That is great news.

So it looks like out of town fans like me, and many others on this forum, who pay the exhoribitant Sunday Ticket fees so they can watch the Bills each week, will be screwed by the NFL. No Bills game this week.

I think this is the most likely scenario and probably the correct one, unless they manage to lose all their remaining games. I do think though that if Marrone does not replace Hacket, his fate after that is sealed.

I would be shocked if the Bills lost tonight. This matchup favors them across the board. Not that they can't shoot themselves in the foot like vs KC, but the Bills should dominate this game.

Post of the week.

Thread of the week.

Agreed. Hope it is just fans thinking this way. This is a big game. Hoping for a big Bills win but I would take any win, be it by 1 point, ugly or not

I understand your paranoia, but is there a single coach left from those teams? How many players? My guess is less than 10, probably more like 5. This is a much different team.

Not really. I agree that Pettine deserves some kudos for the job he had done this year, but the Bills defense is better this year than last, and going into this weeks games, the Bills and Browns had the same record, so I am not sure why you could say say Pettine would be better than Marrone at this point. Cleveland played a good game last night, but Andy Dalton truly sucks, and they clearly miss Jay Gruden.

I am beginning to lose hope that the "aha" moment is going to come. Spread the f'ng fiield already! It is what this team is currently built to do. They could be dominant with this approach.

He was every bit as mediocre as he has always been against the Texans. Two interceptions, one TD. Lucky it was just the Texans and Ryan Fitzpatrick is just as mediocre. He will win some games with the Eagkes but this is the end of their chances to win the Dvision.

No talking you out of a solid analysis. We need the Dolphins to win. They are, as usual, over rated and the Bills should beat them again. i would absolutely love the Jests to beats the Chefs. I agree on Green Bay. I think it is likely we will lose one of the "winnable" games and win one of the "unwinnable" games. Green Bay is very possible. So is New England. I realize people are expecting the usual to happen here, and there is certainly reason for that outlook, but I just think this team is different. I guess we shall see, but I am optimistic about 10 & 6 and have not given up on the Division. If NE rolls Denver this week, I may buy into them, but not yet.

Total BS. The Patriots are not a lock for the division. Of Houston and Buffalo, the team most likely to self destruct in the second half is Houston. Total smoke and mirrors. Unfortunately they won a game against the Bills they should not have won, but they will not reman that lucky. The Bills go 10 and six. If they beat the Pats in the last game, 11 & 5 and division champs. Take it to the bank.

I agree. I think it is going to come down to week 17 with NE for the Bills.

Week 8 - Bills @ Jets--win Week 10 - KC @ Buff-- win Week 11 - Bills @ Fish--loss Week 12 - Jets @ Bills-- win Week 13 - Browns @ Bills-- win Week 14 - Bills @ Denver-- loss Week 15 - Packers @ Bills-- loss Week 16 - Bills @ Oakland--win Week 17 - Bills at NE*-- win

Exactly. He thought he was beat and panicked. Look for the damn ball. It hit him in the head - would not have been hard to find.

It was a "safe" play to run from that position and situation which actually worked. It caught NE defending the pass downfield and he gained 15 yards. Had Spiller not fumbled the ball, the Bills were set up for a pass to get to field goal range, and they had a time out. The one time Spiller chose to NOT run out of bounds was the exact time he should have. There was nothing wrong with the play, everything wrong with Spiller's decision making.

While yesterday was disappointing, I am still excited as well. This forum is mostly unreadable after a loss, any loss. Fire everyone! Everyone sucks! The sky is falling! I think the sky is pretty much where reasonable people expected it to be at this point, but maybe that's just me. Part of why I watch the Bills and follow the team so closely is for the enjoyment of watching it all unfold over the course of a season. There are 10 more games I believe. We will see where we are then. In the meantime, buckle up and put on your raincoat if you insist on remaining positive in the face of massive loss induced hysteria.

Extremely good point and well said. Both teams are vastly different than in past years and the Bills are the team that is on the rise. I would be happy with a one point win, but my gut tells me this one goes big in the Bills favor. The Bills front seven will dominate the Pats forcing Marcia into rushed and bad throws. Two interceptions minimum in the offing, three to four sacks. I expect the Bills to come out more aggressive Sunday than they have been in terms of formations and tempo. Spread the field and run Spiller and Jackson. Orton can beat this defense. 37-23 Bills.

Seems about right.

I agree they were apparently trying to simplify for EJ. However, they definitely have the offensive scheme available. It is just a question of when and where they are going to feel comfortable with Orton. This could be the week. I hope so, because going 3 wide and spreading NE out seems the best way to attack them to me.

Great post! I am relying in our fans in the stadium on Sunday to make it impossible for Marcia. We are counting on you. Let's usher in this new era of Bills Football with a crushing defeat of the Pats. Go Bills!

Yes they do. It seems that Marrone decide to play along this week. The Bills injury report is loaded with players who will undoubtedly play, but are listed as Limited Participation which is the current equivalent to questionable.

Frankly, I always thought that any male that listened to Bon Jovi music was a bit gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that ....

He also can't spell "personnel" so that might have been the first clue.
