Good Lord, the Broncos are winning because of their defense and in spite of Tebow, not because of him. Not to mention the fact that they haven't exactly beaten great teams. If Miami doesn't botch that onside kick, Tebow might not have even played the next week he was so bad. San Diego is imploding, KC sucks, the Jets are mediocre and Oakland was going through a QB transition. The comparisons to Flutie are ridiculous. Flutie had talent and could pass the ball.

I think Johnny Gold has been drinking a bit too much Jose Cuervo Gold. "Great Day to be a Bills Fan." Are you crazy? The team just insured no playoffs for the 12th straight year. They let a crap QB drive about 80 yards for a winning TD. The Bills will likely end up with 2 more wins than last year. Very little progress and with the brain dead brain trust in the front office drafting a bunch of losers, you really think they will win the SB next year? You are on some very potent meds buddy.

The last two drafts have not yielded much talent. Dareus is a stud, but the 3rd pick would have been tough to mess up. Otherwise, Nix has not brought in much talent at all. Merriman was a terrible mistake. Smith was idiotic. He does get some props for Barnett, but otherwise the Bills are both thin and not terribly talented. There is a reason Nix didn't get a GM job until he hit 70. With the AFC being so mediocre this year the Bills would have had a shot if Nix had done a halfway decent job.

The Jets are going to suffocate Tebow. The Chiefs stink, as Buffalo showed, so completing two passes against the Jets ain't going to cut it. If Newton were as talentless as Tebow he never would have made it past opening day. Why does Tebow get cut so much slack?

You can't go back in time, but, taking Spiller last year looked goofy from the get go. Seeing how TE had been a need position forever, Gronk would have been a more logical pick. Or an OL. RB just wasn't a position of need.

So...you're saying CJ might well end up slashing the throat of his ex-wife?

Hey, that would be great. Thanks for the offer. Seriously though, there is never a guarantee for what the future may hold. Even if the Bills are on the "upswing" this year, there is no guarantee that next year will be better. The team put themselves in the playoff picture and to miss out, yet again, will be very disheartening, even if it looks like they may be getting better. You have to take advantage of any chance you get because you may not get that chance again. Anyone happy with 8-8 or even 9-7 this year, after the way things started, is easily satisfied.

Yep, no way this team makes the playoffs. Even 10-6 would be iffy, and you have two certain losses to the Jets and Pats away. That means you have to go 6-1 in the other games to be confident at all. That ain't happening. Today's game was a must.

You think that with the injuries to the receiving corp they'd find a way to get Chandler more involved, yet since game 1 Chandler's played an ever decreasing role in the passing game. Given his size he should be a good possession type receiver. Was he just a flash in the plan? Are we seeing why he didn't really stick with any other club previously?

Bills have given away both losses. Would have been nice to have both in the bank for the stretch run

Terrible underthrow from Fitz.

Dareus needs to step up

got a score here, don't let the game get beyond a one score game

Chandler seems to be less and less involved every week. I guess it's a function of the schemes they are running, but I'd like to get him more involved.

Florence just seems lost out there

It's obvious. Ralph is divorcing Mary and marrying Jim, which is now legal in NY. That way Jim gets the team tax free.

Perhaps I misunderstood your question. I knew the Chicks were in England at the time they made their statement. I just don't understand the relevance. I also realize the Chicks had both their detractors and supporters at the time. My point is that right wingers back then denounced the Chicks for saying terrible things about the President, urged boycotts, etc., but today have their panties in a bunch about everyone being so PC about Junior's statements. They're hypocrites.

Good point, other than the fact that it's dead wrong: "Williams, whose song "All My Rowdy Friends" has been the Monday Night Football theme on both ABC and ESPN since 1991, told "Fox and Friends" that he thought Speaker of the House John Boehner playing golf with President Obama "would be like Hitler playing golf with (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu ... In the shape this country is in?" Told by anchor Brian Kilmeade that he didn't understand the analogy, Williams said: "I'm glad you don't, brother, because a lot of people do. They're the enemy." Asked who, Williams said: "Obama. And Biden. Are you kidding? The Three Stooges." "Later in the Fox interview with Williams, anchor Gretchen Carlson told Williams he used the name of one of history's most hated men to describe the President. "Well that's true. But I'm telling you like it is," Williams said." Seems to me he was trying to compare Obama to Hitler.

What effin difference does it make. It's ok to say bad things about the President here in the US, but not ok to say bad things about the President in England?

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding...we have a winner! Just ignore the celebrities, at least until they can prove they can find their rear ends with two hands and a flashlight.

Everyone whining about MNF pulling Hank Williams, Jr. is a hypocrite. Remember the outrage from the right about the Dixie Chicks saying they were ashamed to have Bush as President? All the calls for boycotts, the hatred and the death threats. I don't recall a lot of right-wingers standing up for the Dixie Chicks' right to speak their minds then. No whining about a PC nation at that moment.

I mean at what point are people going to hold them responsible for what's on the field? I see lots of mention how Jauron and Levy really screwed the pooch (and believe me, I thought Jauron was a terrible pick for a coach from day one), but you can't use the rebuilding excuse forever. The offensive line is utterly terrible, and yet nothing was done in this offseason to improve it. I recognize the focus on the defense, but the OL is the single most important building block in football. To ignore the need for improvement there is unconscionable. Dareus clearly has the potential to be a monster, but it is hard to cite any other quality draft pick from Nix in two years. Spiller was unneeded and may well be a bust to boot. Last year's team was worse than the year before, and this year's team is likely worse than last year's. Hard to argue the team is headed in the right direction.

It isn't enough that the Bills are considerably under the salary cap, Zombie Ralph has to save even more money by dumping Evans for a 4th round pick (in other words, garbage). Yet another big ol' "FU Suckers" to Bills' fans. Evans isn't great, but the team is clearly not better with him gone, and they could have gotten the same deal at the end of the year. Just plain stupid and miserly.

I do know one thing. The Bills would not have any fewer wins with Fewell as its head coach this year, and I have to believe the defense wouldn't be atrocious as it is now.

Times have indeed changed. When Daryl Lamonica came to Buffalo (albeit as a 24th round pick)out of Notre Dame he lived in a small apartment above a friend's garage. As for Sestak and Maguires, it had great pizza!
