The Bills and Fins appear to be going in different directions. Buffalo has dropped 2 straight while the Fins have won their last 2 games. Injuries have exposed the Bills lack of depth – but for Miami, Karlos Dansby and Kevin Burnett have started to gel. Will the Bills be ready for Reggie Bush, Matt Moore and Brandon Marshall? The Bills have been giving 24 points a game to opposing WRs and RBs so far this year – which has put pressure on the offense to keep pace. The Fins are favored by 3 points - which means this appears to be a pick game, but if Fitz and the Bills continue to misfire on offense, it could be another long day for Bills fans. Miami is currently 10th in the league against the run – but 25th against the pass. It would great to see Spiller used more in the Parrish\Wes Welker type role. It would also be great to see Steve Johnson again - right? But Fitz has been looking a lot like a Kelly Holcomb recently – which means that hopefully the Bills will not have to play from behind and are able to show up on defense to start the game. Go Bills!

Fitz is only one aspect of this team that has not performed well and this does not reflect well on the coaching staff. Fitz said after the game that they had a good week of practice. Well that certainly did not translate to production on the field. Every team has injuries, but why does it seem the Bills have more than other teams. Also, they are one of the worst defenses in the league because they still can't stop the run and still have no pass-rush.

Win or loose, there are many reasons why there’s no place like Buffalo in the NFL and even if in a 16 game season the Bills falter somewhat down the road to the playoffs, there is always next year. Go Bills!

Way back, I remember being able to post articles about the Bills directly on TBD. If anyone has a screen shot of that interface, I would love to see it.

for many years there has been a cycle where if you do not produce in three years (hopefully improve to over .500), you were replaced by the next staff and so on...what has been different with CHIX is that we seem to actually have a well-rounded staff that can draft and think on game days. There has not been much of that type of combination in Buffalo for a long time. Go Bills!

gotcha, it is Cornell University and Ithaca College. Nice and hilly there just south of Cayuga Lake.

The Bills should line him up like Wes welker - which should fit with Chan's offense.

The Bills will continue camp at SJF it was just announced.

Not setting the bar too high - playoffs for both the Bills and Sabres would be nice.

You need to watch some older westerns like Bend in the River or Winchester '73 (and it is Ithaca University not "univeristy"?!?) Both of those movies have "circle the wagons" scenes... Go Bills!

The play calling has been designed for getting the ball out quick and it has helped having bigger receivers plus a big TE.

Kelly mentions he has a group of investors - maybe Golisano would be in that group (less than 50% participation or agree to let a football person run it would be okay).

Nice article about the Bills, its fans and WNY...My link Golisano is mentioned as a possible investor/owner.

200 Plus yards - no one could cover him...we were lucky that the Bills came up with 4 Brady ints....seriously how many times do you think Brady is going to throw 4 ints...that is probably all he had last year.

Spiller will hopefully be the Wes Welker of the Bills...no, trading is not a good idea...

the River Rats?

If there is one thing to be learned, until the Bills beat the Pats (haven't in the last 15 tries), the Bills need to try harder. The Patriots have not lost a game to the Bills since a 31-0 loss on opening day of the 2003 season (9/7/03). The 15-game win streak is the third longest winning streak over a single opponent in NFL history.

Having attended past Bills/Pats games (Pats 15 - Bills 0 -latest streak),there would be nothing better than a Sam Adams type play for Dareus (tip/interception/TD) against the Pats to get things going. To the OP, the AFC East is tough and that means that the Bills most likely need to edge out the Jets, Pats and NE for a chance...thinking at least 10 wins?

Wes Welker is another weapon to watch for, but I would be starting Gronkowski on a fantasy team this week with Hernandez out.

The DBs should be okay, it is Woodhead, Gronkowski and especially Welker (Brady's relief valves) that have been hard to stop.

wow, thanks for posting...that play was a closer call than I remembered...and it appears that back then they didn't have a camera right on the goal line - even during a SB.

Tried to get the comeback game on DVD at the Bills store at camp the last couple of years, but they didn't have it - even though they were playing it on their TV. They told me to look on EBAY - LOL.

That was great, and was unbillievable. For me, it was the realization that the Bills were really in the SB. It was a good game also, even down to the last play...

Bills down by four, no time-outs and Odomes gets the ball back...the look on Marino's face was classic - as was the last play for HOFer # 12. Update: this game was a while ago...(1989) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgmoX_FcT3Q

Thanks for posting...
