Well, here we are again folks--midway though football season and our hopes for playoff all but dashed. Or are they? We play Buffalo next week; with the addition of Harvin and both Fred Jackson and C.J Spiller almost assuredly out for the game, I could easily see us beating them and going on a 9-win streak. Why?

First, the rules:

1) No politics, no personal attacks, no excessive swearing, no porn, no graphic violence/ gore. Period.

2) The mods have ultimate, mind boggling authority. Sp0rtsfan86 and Smackdad are the TAN mods. If they or any other moderators or editors say drop it, let it go. Please don't argue with us. We have final say, period.

3) If a topic is borderline we will warn you. Don't argue. Accept it and move on.

4) If there is a problem email sp0rtsfan86 at sp0rtsfan86@optonline.net or Smackdad at macgregorwells@yahoo.com. We'll try to work something out so that we don't have issues. We promise you will remain anonymous.
