I challenge everyone to watch the play that starts at 5:20 of the 4th quarter (Bills are down by 13 and absolutely need a stop to have any chance). Give me your take on Mario's level of effort. He comes free early in the play with about 6 yards of open space between himself and Sanchez. He starts running at Sanchez, then as he gets close he lifts his arms SLIGHTLY (to about head height) then immediately brings them down again and stops rushing. What is he thinking? With his 6'6" frame he needs to have his hands high in the air and at least jump if he can't get there in time. Knock down the pass or AT LEAST disrupt Sanchez's line of sight to Santonio Holmes. I noticed this in real time, but I think it looks worse watching it again.

Stunningly, the D has actually taken a step back.

I won't be here, I'll be at the Ralph.

You guys getting GR online? All I'm getting is total silence online and thru the phone app.

I want to know HOW Mario didn't raise his hands as he was rushing Sanchez on that throw!!!

Tell me about it. But we need to shake this off and BRING IT next week.

Now THERE'S an optimist.

Agree. The issue hasn't been lack of time in the pocket.

Gotcha, "bigbillsfan".

I have no reason to be down on Cordy Glenn.

Yup, so do the Jets. It's official now.

I have to believe CJ will have more balls thrown at him than Martin will.

It's a bit frustrating to me that the News' "Scouting Report" out this morning doesn't mention Pou'ha's status at all, and neither does WGR's 20-20 sports.

Was wondering the same thing. Kirwan maybe?

Great preview and analysis. A very enjoyable read.

I find it interesting that the idea of the Pats as "evil" extends beyond Bills nation.

Looks like there are many of us noobies this year.

Can't wait for the cooler weather. It was 99 in Houston yesterday.

Relatively speaking, "tickets sold" by itself has little to do with the Bills being a troubled franchise. The much bigger issues are the low rates they can charge for suites, advertising, sponsorships, and yes, tickets. All of this is a function of a small and relatively poor population, and this of course also plays into how unlikely it is that the area could financially support a new stadium. The fact is financially, Buffalo is a weak sister of the NFL anyway you slice it. But shame on Ralph for looking to Toronto.

Forget Ralph, WE are cheap!

What is it with this team and groins? Stevie, Pears, Anderson, am I missing anyone else?

Yea, mine was blank just the other day but I re-checked this morning after seeing these responses and the message was there. In your case, the fact that you have the app set up is a good sign.

Cool. Thanks for posting.

Agree completely.

Thanks for checking guys. I went to channel 114 and saw the authorized message - cool! BTW, the games' on channel 711. Thanks again.
