Some good, some bad... I'm amazed at the defense undoing the Rex damage in such a short time. If they stay healthy, they'll be a force this season. (I know Cam wasn't 100%, but they still did a great job under the circumstances.) I'm disappointed in the offense, even though they nearly pulled off a miracle win at the end (thanks to the D for making that a possibility.) I expect a fourteen page debate about whether Tyrod should have made a better throw or Zay should have caught it, since it went off his hands. (The answer is both - it wasn't perfectly placed, but it was catchable.) I'm 50/50 on the coaches. Offensive play calling in the first half wasn't impressive, but they made some decent halftime adjustments. The improved defense wasn't about personnel - that was definitely scheme and coaching, so I'll give them a thumbs up for that. On the other hand, the clock management was bad. And what the heck happened on that first quarter unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the coaches?

I'll give them a B for now. They whiffed on the first HC hire, but they ended the "Rexperiment" at the right time, and McD looks like a good hire.

That reminds me... What's the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist? About $100 an hour.

We're being invaded by the godless hurricanes from space? Somebody tell Les Nessman!

Two math professors are sitting at a bar. One says, "I am so disappointed in people nowadays. Hardly anyone understands math." The other one says, "I think you're too hard on people." The first man says, "Whatever - I'm going to the bathroom." The remaining professor calls the bartender and says, "When I call you over next time and ask you a question, answer with 'X-cubed divided by 3.'" "What?" The professor says, "Repeat after me: X-cubed divided by 3." "Ex-cooooobed deevided by tree." The other professor comes back from the bathroom and the optimistic professor says, "Hey, I bet I can prove that an ordinary working woman knows high level math." The other professor says, "Prove it to me." The first professor calls the bartender and says, "What is the integral of x-squared?" The bartender answers, "X-cubed divided by 3!" As she walks away the other professor is amazed. Suddenly the bartender turns around and yells, "PLUS THE CONSTANT OF INTEGRATION!"

A woman wakes up on her birthday to find her husband grinning. He says, "You told me that for your birthday, you wanted something that goes from 0 to 200 in five seconds. Look out the window. She does, and sitting in the driveway, there's a bathroom scale. --------------- A Catholic priest and a rabbi are discussing their vows. The priest says, "Have you ever had bacon?" The rabbi responds, "Yes, once in my youth, I strayed from the faith and ate bacon. It was good." The priest chuckles. The rabbis says, "Have you ever had sex?" The priest says, "Yes, when I was in high school, I did engage in sexual relations with a girl." The rabbi grins and says, "It's better than bacon, isn't it?"

A trigonometry professor with ADHD could never finish a lecture; he kept going off on tangents. Whenever he got sidetracked, his students knew it was a bad sine.

Yeah. Sometimes it's good to reconnect; other times, you realize there's a reason you haven't stayed in touch.

A priest, a rabbi, and a minister walk into a bar. The bartender says, "What is this, a joke?" A guy walks into a bar wearing a set of jumper cables. The bartender says, "Don't start anything." A guy walks into a bar and says, "Ow!"

We agree with the OP. It got off to a slow start but it has promise, so we'll give it a few more episodes.

Even better. A detached arm has a lot more reach.

It was amputated; he'll be playing with one arm, like Def Leppard's drummer.

I think we can all agree that it wasn't a perfect throw, but it was catchable. TT is capable of making that throw with better ball placement, but that time he didn't. It happens to all QBs from time to time. CC is capable of making that catch, even with the ball not perfectly placed, but that time he didn't. It happens to all receivers/TEs from time to time.

Holsters are expensive.

"When I hold you in my arms, and I feel my finger on your trigger..."

Clearly Adams was the instigator, but I didn't think either of them did anything worthy of being ejected.

I don't know, but I know the stadium has a reputation for gusty winds, especially near one particular end zone. I'm not sure if that's the side they were on at the time, though.

At least once I saw him using an oxygen mask.

Where is this "tact" in which they're keeping his arm?

I was thinking some kind of wind gust. A pull or hook tends to curve more gradually. That was more like a receiver running a down-and-out route, or Shady making a juke move on a linebacker.

Well sure, we're undefeated and all, but we haven't beaten a team with a winning record yet this season. ;-)

The biggest difference between the last couple of years and what we saw yesterday really comes down to the coaching. The team was prepared, the game-plan was solid, and the guys played with discipline. I haven't seen that from the Bills in quite some time. It's a refreshing change.

That'll come in handy when we play another AFCE team that makes its living off the quick-pass game.

Hard to complain about the play calling - for the most part, it worked. The Bills were in control of the game on both sides of the ball. Game management was good. Plays got in efficiently, no dumb penalties. With less than 4 minutes to go, I was hoping they'd take Shady out of the game. No need to risk him at that point. Other than that, I'm happy with the coaching staff's performance.

Like Stephen Wright's plan to live forever, so far, so good.
