SF Bills Fan

That is why I say no blowout. Brady can make alot happen with little, but they are pretty weak at receiver and the possibility of no Gronk should make it hard to really light it up even with a suspect Bills secondary. also, Pettine knows how to defend against Brady.They will see how much they miss Welker on Sunday. The accuracy level on people predicting a good buzz by halftime is going to be 100%.

I think we will lose, but it won't be a blowout. 24-17 and Brady won't look spectacular. We will see some good things out of EJ and the defense. We will continue to improve through the season.

Thank the football gods.

I'm going to go with 99.5%

I think Houston will be the team to beat. The Bengals will be serious contenders as will the Broncos if Manning has another great year. The Pats are starting their slide and I think the Ravens lost too many good players in the offseason, but should still be tough. The door is open for some younger teams to step up.

If you play in the NYC market, you will be a target. It's a huge risk-reward situation. If you perform well and win, you will be a god. If you do not, you will be mercilessly destroyed. The media picked on Manning at first, then he won two Superbowls and he is now great in their eyes. Sanchez was a media darling at first. He didn't win (anything big) so he is now relegated to NY Post punchlines. Imagine in this day and age what would happen to a guy like Namath? His boast was a big deal back then, but it would be magnified times a million today. If he lost, he would be run out of town. Buffalo is so low profile that failure is an option. Few will know.

The Baltimore Ravens team that beat the Giants in 2000. I think they went on a 5-6 game stretch where they didn't even score a touchdown. The 9-7 Giants of recent years is also up there. The Pats team that beat the Rams was also mediocre at best- I think we all agree that their taping of the Rams practices gave them a big advantage.

We are so effing cursed. I still want him starting. We needed this next game to continue what was an extremely promising pre season so far.

Last year when I was back for the Bills-Pats I walked to the stadium double fisted (i was going for it) past many cops with nary a second look. Times they are a changing.

I want us to be the ones that injure him.

agreed- NFL teams have generally been reluctant to open the books. The Bills are highly secretive. I recall that many years ago, there was a peek at the books and it was noted that Ralph Wilson paid himself a huge salary as President of the team. Even without a new stadium, if the Bills sold naming rights and raised tickets prices by $10 across the board, they would move up several slots.

It is interesting to note that Bills have a higher revenue figure than several teams ahead of them in larger markets. Even with the lowest ticket prices, they still do well. I like having the Bills valued lower, it will be easier for a local buyer to purchase them when the time comes.

Hamstring is one of those nagging injuries that could be a problem well into the season

The coverage seemed to be skewered toward Indy at the beginning, but I attribute to the fact that Indy was a playoff team and it was at their house. It was more balanced toward the end as the Bills were a bit of a surprise.

This team looks to be much faster than anything we've seen in a decade. Young and fast- with what appears to be a good coaching foundation. I'm optimistic.

Manuel has looked shaky so far. Seemed more composed last drive. Let's hope it's just rookie jitters.

All stuff we have heard before. The Rams and Raiders will move in the next few years. Buffalo is small but regionally, they have a medium sized market. the article fails to mention that Jacksonville can't move because they have an ironclad lease and the Rams have deep ties to LA with Stan Kroenke.

Buffalo is few years away from having 4-5 new major hotels downtown including 2 Marriotts, a Hilton and a new Sheraton most of which are under construction right Now. Until then, it is still pretty underserved as far as hotels go. Check out the new Lafayette- that place is pretty sweet. If you can stay there do it.

I saw him on Letterman a few times and it was pure comedy gold. Letterman clearly knew this guy was pretty special and one of a kind because I think he was there something like 10 times. RIP Art!

Ha! I like that strategy. I just can't allow him to go over to that evil empire.

Oh it is on. There is no way I lose this one!

My 11 month old son just got up from a nap and my wife (who is from Dallas) points at the TV and say "is that you team?". The war has begun.

Oh man- cue the outrage
