Virgil

What reason do you have to believe that we will ever really have Watkins back? Hopefully this is all a fluke, but he's missed games every season. At this point, it's not unreasonable to think that he's only another injury away from being too injury prone to give the money too? His foot. Was his hip. Then his shoulder. I'm happy to be wrong, but I'm just not optimistic anymore.

INteresting

Hindsight is 20/20. And Mack looks very clear 😀

This the dumbest !@#$ing post I've ever seen. There's no way he misses 10 passes

What's really sad is, real or not, it finds a way to work out that way. Only for the Bills I don't think it helps. They beat everyone, but they tend to REALLY beat those with a cocky attitude. And we have Rex....

I have a bad feeling about this game. While last week was great, Rex's demeanor this week and attention being brought about us never seems to end well. Bilicheat can pretend to ignore it all he wants to, but you know Edelman and him love to stick it to people. Now, I'm looking forward to see Brandon Spikes and our run defense handle business, but their defense has done a great job this year. I see a close one 21-17 Pats

Did I miss something here? What's going on with Romo and the Cowboys?

BB is such a smug !@#$ that he would try win this game without a QB. I know we won't, but I hope we dominate them, hurt Marsha's feelings, and then break his ass when he comes to town. If we finish 3-13 with that result, I'll still have something to smile about. Yes, my hatred is real.

This is a pleasant surprise and I'm happy to hear it. I know Rex was calling plays for a while. I never liked the HC focusing on too much on side of the ball. I also liked when I heard that Rex sat in on the offensive meetings. Let these guys do their job and be a head coach. Hopefully this is the beginning of things coming together

Probably

How was the wind. Both punters struggled and Carpenter missed the XP. Besides just crushing all three players, I'm curious to know if the wind was a factor. Also, some of the deep throws seemed a bit off for both QB's

Yes, it's a big task to ask him to beat the Pats at home when they are 3-0. But he's put himself in this spot by starting 1-2. As for Palmer, you clearly on a mission here because you ignore other posts I've made. I've given him props for yesterday. He did all the things I would love to see him do. If the team showed up like that every week, none of us would have issues with Rex. But unfortunately, that's not the case. He's 1-2 in getting his team prepared and ready to play. Also, feel free to read my signature for more of my opinion. What I don't understand is where your thread was last week, the week before, or at the end of last season where he tanked the 4th rated defense.

I really didn't think about that. Is he still in rehab? If so, I wouldn't think he would be game-shape ready by week 5

Wait, what gave it away?! I'm trying to be subtle

Rex is good for 8 wins a year since 2010 until proven otherwise. He will pull off some upsets, but this is only one game. If he was a good coach, we would be 2-1 or 3-0 based upon our schedule. I give him props for yesterday. But it's way too early to call him a good coach anymore.

I'm really surprised. I thought they were at the point to make the jump. Their D should have been much better and the offense looked good last year.

I reserve the right to hold at 6-10 until next week. If they get to 2-2, they are back in it. At 1-3, I think some guys realize the odds against them and the fight fades out.

The environment of the game always dictated standing and was typically set by the very first row. If it's a close game and the first row stands, then it's a domino effect and everyone ends up standing. I'm completely fine with that. Now, if it's a blow out, against a nobody, team, that makes a difference. But again, the crowd as a whole can feel that atmosphere change anyways. You hear announcers all the time say how the opposing team really took the crowd out of it. With that, if you are in the lower bowl and the 10 rows in front of you are sitting down, then sit down. Now you are being obnoxious. You are no better than the people who can't time when to go get drinks/bathroom. For those who have older people or kids, I wouldn't recommend the lower bowl during the first few home games or against division rivals. Yes, everyone has a right to go anywhere, but it doesn't make it smart. I can't go to a rock concert and be mad when the form a mosh pit. I can't wait to take my daughter to her first football game, but it's going to be a while until I know she can handle the noise, profanity, and standing. I want her to experience the whole thing. If not, or I'm taking my old mother, then I will sit in the upper bowl or family section. To the OP, I agree with you. To the guy with the people standing in front of you and only they were standing. I agree with you. But overall, you run that risk when you go to the best tailgating stadium in the league. People get kicked out everywhere. You need to be prepared for it

1 - Hughes 2 - McCoy 3 - Gilmore 4 - Graham 5 - Felton

McKelvin is out for this game too. It's crazy what they are doing to the Steelers

Are you mad at your friends? Did they not pay you back on a loan? Why would you do this to them? We don't know any better.

