You're probably right:

Univision has some nice ones as well. Very nice.

The pre Catwoman days, correct?

We'll see how this goes. I'm driving straight to the game, then driving to Erie afterward. Hopefully I'll make it there in one piece. Then, I'm driving home Sunday. I'll be making that short trip up for a UB game on October 11th for the Western Michigan game, then the following weekend for the Army game. Luckily, the Bills play San Diego the next day, so that last one won't be such a short trip.

Unfortunately, I won't know the ESPN Game Plan schedule 'til they email it to me some time tomorrow. That's when I'll know which games to tivo, since I'm heading up to Buffalo for the UB-Temple game on Saturday.

Like a bee?

The same Duff's I told you were were heading to @ noon that day? Yeah, I vaguely remember. We'll just have to hit up the CNJBBB again to make up for that.

Not in the least. We had breakfast w/ you and Christopher and I did a shot w/ you after the game. Somewhere in 'tween, I partook in some Memphis ribs and some jerk chicken.

He did have a really nice breakup late in the game, but there were too many instances when any of the LBs just couldn't diagnose and get to the play in time. Hopefully, it was a glitch. If not, teams will be throwing a lot of passes their way this season.

True, it did not happen very often (hence the term, "there were moments"). Still, we cannot afford to give up running plays up the gut as the linemen decide to just cut loose. That worked on a team w/ no viable running game....it will not work against a team like Jacksonville, who will attempt to run the ball 'tween the tackles often. I thought he was active enough, but in terms of coverage, he looked lost. I think the LBs as a group really need to work hard this week to get that straightened out.

Well, the fun's over, I'm back @ work, and Baltimore still sucks. The tailgate was a lot of fun as usual. Great food (I can't wait for some more stromboli!!!!) and great fun w/ good friends. Thanks to everyone who helped set it up. It was nice seeing all of my friends and it was nice meeting those of you who I haven't met before. As for the game.... 1. I was perhaps most impressed by the constant pressure from our interior D linemen. I can't recall a time where we saw that kind of heat from the inside guys before. It was wonderful to see. But... 2. There were moments when the middle was soft vs the run. No way Maurice Morris and/or Julius Jones should be ripping off big gains right up the gut. That is something that will need to be shored up quickly. 3. Trent looked awful @ times, especially early on. I saw a lot of off target throws, even the ones that were completions. I think he did settle down and find some sort of rhythm though. He made some excellent throws , like that bomb to Evans. I like how the game plan wasn't conservative, as if they were afraid to let the guy throw the ball down the field. 4. We need a LOT more out of the DEs and the LBs in terms of pass rush (DEs) and coverage (LBs). Seattle moved the ball a bit once they figured out our LBs had trouble covering the pass. Let's hope that gets worked on this week. 5. Special teams! Outstanding. Not only in the creativity (the fake FG), but also in their execution and toughness (nice hit by Ko that forced the fumble). Burleson did have some decent returns, but overall, this was an incredible job by the Bills best unit. What a way to start the season! It sure made my 6 plus hour drive home enjoyable. There's a lot to be optimistic 'bout w/ this team. Let's hope it only gets better from here.

T minus 2 days and counting!!!! We are on our way up to Buffalo! For the WNYTBDGPS crowd, see you @ Nick Tahou's 'round noon. For the rest of you, have fun 'til we return and GO BILLS!!!!!

T minus 3 days and counting!!!!

It's that time again. Psycho Ward 86 and I will be arriving in Rochester 'round noon tomorrow. Who's joining us?

I can feel the love here.

A grad ol' gal is she, eh?

Do I have to? Is he any different than any player on a team that is starved for a measure of success? Of course people put ridiculously (and, perhaps, unattainable) high standards on this team and its' players. I'm not saying it's right, just saying that it's bound to happen.

I gotta get that pesky little scratch fixed on my Bill from NYC vinyl. It keeps going back to "JP", "defensive backs", and "Jason Peters" over and over and over and over and over and over and over......

Maybe you should hang 'round here a bit more, Melissa. When we do hear from you, it's not always so cheery. Maybe a tailgate visit will help? I know what you're going through. Hang in there. It'll be alright. Rest in peace.

T minus 4 days and counting!!!!

I'm bringing lots of good beer, I mean, cheer.

My guess is it was more 'bout cleaning house than it was a reflection on Gill's abilities (Gill was one of the top recruiters in college football when he was coaching for the Huskers).

Friday I'll try.

No. You'll just have to wear your special championship belt yet again.
