I was going nuts on the pick 6 play! But that lasted about a minute, because I knew there was still 10 minutes in the game and Brady would certainly score again. Action Jackson's big catch and run was huge! Again nuts, crazy jumpin! But that lasted about a minute, maybe 2, because I knew there was still plenty of time for some heart wrenching way to screw up a sure thing. When that FG went through and I saw the game clock his 0. Well.... I'm still on a high! So, for me, seeing that kick go through with zero seconds left was just awesome.

What's the quote from that move Miracle... I'm not looking for the best players; I'm looking for the right players.

We definitely benefited from a few calls in the game. But, I can't call either of the calls on that drive "gifts". Both instances were clear penalties. The first was clearly a blow to Fitz's head. Was it a hard blow? No. But, the rules are quite clear - hit the QB's head and you get a flag. The fact that they called it on a Buffalo QB playing against NE* is a surprise, I agree. But, its the right call based on the current rules. (Of course, if you're name is Vick... screw you. ) The pass interference was also clear and blatant. Nelson stopped and tried to come back to the ball; the CB blatantly held him/ran into him and prevented him from doing so while in no way looking back at the ball. Again, clear cut pass interference. The reason the ball was 5 yds short of Nelson is because... he was held. I fail to see how that's any different than a ball 5 yds overthrown because the WR is held. I agree, Fitz was lucky there and Nelson made a great play to draw attention and get the flag. But, that doesn't change the fact that he was indeed held while the ball was in the air. I don't think the refs in any way bailed the Bills out there. They did their job. It's unbelievable; I'm not used to the refs calling penalties against the Pats*; but they did their job.

I agree. The Bills have a long way to go before they can mark anyone down as a win. I'll be watching this game to see how this team responds. It's not uncommon for a young team to come out flat after such a huge and emotional win as we just had. So far, they're all saying the right things. It'll be interesting to see if they come out and take care of business.

I loved that! Seriously, how often has anyone seen anything like that? It's amazing the feeling this team must have this week. I'm sure they do, but I really hope they realize that they're part of something so much bigger than themselves and their stat lines. I hope they can keep it rolling for another week. Go Bills!

Thanks! and welcome aboard!

I completely and totally agree. What I take exception to is the quote: "-Max: You're not set for life yet with three kids. You're trying to set yourself up for the future and your family." How is making a couple of million dollars a year for 3+ years not setting you up for life? Yes, he deserves a pay raise - a significant one. But, not because he's poor and struggling to take care of his family. That's all.

Ocho is taking alot of heat for dropping that pass. And, perhaps, rightfully so. But, the Pats* still scored on that drive. All his drop did was take more time off the clock. If he catches the ball and scores; in no way does it equate to a Pat* win. If anything, the way that game was going, it would have lead to a couple more scores by each team. So, no, I reject your notion that Ocho's dropped pass was what allowed us to win.

Look.. I'm on record as wanting Fred's contract redone as much as anyone. He's produced and shown that he more than deserves it. But, this idea that he has to take care of his family is absurd. He's set to make $1.75 million this year - alone. How many people in this country raise a family and make less than that in their lifetime! To think that he is somehow poor is an insult as best. To think that he needs a raise because him and his family are somehow struggling or won't have enough money to live off is just ludicrous. He's a starting NFL RB that has shown time and again that he deserves to be paid commensurate with his counterparts - the top RBs in the league. But, it has nothing to do with some notion that his family is struggling to get by.

I voted for the pick 6. It was critical timing and got us the lead! But, I do wanna give some props to Leodis. He's really gotten his fair share of criticism around here. But, his INT was beautifully played! That thing was all him. Here's to more.....

I think the day they cut Trent has gotta be right up there.

Undefeated Bills in first place! ...just feels good saying that Go Bills!!

If the league says anything... it'll be to issue a new rule. You can't take a knee and intentionally run the clock down if Brady is on the sideline.

Sorry... just wanted to say that out loud. It feels awesome!

No. You are only partially correct. Fitz may have thrown the game winner to Nelson, but it was my running around the house rubbing each one of my Bills logos on my Bills gear exactly 3 times while saying... let's go Buffalo that allowed him to make that throw. I'm certain without me doing that, there's no way WE win.

You, sir, win the avatar of the month award. I love it! ...and playoff dreams are definitely still alive! I had a dream last night that the Bills had just won the wildcard game against the chargers and were facing... the Pats* next week in the divisional round.

On my couch... and most certainly pacing throughout the house... in Greenville, MS.

One of my favorite movies! how can you not quote it?

