TPS

They are playing as well as any team in the NFL right now. They have a very easy schedule remaining; the Bills are probably their toughest opponent left. As I said in a thread last week, the KC game will determine if they have a shot at the post-season. They really could use a win tomorrow...

i don't know, this seems to fit more in line with things we discussed prior to the Iraq invasion: Middle East regime change was outlined in the neoconservative PNAC plan put forth in the late 1990s--first Iraq, then Syria, then Iran, though they thought they could get it done in 5 years. Obama/bush, rep/dem, doesn't matter. Btw, I asked what people thought of gabbard's view, but I see it's been discussed somewhat in the Putin thread.

Looks as if they are trying...http://news.yahoo.com/french-muslim-calls-on-peers-to-stop-terrorism---the-solution-will-come-from-us-165741864.html Interested in any takes on this Congresswoman's view: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3hRF1TIgCU&feature=share she recently introduced a bill to end our "illegal war" in Syria, co-sponsored with a republican member of the Armed Services Committee.

Thanks as usual. Wondering if you could check one thing, how much time did TT stand in the pocket before delivering the TD pass to KW? Seemed that play took an eternity to develop and still no one near Taylor.

I was thinking about this today, that the KC game will most likely determine the Bills' playoff fate.

Could be another long night for Miller (and TT) Thursday...

Personally, I've seen enough evidence to believe he is a franchise QB in the sense he is someone who can win a Super Bowl without relying solely on a great D (a la Dilfer et al). He is good enough to win now, and he will only get better.

Whenever I hear about "aurora borealis" I think if the film "Local Hero"....

There should be fewer "Whaley sucks!" threads....

Maybe appropriate for the past 15 years or so...Sunday Bloody Sunday, U2

End up with Tom Modrak...

I expected them to be 5-3 at the half-way mark, which is a very real possibility. I don't know about beating the Jets in Jersey. They are the number 1 defense (hello Rex!) and our offense is sputtering without its play-makers.

Just came over to check if there was an update--great news! Welcome home.

Get well Bill. Looking forward to one hell of a post after the Bills win Sunday!

One thing I noticed about their sack totals, 13 of their 15 came at home.

as I posted in another thread about the quality of the current coaching staff, one has to go back to the Wade years to find a staff as good as this one...

My favorite interview of all the bills coaches, including Rex. http://www.buffalobills.com/video/videos/Dennis-Thurman-Well-compete-with-them/e0962c54-be0c-40b3-a60c-515428384372 I don't mean this interview, I just enjoy listening to him. Hope he gets an opportunity at HC soon.

I think one has to go back to the Wade Phillips years find a better staff than this one....

This will be a great match up between the Bills' D and the Bengals' O, which will determine the outcome of the game. Much like the Bills when healthy, the Bengals have a lot of weapons. The D will have to hold them to < 20, which may be asking too much. Even if they do, I'm not sure the Bills O can score more, given the injuries. Bengals 23 Bills 17

That 'splains it!

I saw the Bengals @ Bills two years ago, and the Bills lost in OT. Now, unless they played 6 home games between that one....

bills will score more than 20 and hold the Titans to < 20.

Having raised the question in the summer of whether Ryan's D would be better than the Schwartz D, I have to say it's a bit premature to pine for the Schwartz at the moment. Let's at least wait until the half-way mark to make any judgments...

This match-up should be the canary that tells us if the players got the message about personal foul penalties and holding their emotions in check. Lewan will be trying to push Jerry's button...

As so often happens in the NFL, and sports in general, favored teams "read the headlines" and act as if being favored to win means they will win. The Bills came out flat, and the Giants were pumped. The mistakes meant they could not recover.
