Gore past Rodger Craig in SF rushing yards
But they did use Craig more in the passing game.

Niner Faithful
how about those 49ers? I am surprised we are 6-1, we easily could be 4-3 (close wins against the Lions and Bengals)....maybe even 3-4 as the first game we were blowing the lead and only beat Seattle due to two TD returns.

Let's see how the Bears stack up against the suddenly resurgent Miami Eagles this weekend...

Funny they come here this week and Carlos Rodgers is talking a lot of shit. Saying he didn't want to be here two years ago, good riddance. Talking shit and saying that you really didn't try on the field because you weren't happy. Well Niner's didn't see much in you either and only gave you a one year contract.

And they said the Bills would never play a preseason game there either. Now they get one regular season game per year and some preseason games. When the old man dies, the new owner and the NFL will have a track record for doing what they wants, NFL teams outside of the U.S.

When the old man dies the kids will sell to the highest bidder, which won't be someone from Toronto. There is corporate money here yes, but no single individual I can think of that would be interested. Other thing is Buffalo is still a very viable NFL market. If the team is decent they sell out. They have a great fan base. Can't see the NFL screwing Buffalo like that. They deserve the team.
And I don't think the 1 regular season game will continue past next year when the contract ends. Its been a disaster for Rogers. They've had a hell of a time selling tickets. Mainly because they're aren't many Bills fans in Toronto and the tickets were and still are (although prices were lowered) way too expensive. But when you have to fork over 15 mill per game you have to charge a lot. Unless the Bills want way less than 15 mill per game it won't continue.

I remember the talk about this before the contract was signed, a lot of media and people in Buffalo, saying it wouldn't happen.
As you said it was $$$ that got the old man to do it. So when he's gone and a buyer wants to come in and could do it right in Toronto, I see the team leaving, no matter how good the fan base. A new owner isn't going to want a team in Buffalo and not be doing well and miss out on the money. That's why the Bills are playing there in the first place.

....well, looks like my boys in green took care of the upstart Bills. Looks like we'll be in good shape to even the series with Tom's gang next week.

As a Jets fan, thanks to the Giants for their victory over the Pats. We'll be happy to give Bill and Co. a loss trifecta next week.
As for the Giants, have fun the next four weeks:
Niners -> Eagles -> Saints -> Packers.......Though I'm starting to believe the Eli hype, the next four weeks will decide if I can truly drink that Kool Aid.

Second, Giants are very much a "in the groove" team. The get hot they do very interesting thing. Very unpredictable though.
