Sandhill Mike

He's managed to torment the Bills more than Favre did the Lions throughout his career. I hate to think he's going to retire without the Bills ever giving him the several curb-stompings he deserves.

Really... who didn't see that coming? I knew they'd cover the spread... just wait! Still time to do it again.

I know, right?!?

Not over yet.

Elite QB's don't do that.

Took them long enough to see it. He's been in the choke hold almost every time I've seen him.

Bummer... hope he's okay.

They won't let him around the edge... and the refs don't seem to mind the old chokehold block.

At least they haven't called holding on the Bills yet either... that will come when'/if the offense gets too close to the end zone.

Green Bay

I know man... all pregame, this has felt like a homecoming game for New England. I believe they said if he wins one more game here, he'll be the winningest QB in Buffalo since 2001... visitor OR home. I hate that guy.

The Bills will be sacrificed at the altar of Belichick in Prime Time... for the Boston mahket and the Patriots' nation-wide fan base. They'll enjoy this game the way I enjoyed the 1990 AFC Championship game. It's a lot of fun watching your team click on all cylinders, so they should be in for a treat. Last year's playoff team lost by 20 in Buffalo, 21 at Gillette. Knowing Brady's track record against the team (ESPECIALLY in nationally televised games), there is no logical reason to be optimistic. With the state of our offense, I honestly think New England could win with defense alone. Even if it's a competitive loss, it would be a sure heartbreaker as it was when Leodis fumbled a rare win away. Our only prayer is that this coming week is Bookie Weekend... it seems like there's one week in every season that all the division leaders/favorites lose.

I don't think there's any such thing as a bandwagon Bills fan.

I don't think the NFL misses out on its dream re-matchup of Pittsburgh and New England in the Championship game. But I'm less a fan of Marrone as it stands today. Besides, Mularkey has to live with the last name Mularkey. Now if you asked me which team I like less, Jacksonville or Tennessee... THAT would be a tough call. One finished Kelly's career (while still an infant of a franchise, no less) while the other was the God-chosen beneficiary of the Music City Miracle. Yes... I hold a grudge and have a long memory. I hope that the current Bills can even the ledger with both of those teams in the upcoming postseasons... and I hope Marrone and Mularkey are there for it.

Man, I'd settle for upsetting them in Buffalo.

Maybe he'll quit before he finishes and save himself the choking worries.

At least Tyrod didn't throw a pick... as if that's a claim to fame. He may only throw half the interceptions of an elite QB but he doesn't complete half the passes either.

True, though I hate to admit it. Like the Rams and 49ers, they have tons of talent from good drafting... they just need solid QB play.

I've hated them since 1996. Kelly deserved a better send off than the one he got.

Our offensive line isn't getting any push against those guys. Game plan doesn't look very creative so far.

Wondered the same... I didn't see fair catch signal.

Can't believe I'm finally sitting down to watch the Bills in the playoffs... Cowher was awesome in pregame and even predicted a win! Come on, process!

Playoffs!

THIS. You just know it. Belichick is too smart... I'll bet the appeal is a simple means to make sure it's the Bills game that he misses. He won't play, they won't need him, and all the drama is avoided.

Whatchawannabet Belichick doesn't play him in the rematch? Let's see if his suspension gets served that week or if he has an "injury" that keeps him out of the game.
