NFL thoughts/musings

Wait wait wait, let me get this straight. Ladainian Tomlinson IS THE GREATEST RUNNING BACK OF ALL TIME, THE BEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME? Just saw the article on ESPN.com. WOW. I'll admit he has a nose for the endzone with 112 career touchdowns but he's never rushed for more than 1683 yards in a season. He's only played in 6 seasons. He has had the benefit if an above average quarterback his entire career. Plays in perfect conditions for at least 9 games a year including in Oakland, and hasn't done anything in the playoffs unless you consider going 26 for 80 and 0 touchdowns being productive in the playoffs. ENOUGH WITH THE HYPERBOLE AND EVERYONE IS THE GREATEST EVER AT WHATEVER PARTICULAR TIME IT IS YOU'RE SPEAKING.

Losman and the Bills have been getting some run in the national media which could be a good or a bad thing. In the immediate it appears to be a good thing, but perhaps a distraction and a major boost in ego that could cause a negative effect. There was an article in the New York Times about Losman, he was on the Jim Rome show, and Angelo Crowell was featured on the front page of ESPN.com for being one of the more under the radar guys in the NFL.

Two weeks in a row the Bills games have been blacked out locally in Buffalo. Not ideal, but appears to be a trend with 7,000+ tickets remaining for the Dolphins and Titans games in Buffalo. Especially not good when it coincides with the announcement that the NFL will officially be playing 2 games a year outside the United States and every team will lose a home game in the next 16 years. Yes everyone loses one, but for the Bills it appears sooner than later. The five potential cities to hold a regular season game as soon as 2008 are Mexico City, Toronto, London, Frankfurt and Cologne, Germany. Even worse the commissioner announced that one of those cities could house an NFL franchise in the next 10 years! Of course, Toronto and Mexico City are the most likely candidates. However, if the Bills played a home game in Toronto, that would be the best possible option for Bills Nation. Considering the acute proximate especially compared to the other options, Toronto would be idea. The stadium would no doubt be packed with thousands of fans in Evans Mcgahee and Losman jerseys while if say Detroit played in Germany the game would be neutral. I don't however see the NFL actually throwing the Bills a bone and giving us a small advantage over other teams.

The constant idea of the Bills moving is depressing, so I'll end on a positive note. THE BILLS ARE PLAYING A HOME GAME IN 3 DAYS. THERE ARE TICKETS AVAILABLE. THE BILLS ARE PLAYING MEANINGFUL GAMES IN DECEMBER. WE HAVE AN OUTSIDE CHANCE AT THE PLAYOFFS. LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
