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.

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.

I really feel that with this team we can do something at any time, whether on defense, or offense or special teams. That's what makes them exciting to watch. Now excuse me I need to have a heart attack.

Dude! Chill! Even if we had lost the season wouldn't have been over. And as they say "victory excuses all mistakes"

Jesus, if they keep this up I'm going to have a heart attack. But since we won, it'll be the good kind.

How do you win a football game? Score more points than the other guy.

True 'nuff Dean. Granted, I WANT Trent Edwards to have a good season but if he's only average and we make it to the playoffs on the strength of the rest of the team I'd be far happier than if Edward's puts up great numbers but we go 7-9 again.

I don't care if Trent Edwards never becomes the next Tom Brady or Payton Manning. I think I speak for everyone here when I say that the team winning is the most important thing, not one individual player's stats.

I'm glad to have him, even if he doesn't end up starting. I know you don't want to break up and offensive line for chemistry purposes but if someone is really dragging and if the team would really benefit from giving a player a break, then all the better. Especially when you're exposed to soul sucking heat that you find in the south :quakes in agony:

Well this week I happen to like 'em.

I think it's pretty good, though I think he's looking too much at last season's game as a standard. The Bills I saw last Sunday were a vastly different team than last year. I think he missed three big points. 1) Last year we sent A-train against them on the run. This year we'll have the Marshawn/Jackson combo instead. 2) Trent vs. Lossman: I know, I was a Lossman fan once too. But after the three four and outs to start Trent looked pretty good, considering the time he had spent recovering during preseason. Lossman was eratic at best, even if he was awesome in top form. 3) Offensive Coordination: This one is a no brainer. Turk may be new, but if the balanced, varied offensive attack we ran against the Seahawks was any indication the Jags can't expect us to run it to the left on every third down like SOME people liked to do. (Damn you SF!)

True 'nuff there, even though I hate to say it. I personally think that the Bills will have an edge, but I'm hardly impartial here. Also, let's remember that the season's only just begun. Everyone bases at least some assumptions on how well a team did last year. We sputtered with a huge point deficit and they managed to make the playoffs. Still, if we play the same way we did on Sunday and they play the same as THEY did then I think we're going to win.

I think it's fitting that the man is doing well so far. Even with only the half sack he did an awesome job all game. Did we manage to keep count of the times he hit Hasselbeck? I swear Stroud spent more time in the backfield than the line of scrimmage. Plus, it's a rousing "!@#$ you" to the people who said he wouldn't get back in form. Now, he's playing the people who said it. "Just another game"?

Damn, now they know our secrets! Eh, we'll still kick the Jag's asses.

True, an awesome comment, and quite true. As much as I love the fact that people are suddenly seeing us as contenders (it seems it took a few days for the 24 point win to sink in) I think we should at least play just as well, if not better, against Jacksonville on Sunday. We were given a slight edge in the rankings against the Hawks in Week 1 and the last time I checked we're still underdogs against the Jags. We need to win games we aren't supposed to if we're going to make the playoffs.

That dude is SO going to get the sh-- kicked out of him my the mob of Pats* fans...well, those who are left now that the possibility of losing has been mentioned.

I don't doubt that we had problems last year. You can blame SF, but in reality the buck stops with the head coach. Still, it's refreshing to see such a remarkable change from last year. For the first time in a while I felt as if we had the ability (not that is always happened) to make any third down situation. After the offense warmed up it got really entertaining.

I'm actually ok with not being noticed. I mean, it sucks to be looked down on, but if say, the Jags actually listen to Madden they might not take us as seriously. Last time I checked they were still the favorites, even though they lost a close one to the Titans and we blew an NFC playoff team out of the water.

This was little surprising, considering Madden's snub but it seems like someone over there (Tim Grahmn) has a little hope for us. link

"Back and to the left. Back and to the left." No, I DO wish injury on Tom Brady, just for all his scary ability to ride the Belicheat machine. The year they get caught is when they set all the records.

But didn't he complain about getting fined over such a blatantly late hit? I've tried to block last season from my mind so I'm unsure.

Seriously? Last year they made a running elbow shot to J.P.'s knee. I saw the replay, Brady wasn't down when the guy grabbed his leg and he started to go down. Legal hit.

I'm going to have to go with Roscoe and Moorman on this one, Roscoe because that return was truly epic and technically the winning touchdown and Moorman for all the intangibles PLUS a TD pass. It is a nice -slap though to those people who said that Stroud would never be as good as he used to be.
