If the RB took the snap and stood back there trying to make a pass, then I would assume he's afforded the same invisible shield as a QB. However, once he takes off running, which is what they did, then he's fair game to be tackled like any player. Now it would be interesting if he took off running and just before being tackled he took a slide. Technically, that's be a penalty if he got hit, right? But as for the QB out there, I'd say he's fair game. And I'd line some up against him and knock the ever lovin crap out of him. I heard one of the talking heads this weekend say they called that formation the "kill the QB" formation. Because if you ever saw it, you ran a LB over and took out the team's QB.

Hamdan Rocks!!

I thought the Raiders were the trap game? How many trap games can we have each week?

I beg to differ. In week 2, Seattle scored 30 points; yesterday they scored 37. Seems like a decent offense to me. All the Jags did was go into Indy's house, score 20 points, run for about 200 yards and beat the Colts. Seems like a decent effort to me.

Why you gotta be bringin Hamdan into this?

DOH. I sure did. I've avoided that thread because I wasn't in the mood to read anything negative immediately after the game. Then the Whitner bashing started, but that one's kinda funny in a twisted sort of way.

Apparently Whitner sucks. Trent is the man, although many un-named posters still pine away for JP to start. Peters blows. Kelsay rocks. Evans is below average. What else..... oh yeah, the refs hate us.

No way taunting gets called there. I'm surprised they called it even with Whitner's hit. Maybe the refs dislike the showboating as much as we do?

That, right there, is the question. Why they abandoned the defense that held Trent in check all day? And what can/will Buffalo do in the upcoming weeks when other teams copy what the Raiders did?

No problem. If you're like me, you're still experiencing mild shock from watching our team score 17 pts in the 4th quarter and somehow find a way to ein a game they looked like they were trying to lose. Wow. what a game!

My mistake. I just re-read the initial post. I misunderstood it. I retract my earlier comment.

Is Buffalo in the NFC now?

Looks like Denver is about to squeak out another one. Man, I'm starting to dislike that team.

Seriously... we go 3-0 for the first time in 16 years. We come from behind in the 4th quarter to do it. And you spend all afternoon ragging on Whitner because he missed one tackle? Please, just enjoy the win, enjoy being in first place in the division, and enjoy life a little. There'll still be plenty of time to find fault in the team later in the week and season.

After having the ball for something like 12 minutes in the 4th quarter. Unbelievable.

Does Denver have anyone that can play on defense? Another crazy game!

True. But a big part of why Edwards looked bad early on was due to the pressure and hits he was getting from his blindside. Let's not sugar coat it - Peters did not have a good game. He played well enough at times, surely. However, he was far from a probowl, top 5 OT. I'm sure he'll get back into his game soon enough, but for this one day, he looked bad.

3-0 looks darn good!

I must admit, it's looking more and more like that hold out is costing him pretty significant money. He's looked remarkably average in his first 2 games back. Not that he can't or won't' turn it back around; but as of now he's looking far from a top 5 OT. The good thing is we're still winning while he gets his feel back for the game.

I gotta admit... in year's past that would have been game over for the Bills, and I thought it was. It's soooooo nice to have this team prove me wrong. They have a ton of heart and it shows on the field.

Nonsense. It was noted just last week that most coaches would prefer to defer the opening kickoff, if they win the coin toss. They changed the rule this season (I was unaware it was a rule before that you couldn't), but the announcers said you'll seem most teams that win the toss will take the ball to start the 3rd quarter. So, can we please stop finding reasons to denigrate our head coach?

I was just about to post on that hit. I absolutely loved it!! Almost like he said.. oh no you don't just walk into my endzone - and put a helmet in his back.

Pretty damn impressive 4th quarter. In a game we should have lost, Trent and the Bills found a way to pull it together and get a win. Just incredible. I, literally, sat there watching for several minutes to make sure it really happened. I'm still not sure I just saw the Bills do that. Great job by Trent and the rest of the team.

I checked the 'Off the Wall' board just for the heck of it.... wish I hadn't now. Unbelievable that the question would even be thought, let alone asked.

No doubt. I'm worried until that final second ticks off - regardless of the score. The Bills are have invented some of the greatest ways to lose over the last few years that I've ever seen; no way I can sit easily until I see the final score is posted.
