Well this is my first game day thread so hopefully I start with a good record.
I'm hoping to see more of the same from our defense. I know they weren't the greatest but they held NE to 23 points which is pretty good in my book. I'm really expecting the offense to get some more deep balls with the weaker secondary that carolina has.
Keys to the game IMO is going to be how effective our offense/offensive line can handle their front 7, limit penalties and sustain drives.
Everyone going to the game, be safe and get the 12th man out on the Panthers.
And as always LET'S GO BUFFALO!

No it's not Leonard is slow and doesn't make a lot of plays. I'm guessing Byrd goes on IR soon and then leaves next year. What a waste of good talent.
Sarcasm, right?
But leads the team in tackles. He's not flashy, but he does his job. Byrd on the other hand is collecting a check waiting til he can fly the coop.

Bucky is obviously plagiarizing Jerry's works. EJ was feeding off the crowd and trying to get the team pump. To hell what he thinks about the Bills.... and the sabres for that matter. All of them thrive in their jobs by doing nothing but writing doom and gloom.
-
Wow, he really pulled that thing, didn't he?
Either that or all the kicking he's been taking has aggravated it worse.

Can't turn the corner in a round room.
GO BILLS!!!
Maybe we should start squaring the wagons instead of circling them.

and as soon as my fingers locked, she went to town.

Just saw this online. So are we the Mets of Football?
Kind of fitting actually. Always hyped but under perform and irrelevant.
-
We want to be the Patriots.
I know it's fun to make fun of "Tommy" etc but I've grown out of it. I don't like to see them get any edge when they already possess many, but they are just a well-run operation. We should be so lucky.
If you mean first in the AFC east and start a "dynasty", yes of course we do. If you mean pull an Eddie Guerrero philosophy and get rules made to favor us out of the blue, then no.
-
Hope your wrong too. Could be tough sledding this week for the offense and our def. secondary.
Their secondary is just as bad, if not worse. Their starting corner might be benched after last week. The front 7 is going to be tough to hold off though.

You'd think at this point the NFL would have an office that just monitors all their athletes to see if they have open cases. They have a public image problem and you'd think they would want to be proactive about it. If they had an office that knew about the athletes issues as they happened and then made sure that if the athlete didn't show for the court appearance at least they'd have an attorney there. How hard is it to remember you got a ticket and have an attorney go for you? I
Pretty sure the person that committed the crime needs to be present for the hearing.

It's the media now. Can you imagine Joe Namath playing today with Twitter and camera phones everywhere? The combine is shown live now. football coverage is insane.
Joe doesn't need it. He'll just show up on MNF and ask to kiss you.

I guess I'm naive. I was surprised that it is unusual for coaches and captains to discuss how things are going. Why wouldn't this be a common practice for every team?
Like I said, I don't know if this is normal for most teams and we are late to the game but giving the players a say is a change in the coaching scheme for us for sure.

Opening day was a sellout, but the reported attendance was only ~65K. Were there really ~7,000 no-shows?
They said somewhere it was a typo I guess. Was reported as 65,519 but was really 69,519 or something like that.
There is an easy way to get blacked out Bills games in real time if you have direct tv. I live in Rochester and get every blacked out Bills game. And I don't mean red zone, I mean the actual game.
Turn your dish 5.6 degrees?

Geno won the game for his team. He'll win.
Probably right. Watching the end of his clip just makes me like Manuel/hate Geno that much more. "I'm going to stand on the bench because I'm better than all of my teammates!"
Don't think we'll see EJ doing that.
-
Just got done reading the article and I don't know how often other teams might do this but I think this is something that is really going to help the players and coaches.
“That was the first thing he said,” Jackson said. “I want to have this meeting so you can tell me what’s going on in the locker room and what the fellas are feeling like and what they want to do. He’s made it very clear that it’s going to be a two-way street.
“I think the first thing he’s going to ask us in every meeting is what is on everybody’s mind and if there is something we need to do differently. He wants us to bring any issue that we have as players to him and that’s a good opportunity to get it out.”

Was listening to WGR this morning. Russ said Byrd/Parker have never mentioned a trade. Take it for what it's worth.
-
Love the breakdown of the plays. Most of us already figured it out early but that just points out how the playbook was limited for that game. I really hope they let EJ start using more of it because he can only get better.
-
One can only hope.
-
so, pretty much confirming that it will be in the 6-8 week recovery range, while about two weeks in...
So he will miss minimum 3 games/max... guess it depends on the healing/getting back into shape process.

Spiking the ball is not illegal.
I understand that. I just misread number E.

Section 7 Actions to Conserve Time
ILLEGAL ACTS
Article 1 A team is not permitted to conserve time inside of one minute of either half by committing any of the following acts:
(a) a foul by either team that prevents the snap (i.e., false start, encroachment, etc.)
(b) intentional grounding;
© an illegal forward pass thrown from beyond the line of scrimmage;
(d) throwing a backward pass out of bounds;
(e) spiking or throwing the ball in the field of play after a down has ended, except after a touchdown; or
(f) any other intentional foul that causes the clock to stop.
Penalty: For Illegally Conserving Time: Loss of five yards unless a larger distance penalty is applicable.
When actions referred to above are committed by the offensive team while time is in, officials will run 10 seconds off the game
clock before permitting the ball to be put in play on the ready-for-play signal. The game clock will start on the ready-forplay signal. If the offensive team has timeouts remaining, it will have the option of using a timeout in lieu of a 10-second
runoff, in which case the game clock will start on the snap after the timeout. The defense always has the option to decline
the 10-second run
So maybe I'm reading that wrong but isn't spiking the ball a penalty??? Therefore a 10 second runoff should occur when an offense does it? Because I'm pretty sure I've never seen them runoff time when the ball was spiked.

FO must be worried about not selling out the game if they are already whipping these out.

Honest question: do you think the offense would have converted additional 3rd downs by playing slow? Because I don't. The problem, to me, was just bad offense, not fast offense. I did vote for 3rd-down conversions up top, but in fairness, a lot of those were 3rd and long after 2 terrible plays. That's not so much "Inability to convert 3rd downs" as it is "Bad offense". Now, if slowing things down would have improved the offense, then I'm all for it, but I don't buy it at face value that huddling up will gain us extra yards.
No I don't think they would have gained more yards by huddling up. As I said before that comment, you give Brady the ball with a minute left and he will find a way to win if they are within a TD. I agree with you it was more bad offense than their 3rd down % and poorly timed penalties. Though I do believe there was a correlation with the the 3rd downs and penalties. I can think of 3 that stopped them from converting(not at the end, just throughout the game).

Score more points.... no one said it yet so I figured I'd be that guy.

Considering they scored 14 of those points off of turnovers and we held them to only field goals on all of their original possessions, yes, I think 23 is good.
