So this article was just posted on ESPN http://espn.go.com/b...rick-throw-deep Here is what I do not get. Johnson and Jones both often beat their man within the first 10 yards off the line (I looked for links to video of this but could not find them...sorry). So for now this is based on my observations from watching every snap of every game on a 60'' plasma. Why do we then wait to try to connect on a pass that has to travel 50 yards through the air, which we know Fitz cannot throw with any consistency (or at all). Why not design plays to hit our receivers 15 yards out with room to run instead of attempting to throw that deep. There is a much better chance to drop the ball over a WRs shoulder at 15 yards than there is at 50 yards. And yes, at that point they would still have to beat the safety, but it is better than our WRs stopping or having to come back to the ball because it didn't make it all the way to them. Actually, we don't even have to design these plays. We alreay have these plays. I see them often. Instead of the getting the ball out to them though Fitz waits for them to run another 35 yards then tries to hit the homerun. It just does not make sense to me. If our receivers beat their cover guy they have the speed and/or moves to then beat the safety. The yards are there to be had, we just need to take them.

I was actually hoping GB would give us a call about Freddie and the real Spiller era would begin with White as the change of pace and short yardage back. The guy runs so physical and hard. And, don't get me wrong about Freddie. I love the guy and have always been a huge fan, but as they say, it's a business. At the end of the day our best chance to win is Spiller touching the ball 20 to 25 times a game.

First of all, it blows my mind Chan makes the call to not kick a FG from 53 in OT. Second, why do we have a kick-off specialist that rarely kicks it out of the back of the end zone (like he was kept to do) and a FG kicker that we don't trust to kick from over 50? If a kicker can't consistently hit from 50+ there is should be no place for them in the NFL.

How bout that safety!?!

I agree. When Kelsay has his hand down on the line he can be very good.

The guy keeps his mouth shut and plays football. Actually, he plays football hard, and at times, at a very high level. In a sports world full of thugs and cry babies, I'll take this any day. Chris Kelsay is the definition of blue collar; an underdog that goes to work every day and puts in his time no matter what other people are saying and not concerned that he may not be quite as physically gifted as the next guy. You think being Buffalo fans and from the area more of you would appreciate that.

Good breakdown of the Denver game mentioned in the OP.

I know that Chris Kelsay is a favorite target for bashing on this site, but I'm excited to have him back on the field. Say what you will about his overall production (which I do not think is really that horrible) the guy has been a staple for this team season after season and gives his heart and soul to this team, and he does it for less money than many other lesser players would in Buffalo. Having him and his leadership back on the field will be huge. He also brings that passion that, from other posts, many of you say is missing from this team. He never quits on a play, and may have even more succes with Williams, Dareus, and Williams garnering much of the attention from opposing OLs. He really had some good games at the end of last year as a starter (7 Tackles and a sack against Miami, 10 tackles and 3 sacks against Denver) and I expect solid, with an occasional exceptional, performances from him for the remainder of this year as he is penciled in as the starter.

AZ has No offense and horrible OL (specifically OTs) is why we will win this game.

This was the second week in a row Kolb was sacked more than 8 times. The results were an effect of more than a good St. Louis defense. Phoenix is weak up front on O and have a QB that cannot make quick decisions. We can exploit this with our D plus put up 24+ points on offense and win.

St. Louis is beating the OTs and hitting Kolb literally almost every play. We will take advantage of the poor O-Line play of Phoenix and win that game. BTW St. Louis in not Blitzing either.

The high/low hit on Fitz was much worse! It got a replay, but the announcers did not even mention that it was an illegal hit. Ridiculous!

They do. I'm looking for the away, limited jersey though.

HaHa ... It also says Visa is the official card of the NEL. Not sure how a site can get away with using the NFL and Bills logos when they are not legit.

I'm looking for a white Stephon Gilmore jersey but am having trouble finding one. The only way to get it through nflshop.com is to customize a jersey, which costs more money. I stumbled upon www.xxxxxxxxxshop.com, but I'm not convinced the jerseys are real. Is anyone familiar with this site? If this site is selling fake jerseys, can anyone recommend a good site to get a real jersey? nflshop and espnshop just simply do not have a large selection. Thanks for the help!

...means that he'll decide not to grow the beard. He played so much better without it. The extra weight pulling down on the face must lead to inaccurate throws.

I was confused that while the official gave the wrong rules, the announcers did too. It's not technically sudden death anymore. I was under the impression that if the team that receives first in OT scores only a field goal, then the other team gets one chance with the ball to match that, or score a TD and win. If the second team also scores a FG then the game becomes sudden death, or if the second team fails to score at all, then the game is over. Is this correct? If so, I'm surprised that this was not mentioned at all.

Just finished watching the Broncos/Chargers OT. I really enjoy watching football with so little interruption from commercials. I think there may have only been one commercial break the entire time, and they played the entire 15:00 minutes. Even at the two-minute warning the telecast did not cut away to a commercial, the announcers simply made a reference to some of the networks' shows. Wish we could watch football like this all the time. It would also make for quicker games and more productive Sunday afternoons on my part. Damn corporate America!!

So, I currently live in Colorado and have turned my fiance into a legitimate Bills fan. After hearing some horrible play-by-play and color analysts, both on tv and the radio, I tried to explain my appreciation for Van Miller, as well as the play-by-play calls of John Murphy. I really enjoy(ed) both, and they definitely made local blackouts easier to stand when I could just turn on the radio and hear one of them, or both of them, call the game. My question is this. Does anyone have links to sound clips online? I really want to help her appreciate everything Bills! haha I searched online and on youtube but could not find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Wish I could still listen to these guys today instead of the horrible CBS and Fox announcers. Thanks in advance!

The host (cannot recall his name right now) actually picked us by 3. The "Predictor" actually gave us the one point edge. If you have not seen this yet, they use a computer program, select different variables, and the program spits out a prediction. He selected four variables for us, including turnovers, opp redzone percentage, yards per carry, and one other. It is also possible to change the importance of each variable. He set turnovers, and I believe yards per carry, as hi importance. So there you go. Based on that we are 1 point favorites.

Not giving up on this week, but week 3 will show us who we really are

0 sacks today...that's what really hurts

This is one of those games where the last to hold the ball wins...with 3:41 to go, I like our chances!

What the F!!!

Yes! Bills' lead plus fantasy points!
