From his power rankings:
All good points. My initial response is that when Vincent Gallo is your city's signature celebrity, maybe you shouldn't have an NFL team. But I'm willing to be talked into it. From everything I've read, the Bills are struggling to survive financially and lack the funds to build a better stadium, only they don't have the balls to leave Buffalo, only they don't want another NFL team to move to Toronto -- the best territory that isn't an NFL city yet -- so they're basically "marking" that Toronto territory like a dog by playing eight games there over the next three years. Either it was a shrewd business move (they made $78 million, more than their 2006 and 2007 operating income combined), a passive-aggressive play that deserves to be mocked, or both. But it's nothing like the 1979 NBA champs getting hijacked from Seattle for no good reason. Seattle could support an NBA team; it's unclear if Buffalo can support the Bills.
(Note: If I'm wrong, then tell me why. And try to do it without using swear words or comparing me to various orifices. Thank you.)"
My God this man is a dickweed.
I can put up with him dissing the Bills, I really can. We do it all the time on here and I think there's a general consensus that trashtalking a team is acceptable. Trashtalking a city however...
Whatever you feel about the Toronto games, we continue to sell out games well into December in an open air stadium. We continue to support them, even at our bleakest moments. I think he's going to get trolled pretty damn hard.
-
Of course they do, and for various reasons....be it injuries, looking past a team, coaching errors, or just having a bad day.
See the Miami vs NE game for more details.
Still, picking the RAMS to beat us? That's more insulting than losing to the Raiders, who he predicted we'd beat.
You can say what you want about how it's a road game and SL will have their backs against the wall. DJ has said that they won't lose sight of the game but you know that everyone is thinking of how the Rams have the highest point differential in the league...and not in a good way. They're currently considered the worst team in the league right now.
That's why I feel insulted.

IMO this is the best thing to happen to our Offense since Trent started for an injured Losman.
Roscoe offers us nothing but an average WR that is too small for Trent to find (his own words).
I'm looking forward to Hardy playing more!
Ok, which of the three wise men: Jim, Jack or Jose?
Roscoe is quick and is a great returnman. I like Hardy (especially after that end zone catch) and he should be able to fill in until roscoe is back but I'll be happy when he comes back.
-
Well, we did cut it close against a team we should have beat by nine points.
-
Jim Rome!Umm, if you really want to.
Personally, I'm happy to have someone pulling for us. Last year I think he liked Marshawn and he seemed to like Trent but respect is nice.

Awwwwww sheeeeeeeeet.
Ahem.

Hmm, let's have Mort line up against Stroud to see if he's overrated.

Bad teams find ways to LOSE when they are playing well...
Good teams find way to WIN when they are playing bad...
We looked at a microcosm of The Bills the last 8 years in the Raiders today...we saw what it looks like to win when you shouldn't...
Our time is now!!!
We played exactly like we would have last year up to the fourth quarter.
Then we did exactly what we needed to do.
I agree that we should have blown them out, but we had several hard knocks (that idiotic INT call) and strokes of bad luck (fumbles) and we still managed to pull one away. The only troubling thing is what will happen when we play against a team better than the Raiders.
-
Damn right. The entire offense was pretty ineffective for 3 quarters. Trent played rather poorly, the playcalling was average, the O-Line was stinking it up...you name it.
This was a total offensive comeback.
Thank you for saying exactly what I was thinking.
-
Trent is really special. He owns the 4th quarter. That 96 yard drive was one of the best I have ever seen- and against a very tough Raiders secondary. Wow! Even JP has to be impressed
Trent might have been unimpressive for three quarters of the game, but he does seem to have an affinity for fourth quarter combacks. While I'd prefer to have a bit more consistent play, there's no denying that Trent knows how to finish games. Take into account that it's still his second season and I think we have a new long term QB.
-
I wonder, if Trent starts looking like Peyton Manning week in and week out against all competition, how long is Turk Schonert going to stay in Buffalo?
If he keeps doing the playcalling like he's done the last two weeks... hopefully until the day he dies. Longer if Ralph Wilson manages to sign his soul for a few years post-mortem.
-
I hate how it always has to be the next Brady/Manning. Those guys are the elite superstars. They don't come around all that often. I'd gladly take a QB like the ones you mentioned. They're not the elite, but the're both top 10 guys in this league.
Of course I'd take Edwards if he proves himself to be a consistent good QB, even if he doesn't become the next superstar.
Of course, if he does, then awesome for us. So far this season he's looked good. Even if he isn't racking up the touchdown passes his throws have been almost scarily accurate, with not a single interception so far this year. I'll take THAT over a the Peyton Manning we've seen of late.
-
Sorry to interrupt your insane self love on this out of touch board. The Jills will be 2-1 after Sunday. When will that former Redskin be 'honored' in that dump you call a stadium? Are they going to bring over all of those names to Toronto when your crappy city goes belly up? You're lucky Fargas isn't playing or the score would be much, much more lopsided in the Raiders' favor. I'll be here all week folks...
Yay, we have our first idiot troll of the week. It takes a certain level of idiocy to be delusional on someone else's board. You seem to be mighty impressed with beating the CHIEFS, a team that was 4-12 last year while we took on and beat two teams that went to the playoffs last year.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it...along with the meth you need to be a Raiders fan.

