Time To Pay The Bills

[DJ Rhude]

With just over 2 minutes left in the game and the Fins facing a 3rd and 8, Henne bombs one out to the sideline. Jairus Byrd lays the fucker out but since he was somewhat out of bounds, the ref flags me for unnecessary roughness.

Don't think I've evere seen that called in Madden before.....cpu definitely wasn't trying to let you win that game lol

It certainly looks that way. I think it was roolz who called Bills/Chargers in the AFC Championship game earlier this season.

You better lose to Tennessee.

They made an impressive signing in free agency. Game preview coming up here in a bit.

Divisional Round Matchup Preview
Saturday, January 14, 4:30 PM @ Ralph Wilson Stadium

(13-3) vs. (10-6)



After being elimined in the wild card round to the Steelers a season ago, the Titans made a splash in free agency, signing former Seahawk quarterback Matt Hasselbeck.

Hasselbeck led the Seahawks all the way to the NFC Championship game where they eventually faced defeat at the hands of the Cowboys.

And with Hasselback, the Titans were able to avenge their wild card loss to the Steelers from a season ago, defeating Pittsburgh 30-27 in overtime a week ago.

The Bills on the other hand, are coming into this game with a 2 game losing streak hanging over their heads, despite the team finishing the year 13-3 and earning a wild card round BYE.

When Dick Jauron won the 2001 NFL Coach of the Year Award in 2001 with the Chicago Bears, his team was upset in the divisional round as well.

For the sake of his coaching job in Buffalo, let's hope 2001 doesn't repeat itself in 2011.

Or 2000 for that matter. The last time the Bills faced the Titans in the playoffs (January 8, 2000), well, the Music City Miracle was born.



It's GAMETIME.

Titans Key Additions: QB Matt Hasselbeck (84), C Jamaal Jackson (83)

I'm speechless. Really.

[Lumpkin]

tough way to get knocked out of playoffs

[CB4]

That sucks so much balls that you lost. Im guessing Jauron won't be back next season.
