Wow, another WNYer fixated on taxes -- imagine that.

Most of these - serious and funny - are great. Well done.

The truth is that Marrone just isn't a naturally likable guy. That's why many people want him gone despite the 9-7 record.

Not if we're lucky.

Very silly.

Is this a screenshot of the Patterson-Gimlin film?!

Hmmm. That letter looks suspicious to me. I'm calling bogus.

The OP's point is valid to me. I'd extend it beyond QB play to the entire team and season. Enough with the rollercoaster reactions after every win or loss. Doomed after a loss, playoff bound after a win. It's totally irrational and ridiculous. And tiresome. Related to that, shouldn't we keep our expectations for this team realistic? Did you really, honestly, truly think this team was ready for primetime? Beyond that one game, why would anyone who is thinking clearly go into this season expecting playoffs? The Bills have been a habitual 6-10 team. Until they show us otherwise, I assume they'll finish right around 6-10. And that's okay with me because, well, being a fan is supposed to be fun overall. Orton looks better than EJ - maybe that's good enough for a few more wins this season. Let's see where the team sits come late November before we **** our pants from either the joy or misery.

I'm 40 and remember those preseasons well. Your point is mine exactly. Fans freak out when teams suck in the preseason - it's normal. It's also normal to get over-excited after a 2-0 start. But lots of teams win their first 2 games and still miss the playoffs. The Bills have teased and broken our hearts before. They need to play more games before the team really shows what it is.

The Bills have sucked for 15 years and they looked like **** during preseason, that's why. It's really not hard to figure out. Every year most of the folks here make predictions that overstate the Bills talent and final record. We're all happy to see them 2-0 but let's revisit this post in a month and a half. At the midway point, we'll have a much better idea what this team is about. Fitz had the Bills team at 5-2 in 2010 and they finished 6-10. Save your erection for Week 17 and beyond. In the meantime, Go Bills!

I haven't heard a note of Von Jovi's music probably since the You Give Love A Bad Name era. But most posts here say his music sucks. By definition, most people have pretty bland taste in music. So his music must be downright awful. What exactly makes it even worse than the norm?

Don't perpetuate the myth. NYC is the economic engine of the state, and ends up outlaying more tax dollars than it receives. It's been studied and proven so. It's actually Upstate that mooches. There are other complaints to make about sharing a state with NYC (example: business and wall street's corrupting influence on state politics) but the tax cliche you're repeating is wrong.

This.

So you're saying you ARE a birther then? I kid, man. It's just this: Talk is cheap and Trump has shown time and again he's so full of **** that I have a hard time understanding how any Bills fan would feel good entrusting something like our team to him. Unless judgement is clouded by the visceral feelings that politics stir (especially these days). Or maybe it's just his glorious comb-over that exudes a certain trustworthiness. Paradoxical?

You must be a birther. Good luck with that.

I like this quote in the story: "Buffalo, dried up." True, Buffalo (and the rest of WNY for that matter) is indeed dried up and has been for a long, long time. Still, I'm not sure what that has to do with the Bills or Michael Vick.

Based on last night's performances, I agree on all points. But let's not get carried away after the first game of a long season. If we judge the team based on their most recent game, we'll all sound like we're writers for the Buffalo News. Let's just see where the team goes from here. That said, I'm cautiously optimistic.

On his sack, Maybin got lucky when BR stepped in his direction. Still, I think he showed good quickness and lateral movement on the play to react to the QB, get past the LT, and make the play. It's not much, but it's at least a start. And this team needs all the help it can get.
