Just in Atlanta

The Bills only pick receivers in the 7th or on waivers. That's our new MO. And I like it.

Chan likes RANCH on his wings. Nuff said.

Thanks, never have been called a 2wat before. ...And No. 17: We don't have a HC who dresses the part. To be successful in the NFL, you clearly have to look homeless on the sidelines.

At first, all the never-ending naysaying was nerve-wracking. But now I realize I just wasn't being analytical enough in my fandom. So...the top 10 reasons why the Bills are doomed for another season of sorrow: We can't win every game. 4-1? I hate to sound negative, and I know I'm going to catch flak for this, but that's only three losses from .500. Think about it. We don't have any consistency on offense. Pass crazy one game. 100-yards-plus running another. We simply have no identity. We can't win without raising blood pressure. The only team to register wins in back-to-back 20-plus-point-deficit games? We should have blown the Pats and Raiders out in the first quarter. We have no consistency in the way we win. Blow out one game. Big come from behinds in two others. And a close game in which the opponent was never ahead of us. Hate to sound picky and all, but true winners win in a consistent fashion. We don't know how to capitalize on interceptions. Eight turnovers against NE and Phili and we only win by a combined 10 points?!? We should have won by at least 16. We have a mediocre QB. A 10-4 TD-INT ratio? Fitz couldn't even do better than Matt Stafford at 11-3? We have a mediocre RB. Freddie Jackson, who is heralded as our supposed No. 1 player on offense (please), has only broken one play--one!--over 40 yards and only has 96 yards on average per game. He couldn't get 100 or more like McFadden or AP? We can't stop the run. We have clearly forgotten about the run (bottom middle tier) and only care about intercepting more balls than anyone else. That's a mark of a truly weak defensive team. We can't tackle. Our top tackler is a...safety? Yet another mark of a truly bad defensive team. Wilson barely has more tackles than the geriatric Troy Polamalu for Christ's sake. We can't overcome bad officiating. The one team we were supposed to beat easily, and we can't find a way to overcome a last minute blown call by the ref? The Pats would have found a way to win, even with their bad D. We don't kick enough field goals. Only nine attempts? That's near the bottom of the league. We don't have a QB who can grow a decent beard. He still looks like he should be pitchforking hay in Pennsylvania, not marshaling a 4-1 NFL team that's No. 1 in the AFC East. Feel free to add on to the negativity here. I've barely scratched the surface of why this pretender-who-thinks-they're-a-contender team will flame out this year. And No. 13. Bills fans are so stupid they can't even count.

You are a fine editor.

Good teams win games in which they didn't play well. We are a good team. We won. We are good enough to make offensive changes to accommodate defenses and injuries at WR and Oline. Our D, which has issues, makes up for it with aggressive play. Analysis on what can be improved is one thing. This is pure negativity. It simply boggles my mind. And it's completely irrational. Enjoy it already.

You're right. With four take-aways, they should have scored 14 more points against the Pats, the second best team in the league, and the Eagles, a Superbowl favorite. The Bills suck.

What PTR, and Al, said.

Crazy pills rampant at TBD. We have more INTs than anyone. Yeah, let's demote him.

Robots. Guitars. What's not to like about that?

There's something seriously wrong with you people bitching and whining about this. Get help, seriously. I'm no homer. But I haven't seen a Bills team this good in years. Don't you guys see it? This team is 4-1, and just beat a team few people were saying we could beat. We're not perfect. Yeah, we have some issues on D. No one is perfect. Enjoy the fu#!$ing win. Jesus H. Christ, people.

Media love gone. No more NFL darlings. We love underdogs.

Let's split the difference and say it's a one-1/2 punch. Go Bills.

Spiller's yards per touch, I think, are higher than Fred's. Plus Spiller is getting passes. Spiller will likely see a decent amount of touches Sunday. So, yep, it is/will be a solid one-two punch. As Chan said, there's only one ball and Fred has been playing so well, and there just hasn't been a lot of circumstances to give Spiller a lot of playing time. I expect more time coming his way this Sunday against a week run D.

Offensively, we're about even, even with Vick. We have a great one-two with Spiller and Jackson, and a good WR scheme for their D. Defensively, we have a slightly better run D, which isn't saying much, and they have a better pass rush, which given past games we should hold up to. Secondary seems pretty even. Given Dalton's success running around, I gotta think Ron Mexico runs wild on us. Questions to be answered on Sunday: Will Merriman finally show up? Will the talented Dream Team individuals play as a team? Overall two equal teams, even though we're 3-1 and they're 1-3. Home crowd is the only thing that gives us an edge, based on past games. 33-30 Bills in OT.

One dimensional? We have like the 4th leading rusher in the league. He'd be 1st or 2nd if we haven't had to come from behind twice. Our offense is plenty balanced. This offense will be able to adjust to whatever circumstances throw us. Just look at what we're doing with our much-maligned line. On D, on the other hand, even our much-maligned secondary is tied for 1st in takeaways. And our run D, while statically toward the bottom-middle, is still hovering stat-wise around two Ds with historical run-stopping prowess: Jets and Steelers. We only have two serious issues right now: McKelvin's inability to make big plays and our surprising inability to pressure QBs. We get those right, we'll be in the fifth dimension.

Excellent point. That would be a cool sight.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ4T9CQA0UM Don't know if this has anything to do with the Bills, other than there's a buffalo in it. But it made me laugh. Enjoy.

I just paid $35 for an "authentic" NFL T-shirt online. Made in Mexico. Probably will only last two seasons. Wal-mart has better made shirts, from China. The licensed replica jersies are way overpriced. Authentics are crazy. I have no problem buying from China. The middleman, who is in the US, still makes most of the money. And I don't have to spend an arm and a leg.

I am bookmarking this comment and expect a full mea culpa when the team is gunning for a playoff berth being second in the AFC East sitting at 10-6. This is an above average team that will have more ups than downs. Are you really saying it's unrealistic to think this team can't win three more games?

Having lived in midstate NY, northwestern NJ, and the South, I can say there are just as many rednecks up there as down here.

We're all friends here fellas. This is the one place I usually don't have to think about politics. BTW, if I were still in the military he would be my commander in chief. As a civilian, he is simply head of the Executive Branch of government. We need to stop calling him, or any president, our CINC. He does not command me, nor do I want him to. He works for us.

No one should compare a president, or a janitor, or a country singer, to Hitler. But nonetheless it happened all the time when Bush was president. No one got all excited about it back then--and it happened constantly. Just a little relevance. I agree, Metzelaars. He sounds like a redneck. He won't be back. No place for that nonsense in the NFL. I stand by the fact, though, that it was an analogy--a big, big difference between a comparison. It's a stupid analogy. But the moral outrage is overblown, especially when pop culture uses the Hitler moniker so casually.

No one should compare anyone to Hitler, right, left or whatever. Unless, of course, the person they are making the comparison of did, in fact, mastermind mass genocide. Having said that, Williams Jr. made no such comparison, really. He was making an analogy, albeit a stupid one. Way overblown. And good point, Kaz, about the Soup Nazi thing.
