Meanwhile, Cowherd is tearing us apart. Saying we're a .500 team at best, that our wins haven't been that good and we've only beat a KC team where Cassel was injured and couldn't throw and 2 home games that we should have lost. What a dlck. I usually don't like Rome that much, but I'll be listening to him for the rest of the day today.

Man, if you're not excited now, when will you be? The season is about 20% complete, I think the discussion is warranted.

I agree. With the rookie QB and their power RB most likely out with a suspension I definitely see the DL and Merriman wreaking some havoc on them. 5 or 6 sacks.

Saw a fantasy football team named "Wilfork for Food." Thought that was pretty classic.

1. Bill flipping out on the sideline after Freddy's catch down to the one. Not only was it a great play by Freddy but Bill flipping out like that was icing on the cake. Despite was I've read on here, I believe what he was really aruguing about was that he wanted it to be a touchdown and didn't want a review. You can read his lips says "we want the touchdown." Ref basically wags his finger in his face and says, "ta ta ta, that's not up to you buddy." It was fantastic. 2. Florence's pick 6. 3. Lindell's kick...it was so short that it was virtually a lock, if it was longer and he made it it would be #1.

The Bills haven't had much luck at 1, 4, Sunday Night, Monday Night, Saturday, or any other time the last 5-6 years.

Can't believe they'll have a great shot of replacing Manning with Andrew Luck. Crazy. I think it's between them, the fish, Seahawks, and KC at this point. They all look terrible.

Definitely see either the Pats or Jets losing next week, hopefully both. We should win easily, but definitely cannot take anything for granted. With Vick supposedly out week 5, a 5-0 start is very possible. The Giants will be a tough one. There is no reason we won't be 4-2, could easitly be 5-1 and may be 6-0. I would have never thought we'd be so relevant this year. Awesome.

I think that if a defender was running down the field with their head up looking for where the ball was, they are likely to get absolutely laid out by one of the blockers. That was a pretty neat little trick, surprised that it's never been tried before (at least I've never seen it).

I like this. In the tunnel until 0:13, then they come storming out.

He just picked Buffalo to beat N.E.

I saw it at 9.5 yesterday.

Butter Face.

Exactly. It's not the odds that you will be hit, it's the odds that a person would be hit. Quite different numbers.

Thank a fire fighter or police officer today. They literally ran into hell to do anything they could to help strangers and I'm sure your local officials would do the exact same thing if an event required it.

How many times do I have to read posts from people who think they are clever making fun of someone who has sub-par grammar by doing things like: interchanging their/there/they're, two/too/to, or then/than switching "s" and "c" spelling phonetically It's not clever, it's just annoying. Some people suck at grammar, get over it and move on. As long as I can understand what they are writing, then that's good enough for me.

Pretty good, but that's a limerick, not a haiku.

Optimism is a good thing, but you have to be somewhat realistic at the same time. I'm completely optimistic that this team is finally moving in the right direction, but I'm also realistic to say that we are going to stink this year. Until we have an offensive line that can block someone we are going nowhere, period. Hopefully, this year's draft was as good as a lot of us think and we have another solid one next year and make a playoff push. Who knows, two or three good drafts and we may be a serious contender. The defense looked pretty serious when Merriman was on the field last week and hopefully that is what we'll see this year over what we did tonight, but the O-Line is in rough, rough shape. That was the worst defense in the league last year (sans Elvis and Miller). Fitzpatrick will be lucky to make it out of this season alive and Spiller has basically no hope of progressing with a line like that. If we are bad enough to get Luck, great, if not hopefully we are bad enough to get the best O-Lineman in the draft. I think Fitz would be a baller with an extra second or two in the pocket.

Cam's stats last year: 2854 yds, 30/7, 66.1% comp. 1473 yds rushing, 20TDs, 5.6 avg. Pryor's stats last year: 2772 yds, 27/11, 65% comp. 754 yds rushing, 4 TDs, 5.6 avg. Both large, athletic, and fast QBs with strong arms. Obviously Cam ran the ball a lot more than Pryor did but they had the same average per carry, basically the same completion percentage and passing yards, and the TD/INTs are not really that far off. Giving Pryor's progession from 2009 to 2010 where his passer rating rose from 128.9 to 157.9 it is very conceivable that he would come even closer to Cam's numbers (or even exceed them in the passing game). Now, the Big 10 is certainly not the SEC, no question, but to say they are being compared to one another because they are "black QBs that can run" is a pretty stupid comment (only brought up by you). With a solid season this year, it is very likely that Prior could have played himself into the first round of next year's draft (same as Cam did this year). I still feel a 4th is a good safe pick to risk. Do we really need Levi Brown on the roster?

Dude played in front of 100,000 in college and how can you say that Cam Newton is a much more talented NFL player when he hasn't played a single regular season game yet? Take a chance on him in the 4th. If QB doesn't work out why not try him at TE? He has the size for it. I don't know why everyone thinks he is such a bum. So he sold some items for some extra cash and tats, who cares? Do you really think there is a single elite college football player that hasn't bent the rules? If you look at how he looked in his first and second season compared to last year you would see a lot of development in decision making, accuracy, and leadership. I think it's worth taking a chance.

Call it trolling, say I'm not a Bills fan, make fun of grammatical errors, whatever. It seems like the Bills front office is just as optimistic as I am about the potential of the team this year after trading Evans for a 4th round pick.

Good job man, you're really smart. I'm sure those huge grammatical errors made the post indecipherable to all the readers. Good thing you showed up and cleared it up for everyone. I don't know where you get the arrogance take. I myself am a huge Bills fan or I wouldn't be here. What makes an optimistic person more of a fan than a person who takes a more realistic view? Just stating some observations and opinions. That's all. And I really, really, really hope I'm wrong!

The optimism on this site is entertaining to say the least. No one can site a professional opinion that states we will be anything close to a .500 team yet yahoo's on here are calling for 7-8-9-10 wins. Apparently Bill's fans know more about football than everyone else. To say that we are going to win (1) against the Jets/Patriots and win against the Dallas, KC, and the Giants is simply laughable. We may squeek out one or two of those games, but it's just as likely that we lose one, two, three, or four against the Skins, Fins, Titans, Oakland, Tenn, and Denver. We are a 3-6 win team this year, end of story.

I'm sorry but I still think these posters saying 7, 8, 9, even 10 wins this year are completely mad. I do like the direction the team is going and am optimistic for the future but to think that it's coming this year is just foolish. All those posters that praise last year and how we could have won this game or that game on top of what we did win, well, we could have also just as easily lost every game that we did win. How come that is never mentioned? My hopes, a true playoff push in 2012 and maybe a contender in 2013 or 2014. I'll sure as hell stick it out for as long as it takes though.

For all the agruements of us winning 4 games last year and that we should/could have won more (Fins, Baltimore, KC, Steelers), we could have just as easily lost all 4 games that we won and should have definitely lost the Bengals game with that start.
