I see 24-19 Cincinnati. But if we lose, it is no reason to push the panic button.
I think it is. This is a new team with a new mentality. Along with that mentality is the ability to pull out games that they SHOULD win.

Awesome awesome article.

Flutie had a pretty good one a few years back, didn't he?

I really like the comment page.

The Bills can't even win legally. They have to steal from the Patriots playbook. I guess that will happen when you don't have competent enough coaches to come up with your own gameplan. You have to steal someone else's.
I'm kinda tempted to sign up on that website just to point out spygate to him.
It continues to baffle me that fans are entirely unaware of the respect that Gailey commands around the league as an offensive genius. It's been mentioned time and time again by many professionals. He is more than competent on that side of the ball.

Anybody know of any places to get Women's Jerseys?

To be fair, our defense has looked pretty weak so far, other than the Chiefs game... I hope we hold them to a low scoring total, but I'm also not going to make any guarantees, heh. We need to make more stops. We need to not be behind by 18+ points.
Our defensive line has been eating up blockers all season. Now that we're playing Andy Dalton, we can afford to bring some LBs through those gaps.

IMO, it was no accident that so many passes were getting batted around as the game wore on. It was a great technique and great play by Dareus. It's also no accident that nobody's run on us so far this year. Anyone see McFadden rip the Jets D yesterday? Marcell has made a huge impact on this team. Can't say enough good things about that pick.
Cue the Herm Edwards voice: You play to win the game! But if not for Stevie's drop we never get this guy.
It's vital for fans to recognize that we've played GOOD teams for the past 3 weeks. Even the Chiefs, with a bad record, had Jamaal Charles in week 1. We have been doing what most teams could only hope to do on defense, and our offense is out-scoring teams that, no matter how you play defense, are going to score a lot of points. Sure the pass rush seems like a concern, but remember that it was the defensive line that was actually giving Brady fits. He got the ball out quick every play, but he did it for a reason, and the quicker you're forced to release the ball (especially when you're Tom "I could order a pizza and have it delivered while I stand flat-footed in the pocket" Brady) mistakes can happen against 7 in coverage.
Things on defense will continue to tighten up regardless (and our secondary is injury depleted already), but make no mistake that this team overall is playing extremely well, and executing their game plan.

Been called the Buffalo Bounce since Flutie started doing it in '98.
-
...Because people all over the different BB message boards were talking about tearing down the goalposts.
-
But during the SNF pregame he was talking about his biggest surprise being the Bills who beat his Patriots and are sitting atop the AFCE...
-
Ah that's BS. I wonder if fans will ever storm the field again...
-
I think the pass rush will open up more...we just came off of a rare run of playing three teams who had offenses that don't allow to take anyone out of position for a blitz.

Video? Something?

I think they win if they hit that big strike. Would have felt like a huge dagger. Not saying welkers dink and dunks don't hurt but they lack the sting.
...Didn't they score on that drive anyway? They were in our territory on that and unless that was the fieldgoal drive I'm pretty sure we didn't stop them once they were in our territory...
-
I think that winning AND stopping the run and having a sound defensive performance is absolutely key and here's why: we can sit back and realize that maybe our team is actually good by improving things like our run defense. It means that after that game we can have confidence in our abilities to beat any team because we can stand up and take away their strengths. Granted, on the field, in the heads of the players, football is a different game. Just winning is enough to boost the players' confidence, no matter how it happens.

I LOVE what he says about Buddy Nix and how he trusts him. I like that he said "After all these years I found out that you really need a scout...a football guy to be GM." Took him 52 years, but better late than never! I get good vibes from our latest team. Not the good vibes like we got all decade when the FO told us "Don't worry, we're young and SMARTER than everybody! Have faith in our reach draft picks because we knew more than the rest of the league, blahblahblah." This team is young, nasty, hard-working, and everyone has a chip on their shoulder. There's something better in the air at OBD.

I'm sorry, but there is just no way. I am a huge Bills fan and am really impressed with Freddie after last week, but in no way is he Davis. Had Davis not gotten injured like he had, we'd be talking about him as one of the greatest ever. Even with his short career, people still make the argument.
Yes, Freddie is tough, but Davis was on a whole other level. He was a one man wrecking ball who didn't just break arm tackles, he broke arms. The guy was a beast and the main reason Elway got his first Superbowl Ring.
I still make that argument.

Bledsoe was my favorite QB when he played for the Pats and I was ecstatic to have him play here. Even after he left I felt bad for him and his steep decline. Now I will no longer respect him.

Matt Cassel says hello.

Like or Not we have to lock up Fitzbeardy, The Amish Rifle, Or Fitzmagic sooner rather than later.
3-5 Million is underpaying IMO. You have to go 6 or 7 at least but 9-10 is definitly not out of the question. Manning is getting paid 25 Million to watch from the sidelines and Carson Palmer has 12 million sitting on the table. Is Fitzbeardy any worse than Palmer? Eli manning?
Dude has 27 TDs in his last 14 starts under Gailey. Thats almost 2Tds a game. Pay the man
Am I missing something here? Why do so many people say that it has to happen now? Can't we wait until right before he becomes a free agent? Or at least midway through the year? I don't want Dick and Trent 2.0 happening. That being said, if the guy gets an extension and DOESN'T play his heart out I guess it wasn't worth extending him at any point and we'd know that sooner than later...

Uniforms were changed the year before, when Bledsoe showed up. The team didn't go 8-8 in '03, they went 6-10.
Those things aside, this Bills team is growing, and showed flashes of how talented they are/will be. That Bills team was just riding old talent and trying to sustain a lost legacy. If anything, the only similarity is that we thought we had offense set in '02 and only needed a defense, so coming into '03 after upgrading the defense seemed like we were going to be competitive. We had a competent offense last year and took care of the defense in the off-season, but I don't think any part of the team is declining like the offense did in '03.

fox sports were 22 and chiefs are 32
...and the Bengals at 21...

Fitz's arm strength I know isn't stellar (has arc and takes big wind-ups)- though I have trouble placing it in any categories of arm strength because he still manages all of the throws. Edwards actually had a pretty strong arm but refused to throw down field. Flutie easily had the weakest arm.

Very nice post..
Think we have a positive home pregnacy test..lets hope it was not a false positive.
31-0 keeps coming back to me..I know negative Nancy...
I'm equally haunted by that game. But don't forget that was an aging Bledsoe that needed all the time he could get in the pocket. And that offense really only had Moulds as a weapon. Additionally, this is a fiery new breed of young players mixed with old vets who know how to win. The chemistry and attitude of a team goes a long way.
Fitz is Future!

If you add up all of Fitz' games played, I think this is like his 4th year as a starter (it's usually year 3-4 of straight starts that a rookie's light comes on). I think the best is still yet to come with him, and I feel we've got a good 7-10 years left with him. However, after a great team has been built around him, in about 5 years it will be time to draft a QB and groom him, to keep the continuity going.
