  1. I was born and raised in the Buffalo area. Even though I don't live there now I still support and watch them. I have seen many bad seasons (been watching since the mid 60's). Sat in Rich Stadium one year in the sleet in November when they won their first game of the year against Dallas. I do not jump on and off the bandwagon. As long as there is a Buffalo Bills I will watch and root for them through thick and thin, good and bad.

     

    Well, that's good, then. You're only stuck with them a couple more years.

  2. Yes today's loss sucked. And going 1 & 5 in our last 6 sucked harder. But if Bills beat Miami next week, they will be:

     

    - tied with them at 7 & 6;

    - could also be tied with Pats if they lose to Seattle, which they could after today's brutal beating and needing to travel to west coast;

    - could be one game behind Jets as today could also the mark the beginning of a losing streak of their own given they also travel to west coast to play 9ers (who aren't all that bad, as we saw today).

     

    Even if we win and Jets and Pats win, we're still very much in the thick of it as the week after we play the Jets. Win that and worst case we're a game behind them, likely ahead of Fins and tied with Pats. I could see us winning that too because although I like the talent the Jets have, I think they're coach Mangini is a fraud and could show his true colors down the stretch.

     

    Win the next week against Broncos and I see us ahead of Pats who play Cards that week in what I think is a terrible mismatch for Pats secondary. And Fins should be well behind in our rear view mirror.

     

    That sets up big showdown against Pats in Buffalo in last game of season. If it means everything is on the line, I could see Bills and their fans pulling one out and stealing the AFC east. And of course a 10 & 6 record gives us a good chance of capturing the wild card in the (I think) unlikely scenario we run the table from here and don't win the division. Running the table almost certainly puts us no worse than 2nd in AFC east, which means the wildcard competition comes from outside the division from Colts and Ravens. I am willing to concede Colts one of those spots, but I think Ravens are headed for a meltdown now with Skins, Steelers, Cowboys and Jags their remaining games. So I'd say 10&6 gives us 50/50 chance of catching them too.

     

    I know it's a long shot us winning out, but hey that would be the attitude of a perenial winning franchise like Steelers or Colts right now. They'd say hey guys, let's get on a roll now, be physical, and take these next 4 and I like our chances. That's the exact attitude Bills need right now, otherwise they are doomned, not just this year, but every year until they adopt that approach.

     

     

    Me thinks that there aren't many people who think that a team that couldn't take care of business at home against Cleveland and San Francisco are all of a sudden going to figure out how to beat the Pats, Jets and Dolphins...teams that they have already lost to once this season already.

     

    GO TAMPA BAY BUCS!!!!

  3. Doesn't bother me, I'm a Bills fan and I was thinking same thing. But I was also thinking it was coaches fault for making it 47 yards when they had the opportunity to get more and instead went into "secure mode" as if it were from the 12 yard line.

     

    I know it seems easy to blame the coaching there, and to some extent I can't blame you for doing so.

     

    But, in that particular case, with the game on the line, did you REALLY trust Trent Edwards NOT to throw a game-ending interception? I couldn't blame them for not throwing it there, especially when Lindell (who happens to be my fantasy kicker) is usually very clutch.

     

    Just my $.02

  4. Oh, they sure repeated it alright. At least 10 times in 60 seconds. Thanks, Bucs fan. That WAS classless of ESPN.

     

    Personally, I despise nearly all sports analysts, broadcasters and so-called "experts". I find them all usually a bunch of blow-hards that love to hear themselves talk.

     

    I know a bunch of Bills fans out here, as a lot of them drink at my local watering hole. I lost a few bucks on the Bills in a couple of their Super Bowl losses. Personally, I think they deserve better than what they get because I feel that Ralph Wilson is a class act, though skewing this board tells me that several Bills fans don't share my sentiment on that.

     

    I'd like to say "someday", but I've been telling a lot of my Bills fan buddies that for several years now...LOL. Nobody wants to hear it anymore!

     

    Anyways, sorry if my posting here is trolling.

  5. Hello, there. I watched the game tonight and can understand your pain.

     

    Watching Wide Right again and having the announcers repeat it over and over must have been like a dagger through the heart. I don't know if it was worse than the real Wide Right or the Music City Miracle, which was also referenced in the telecast, but losing on your home turf on MNF to a scrub team like Cleveland when you FINALLY get 100+ yards out of Lynch....that's gotta hurt.

     

    I feel for you. Truly.

     

    GO BUCS!