Maybe hevwas cut.. just so Nix would sign him. ...and give Chan false information. sneaky fuggin Patriots*

I want a win Sunday. I'm tired of the moral victories - hanging with Dallas, just to lose on a damn 53yd FG; hanging with Piitsburg, just to drop the ball in OT; leading the Pats* the whole game, just to fumble the final kickoff return. I want a win. But, what I really hope to see is the Bills make a statement with this game. Make no mistake the country is watching. All the media attention, all the air time, all the hype; however, is largely because we're playing the Pats*. This is their division and it's been their division for a decade. And everyone knows it. What I want the Bills to do is come out with some intensity and fire. Tell the league once and for all... that the Pats* no longer hold claim to this division. I know there's a whole season left and plenty of games still to be played, but this is the Bills chance to make a statement and once and for all change their fortunes. In the past decade, they've had similar games. And in every instance (save the Dallas Monday night game), they've come out flat, slow and almost disinterested. The result.... the only statement made was thiat this was the same old Bils team - bad. If the guys want new contracts,if they want to be taken seriously, if they want to become a winning team; this is the game to do it. Play like your hair's on fire and let the chips fall where they may. I can live with that. Come out slow and flat... and they'll lose more than just the game IMO. They lose an opportunity to be great. Chan get the dudes fired up and come hot and mad, I mean plum mad dog mean! Show these Patsies that it's no longer their division to run through. The Bills are here and they're staying! Make a statement! Tell everyone...we're a team to be reckoned with.

I really dislike this mentality. We're all fans... right? Why can't we be excited about the way this team has started the season? No one is saying playoffs. We're just saying that they're doing better ..at. this point.. than most of us had thought. As I see it, sitting back and waiting for the Bills to have a winning record in November and on the verge of a playoff birth before you get your hopes up is pretty much the definition of being a band wagon fan. I'm not calling you or anyone that... I'm just suggesting that it's a bandwagon mentality to say...yeah they're good but let's wait and see how they finish. There's nothing wrong with admitting that after 2 weeks this team is doing better than you thought and being exciting about the rest of the season. Just as..if they crash and burn... there'll be nothing wrong with saying I was wrong after week 2. It's called being a fan.

I can't help but worry about it! And the play where Jackson almost got tackled by Seymore, but he ducked under him and then ran for 11 yards. Imagine if he gets tackled there or worse yet Seymore actually took his head off! And the QB sneak where Fitz dove into the pile and got closer to 4 yards instead of just the 1 yard he needed. What if he got hurt there? Or the time he was jumping up and celebrating. He could have pulled a hamstring kinda how Ferotte hit his head in the wall and was never the same! I can hardly sleep at night!!

I think that's an extremely valid comparison. Pennington had alot of short comings, but he was smart. And it took him and the teams he played on a long way. Now, I would say Fitz has a much better arm than Penny; but Fitz has accuracy issues. If he continues to work on that and becomes more accurate with the ball; the sky is the limit. I'm not a QB coach, so I don't know if its core body strength, poor body positioning, bad foot work, or what.. but whatever it is; that's his biggest weakness IMO.

I came into this season, for the first time ever, with a "don't know, don't know that I even care" opinion of the Bills. I guess the lack of an off season, coupled with an extremely busy work schedule, coupled with a decade of fail from this team just left me as disinterested as I've ever been in football. I will say this... I didn't think we'd be the worst team in the league, as many prognosticators had us. But, I hadn't thought enough about it to think we'd be good either. So, coming into the season opener, I watched just hoping to see a decent football team. I did! Going into the Raiders game, I watched with a little more optimism and hope. By half time, I reminded myself why I stopped really caring this summer. I even texted a good friend... same old Bills - who's in the draft. By the start of the 4th quarter, I was feeling like a Bills fan again. By the end of the game... I'm back! It's amazing but that one game has reminded me what being a football fan... and a Bills fan.. is all about. It was almost a microcosm of the last decade. Going into this week, I once again believe. I'm hoping. I'm watching. I sit here on Thursday thinking that Sunday just can't get here soon enough. Win or lose, there's one thing I'll say... they're a far better team than I or most people had given them credit for just 3 weeks ago. By every measure, they seem to be moving in the right direction. That doesn't mean they'll win every game or that they'll even make the playoffs this year; but if they play like they have the last 2 weeks... well, they really can beat any team on any given Sunday including the Pats*. And, after the last decade, I'll take that and be quite happy! Go Bills!

Just looked at the KC game (gotta love DVRs). It's tough to say exactly what happened (crappy angle and no replay), but it looks like he fell awkwardly with his shoulder/arm extended as several big men landed right on it. He clearly gets up quick and runs directly to the side line. Once there, he's moving his arm, bent at the elbow, up and down and seems to be indicating to the trainer that his arm was hyper-extended. So, maybe partial separation of the shoulder? That would be my best guess. Not sure how long something like that takes to heal; but in watching the Raiders replay, he does seem to be favoring his right arm ever so slightly.
