Thanks for posting the video. That was a lot of fun to watch. For me, witnessing a Bills Super Bowl win would be tantamount to finding out I have a $150 million dollar winning lottery ticket, or the birth of a child. It'd be right up there.

Last year was the bottom of the barrel. It cannot get worse than that preseason from a year ago.

Prediction: The Bills 3-4 defense will be better than advertised, igniting a fire of hysteria in Washington.

I do not believe any preseason analysis of teams since 1999. Every preseason analysis had that as a season of doom for the downtrodden St. Louis Rams, even more so after Trent Green was lost for the season and the team had to rely on some dude named Kurt Warner, and some old, out of touch coach named Dick Vermeil. That's all you heard about. The press was just so completely absolutely wrong, not only on the Rams but other teams...that it was the point that I just stopped paying attention to them.

I bought in long ago. It was a shockingly practical move to hire Gailey after going through a decade of Williams, Mularkey and Jauron, and I think the Bills will be better for it. He's a proven winner, and experienced. Not sure what more fans could possibly ask for.

This team won six games despite Jauron and that grease fire we called a season last year. I think we'll go 9-7, with the last game of the season being the clincher, with the playoffs on the line.

Clapping? Why stop there? Nothing says good play in a 7/7 like tearing down the goal post.

How about a Ric Flair woo in lieu of a clap? Six shooters to cap it off?

I agree. Frankly, I think it's the Texans, Saints or retirement. Texans for proximity, Saints, best shot for a ring within relative proximity to Texas.

I agree. I wouldn't count on the Texans being the destination if AS is looking for a payday over $2 million. He'll have to give a *significant* hometown discount to play there based on what they are paying the other significant members of their starting defensive rotation. He might get some interest, but it'd be ironic if it was from teams even further away from Texas than Buffalo.

I love the meltdown some are having over Spiller not being signed.

Oohh, zing. ;-)

The product on the field notwithstanding, the Bills are a well run, stable franchise when you look at the books. Very profitable, with a ridiculously low amount of debt. Their business model works from a financial point of view.

I'm not panicking. If there is one thing the Bills do well, it's the business end of the operation.

I own three handguns, a rifle and a shotgun. Competitive shooting is a hobby I've participated in since my early teens.

Yeah, in a way. I love the underdog, and if T.O happens to help the Bengals take out the Patriots or Steelers in the playoffs, yeah I'll enjoy that immensely. For as much criticism as the man has gotten, he has never run afoul of the law. Ever. I respect that in light of fans hero worship of the likes of Ray Lewis, Ben Roethlisberger, etc. And, he was a good soldier in Buffalo last year despite everything that went wrong.

At this stage, I wouldn't be surprised to see him in a Colts uniform.

The league would make money hand over fist if every team had throwbacks only for an entire season. Each team picks one home throwback, and one away throwback and that's what you play in. Fans would vote on which ones, best ones win. Fans then proceed to spend ridiculous amounts of money buying jerseys, hats, etc. For the Bills, it'd be interesting to see which era of throwback would win, or it'd be a mix of the blue home jerseys and the nice white 80s/90s away jerseys.

Love the title of this thread.

I agree in part. However, the Titans nearly beat them despite Warner throwing for over 400 yards and two touchdowns. The Titans defense completely neutralized Faulk, which I believed that Buffalo defense could have done as well.

Indianapolis and Jacksonville were very beatable. I'd say we would have had a shot at St. Louis. For all the firepower that St. Louis had, the game was largely a defensive battle.

Exactly. I think that period of time, those 16 seconds, changed the franchise for the next decade. The fall of the empire began that day.

What ifs on coaches? I'll pass. The what if I'd want to see is "what if" nothing out of the ordinary happened during those 16 seconds on January 8, 2000.

Present: Snatching defeat Future: Jaws of victory Seriously, this is the most frustrating, stress filled team I've ever rooted for. I kinda like that though. The adrenaline was running in my veins in that Buffalo/NE game last year.
