I noticed that too, and that really is the biggest thing. The more we vote with our wallets by buying the throwbacks, the more reason we'll give OBD to go back to them full-time. On another note, while walking through the parking lot I saw a guy wearing a Bob McAdoo powder-blue Braves jersey. AWESOME!

I'm barely old enough (I'm 36) to remember the original standing buffalo. I've spent most of my life associating the Bills with the charging buffalo, for about a dozen years on the white helmet and for more than two decades on the red one. Yet I LOVED seeing them run out there with the old standing buffalo on their white helmets. I got chills, in fact. Like Kent Hull said -- and he played in the red helmets -- these uniforms just LOOK like Buffalo. I flashed back to all the tapes I've seen of the old days -- with Tom Sestak and Ron McDole chasing down hapless QBs, with Kemp airing it out to Golden Wheels and Cookie and the Juice breaking loose, and Lou Saban pacing the sideline. It made me feel good. Damn good. No one would be happier than me if we went back to the old unis.

I thought Gilbride's offense relied too HEAVILY on Drew's abilities. I would agree that Mularkey's offensive creativity and Drew's traditional QB talents don't mix well. And that, as Mr. Gump would say, is all I have to say about that.

My favorite Kelly moment was a game where he walked up to the ENTIRE offensive line, which was seated on the Bills' bench, and proceeded to ream them out individually and as a group for a good five minutes. And all 1,500 pounds of them sat there and took it, and then they went out and took out their anger on the opposition. I loved it yesterday when JP was the last player off the field at halftime because he was running along the stands getting the fans fired up. That was beautiful, man.

I don't understand this. How did we look like the Colts? The Colts have two white stripes around their shoulders. We had a different pattern of stripes, including some red, on our upper arms. The Colts have solid white pants. We had the red and blue stripes on our white pants. Even the shade of blue is different, and of course there's the helmet difference. Our current unis look as much like Tennessee's and Denver's as our throwbacks look like the Colts', perhaps more.

The other thing is that, particularly in the first half, JP was hitting everyone right in the numbers. OK, he hit Antwaan Peek right in the numbers to start the third quarter, but at least Peek dropped that one. (And wasn't Peek the guy running his mouth last week?) I'm impressed by the strength of his arm, but I'm even more impressed by his accuracy, both from the pocket and on the run.

That said, I was listening to JP's interview after the game and I have to say that not only does he LOOK like Adam Sandler, but he SOUNDS exactly like Sandler's "Excited Southerner" character from his "What The Hell Happened To Me" album. Anyone else agree?

It may have been 75 but it felt a hell of a lot hotter. If you were sitting in section 120 (to the right of the tunnel) like we were, you had the sun on the back of your neck, then on the left side of your face, and finally right in your face by game's end. Not a cloud to be seen. It was HOT, and we had to go into the concourse at halftime just to get some relief and a breeze. I look like a lobster and am going to peel like a mofo in the next couple of days. And yes, I left after we held them to a three-and-out after our final field goal.

The other thing he said that I loved was when a reporter asked him "Did you guys have to calm JP down out there?" And he said something like, "No, man, this is his team. He's the quarterback, he's in charge." I'd rather hear that than something like "Oh, yeah, we have to hold his hand and babysit him and make sure he doesn't get too excited."

Just make sure you guys have padding on the walls.

I thought we were done with that guy. Why is he still around?

I know. That's why I did this

Incidentally, did anyone else see the Nooooge slip and miss a 28-yarder yesterday?

It took Brinson five minutes to answer a caller's question about when was the last time Buffalo won a home opener. "Um let me see here, you're puttin' me on the spot, I don't have that information in front of me, let me work backward here, it wasn't LAST year because they lost to Jacksonville...." Then when he finally figured it out, he said the win against NE was in Bledsoe's first year with the Bills.

Wakeup call for the Irish... Check.

No, PK read it in Zim's column and parroted the same line as though he had some kind of inside scoop. The only scoop he ever gets is an extra scoop of Ben & Jerry's.

Touchdown.

Very cool to meet two legends (Scott and R.Rich) for the first time!

If the ball moves when it hits the ground, it's no catch, right? Because that ball definitely moved, whether it was secured in his hands before hitting the ground or not.

I think Fez offered to make you a DVD. Check that. A WMV file, I mean.

Here you go. Stevie may have seen it, but not our man Hollywood.

Best use of an all-smiley post EVER.

Common man, haven't you heard? All libruls are retarded maroons and baffoons who drink the kool-aid and nuke hotpockets.
