I thought it should have been a fumble, didn't have control of the ball when it hit the pylon. Should have been a touchback, but we got lucky. Ref in studio Mike Carey questioned it as well, but didn't seem to want to criticize the on field officials.

have you ever flown from across country - it's about a 5 hour flight. Really not a big deal.

Cardinals backup QB hasn't played since 2010. And fans here complained about our backup QB situation.

and the fact that our team might be pretty good too. Makes for a fun Sunday.

I'm sorry, but this makes no sense. This is like the argument saying that if you take away the 80 yard TD run, our rushing game wasn't that great. You try to create turnovers because they do help you win. Yes, if you lose the turnover battle and yards become TD's you may lose. There are many factors that go into a victory, that's just one of them.The overall thought of not getting too caught up in the victory makes sense, but don't discount how they got the victory.

nope, we aren't playing the Bears again. Totally different situation.

Really going out on a limb there, eh?

They may subscribe to some sort of pay TV, but how many households buy the NFL Ticket - my point was , what if the only way you can watch any games in the future would be exclusively through NFL Ticket at $300 per year, or whatever they want to charge in the future. Not saying this will likely happen, but just wondering.

Just wondering, can the NFL make all it's games appear on Directv or cable , basically making all games pay per view. No incentive to have them on free TV now. They could probably make more of a fortune then they do now. Everyone that wants to watch a game can , but will have to pay each time.

Good post. I agree.

He made good blocks on Jacksons 2 OT runs, that's more production then we got from our left guard all last season.

they will still talk about how poorly the team looked in preseason, because obviously, that's how you judge a team.

most of those penalties were lousy calls. Great Win!!!!!!

ok, so a month and a half.

Panic or necessary move...., it makes no difference how you interpret it or why the situation came about. It was a move they needed to make and the team is better for it. So they were wrong about Lewis and Tuel, at least they were able to remedy that. Even the best teams make mistakes with personnel, it's how you react to it is what matters. This is possibly the best outcome we could have hoped for given the dearth of quality QB's available. And from what I've read, the Bills have been in touch with Orton for months, so hardly a panic move.

yeah, probably. Fun sports town that Buffalo.

I don't recall, but we've won most of the games. Miller always played well out here.

I look at more like, I'm the reason they won before 1999, not the reason they've lost since then. yep, I've gone to all the Bills games here since I moved. Sabres games too.

Moved to Phoenix in 1999, just in time to see the homerun throwback, Bills haven't sniffed the playoffs since I left. I was indifferent towards the cardinals early and wasn't sure how much I wanted them to win the Super Bowl against Pittsburgh. But now I like them more, maybe because the Bills have been so frustrating to watch and the Cards have been pretty exciting. It's not a big conflict because the only time we could meet in the playoffs is the Super Bowl so..... I'll never go to a Cards game if it means I would miss a Bills game, so the only time I can go is a bye week or MNF.

I don't buy crap at stadiums when I go to games, I also don't complain about it. I know the outrageous prices and deal with it. I can last a couple hours without eating.To still complain about the economics of sports is really quite ridiculous, I remember the start of baseball free agency back in the 70's, understood the shock to the system raising the costs for fans, but it's 40 years later, quit whining. It's been a fact of sports life for decades now. Regarding the trust with bids and such, first , you really have no idea what's really going on behind closed doors, there have been so much conflicting information that it is absurd to get fired up over the certain reports you decide to believe. In the end, and probably in the next couple weeks, Pegula will likely win the bidding, and the Bills will stay put. It really shouldn't matter to you and anyone else what he pays for it and how much profit the Wilson family makes. Whatever you think of Wilson as a owner, businessman or person.... I can't recall anything he has ever done that would be considered illegal or unethical. You can disapprove of his actions, but he has every right to those actions. I've never been a big fan of how he ran the team, however, he made it possible for me to be such a big football fan by keeping the team here my whole life, I'm grateful for that, and the best I can tell is that he did pretty much all he could do legally to sell the team to someone who would keep the team here for quite some time after he was gone. makes more sense , thanks.

I can't say for sure, but my guess is that if there were no bidders interested in keeping the team here, they would need an opportunity to leave, else they might not find a buyer. Just a guess.

Although the preseason looked horrible offensively, I thought Manuel played well last year, and if he didn't get hurt in the Cleveland game, the season likely would have had a much better outcome. Probably would have won that game and gone on from there. I think many are forgetting the bright side of his play as a rookie, missing lots of time. I will give him more regular season time to judge his performance.

yeah, this could be a real problem if they needed next years first rounder for a QB. My guess is either Whaley or a different GM would go the FA route for a QB. There will be no patience for another draft choice.

This is such a naive comment. Just because there is not an immediate threat to his job, don't think there is no accountability or pressure. The Bills invested a 1st round pick in Manuel, therefore it makes sense to give him every opportunity to succeed, which includes not having the week to week pressure of losing his job, but don't be misled into thinking he is being coddled. If he craps out this year, there will be competition for his job next year. But it makes perfect sense to give him all opportunities to succeed. This shouldn't be hard to understand.

When he wasn't winded, Gailey got him the ball. This is where reputation comes in to play. Pettine is praised yet, we had one of the worst run defenses in history. Ever! He had Alonso playing in a position that hurt our team over the long haul. Yes, we had lots of sacks , but that didn't help us win.
