^^^^this...especially if the Pats* are down by 6 with...say...1:03 to go. First and goal on the 1...game over.

There's a storm coming in--temps in 30s and rain and wind during the game. This raises questions: 1. Does this affect the Pats* dink and dunk game? Can we handle Blount? 2. Does Lewis just need to game manage or are we going to have to open up the O to beat these jerks? 3. Do conditions help or hinder Bills pass rush? 4. Are you as worried as I am about ball security? GO BILLS!!!! WOOOOOO!!!!

I like it, BUT...The 32 want LA, Toronto, and London because they see potential for more lucrative sponsorships and the ability to up the $$ for the TV deals by replacing weaker markets. Not sure how willing they'll be to cut in four more owners while keeping the lower-revenue teams. Still think your intraconference focus is spot on.

And what better way to thank Coach Bill for his magnanimous comments than to plant Brady on the turf a few times? GO BILLS!!!

Don't forget a couple BS PI calls, too. Can't have Nickell show up Marcia and 'Cheat.

Just like they did before Queen Brady. Lived in NH from 85 to 10. You could not find a Pats* fan prior to Brady's arrival. We used to get tickets at Sullivan on game day when the Bills played. The bandwagon fans will be GONE when their fortunes turn.

This is our Wild Card round, Divisional round, Conference Championship, and Super Bowl all rolled into three exciting hours. GO BILLS!!!!!

Nope--Broncos/Raiders simultaneous with Bills/Pats* I suppose that if the Pats* see that Oakland is ahead they may crank it up a bit, but I don't see anything but a Denver blowout of the Raiders.

The Broncos play the Raiders. Manning has all kinds of personal and team records on the line. I'm thinking that the Patriots are probably going into this knowing that they get NO help from the Raiders. My theory: The Patriots, who have already won the division and know they have playoffs ahead, take their foot off of the accelerator just a bit because they are looking ahead to a long playoff march and trying to save a little. Knocking heads with the Bills in a hard-fought battle will likely not get them #1. That doesn't mean that Brady isn't Brady and we're not at Gillette--but maybe, just maybe, there's enough of a let-up that it gives our opportunistic D (the Good D, not the one that showed up for a few of those stinkers) a chance to disrupt the Pats. That might enable us to win a close one. This is my Christmas wish. Now I am going to go put out cookies for Santa and reindeer food on the front lawn. ; )

You're right. You'd think that after 20 regular season starts he'd have a handle on this. Sheesh.

What if there's an issue with his mechanics when under center?

I look forward to this post every week. Thanks. And I'm with you on #14. Go Bills!

I'd be happy with a few sacks and NONE of those heart-breaking plays (rushing or passing) where we just get gashed. Oh, and about a 30 yard sideline completion from EJ to Goodwin, please.

I don't know. But I'll still get the WGR feed online and listen to the Bills while I watch another game. Stupid and pointless, but cannot help it.

Moderators: I did a search for this to see if it had been posted before. No results, but if it has been posted, my apologies and please redirect or remove it. Your choice. Language warning: ***F-bombs (but totally worth it)*** This piece of video brilliance was posted to Facebook by the Charlottesville Bills Backers. It depicts, accurately, what is probably going on in tens of thousands of Bills' fans living rooms every Sunday. If it has been posted before, or if you've seen it already, it seems that the current situation warrants a little levity. Enjoy!

Amen.

Stocks? Shareholders? Cute and so 20th century. One word: Crowdfunding. Capital: 50,000 people x $10,000 each. $500,000,000. Owner: $500,000,000 investment, 100-year commitment to NFL football in Buffalo. You: Financially back an owner with the responsibility to hire a GM, staff, and represent at the NFL meetings. Your investment is in for 20 years but it is transferable to heirs, purchasers, etc. A resident of Buffalo not necessary, but contractually you agree to invest in NFL football in Buffalo over a 100-year span. Owner makes same commitment. The investment group can be from all over the U.S. Revenue: Stadium naming rights (not necessarily a Buffalo-based company--think "e- and national brands), ticket revenue, suite revenue, merchandise sales, TV money, a cut of event revenues at other events, and...wait for it...a 65,000-seat, publicly-funded retractable domed destination stadium on the Buffalo waterfront. Think Patriots Place, only in Buffalo. City becomes relevant because now it can host big events, Super Bowls, political conventions. Local economy gets shot in arm. Benefits to you: Lifetime PSL (transferable) and a steady returns on your investment. Benefits to Buffalo: Tax revenue, hotels, restaurants, tourism.

It's been 48 years as a fan. I was in 2nd grade when Butch Byrd and Al Bemiller were special guests at McKinley Elementary's Father and Son Sports Night. So many aspects of the Bills, Buffalo, and my life are intertwined that it you take the Bills out of Buffalo, it's like taking a leg or an arm. They leave and I am done. No replacement franchise-EVER. On another note: The media loves to report on how many different NFL jerseys they can spot at Rogers. Get a clue, hacks, the people attending in different jerseys are there to watch an NFL game, not the Bills. It's a curiosity, like going to the circus. They don't travel to the Ralph, and this is as close as they'll get to real NFL football. Good luck building a fan base with that to work with, Jon Bon Jovi.

The game was right up there among the worst regular season losses that I can remember--and I'm going back to the late Sixties era. Truly sickening, and sad when you're hoping for your team to just hold on instead of winning the game. Still, there's a good core of players on this team. I've been on this roller coaster too long to get off now.

Where do we get a receiver like that? Any QB will look amazing with a guy like that.

Interesting that only two teams in the top 10 are sub-.500: Ravens at #4 and Bills at #8.
