American Football

  • drop pass
  • dropback pass
  • line pass
  • Bills-Dolphins rivalry - there are whole articles about lesser rivalries, yet there is no article for this spectacular rivalry
  • Bills-Patriots rivalry - SAME as above
  • Bills-Jets rivalry - SAME as above; AFC East rivalries should have there own, individual articles; there are already a few done, just none with the Bills
  • BCS statistics - the articles on the BCS are well done but have no statistics and don't point to any. For example, from how far down the list has a team risen to be #1 at season's end? Or, how far has a team ranked #1 at the beginning of the season fallen by the end? Or, how many unranked teams (like USC this year) still get to play in bowl games while ranked teams don't? What highly-ranked teams didn't get to play in bowl games? And so on. Years and team names for these categories would be greatly informative.
