I agree with the one game at a time mentality; for sure, and yes we have been down this road before only to witness disasters. I think McDermott is the key. He's changed the culture so much, it's hard not to feel a little hope for us to be at least competitive and in the hunt.

I figured we would hang close through the first half with our defense and then they would just get gasses because our offense has issues staying on the field. I thought that mid way through the third Denver would pull away and then walk away with it. Glad I was SO wrong. What a game it was. This defense is for real, and hopefully the offense can keep making progress.

Has anyone looked at the scheduled next 8 games? Based on how our defense is playing, and if our offence can continue to grow and make strides an 8-3 record is not out of the question. I see Atlanta and KC as the toughest games we will have, with the others as very winnable based on how those teams are currently playing. What do you all think?

I don't get the Fiance` suing the Patriots. He was not in the league for all that long. Clearly his "CTE issues" started long before joinging the Patriots. If you sue them, you need to sue the college he attended as well. Its a money grab. Nothing more.

I love it when someone reads from their crystal ball and tells everyone how it would have been with a different OC, or QB, or what ever. The fact is, you or anybody else have any clue how it would have turned out. Just like everyone else, you THINK or HOPE it could have been different but you don't KNOW it would have been. So sick of these types of posts.

Maybe Watkins hauls that one in, but there are no guarantees. It was a bad throw. Its what happens when you put a smaller "slot" receiver on the outside, he didn't have the height to stretch out for a better attempt at the grab. No reason for Zay to hang his head. That loss in on TT.

Are you crying? There's no crying in....... Oh, wait, sorry! Wrong sport. Seriously, Its a game. I love my Bills, but there is no reason to cry over anything that happens playing a game, unless someone God forbid died.

Interceptions and fumbles certainly would be a thing of the past along with injuries. LOL!!!!

Funny thing is Soccer really isn't all that safer to play than football if it is at all to begin with. No helmet, or pads. They have some pretty nasty collisions in Soccer too.

I agree, They have to earn the respect on the field with the teams they play against. Al Michael's is an announcers, and should not be making disrespectful comments like that. The Patriots have had other former Bills players in the past and none of them that I recall turned out that great for them so I don't get the value of him making a dumb comment like that especially in the first game of the season in the first half.

Not true. Last night was GREAT! loved seeing the Patsies get spanked.

It's the Jets, I have to say Bills 31 Jets 10. Bills start out with a FG. I think Shady rushes for at least 150 and TT throws for 250. Shady and Banyard get one rushing TD each. TT throws for one. Defense gets a few picks and one is a pick six. The Jets only touchdown comes in garbage time

My prediction......The Patriots play Seattle in the Superbowl after beating the Bills in a close one for the AFC final. (can't believe I typed this with a straight face)

wait...what??? That is one SERIOUSLY bold prediction.

Because its football and it's the Bills. I can't help but watch. I have been watching the Bill's since I was about 8 years old (34 years) and I'm not going to stop now.

I agree. I find the whole thing pretty amusing. People are calling the guy a douche like they actually know the guy and arguing over who the best QB has been since Kelly. for the most part, all we get to see of players are their "Football personalities" we don't get to know these guys personally and then they have the gull to call a guy a douche. As for who the best QB has been, statistics really don't mean squat. It's wins and losses that matter, and the FACT is he won MORE games than any other QB we have had in a single season. Was he a douche? maybe! The guy had talent and he was a gamer. What he didn't have was the size to go with that talent, but he still fought like hell to make it work, regardless of what team he was on. I have never met Doug, and I probably never will, but given some of the personal stuff they guy has gone through, the guy probably deserves a break on the douche-o-meter that everyone measuring him to. For f**k sake, let it go people. it was 15 years ago.

I was thinking the same thing. With Edelman out for the year they are going to need a good\reliable receiver. He has show he appears to be both. He is the exact type of guy they like to put on their teams. If he gets cut, I would not be surprised if the Patsies pick him up and have that cheating f*@k Brady makes him look like Jerry Rice. I have to say, after watching some video footage on Rielly, The kid is looking more and more like Andre Reed. The kids got amazing hands and concentration. Some of those on his back catches we spectacular.

I was wondering the Same thing. Does anyone know who the emergency QB is? What happens if Wenning goes down (God forbid) after Peterman is done for the night. Assuming he plays at all, which I think he will for at least a few series. Does Peterman go back in and risk injury or do you play the emergency QB?

How is TT throwing when in concussion protocol?

Might as well trade him if you can get something for him, especially since he was "fighting for a roster spot" as McD has been quoted as saying. If there was a good chance of cutting him, best to trade him and get something for him.

I don't understand the "sky is falling" mentality. Tyrod has been decent during the seasons, enough to be top 10 in scoring anyway and had the 2nd best rushing. People seem to forget these games are not game planned at all. Peterman looks to have promise as well so he will be an okay stop gap now that Tyrod has a concussion. The defense is looking much better than last year as well. Will we win a lot of games? Who knows, but after the disaster Rex did to this team the last 2 years its going to take a year maybe 2 to get where we need to be before we are playoff competitive.

I would have to agree with the many who said Marino had more talent. But Kelly was the better overall QB without a doubt. The only Stats that matter are the Wins and Losses. Kelly was a better field General than Marino, a total gamer. Many forget that Kelly was calling his own plays in the huddle, especially during the K-Gun Offense. They guy was a master at it. I was surprised that he never went into coaching QB's or the Offense because he had the skills to run one.

I don't care how desperate a team is, no GM in his right mind is offering a first round pick along with a fourth and sixth. NEVER would happen. You might get an offer for third, fourth, and sixth but not a first rounder.
