Assuming they beat the Bills, there's no chance NBC flexes out the Pats/Eagles for a game with more playoff implications, is there?

I doubt it. the Pats would still be undefeated, and the Pats haven't come close to clinching anything yet (ie there are playoff implications, even for the Eagles, they're not done yet)

seems like a good time to bring this up [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Adam Vinatieri is 16/20 this year on fg’s, 27/29 on xp’s
Stephen Gostkowski is 11/12, 46/46

In kickoffs, Gostkowski has touchbacks in 8/38 (21%) attempts

Vinatieri is 8/54 (15%)

Vinatieri 2007 cap charge: $2.07m
Gostkowski 2007 cap charge: $472k

Vinatieri is signed through 2010, Gostkowski 2009

I was against this move at the time, but I was wrong. we got younger, much cheaper, and better by replacing Vinatieri with Gostkowski.

I wonder how this affects Vinatieri's HOF chances.

I don't think you can take away what he's done. he'll be 35 next month, which I would guess is longer than most kickers play (?). so it's kind of a question of, do you penalize him for playing through a decline phase?

this is assuming that Vinatieri is in a genuine old age decline phase, and his problems with strength/accuracy aren't being caused by some other injuries. but he wasn't great in 2005 or 2006 either, so I think it's likely he's just gotten old.

Close call.

49ers marched down the field in the final minutes of their game against the Rams before Dilfer threw an interception in the endzone. Final score: Rams 13, 49ers 9.

The relevent standings:

32. Miami 0-10
28-31. San Francisco 2-8
28-31. St. Louis 2-8
28-31. Oakland 2-8
28-31. New York Jets 2-8

Two teams are 3-7.
