London Fletcher's the only one that really burns me, he would have been a great backbone for our defense for years. Marshawn didn't outwardly hate Buffalo either if I recall, ownership just hated him.

Wish I could say you're wrong, but that list of names is pretty hard to read.

I was referencing to Merriman on the Bills, I'm well aware he was a great player when he was all juiced up.

Eh, even when healthy Merriman was useless.

A small bright spot in this week of misery. This coaching staff seems to have some accountability.

Very interesting, wonder what this means, if anything, for Chandler.

Four games, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, NYJ, and now this.

I just wanna move away and start a new. Forget I ever liked the Buffalo Bills, somewhere sunny maybe...

The defense was dominant and Mario Williams was a part of it. JJ Watt has 6.5 sacks on the year, he suck now too? There's a lot more to defense than sacking the QB. The Jets couldn't move the ball and our DEFENSE was making plays regardless of if the individuals were named Mario Williams. People seem to forget he pretty much single-handedly won us the game in Miami, and is a league leader in sacks. I'm all for complaining but come on, its gotta be warranted.

It's weird, even though this is a new regime I expect this team to have a chance at winning every week. Maybe Marrone's winning mentality is contagious. I can see 8-8 being very possible, and me being very happy with that record considering the extremely close games we've had this year. Looking forward to watching EJ again the most if I'm being honest, for me the playoffs are out of reach but I'm excited about making a run for it.

Generally if I'm not seeing a defensive back on the field he's having a good game. But Byrd did have the won hit to knock the ball loose on what would've been a first down catch near the red zone, and he stepped up in run coverage for a stop at the LOS. I didn't see him get burned so I'm happy about that.

He's like 2nd in the NFL for sacks, and won us the game today...

Show me any defensive end who wins games for his team week in and week out. Of course he's not worth $96 million, nobody other than a quarterback in this league will EVER be worth that type of money but I can say this, I'm glad he's on our team.

The morning show guys are great, and I like Sal Cappacio, but Schopp does in fact hate football and I really can't stand listening to him sometimes. I feel like he takes unfavorable opinions just for the sake of it. Bulldog is usually good, but yes I too can't stand hockey talk in the middle of October on the "flagship" station for the Bills.

This is more of a case of the fans making implications about Byrd not wanting to be here and having nothing to base it on, Safety is a game changing position and I can't wait to see him in this defense as soon as possible. He'll earn his 8mil a year, and we should give it to him.

Those people deserve the chair, none of this lethal injection crap. Make this @$*%& burn.

Remember when EJ said the offense was "basic"? Turns out he wasn't lying, our offense is about as vanilla as our defense was last year. I'm hopeful for Thad Lewis and hope he can play well enough to where we'll be competitive, though I fully expect Hackett to run at least 60% of the time. This game will be won or lost by our defense and run game.

It was the opposite of us signing Derrick Dockery. A solid guard but nothing more (if not less than that for Dockery). I loved Levitre and would have loved him for 4-5mil a year but nothing to what he got paid in Tennessee.

The defense knows it has to be them that wins us this game. I'm just hoping our offense can keep a good pace and control the clock. Limit turnovers/penalties/special teams TDs and you always have a chance to win a football game.

Pretty much this. Roll with him for now and pick your REAL backup in next years draft in rounds 3-4. I'm firmly abide by the "just keep drafting QBs until you land one" philosophy, but I'm happy with how EJ's progressing. Pretty hard to base that off of 4 and a half games, with a rookie OC who's been taken advantage of in the red zone. After Carolina we all thought we had the guy, I'm no where near ready to give up on him.

Its just fun to talk about for middle of the week stuff. Nice to see us getting some recognition for a big win. Excited to see if our Defense can take it to NYJ, though I have a feeling Rexy'll have a plan for his old DC.

20, first memory is the Music CIty Miracle with my uncle saying "There's still time left" as we all thought we were going to the next round. Not bitter yet, though being tested every year.

I have to be honest, as an optimist myself the Bills put me to the test yesterday, and like many of you I was damn near ready to throw the rest of the season away BUT since I'm a Bills fan with a passion that burns like the eternal flame I was able to find several good things out of yesterdays shalacking. 1.) Run defense greatly improved The Jets could get absolutely nothing going on the ground, just what we saw in the preseason this defense is built to plug gaps. In this NFL solid run D is not as important as it once was but is still a positive if we can shore up the pass defense. 2.) We almost came back No seriously, we did. The Spiller fumble was a pretty damn iffy call and had it been ruled incomplete on the field there's no way it would've been overturned. Fitz throws one less pick, we don't give up a punt return TD, and we start to establish the run EARLIER and that game plays out very differently. 3.) Fitz was bad, but that's as bad as he gets. I can confidently say that was the worst game I've ever seen Ryan Fitzpatrick play, and he still got 3TDs. Is he a good QB? No, in fact he's much more on the side of terrible than he ever will be good. But he's shown he can win games and does have the ability to throw 4TDs and no picks in a game. If he doesn't work out, we'll see how T-Jack does in week 6. 4.) Spiller finally not a bust He looked good, he looked really really good. Making people miss, waiting for blocks to setup and then turning on the burners. Spiller was the only bright spot on a woeful offense but he was a star. He'll be splitting with Freddy evenly when he returns, slowly taking the full time spot, the kid is an absolute stud and I think the game finally slowed down for him. 5.) This team with a good starting QB is a consistent playoff contender When Fitz throws well, our offense can score, now if we had a QB who could throw well EVERY GAME, well, we'd be a top ten offense, easily. Obviously we aren't going to have that guy by the end of the season but its been 12 years, what the hell's another offseason? 6.) MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL IT'S WEEK ONE. ONE WEEK. ONE GAME OF SIXTEEN. Do you remember last year? We blew the Chiefs out 41-7, started 5-2, and then sucked. Week one is hardly ever an indication of how a team will play for the rest of the season. We have issues like every other team, and as hard as it is to hear we are still building. This season ain't over, the sky STILL isn't falling, trust me I checked, and the Bills are still in the playoff hunt as far as I'm concerned.

That could have just as easily been a 21 year old driver, or a 45 year old one for that matter. Under 21=/=stupid and reckless. Stupid and reckless=stupid and reckless.

I've often said the same thing, whenever someone brought up Fitz's INTs last year I'd always say well Eli threw the most last year. Granted we're comparing a 2 time SB winner and 1st overall pick to, well, Fitz. But still I think some comparisons can be made, if nothing more that a player can have a poor year one year and have a fantastic one the next.
