A few short weeks ago he was the toast of Buffalo. A couple months ago every one here insisted Mr. Wilson back up the brinks truck to Williams house and would have crucified both Mr. Wilson and Buddy Nix if they had not. The same fans now want Williams run out of town after 4 games. Tough crowd.

I'm watching the Buffalo and Rochester sportscasters who have their own local post game show try and put a positive spin on the game. Hilarious. But they did show Gaileys and Fitzs presser. They both used the word embarrassed and Gailey looks like a tired and beaten old man. FYI Gailey said ankles for both Urbik and Glenn and they both will be out for a while.

This game is not on Fitz. Fitz was exactly what you should expect to get out of him, some good throws, and some unbelievably bad throws. That farce of a game is on the D line, Gailey, Stache and Nix. I include Nix because he is the one ultimately responsible for Fitz being the starting QB.

That's my point. Even if they play, they are not healthy so BellyCheat won't be worried about them.

Sounds like he is trying to be that douche Carton from NYC. Didn't really slam the Bills much, mainly just Buffalo.

Logical? The Bills have been bad seemingly forever. The pats* have been good seemingly forever. The Bills acquired players that on paper made them considerably better defensively from last year. So far the Bills lost to a mediocre Jets team, and beat bad KC and Browns teams. NE* crushed the Titans, and lost 2 close games to two decent teams (AZ and Balt). Expecting to win is fine because you are a Bills fan. But how is it logical?

If you think BellyCheat is staying up nights worrying about a hobbled FJ or CJ then I have a bridge I can sell you cheap He will prepare for the Bills running game in general because that is the cornerstone of the Bills offense. But he won't waste much if any time worrying about still injured players that may try to play. Now if FJ and/or CJ are actually healthy and this entire thing is a smokescreen, that would be impressive

Not Fred and CJ being injured, it is the Moorman situation that makes it tough huh.

I'm not sure why anyone outside of Buffalo should think the Bills will win. The Bills lost badly to the Jets, then beat KC and the Browns. Now FredEx and Spiller, arguably the best 2 players on the team, are hurt and listed as questionable. Even if they manage to play they will not be near 100%. Any outsider looking at this game laughs and moves to the next one. Don't worry about what other people think and say.

I think some of the "can't lose 3" stuff is because the Pats shouldn't be caught napping this year. The first game last year Marcia looked like she had never even played the game before. Then in the second game the pats* rattled off something stupid like 48 straight points. At 1-2 and having lost the last 2, most people suspect the pats* won't be sleeping Sunday. I give the Bills an outside chance if everything goes perfectly, no mistakes by the Bills (particularly Fitz) and several big ones by the pats*, and the Bills D knocking Marcia down on every play. But otherwise the pats* are still more talented than the Bills in my opinion, and there should be no gift game from Marcia this time around.

Apparently he is the only one at ESPN that thinks that way. http://espn.go.com/nfl/picks

OK .. so who doesn't like Nate now?

http://www.sportsclubstats.com/football/USA/NFL/Buffalo.html has the odds at 76.2% if the Bills hit 9-7. But it drops off a cliff at 18.8% if the Bills end up at 8-8.

I rarely hear any sports team talk at work, water cooler or otherwise, and that includes this week. I think you may grossly overestimate the impact of NFL teams on the general population. You cannot judge the general population by what you see here

Pocket change, Kraft will probably pay it.

This stretch (and I also include the next one against the rotten fish) defines this season. So far they have lost badly to the Jets then beaten two mediocre at best teams. It all starts now. It's time to deliver the baby.

Part of me hopes Gailey knows full well that Spiller and maybe even FredEx won't play this weekend, and he is giving BellyCheat a taste of his own "questionable" medicine.

I never called him a bust, just not a wise pick taking any RB then. I've been fearing up until 3 weeks ago that he would also be a bust, but I'm happy that appears not to be the case.

T. Jackson hasn't even dressed yet which tells you how far along he is.

I think it is a very tall order indeed to beat the Pats Sunday given Spiller and FredEx both will either be out, or not anywhere near 100%. But not impossible. To me it comes down to one thing. The ability of our D line to quickly get to Marcia without any blitzing. If they can get pressure on every play with just the down 4 the Bills have a chance. If Marcia can setup comfortably or get off the quick 3 step passes without someone in the passing lane the Bills lose.

Choice and White both (particularly Choice) know the playbook and have worked with the offense. And Choice in particular is a very capable backup RB in my opinion. Bringing in someone cold for 1 or 2 games seems a very bad move to me.

I'd bet that he would not. Not because he is a "nice guy", because he clearly is not. But because as I stated before, it slams the door on the opponent and ends the game with the certain W. And he is more than smart enough to realize that, as is Gailey. But then again, you could say taking the knee IS going for the jugular. It takes all hope from the opponent.

I don't know about that. But I do know they would be trying like hell to strip the ball when Spiller was carrying it in his left hand. If the shoulder is painful and weak it's the perfect time for a strip. I'd rather see him sit than play with a weakened shoulder, fumble, and potentially injure the shoulder worse. I'd rather see Gailey man up in this case instead of Spiller.

That is it precisely. The browns could not stop the clock. If you score you give them the possibility to score/onside-kick quickly multiple times and win the game. Taking a knee ends the game for sure. He was not being a nice guy, he was being a smart coach. And before you say I'm being unrealistic, look at a couple of the wild finishes yesterday.

"Boomer" spends too much time at his other job sucking the asses of the Jets players and staff.
