I'll tell you what, the OP's theory isn't too far off from the probable truth. Marrone likely took a page out of Marv's playbook, realizing that nothing that happened in the preseason meant anything, other than making sure your good players stay healthy and the season ticket holders get their invoice. Not complainin', just observin".

Don't know if it's been said yet, but I would bet my life that EJ voted for Fred as offensive captain. The idea that anyone would think his teammates would make a guy with less than 2/3's of a season's experience under his belt a team captain is absurd. Find something fresh wrong with him, will ya?

Don't know if this was pointed out, but EJ did heal quickly after his earlier knee tweak. It says something about his eagerness to play, i think. Heck, if this was baseball and he was Carlos Beltran, he would have been out for the season.

Our nemesis....third and long.

Oh man how good is this guy?

Nice second effort by TJ

Wait....are things going the Bills' way?

D looks awesome. We need a nice 12 play scoring drive. Or a 2 play scoring drive. Either one would work for me.

I couldn't agree more Choice in that Fitz just needs to manage this team, not necessarily be the star of it. Cut out the ridiculous mistakes he sometimes inexplicably makes, ala the season opener, and save the heroics for when we need them, like he did a few times in the first third of the season last year and this team (key word) could easily be playing football into January for the first time in a long time.

Anyone else notice that the picture of Mario Williams in the Bills' uniform (obviously photoshopped) on the Bills, website has the shadow of our 16th president being cast onto his right shoulder pad? What's up with that?

I have to agree 100% with the OP. I have been to at least a dozen Jets Bills games over the last 30 years and this was my third Giants Bills game. I have never had a "good" experience there and this was no exception. Sat in section 312, row 22, about 10 rows from the top wearing Bills t shirt and cap. Complete and utter classless baboon Giant fans everywhere around me. Some poor sap about 10 rows in front of me had a Flutie jersey and was with his girlfriend. Big mistake. What started as a "Flu-tie" chant when they were only half soused in the first quarter became vile, threatening, insulting gibberish after half time when they were completely trashed. So help me, they were so busy abusing these two and a couple others they had no idea what was going on in the game. For the record, I am 6-2 and 300 lbs, so nobody f'ed with me directly until about two minutes into the 4th quarter, when a 70 year old Giant fan stood up and basically told these clowns that he had never seen such BS in 45 years of going to Giant games. I thought they were gonna kill him and had no choice but to stick up for the guy and became the focus of their ire for a while. Every time I go I swear I will never do it again. For the record, the greatest display of drunken butt hole NY fans at a football game EVER had to be the Bills at Jets Monday night game back in the early nineties, definitely during one of the SB seasons but I can't remember which. Jets gave out paper painters hats with jet green and white design. Fans are piss drunk before the game even starts, and its a laugher. I think we were ahead 24-3 at the half. After halftime, all hell breaks loose. Bills score again and it becomes evident that fans throughut the Meadowlands are piling their paper hats in the aisles and starting them on fire. I swear, it reminded me of dozens of camp fires all throughout the stadium. Then there is a comotion in the upper deck of the endzone to my left. By the way, that d bag Fireman Ed of the J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS cheer is sitting at field side about 30 rows in front of me. Anyway, upon scrutinizing the hubbub in the endzone, expecting to see ANOTHER fight, we see some drunk skank showing her boobs to the whole endzone. The stadium almost spontaneously erupts into the chant T-I-T-S breasts breasts breasts! for the next two minutes! Then as the yellow security jackets converge of her, the boos start, only to be followed by a chant by every one of the 30,000 drunks still there of BRING THE PIG HERE! You can't make this stuff up.

... Not trying to sound like a jerk, but I just received (after week 5?!) my "2011 Season Ticket Benefits" package from the Bills. It contains the usual fridge magnet, window sticker, lapel pins, and media guide on CD. There was one item that I had never seen in this package before, and that was a little 16" x 32" rally flag". Great idea, I thought, and was even more jazzed when the lit contained in the kit suggested taking photos of this flag at historic or famous places throughout the world and then posting them on the Bills Facebook page. Hell, I got a meeting across the street from the Freedom Tower and WTC Memorial next week. Perfect, right? Imagine my horror when I took the rally flag out of it's wrapper and immediately see the giant "Wincraft Sports - Made in China - 100% Polyester" tag. I mean, honestly, polyester? What is this world coming to? Seriously, shame on the Bills and whoever makes these decisions for the team. They have my permission to charge me an extra dollar for my ticket package next year as long as they buy my rally flag from a company in or near Buffalo.

Heading over there too, even though I have sworn to never attend another contest in NJ after going to about a dozen Jets Bills games in the old stadium over the last 25 years or so. Jet fan behavior is easily the worst in the NFL when it comes to how they treat opposing fans, but that's another post and the Giant fans are a bit better behaved. Would love to see some friendly tailgaters.

What a shock! He "discovered" football in 1989, the first year of a never before and never since matched dynasty. Too many fair weather suckers became Bills' fans during that period to count. Let this one whimper and whine his way out the door. Good riddance.

I am not anti-Fitz or even anti-Brohm, but this is the kind of thinking that has saddled us with sub-par QB's since Kelly retired.
