The goalposts coming down in '88 against the Jets. You just knew it was the start of something special. Second favorite was the '02 Miami snow game. It was my wife's (gf at the time) first Bills game. She was a born and raised San Diegan and had never even spent time in the snow. It was the quintessential Buffalo Bills experience (tailgate, booze, snow, comeback against divisional rival, Kelly whooping it up on the sideline, etc.) and she absolutely loved it!

It's much more like the 1983 Bills. 1st year head coach (Stephenson) with an aging roster, veteran qb (Fergy) and dynamic rb (Cribs). Start 5-2, then blown out by divisional opponent. Next week they came home and beat the Saints to move to 6-3. Then went on to lose 5 of 7 and finish up at 8-8.

We have gone on two game winning streaks after each of our losses. Lets hope that trend continues.

I've been waiting for a post like OP's. He's clearly hot blooded and wants to know what the playoffs are, and wants the Bills to show him. In my opinion, fixing our oline and dline issues, is an urgent, urgent emergency.

1) Tackling 2) Turnovers (bad luck?) 3) Offensive line 4) Defensive line 5) Offensive playcalling We mostly just sucked all around yesterday. Pretty much a collective team loss. But the poor tackling and the offensive line getting absolutely mauled stood out. I don't think our defensive line would have looked quite as bad (statistically) if our linebackers and DBs had tackled like they had been up until last night.

I agree. JFC, what's with all these chicken littles? Can you imagine these folks in real life? Must be some real winners. Bills are still in good shape at 5-3, which is far better than I had them pegged before the season began. Looking forward to next Sunday to see what kind of backbone we have.

The tackling was probably half the problem tonight. It was just miserable. The Jets played with energy and we looked lethargic. Simple as that.

It's one game guys. I'll give them this mulligan. We've got Benjamin suiting up next week in front of the home crowd. Season is far from over.

Wow. That sucks for Watson and the Texans (and my fantasy team ).

I think we win the first three and lose the last two. We are better than the Jets. New Orleans doesn't typically play well outside of the dome. And the Chargers game will basically be a home crowd for the Bills. But it's next to impossible to beat the Chiefs in KC, and we know our history against Brady and the Pats.

Funchess struggled his first couple of years, but he took a big step forward this year, and yes, very similar to Benjamin. Benjamin can be a very good receiver if he's motivated. Not a burner but big and comes down with the contested ball. Sort of like Keyshawn Johnson.

Yep. I was there that day as a kid. Rich Stadium was electric!

Love the Benjamin move. Just brilliant imo. My only nitpick is that I wish we could have brought in another solid RB to spell McCoy.

An ice cold fridge stocked with Stone and Ballast Point.

BOOM!!!! I love this trade!!! He's exactly the type of playmaker we need on the outside. Beane is looking really good right about now.

Jets- W Saints- W Chargers - W Chiefs- L Pats- L Colts- W Dolphins- W Pats- L Dolphins- W

Jets smashed us and then guys started dropping left and right. Think FJax and Stevie were hurt during that Jets/Phins/Cowboys stretch where we were destroyed every game. Season just spiraled from there.

Histrionics on this board is hilarious.

Yeah, he's one of the three worst along with Polian and John Butler.

I can only assume that Dareus was a serious cancer in the locker room. You can't just suspend him, because then you lose all tradeable value, so dump him for anything you can get in return. If that's how it went down, then I have no problem with it. I'm not about to argue with 4-2 with this roster.

Trade him and a 7th for Pryor.

Exactly. If all he wanted to do was play football, he would have attempted to rejoin the Bills. Maybe he has and we told him to kick rocks? Who knows. If that's the case, then I don't have a problem with Boldin.

Taylor has his limitations, but as others have said, outside of Shady, he has next to nothing at the other skill positions (now that Clay is out). It's actually amazing to me that we are sitting at 4-2 when you look at our offensive roster (both sides really). Kudos to TT, McDermott, Rico and Frazier for the job they've done to this point. Also, for years we thought Sammy was the next GOAT WR if Tyrod could only get him the ball. Turns out he may just be a guy who was overrated and only destined to be a solid number two type.

Offense was good today outside of the late first half blunders. They carried the defense in the second half until the timely strip by White.

Actually, Bucs scored two straight touchdowns today. 20-13 to 20-20 - shady fumble - 20-27.
