In response to the bolded: I think FItz was more accurate than I've ever seen him. Aside from the very first series of the game and his quintessential 4th quarter pick, I was impressed with his accuracy (granted, it's relative to his tenure with the bills). He's a better quarterback now than when he was with us.

One part of me is super jealous, because I so rarely go into a game actually believing we'll win. It's a defense mechanism of course, but my feelings are implicit. I can't force myself to be more confident in the team (although I'm usually pretty positive when we face the fish). For example, I'm already worried about laying an egg against the Chiefs. That being said, I'm never the type of person who revels in our misery like some here do. I really can't understand those folks. I'm so fired up from last night's win I've watched the game 2 more times (condensed)!

Don't know if I trust this team to go on the kind on run that we'll need from the Chiefs - Jets. But, last night was a big character builder in my opinion and hopefully it galvanizes the team.

Totally agree. That he's only played 8 7 NFL games and is producing like this is exciting. Can't wait to see his continued progression.

Kiper et al led the charge. I hate that some folks want Whaley gone.

Speaking of Fitz, I thought he was pretty dang accurate tonight, overall. I didn't notice those random wildly missed chekcdowns or slants he used to throw.

He was superb.

I agree that our O should have punched one of the many opportunities in. That being said, the emotions of this game, the times when it would have been easy to implode but we didn't - those are real learning moments and character builders for a team. Hell of a series. Surprised me to be frank. Maybe a little lucky on the 4th down throw.

I was praying, so hard, that this was a peter pan link. !@#$.

Always.

It would seem it's already happened. Until we can behave like choir boys out there, I expect more of the same.

Bummed they have Mangold.

My pre-game mental state is usually acute stress.

Dammit I want this game so bad. I will continue my lifelong trend of rarely feeling good about an upcoming game, but spare you guys any quantitative predictions.

lol

I don't think he's built a rapport with Tyrod at all yet. Not sure why. Hope it gets sorted.

What is our deal with this? We suck at it.

Fixed. "Once Brothers" was an utter joke. Lazy journalism and a revisionist perspective provided by Vlade - whom they treat as the defacto narrator. But that aside, I've been really impressed with most. The state of the Bills current season will dictate how I feel about watching this one haha.

Can you imagine how excited everyone would be if a 1st round pick was playing like Tyrod? I'm definitely excited to watch his progression. He's obviously still learning but the eye test is good and the ceiling is apparent. I expect a big season out of him next year, but regardless next year should go a long way toward revealing what we have. Shame EJ had to play against the jags, I think that one will cost us the playoffs.

I'm really worried we still won't be able to defend screens.

I cant stand that no talent assclown.

THIS

Roethlisberger only expected to miss 1-2 weeks (cleveland + bye week I believe). Crap. Shoulda pulled for the Raiders.

I've been trying to avoid thinking that our D won't really improve until next year, when we plug in players who are a better fit. Although the loss of our safeties cannot be overemphasized, so maybe there is hope for when Aaron returns (provided we still control our own destiny).

We need them to lose some games. Don't want to root for someone to miss playing time but...
