Bravo, my friend. Well played.

I did find this link for anyone interested: http://www.buffalobills.com/media-center/videos/Sound-FX-Patriots-vs-Bills/f9752765-f642-4a37-8d16-38d48f5d5ad8 It shows, at least, a portion of the soundbytes.

I think this can best be summed up by that classic Dan Dierdorf quote, "When you look at Ryan Fitzpatrick, you're looking at the Quarterback of the Buffalo Bills."

Thank you for posting that Rubes. As you alluded, there have been many wanting to draw comparison, but you actually did it. Unbelievable parallels in the stories... right down to the scores. I have a gut feeling right now that we're going to get something special out of this group... I really do.

Oddly enough, you're probably correct. I've seen FG's I thought could stand to be reviewed... in real time when that ball passes above the upright it's not always clear I don't think.

YE OLE just finished reading it. Terrific piece... YE got a little emotional reading it.

YE OLE will second that. I missed it and it sounds like it was something worth seeing, gents. Anyone know if they're replaying it?

As a special tribute to the era that was. Celebrating the '02-'10 Bills. It'll have a certain nostalgia to it as the years go by, gents.

One can only hope that THE AMISH RIFLE will be a shoe in for such a prestigious piece of hardware.

Anyone see the exchange between Belichick and Daniels before the Denver/New England game that season? It was one of the interesting things they played on A Football Life. Talk about ICY... Daniels tried to talk to him pregame and exchange pleasantries and Belichick totally blew him off. Cut him off mid sentence and said something the effect of "Yeah yeah, look lets just shake hands now and after the game call it good"

Those flowing locks really complemented the Uggs so well. Tis a shame, gents!

Fitz is who we thought he was! No pay him so we don't LET EM' OFF THE HOOK!

Andre should be in. 10th all time in receptions 11th all time in yards receiving 12th all time in receiving TD's 7 time Pro Bowler Played in 4 Super Bowls There's no reason for Andre Reed not to be in the HOF.

Undoubtedly Dareus isn't showing up on these kinds of lists because of the lack of stats. But he's sure made a huge impact. He tipped that ball for the Drayton INT... our run defense has been terrific. Dareus and Williams are winning battles in the trenches.

YE OLE would hazard a guess that no team has more parodies written about it than the Bills. I came across this little jingle while perusing the interwebs this afternoon. Thought you gents might like it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBy0uxSgIxA

YE OLE's production level has significantly decreased this week due to watching, rewatching, and analyzing this masterpiece.

If memory serves, Prisco has always been decent to us. That said, he's begrudgingly putting us at 3 you can tell, but the games should count for something. Ultimately the teams winning are the better teams right now. Who knows if it will be true at the end of the year, but it should come down to "what have you done for me lately?" I'm sure the first loss the Bills suffer will drop them quite a bit in all of these polls.

YE OLE got good points last season with Spiller due to all the kickoff yards. The Bills were getting kicked off to frequently and Spiller would gradually rack up decent yards. This year with all these touchbacks though, that loophole is closed. Sproles has looked awesome this year though. I like the Sproles play myself, but just my opinion.

With all the talk that got started with Gruden, then Shanny, and then Cowher, and how Ralph was willing to pay 10 mil/season for a caoch, expectations got out of hand quickly. As disappointed as most of us were, we all owe Chan an apology at this point. He's proving to be a damn good coach, and I don't think we'd be sitting here at 3-0 with this kind of offense had we ended up with any of the high priced names out there. Chan was the right coach for this team and a perfect fit with THE AMISH RIFLE.

YE OLE remembers it well. It was an end around to Peerless Price... Bledsoe stepped up and pancaked Jason Ferguson. It was Bledsoe's first game as a Bill, opening day 2002.

It must be, I believe that was the date on the SI Cover with Drayton on it that's floating around.

Butler held together some semblance of what Polian had created and kept the team in the playoffs, but it definitely came at a price. It seemed like pretty suspect timing when half the front office left for SD right before things went off the cliff. The 2001 season had to be tanked to recover from it. We had guys like Raion Hill and Brandon Spoon starting on that defense.

We'll know a lot more I think after the next coupe of weeks to see how they continue to ride this wave of success. If they continue to play the way they're playing right now, however, most of these games look very winnable. I would've said the SD game would be tough, and I do think it will be, however, they just got taken to the wire by the Chiefs at home. I have to question that a little bit as banged up and bad as KC has been. The Giants game looks tough at this point, but I could flip that either way.

Nobody wants to accept that the BIG BAD BILLS might be back, gents! Buy hey, ESPN still ranked us behind KC after clubbing them week 1... I would expect no different this week: "Well ok you won the game, but the Pats are clearly the better team"

That picture is THE WHIP... YE OLE may have to purchase the cover and get it framed.
