I looked on ticketmaster and there are scattered singles in the 100's and quite a few left in the 300's. Hopefully it gets down to the point where the TV station will buy them out.

He made a mistake.

I think both ... they are better and they faced a NE team that without Marcia would have been pretty bad. They had 2 receivers that belong on an NFL team, and one of them re-injured his groin at the end of the first half and was STILL effective the entire second half. And I'm not sure what everyone is praising McLovin for. He played against guys who didn't know how to run a route, plus got away with at least one obvious PI. Manuel I thought played a good game considering. Spiller was awful, SJ still seems to drop the big ones, and this hurry up they are running hurt them a lot .. particularly at the end. Marrone also had a bad game with the ridiculous challenge then not slowing the game down at the end. O-Line was pretty good I thought. The run blocking must have been OK because FJ was running fine and the pass blocking seemed good as well. The D -Line was MIA again. The secondary was well, the secondary. Gilmore and Byrd were both missed a LOT. Three turnovers by NE is what kept it close. One on the Bills goal line after a long drive and another run back for 6 which was also pretty deep in the Bills end. The Bills tried to keep up in that category as well, and did manage to "win" the penalty contest. A tough game to watch with all the mistakes and general poor play from both teams. Sadly I told my family as soon as SJ dropped that 3rd down pass late that the Pats* would win the game by 2 points. Say what you will about Marcia, the S.O.B comes through when it counts, as did the 2 NE receivers. All is not lost however. Things will improve. Marrone/Hackett will figure out how to use Spiller effectively. Manuel will certainly improve as the season goes on. Gilmore will return as hopefully will Byrd. And please God let Pettine figure out how to get this high priced D-Line to play worth a ****. The secondary cannot afford to commit blitzers all the time just to get pressure on the QB. I expected it to be very rough out of the gate and hoped to see improvement throughout the season. I got the first part, now on to the second!

Just a brain fart rookie mistake. Hopefully its out of his system now.

It's your turn when the team earns it.

Gotta love a man with a plan

Now if only Mario can wipe his ass with Marcia today.

How do you figure? The Bills defense has mostly the same players, except for one of the best who is out. The Bills DC BellyCheat has prepared for many times. I would say he knows the Bills defense pretty well. On the offensive side, he knows SJ13 and Spiller. Doesn't know the rookie HC or OC unless he decided to watch some 'cuse film, and is playing a QB he hasn't seen before, but who is also a rookie. Not exactly in the dark, However none of the Bills coaches have prepared for the cheaters before so they are more in the dark than BellyCheat is in my opinion. In my opinion if the Bills D front 4 step up and play not just a good game, but a great game, and Spiller can find some running room, the score stays respectable. If not it could be an ugly afternoon at the Ralph.

You might want to put them in the blender and have a flutie-flake shake

CBS picks the cheaters with and without the spread. Cheaters across the board at ESPN, Fox, and NBC (ProFootballTalk) as well. I guess the only true believers are in the Bills locker room and TBD

A fine tradition returning! Make sure you load up on wings tonight so that's what Marcia wil be wiping off of you ass! For us it was my kids eating Flutie Flakes, then it was TO's. Now we watch during dinner eating pizza in various Bills apparel.

I haven't run the numbers, but I strongly suspect that even if a team lost the first 7 games they would not be mathamatically eliminated. 9-7, or even worse, has slipped into a wilcard spot in the past I believe.

3. I only have ~75 minutes (I watch without commercials or halftime while eating dinner).

I believe it is only 1 more season after this. Spiller has the option to void the last year of his contract if he wants to. I don't see any reason for the Bills to wait.

I agree with this. the only thing that prevents this from happening is the front 4 of the D stepping up big time and getting constant pressure on Marcia without having to bring others to help.

I sure hope there isn't a ton of cheatriats fans to be found.

Show me ... the baby ???

What would be the purpose or reason for such a bias?

I don't get this attitude at all, unless of course you are just trolling. A rebuilding season, which I agree this is, does not have to be dismal. Are the Bills likely to lose more games than they win this season ... quite possibly. But they now have their QB of the future in my opinion, as well as a head coach, OC, and DC that aren't coaching like it was 1990. Last year at this time I agreed with your "dismal" prediction because it was obvious to all but the most optimistic Bills fans. But this year should be anything but dismal as there are many things to look forward to seeing. Not the least of which is seeing how Manuel adapts to the NFL and to see if this high priced defensive line can earn it's money now that they have a decent DC. Buck up buttercup and strap on a pair.

If its in the endzone he lets it go and if not he fair catches it. Or worse yet, not in the endzone and he lets it go.

Just ordered a shirt. As a father myself, I sincerely wish your entire family nothing but the best.

I have no inside info either, but I would say if the "trade me" rumor is true, and if Parker/Byrd feel that the Bills are working on that in good faith, then I think he plays. Otherwise it is just another round in the ongoing pissing contest and Byrd sits because quite frankly, that's the only leverage he has.

Agreed. But it sounds to me like there is no flexibility on both sides of the table, not just the one. And why should Byrd want to be back bad enough to take less money than he feels he is worth on the open market? Why shouldn't the Bills want him bad enough to pay what he is asking? They sure did for "Super" Mario, and then some. The reality is they came to an impasse. Due to a poor job (in my opinion) by the players union, the Bills had the tag card to play which they did. Which led to posturing by Parker/Byrd and so on and ultimately nobody wins.

No agent should accept $1.5mil less than what (s)he feels is fair market value for their client. If Parker felt he could get that much and a long term deal elsewhere then he not only had the right to play it the way he did, but he had the obligation to Byrd as well. It's just business. Parker and Byrd are looking out for their interests just like the Bills are looking out for theirs. This one seemingly has escalated to a decidedly adversarial situation unfortunately with Bills players and fans caught in the middle.

Reading through these predictions, yours seems to be one of the more realistic ones. But hey, as of right now the Bills are undefeated and tied for first!
