I haven't seen any evidence that a declared starter at RB means anything.

Honestly, even if they banned alcohol and the drunken dumbasses stopped going, I'd still prefer watching at home with the commercials and halftime stripped out. There are simply too many advantages to enjoying the game in considerably less time and at the time of my choosing.

This line gets right to the heart of it in my opinion. I believe the vast majority of people that go to sabres games go for the game. Whereas the [vast maybe] majority of people that go to Bills games go for the event.

I see. The problem seems to be associated with many hours of drinking prior to the event. I have very very rarely seen issues at a sabres game for example. And the times that I have seen issues, it was during games like Montreal where some Habs fans had been drinking heavily on the bus ride from Montreal. My one and only time seeing puke on the bathroom floor was during a Habs game. Dealing with dumbasses unfortunately is a fact of life, particularly at a sporting event it seems. But when they are are also hammered it can be unbearable. My choice is to sidestep the entire problem and enjoy the game with my family at home. Besides avoiding the drunken dumbasses, there are many other benefits as pointed out in other threads.

So it's OK because it's an NFL problem and not a Buffalo problem?

I prefer this one. http://www.sportsclubstats.com/NFL/AFC/AFCEast/Buffalo.html It shows that if the Bills go 5-1 they have a 67% chance of making the playoffs. However at 4-2 they fall off a cliff at a 9% chance. With the exception of maybe Jax, none of the remaining games are a lock. But none are a lock for a loss either. I have a hard time seeing 5-1 with the remaining schedule, but they hold their destiny in their own hands.

You forgot blind optimism.

Actually there is a lot wrong with this world. And your post shows that quite nicely.

I'm with him.

That's how it is in Buffalo for the kids day preseason game. Wish they were all like that, but it is what it is.

Or on black friday.

If you watch closely that kind of crap goes on every play unless the receiver breaks into the clear. Was it PI, sure. Is it going to be called frequently on one team and not the other, not normally. And yes, the fairly obvious non-call on the Bills for PI was helpful as well.

He knows that Spiller is a waterbug and not physically built to take a pounding.

It was called very well overall. But is was favorable to the Bills. Those marginal PI calls in the first half for example generally don't get called on anyone. Much less multiple times and all against the same team. It was an ugly win, but a win. And the zebras did their part.

My heart is saying the Bills take this one and the last game against the nyets and split with 2 of the teams in the AFCE this season and use that momentum next year. Unfortunately my brain agrees with the article.

I honestly do not think Gailey wants his waterbug to get that many touches per game. If Gailey runs a lot, I expect to see Choice get more than a couple of them.

Everyone should have concerns about every game the Bills play this season. Every team, even Jax, is looking at the Bills as a very possible win.

Ohhhhhhh you're killing me man

And regardless of what happens Thursday, there will be at least 1 before all games until the Bill are mathematically eliminated.

I don't care. It's a sellout so we get to watch on TV. The Bills have 4 of their last 6 games at home and this very well could be the only remaining home game not blacked out so I am going to enjoy it in HD and not a crappy internet feed..

The Bills have been "2 plays away" from the playoffs for 13 years now. Anything is possible until they are mathematically eliminated. But they have left themselves no room for error. We will see what happens tomorrow night.

Possible. Or SJ running his mouth. I have my opinion on which is more likely. BTW, I deleted my post thinking the OP deleted that tweet in his, but now I see he just reordered them.

It was borderline in my opinion. Most, if not all, of the head contact was when Fitz was on his way down already. But close is always going to be ruled in favor of the QBs safety.

Of course. Would Wade Phillips take a DC job in Buffalo? No !@#$ing way. While you are out shopping, pick up Cowher as HC.

If the Bills finish reasonably strong, which is possible given their remaining schedule, they may have to give up a bunch of their picks in order to get one of the few good QBs this draft. Would have stood a better chance last year, but that time has passed.