McCoy had a great game and I can't argue why he'd be your MVP. I just think the defense set the tone of this game and his pressure was the first part of it. No question McCoy was offensive

As the commentators said, the DB's were just making plays this week. They were in position last week and just couldn't make the same plays. I've been very happy with Alexander filling in for Shaq. Spikes for Ragland has been good too. Now Dareus......!@#$ Dareus. I can only imagine our pass rush with that selfish !@#$ plowing up the middle

I was thinking the same thing

1 - This was the first game I've seen in a long time where they came out ready to play. The first offensive series gave me a scare with a punt, but Woods did get held and I think he scores a TD if he wasn't. He had the guy beat by a step and that hold caused him the 1-2 steps he needed. The team was fired up on defense out the gate and the Bills offense kept it going. Good job to Lynn and Rex for getting them ready 2 - Felton. I can't stress this enough. Felton was HUGE in this game. On all of the replays, he was right there making blocks for McCoy and they were big blocks. It was great to see us utilize him. 3 - TT looked comfortable. Yes, that read option pitch was almost a nightmare and his passing totals weren't huge. But after that first long run, you finally saw him making those short passes he's been missing. He was accurate, he made some throws over the middle. He wasn't great, but he was so much better than the first two weeks. I'm taking is as a sign of progress. Not done with him yet. 4 - Paradise waits, on the crest of a wave, her angels in flames. She has no pain, like a child she is pure, she is not to blame. Poised for flight, wings spread bright, spring from night into the sun. Don't stop to run, she can fly like a lie, she can't be outdone. Tell me the cost; I can pay, let me go, tell me love is not lost. Sell everything; without love day to day insanity's king. I will pay day by day, anyway, lock, bolt and key. Crippled but free, I was blind all the time I was learning to see. Help on the way, well, I know only this, I've got you today. Don't fly away, cause I love what I love and I want it that way. I will stay one more day, like I say, honey it's you. Making it too, without love in a dream it will never come true. 5 - I made a post before the game about how others needed to step up in wake of all the injuries and that they did. O'Leary had a great catch, Powell came up big a few times. White was huge in place of Darby. Can't say enough good things 6 - Carpenter needs to get it together. We can't afford these misses. I love him for 50+ yarders, but he's got to be more consistent on the extra points and short yardage kicks. Those can be such momentum killers 7 - MVP - Hughes. Just been a monster this season and really stepping up without Dareus. Runner up - Gilmore definitely bounced back and was happy to see it. Took advantage of Palmer being in catch-up time, was patient, and jumped on the plays when they unfolded. His INT was a great catch. 8 - Fans are another MVP. There were parts of the stadium that never sat down. I've said it before and I'll say it again; best true fans in the league 9 - McCoy. I don't know if it's a slight to Roman or if he just fed off the energy, but this man was running hard today. He looked like the man we traded for and you could see the fight in his eyes. More importantly, he was having fun out there. 10 - Rex. I have to give credit where it's due. You handled business today. Others may question how we played softer in the 4th quarter but he played the odds, our lead, and the clock. When he did blitz in the 4th, it was effective. The only play where I lost my mind was the time-out before the delay of game. But they turned around with a great blitz and killed that drive. So, I apologize for the thoughts in my brain. On to New England for a critical game. 2-2 would be a decent start for us heading into this season. Not the games I would have picked to win, but I'd take it. Enjoyed the Shoutbox and look forward to a week with a check in the win column. Go Bills
