A top rated defense doesn't get you far anymore. The 2 best defenses that were in the playoffs both were one and done. I wouldn't be surprised if the Colts and the Saints make it to the Superbowl. 2 teams with good, not great defense but 2 really good offenses.

Only Bills fans believe that.

What I saw was the team with the pocket passer looked the best of all three. Mobile QBs aren't long for this league. I expect Dallas to lose to either the Rams or the Saints. Why does it seem so many Bills fans yearn for the days of defense?

Yeah watch team USA play for gold at the World Juniors.

Maybe back then it did. Its being up for a game when it means nothing in terms of playoffs. Steelers Ravens is a rivalry as they both usually are playing to win the division.

Maybe for you old school fans beating Miami means a lot but IMO its only a rivalry when both teams are good.

Whats there to be depressed about. The Sabres are in a playoff spot and are fun to watch.

Having a top ranked defense doesn't mean much in the NFL anymore. Only 4 of the top 10 are in the playoffs. The Chargers and the Bears are the only 2 with 10 wins or more.

Whats BS about either team?

The way Allen played today is the way the Bills should build their offense. He is not a prolific passer and never will be Let him play like Jackson does for Baltimore. He may only be a couple year wonder but atleast he will be exciting.

The way he played today is the way they should build the offense around him. Stop making him be a pocket passer. He is at his best when he runs around and is running the ball. He is never going to be a Tom Brady or Drew Brees. Nothing wrong with him playing like Vick or RG3 as that is his strength.

IMO they should stop trying to make him a pocket passer as its something he is not. The best games he has played is the ones he ran the ball a lot with some passes thrown in.

Once again you offer very little to the thread as you once said to me.

A lot of that has to do with Bills fans mostly watching Bills games and not many other games each week. Judging by the sunday night game thread a lot of Bills fans are missing out on good football being played each week.

Its not worse then the train at New Era Field

The Ref with Dennis Leary is one of the best ones.

Its only a rivalry in fans minds now. IMO that rivalry has been dead for years now as neither team has been that good.

There will still be tailgating but it will most likely in lots owned by the Bills. It will cut out a lot of the stupidity that goes on in the private lots.

I can understand not watching the team when they are bad. Overall hockey is a great sport and its a shame more Americans don't like it.

Balance is not necessarily best. Look at the top teams in the league. They throw first most of the time. Being a run first team doesn't win much in this league anymore.

I have been a Sabres fan since the days that Hartford had team. My first game was a 9 goal win against Hartford at the AUD. That thread about Americans not liking hockey was more towards the southern US sports fan. Buffalo had always supported their teams. Its more that in Canada where I live most live and breath hockey. I find it hard to understand why most Americans have it so far down their list of sports.

No I was more nervous for the Sabres in winning their 9th straight.

Its always bothered me cause even when the Sabres do well all most on tv or radio for the most part want to talk about is the Bills. I like football, I just don't understand the obsession over a team that has been bad more then good.

Yeah some of you are. How many more wins will it take for most people in Buffalo to take notice. All I am saying is that people need to start paying more attention to a winning team.

9 straight wins and everyone in Buffalo wants to talk about a rookie QB on a team thats 3 and 7.
