  1. Wow looks like The Bills are on again in San Diego!

    This will be the third time in six weeks I dont have to go to PB Ale House to watch.

    I miss PB Ale House!

     

    Sweet! Best season I can remember coverage-wise since I moved to California. Now I don't have to drag my two year old to the La Jolla Brew House.

  2. Anyone who is expecting 11 wins or better is setting themselves up for disappointment. This team still has glaring weaknesses which will be exploited as we get deeper into the season. On a neutral field i'd take the following afc teams ahead of us: ne, pitt, balt, texans, jets, raiders, chargers.

  3. NY Giants L (tough road game)

    Sun. Oct. 23 BYE

    WASHINGTON* L (Toronto curse)

    NY JETS L (Jets pwned us supremely last year)

    at Dallas L (tough road game)

    at Miami W (Fish suck at home)

    at NY Jets L (another tough roadie)

    TENNESSEE W (this one's really a toss-up but we should take it at home)

    at San Diego L (another toss-up (SD is way overrated) but SD gets the edge as the home team)

    MIAMI W

    DENVER W

    at New England L (this could be a massacre if NE has anything to play for)

     

    That gives us an 8-8 record and serves as a solid step forward coming off of last year's 4-12 campaign. Shore up the defense in the offseason and add a legitimate WR complement to Stevie and I think we take that next step and become a playoff team in 2012.

  4. Lol. It's been three games people. Fitz has been pretty good the first three weeks, I'll give him that. But lets not forget he's still made some bonehead throws that easily could have left us sitting at 1-2 right now if not for luck (Chandler td against Raiders and the pass interference on the interception in the endzone against the Pats) or a good breakup by our WR (Jones against Raiders). If he keeps up this level of play through week 10 or 11 and we are legitimate playoff contenders then it might be time to start thinking about this guy as the longer term answer at QB.

     

    For those who want to annoint the guy after three games, I've got two words for you: Derek Anderson.

  5. Fitzy is 6-9 as a starter since 2010, turns 29 in two months, and is a sub-60% career passer.

     

    Fred Jackson is a 30 year old running back. And he's not a guy that shies away from contact. He's got maybe one good season left if we're lucky.

     

    Sorry, but you do not break the bank for these guys.

     

    Johnson, however, is young and is getting better and better. We should pay this guy what he's worth and make sure he's a Bill through his 30th birthday.

  6. The most apt comparison is Jake Delhomme in his prime. Both guys were sort of rotting on the sidelines until their late 20's. Both are fairly mobile gunslingers/risktakers with lower-than-average completion percentages. Check out Delhomme's stats from 2003-2005 when he was 28-30 years old. Those numbers are eerily similar to Fitz's stats as quarterback for the Bills.

    This is not meant to be a knock on Fitz. Delhomme was considered a top-10 quarterback at that time and he proved to be good enough in his one Super Bowl appearance to have won that game for the Panthers. Injuries ended up taking a toll on him and then his skills just fell off a cliff.

  7. I agree with the OP completely. This team has done nothing other than beat two teams it should have. If and when we beat one of Pats/Eagles/Jets then we might finally be on to something. Until then, color me cynical. History tells me that we're in for a whipping this weekend.

     

    My negativity doesn't mean that I haven't enjoyed our 2-0 start or didn't have a blast watching yesterday's game. I'm just realistic about our talent level and I'm not ready to go all in yet until this team gives me reason to believe we have the pieces to compete for a playoff spot.
