I heard one time JP signed onto this message board and thought "Is this seriously a thread?" Or maybe that was me.

http://deadspin.com/5392067/excerpts-from-the-book-the-nba-doesnt-want-you-to-read All I'd say is... it's possible. And it's happened on this level of competition before.

You know, PTR probably came off a little strong in the original post, but even reading it today, I don't think he was wrong. Wrong for how he said it - maybe - but he's right. We were clearly much more talented and a better team before the injuries than anyone gave us credit for before the season. Hell - Vegas knew it before our local media knew it. That KC line moved 5.5 points in 36 hours. There were a few - Prisco, Peter King IIRC - who came to camp and said "Hey - you better watch out for these guys. There's something there." So maybe, it's not that jw, Tim Graham, Sully, etc are not doing anything all day - it's just that they're not football guys. Or at least on the same level as others. Now, I don't think saying "I told you so" now makes near as much sense in the moment as PTR's main point did... because - like it or not - we've got double digits on IR and we've played two playoff contenders within a TD the last two weeks. Has it been ugly? Sure. But I think we've exceeded expectations from before the season already. JW's in a tough spot because he IMO seems to be a pretty objective guy most of the time. So he gets stuck between the half-full guys like PTR and then when spirits get up, the half-empty guys like billsfreak probably don't agree with what he says. Who's right? Who knows. Probably some truth on both sides. I'm sure it's the same with PTR and JW.

Reminded me about David's fumble in OT @ Baltimore last year too. Either way, huge momentum swing.

Yep. He played that great.

Line is 8.5 right now... so... yeah. I think they cover the 8.5 personally.

I love it. Let's go bills! I have a feeling we play them tough as well. Just the way this league goes with the ups and downs. I'm thinking CJ will play a big role.

IMO, Fitzpatrick is at his worst, and least accurate, when he really puts a little oomph on the ball. Early this year, everything was timing patterns and he could throw at a reasonable "pace" for him. His completion percentage was fantastic, little to no INTs, etc. Without a deep threat, teams can jam the Bills receivers all they want, and since we're running with a really mediocre WR core, once they do get off the line there's very little separation, and Fitz has four DL in his face by that point, so he's got to "force" the ball, and that's when he has problems. If I was the front office, I'd get a couple burners who can keep the defense honest. Then I'd let the o-line get healthy. Fitz is fine when he can dictate his throws and timing on his own terms. Once you get a guy or two who can stretch the field - and get off the line - you can't cover all the underneath stuff all the time.

The guy is ridiculous, no doubt.

I hope Buddy smarts up and drafts a good, pass blocking QB in the draft next year.

Can't stop the run even though we know they're running on first and second every set of downs.

You know, there's been enough stoppages in play - injuries, challenges, etc - I think the D won't be as gassed as the probably should be with the T.O.P. difference.

DE-FEET THE JETS!!

Wore the Freddy jersey today. It's undefeated so far this year.

Tebow is a football player. Period.

I wore my Fitzpatrick jersey. It's cold this year. Stats for the year: Name G GS W L Fitz 4 4 1 2 Fred 3 2 3 0 With Fred's jersey coming in for the win in the Oakland game.

This. I like Rosen, I think he calls a pretty fair game with a decent tempo. Billick, I could do without.

buffalobills.com has a great message board. You should head over there.

Wore my Freddy Jackson throwback and drank leftover beer from last week's tailgate in Cincy.

We need to get one TD and eat some clock. Easy as that. Game over.

Actually we were at OAK, -3.5

This should be posted in the front of every stadium, track, and field in the country.

No, I think you can save spots within reason. There were just a lot of us coming solo last year so we all met up for convenience. And IIRC, the place didn't really start to fill up until after 9:30ish.

From another thread a guy said he got row 4 seats for $50 the day of. If you don't care where you sit, I'd probably hold off.

We went last year and met up with Kenny and caravaned over. It's a great time. I think we're planning on getting there around 8 am.
