be complete unless I witness the Bills or Sabres win it all.

But I've lived in the Dallas area for 14 years now. I managed to hate the Cowboys until the end of last season; I had to admit I felt really disappointed when Romo muffed the snap, then didn't score the touchdown. Bummer.

So the Cowboys started out hot this year, while the Bills laid an egg. I figured, okay, no problem: I know the Cowboys will win. I'll just kinda root for them.

Then the came got real close. I just COULDN'T ROOT AGAINST THE BILLS. And I died again last night when my team lost. :(

Waaaay late to this thread, but I'll say it One. More. Time.

It's a lot harder to get to a Super Bowl in the first place than it is to win once you're there -- it's one game versus what, 19 or 20? And the Bills did it four times. Yes, they broke my heart too, but they still had a pretty darn good run under Marv Levy.

They should have won Monday. >|
