Buffalo vs. Oakland weekly release

[G. Host]

It is in PDF format and quite large (500k+) but I should be able to keep it on my website for a week.

Lots and lots of information. I plan on printing out a few copies and bringing it to my Bills Backers Group at Jimmy's Old Town Tavern (http://www.jimmystavern.com/) for game Sunday