Great quote from Kelsay:
"Some people are starting to give us a little respect," Kelsay said.
"Respect comes over time, but humility comes before honor."
Loved that part the most, though 'sall good.
Sounded vaguely like Confucius. Or maybe Sun Tzu. Perhaps DJ gave them all some assigned reading.

weren't we 2-0 in 2003?I think you're right. That was our first year with Bledsoe, wasn't it?
-
I don't know, I certainly liked the way he and Evans have been working for far this season with the over the shoulder catches.
I also think that the kind of offense that Schonert is running doesn't depend on deep bombs. Even if Trent's rate of accuracy is good for only 30 yards we have seen him throw with great precision within that range. I'd rather see a thirty yard pass completed 80% of the time than a 50 yarder completed half of the time.
-
it always embarrasses me to see how many solid bills brethren get their panties in a wad over the comments of the talking heads. i'll take a win like this over a little ballwashing from sterling, TJ, mike, mad dog, nick buoniconti, skip ball-less or any other nationally syndicated douchebag you wish to fuss over. you know they're out there waiting to smarm. i'm telling you know, just LET THEM GO and enjoy a precedent-setting win
THANK YOU!!!
I'll admit, it feels nice to be congratulated on a job well done, but that's what Jim Rome is for, isn't he?
I'm just happy with the fact that we won a game against someone we weren't supposed to beat, have won against two 2007 playoff teams and now face three bad-average teams before our bye. Really, what else could we have asked for going into the season?
-
Schonert called a beauty for sure.
That he did. What would we have done last year on that final scoring drive when Trent lobbed it to Evans? SF probably would have run it up the
-ing middle. -
huh? that's your fault for giving a F what espn says.
I've got to agree. Furthermore, we should be THANKING ESPN for keeping us under the radar for as long as possible.
It's true that the two playoff teams that we beat so far had severe injuries, but that's what you do: take every opportunity given to you! Now we play three teams in a row in the bottom half of the league who have been only average at best so far. If we win all three before our bye ESPN will say that we have a soft schedule, but we'll still be 5-0. It's hard to argue with numbers like that.

Im sold
That was a playoff QB on the field today and im not talking about Gerard
And which team is the playoff contender again?
I'll eat crow on my earlier thoughts on TE. The man went ten for ten on his first ten and threw with amazing accuracy. That deep ball to Evans sure didn't look like it was missing any speed and it was right on the money.
-
So then how does winning this game mean nothing? You're not a very good poster.
I think what he meant was "the win itself means nothing". Which it does if we get in a tiebreak but I digress.
What's important is that we know how to close games, something we sucked at last year.
-
1. Trent Edwards: Made clutch throws for most of the day, especially on the winning drive.
2. Freddy Jackson: Are we sure we didn't sign him up as a tight end?
-
I don't want to get too ahead of myself, but yeah, we just beat a team no one on the planet (except around Buffalo) expected us to win. That's what teams who go to the playoffs do.

Sadly, I have to agree with you. I think Bills fans have a history of having unreasonable expectations from the get go. I certainly think that Hardy will be a good reciever, but he's still a rookie. You have to expect some changes and that things will not be perfect.
That said, I am looking forward to see him in the slot and in the red zone more.
