For much of the first half yesterday, it appeared as if neither team wanted to win what could have been the NFL equivalent of college football’s Poulan Weedeater Bowl. Both Tampa Bay and Seattle took turns fumbling, bumbling and stumbling through a sloppy, mistake-riddled first two quarters, and when the fog settled the Bucs trailed by only four points, 7-3, at the break.
The Bills and Jets meet for the 2nd regular season game in Toronto. The Bills were lifeless in losing to Miami there last year. Both teams are coming off nice wins on Sunday and will have a short week to prepare for a division rivalry game.

The uniforms were orange and white, the stands were packed with Cheeseheads, and there was a hint of fall in the air.

On the opening kickoff, Safety Donte Nicholson put a good pop on the Dolphins kick returner…and from there, you just sat back and watched. Although most people consider these exhibition games meaningless…They are far from that if you want to get the right 53 men on your roster for opening day. With that hit, Nicholson may have taken one step closer to being one of those 53 men. On the very next play Barrett Ruud stopped Ronnie Brown behind the line of scrimmage for a one yard loss.
