Success

Thanks, Pats fan. I feel like we finally got a break against you guys. Without that fumble, I give it 95% that New England pulls that game out.

No style points in football. We're 6-2, and just beat a 20 year nemesis. Happy.

And look at that - it's November, and the mighty Patriots are in 3rd place...

Did you guys lose it like we won the Super Bowl? We were going bananas here after that fumble. Makes me realize what that team has done to me over the years....

It felt better, I agree. But it wasn't as consequential.

If it cheers anyone up even more, I checked one of the Pats boards, and one post said "all I feel is pain."

Just told my 2 sons - both in their twenties - that this was the biggest Bills win I've experienced in their lifetimes. That almost made up for 20 years of misery. Awesome.

Need a positive play - a sack even. They're in 4 down the rest of the way.

A sneak, executed properly, should be indefensible. Like the kick at the end of Karate Kid.

So, Belichick just needs a roster, right? Any roster?

He should have been stopped 3-4 yards short.

Exactly what we needed to start the 2nd half. Now, we need to do 2 things: - get a quick turnover - run it up.

I don't feel like McD is a bad coach - but he's starting to feel more middlin'. More of a coordinator's mentality.

That holding penalty set up the pick. They have to tighten it up. This team gets too many penalties in key situations.

Feeling a Tre pick here...

It took Peyton Manning a few years to figure it out. But once he got it, he got it.

Let's get a turnover here...

I really respect this post.

It ends today!

I thought we got steals w/ both him & Edmunds. Obviously, both are still very young and can emerge as the guys we thought they'd be. But it's been pretty tough sledding to this point.

The weather is ruining my life. For 20 years, we wanted bad weather as an equalizer. I remember mostly sunny, calm days for Pats games. We finally have the better passing game - by a million miles - and we get this....

If the weather was nice tomorrow, I don't think it would be much of a contest. But the Bills big strength is the passing game. That could be neutralized w/ the winds. For 20 years, I wanted bad weather for these Pats games. One of the few things that could give us a chance. We're finally better than them - a LOT better - and they get the luck on that. But, no excuses. The Bills should win this going away. Make a statement against this team that has tormented us that it's all in the past now.

It's a big improvement, though. They were talking about 50 mph gusts a few days ago. No QB can pass downfield at 50 mph. 20 mph isn't great, but it opens up the passing game much more.

That's one huge piece of cheesecake right there. Oliver has been playing well - but here's hoping he has a signature game tomorrow. He can be very disruptive when he's on his game.

For any locals - has the weather forecast downgraded a bit? When I check the websites, it looks like they're now predicting the winds in the teens, with gusts up to 25 mph (about half of what it was a few days ago...)
