Buffalo's defensive coordiantor should be fired RIGHT NOW! No excuse for this shit two weeksin a row

Buffalo's defense can only do so much when their o-line has been decimated and can't put up points.

Let's also take into account the critical injuries their D has had (Kyle Williams, Shawn Merriman, etc)

another disappointing loss for the skins

when i saw the FG live i thought he missed and OT was going to continue.

but on the replay, it appears that if the upright was like 5ft higher, it would have bounced in considering the angle it was coming at. dont know how the refs judge it but IMO the first time, looked no-good to me.

Redskins played hard today, after a disappointing first quarter they managed to put a real fight up.

Cowboys could make a race of the NFC East, but the last few games have NYG twice, which will be a must-win situation for them. And there's also the Eagles, this time at Cowboys stadium, that could also be a bear. An uneven team for sure, but at any point they can come out and pull a monster.

It's really up to the NYG to lose this, but they have inarguably the tougher schedule remaining. They have the Eagles tonight at home, then head to New Orleans, the week after that they must withstand a Packers assault, then close it out slightly easier with two games against Dallas, a Redskins team that's tougher than 3-7 would indicate, and the hated Jets.

I'd put odds at 55/45 that the NYG will end at the top of NFC-East, but Dallas has a shot. The question is does it even matter? Cowboys will have to lose no more than 2-3 games at most out of the remaining 6 to have a shot at the playoffs. And we all know that Romo is so pro at Playoff games :p

Akers would be having a monster fantasy game if the 49ers hadn't forgotten how to block/snap on special teams.

Williams is a huge loss. Merriman, meh, he hasnt done much since the regular season started. Either way, no excuse for not covering recievers. If they cant get pressure they better come up with a scheme to tame away the passing game. Two weeks in a row there were wide open recievers without a Bill in sight. This is the NFL not Pop Warner.

I bet George Edwards doesn't last the season...they were calling for his head after last weeks debacle. Dave Wannstedt is just waiting in the wings......

Damn you Michael Turner! Get so many opportunities in the red zone from only a few yards out, and can never convert. 1-3 today.

Anyone else wish the Chargers were playing Indy in the remaining games this season to see who sucks worse? Methinks the Norv Turner era comes to an end soon...

Maybe you blame Norv, but that is not a talented football team.

You're definitely correct about this year's Chargers, but how do you explain the rest of his tenure with the Chargers, then? The past few years of slow starts typically followed by good finishes followed by playoff losses can't all be blamed on the players.

It's true, I don't think Norv is a great coach. I always make fun of Norv Turner as a head coach, but it's more in the same way you make fun of Andy Reid as opposed to Mike Singletary.
