  1. F*ck time of possession.

     

    Our defense doesn't need help getting off the field and staying fresh against a team missing all three of their interior O-linemen. The offense doesn't need to think about protecting the D.

     

    Just. Score. Points.

     

     

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

  2. Of course, you are both right.

     

    But, there are times when teams win DESPITE the play of the QB, and then I understand fans wanting a QB change. Chicago certainly wasn't comfortable with Rex at QB. Baltimore has had success, yet they have changed their QB on a number of occasions. And, I recall a time when the Bills were winning while their QB wasn't performing very well.

     

    Fortunately, this is not the case with the Bills (at least not so far, this year).

     

    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.

  3. 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:

  4. 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!)

  5. Yeah, cause they've proven that they're just that overwhelmingly good.

     

    The heat in Jax alone makes us an underdog.

     

    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.

  6. 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"? :thumbsup:

  7. Last nights NFL network broadcasts featured the Bills .

    Clips of us destroying Seahawks.

    Clips of Marshawn runs and being a joker.

    Clips of Special teams highlights.

    Clips of Marcus dominating line play.

    Clips of Trent breaking down game film.

    And big part of AFC playbook featuring Bills offense and defense.

     

     

    Damn, now they know our secrets!

     

    Eh, we'll still kick the Jag's asses.

  8. Great comment...."And Seattle ... well, I had to include someone from the NFC West, even if that someone just got ghetto-stomped by the Bills."

     

    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.

  9. Hold on now, Dick Jauron DESERVED the criticisms. As you can see, the fans who were demanding a wide open, creative and unpredictable offense all throughout that death march of a '07 season were right! For whatever reason DJ failed and/or refused to adjust to what was clearly NOT working from the very beginning of last season. Obviously he headed the call for a change. He knew deep down that he was a goner if he did not change his ultra conservative and predictable play not to lose ways. I commend him on this much improved coaching style! Major props to Dick Jauron! Just like Tom Coughlin headed the call for a change, it looks like Dick Jauron was man enough to do it also. This is a BIG development Bills fans. Look what that change did for the Giants fortunes.

     

    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.

  10. 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.

  11. I wish you could be in Boston today. They are talking on sports radio like someone died. The tv stations keep showing replays of the injury like it was the Zapruder film.

     

    I don't wish a serious injury on anyone, even Tom Brady. What I take joy in is knowing that the classless jerks who have been smack talking for years are now faced with the reality that their team's season has gone down the shitter. And this was no surprise -- I didn't see a single Patriots hat or shirt or jacket on the train today.

     

    "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.

  12. 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 :wallbash: -slap though to those people who said that Stroud would never be as good as he used to be.

  13. I was checking my email today when a list of "top ten best fan bases" came up. Naturally, I consider us one of the best considering the fact that we keep selling out games despite the fact that we haven't seen the playoffs in almost a decade.

     

    We're there, but the person was a total dick:

     

    After all the heartbreak from four straight Super Bowl losses and the rebuilding years since, Bills' fans pack in every Sunday, usually in -10 degree weather to root on their team. Yes, you can argue they are on this list out of pure boredom — what else is there to do in Buffalo? — but people in Atlanta, Miami, and Arizona don't show up in perfect weather so the loyalty of a Bills fan can never be questioned.

     

    It was as if Willis McGahee was writing the article, only legible and a backhanded compliment.
