  1. With guys like Rodak starting to write these kind of stories about Buffalo it tells me that what I am watching is real. More important than what I am watching is real, is that what I am watching this year is different. in the past 17 years Buffalo has been here before. We have had fast starts before. Than out of nowhere all the issues that were apparent all year show up the remainder of the year. This team is not making dumb penalties, or prone to turnovers. One side of the ball is not hiding glaring weaknesses of the other unit. They are playing together, playing as a team. The units are picking up the other right when they team needs it. The Bucs game. Buffalo blows a 4th quarter lead. Our best corner gets beat for what looked like a game winning Td with a little over 3 mins left. He was right with him but it was 5-11 on 6-5 and that reach was the difference. 3 plays later the offense tied it up. I wasn't their and haven't been to a home game in years. My observation from my office computer at work was that was the most electric I have seen the stadium in years. Tied game plenty of time for Winston and the offense who shredded them through the air the whole second half. The first play of the drive the game goes full circle. The prized rookie who just got beat not only punches the ball out also recovers. That was a team win that has not been seen in these parts for years. Multiple places for the Bills to fold. instead they took the game back that they seemingly gave away like they have for many years. Tonight I do not have the same nervousness that I have had in years past. On paper Buffalo is better. On the field Buffalo is better. Buffalo is executing better, Buffalo is also more consistent. Short week easy to lose focus to a tougher than realized rival, the difference is Buffalo was injected with a solid dose of excitement Tuesday. Say what you want but players notice what has happened since training camp. The first 2 trades brought better teammates good players but not special talents. Last week they got rid of Daures another talent but high paid and not fulfilling is potential. Instead of selling they bought some talent and brought in a massive upgrade at Wr. 6-5 245 and supremely talented helps. Fits what the team needs. As a running ball control offense you need to score TDs and pick up 3rd downs Benjamin does those well.
  2. A true defensive play maker. Some guys just make plays. Hyde was all over the field for GbB. There loss is our massive gain.
  3. No superstitions. Play the game and limit your own mistakes and they win. These Thursday games comes down to who is more disciplined. I expect that team to be Buffalo. Two straight wins vs 3 straight losses, add in the big bump of making the big win now move with Benjamin. I expect buffalo to jump out to a lead in the first half and force the Jets into playing catch up which will result in TO that eventually ends in a lopsided victory for Buffalo. 38-13 Bills. Benjamin makes a surprise start. He scores the first TD of the game.
  4. Humber and I will even go with Alexander that they were and are such high caliber Special teams players that they were never given a full opportunity as a starter because they wouldn't want that special teams contributions to be effected, Much in the way Levy would not play Tasker that much on offense. Poyer suffered a fairly severe and bizarre injury last year for Cleveland. He earned the starting spot than the injury happened, also they are the Browns. Hyde is perplexing to me. Whenever I watched a Packers game the last 2 years Hyde always made plays. Kick or Punt returns then at saftey, at slot corner, and even at boundary corner he made plays. Maybe they thought he could be more than a situational player Idk. I was excited they got him and he is balling out.
  5. Its a trust thing. Taylor threw tight throws to Watkins. A few passes to Hunter last year were tight for tds. Benjamin is a go to guy. Third down, redzone he is the guy.
  6. Do both. Build around Taylor and bring in a young guy with some potential. I dont think we need to trade the farm for a qb but they can package a pick or 2 for the right guy.
  7. I think he makes an appearance and catches a TD.
  8. Having Benjamin adds a dimension to the team and adds a feeling to the franchise that hasn't been felt in awhile. Starts tomorrow night. I think Buffalo rolls the Jets on National TV. The whole NFL world still does not know how to take the Bills at 5-2 and also the news they got a 6-5 number 1 Wr for a 3rd and 7th. He is a freak and once he steps on the field it changes the whole dynamic for a defense. Buffalo makes the playoffs and this move is to take advantage of the AFC's biggest weakness the Defenses and Secondary. Buffalo will contend for the Division and it wont be decided until week 17.
  9. Great trade. Just look at his teammates reactions. Here with Darby, Watkins, Jones, Ragland, and Darues their was basically crickets. Benjamin was a good get.
  10. Bejamin move well enough to be a very good deep threat. Give me 6-5 vs 5-10/11 down the sideline. Back shoulder fade or he just high points the ball.
  11. He didnt look out of shape against us or the last few weeks. Our run game is better than Carolina's and Taylor is a more accurate passer than newton. Move him around and give him more than getting killed over the middle.
  12. With our running game give me single high saftey and him 1 on 1
  13. Benjamin will not make an impact on the feild Thursday. If he dresses maybe a redzone/goaline package at most. This trade though will provide an emotional boost. I think the Bills steamroll the jets and the trade adds to their momentum.
  14. People that i know who are Panther fans are not happy. Benjamin is a matchup nightmare. Pair him with our run game, Matthews, and Clay we have a very scary offense.
  15. 2 years a go he was in training camp. Differant playbook.
  16. Doubt it. Maybe goaline fade or fly route.
  17. Mini bye and ready to roll for the Bills down the stretch. This is a huge difference maker. Taylor has a guy to demand doube teams and throw to one on one deep love it.
  18. A 3rd and a 7th for a 6-6 WR who can get down the field i like it.
  19. Wow. Dont know how true this is but man. That is the deep threat that is needed.
  20. Their deadline move was dumping Darues.
  21. Karma and lady luck has been on the side of NE since 2000 when they drafted the best Qb in the draft last. 40 year old qb with no viable back up. Just seem like NE is due for some poor luck.
  22. Sure trust the process, but trading away your feature back and illegibly shopping their top WR in season doesn't point their team in the right direction.
  23. Miami is starting the tank.
  24. As well as Humber played this year I still do not see how you take Milano off the field. He is making plays and can cover.
  25. Brady first season. The tuck rule to beat Oakland made the Patriots.
