Nice. Stadium tours and digital rectal exams. Who could refuse?

Fitz, Jackson, Gailey, Campbell, the OL... Victory has a thousand fathers.

Exactly what I was thinking. Do you really want Tom Brady to get injured trying to make a tackle? The best way for him to make it up is to lead his team to a TD on the next series (which he did).

Bellicheck is no Rex Ryan from the podium.

This. If the Bills beat the Pats then they are a lot better than I thought they were.

So now Merriman gets injured during intros? It may be time to consider throwing him on the pile with McGee and Parrish.

Even better, maybe he can start calling some games again.

The Steeler OL did not look that solid last season.

What is Brad Smith doing? He is never thrown to. He runs like 3 plays per game as a wildcat running back. I don't see how this is better than having another real wide receiver on the roster and using Jackson as the wildcat back.

Merriman has done nothing these first two weeks to make me believe this. He's basically been invisible and that's a primary cause of the lack of pass rush from the defense.

What were the percentages a few years ago when they were 5-1? Let's wait until we get through the first half of the season, then we'll see about playoffs.

DJ must give a mean interview.

Raiders aren't going to roll over and die like the Chiefs did. This will be a tough game and a real test for the run defense and offensive line- the Bills two weakest areas last season. We'll see how much has changed.

There was never a concern when Olivadotti was DC. I love the announcers criticizing Kelly's time management in the two minute offense. LOL.

I was wondering the same.

So much for the chicken wing eating contest B.S. that people were slinging around the board this week. I wish that people wouldn't speculate flippantly about someone else's health.

This. Really until the Bills beat an obviously good team that the media has been fawning over like the Jets or NE*, the Bills will only get moderate credit for their wins.

Jauron is a career loser. He had one winning season in 13 years as a head coach with two franchises (three if you count the partial year he spent with Detroit), and that year his team was defeated in the first playoff game. For anyone to defend keeping him on as head coach with a straight face is to be in complete denial.

Biscuit was great, but no way in heck would a trade ever happen like that again. Nowadays you can get Pro Bowl players for a 3rd or 4th round pick and back in 1987 the Bills gave up 2 first round picks, a 2nd round pick and a Pro Bowl running back for Bennett-then had to pay half of Bell's salary the first year in order for the Rams to accept Bell (they wanted Ronnie Harmon). Bell was a malcontent and hardly no team in the league wanted anything to do with him, despite him making the Pro Bowl as a rookie. The Rams got 3 first round picks, 3 second round picks and some scrub for a running back who already had half a dozen seasons in the league. Check out the link for the below Los Angeles newspaper article where Bell has some not so kind words for our owner. Halloween Trade Well, the Bills drafted Thurman Thomas that year so the solved the running back problem fairly quickly and easily.

The Chiefs are going to come out throwing the ball, mark my words. The will anticipate that the Bills will start out hyped up and overcommitted to stopping the run, so they're going to try and make a few big plays passing the ball and then turn to the running game once the defense is off balance.

I liked Heard too, but Edwards looks better at this point. Heard, Troup, Carrington and Johnson are very solid depth/rotational players. I'm sure there will be some disagreement with this, but I think that the position the DL is still in need of is NT. Williams is a very good penetrating DT but he is not a big time, giant, space eating NT. The Bills are going to need someone like that to really become a team that can't be run against.

Except that when you look at the comparisons you've made, the late 90s team is better in single every one.

That's what I was thinking.

I believe that this was Dan Marino's first game as QB for Miami.

Jim Kelly was good.
