Anybody still there - suffering to the end?

A rare chance with all day and a dump off.
Throw it to a WR anyways you !@#$nut.
to a well covered guy about to get tackled, and short of the first. Brilliant

LOL DID ANYBODY JUST HERE THAT IF YOUR WATCHING THE STREAM
Yeah, getting some heartfelt commentary now! Hilarious!! better than the game...

While our new Oline is holding up fairly well to the pass (given their newness), they've been doing a pretty good job at run blocking, probably better than we've had for awhile. Freddy's been taking advantage of it, I'm looking forward to seeing what Lynch can do. This could be an awesome 1-2 punch (and lord knows we need it)!

When Dick is axed, that play will serve as his obituary.
Nah, sad to say, it'll be due to something much worse than that play...

Over the past 5 years the Bills have had many stretches where they lead fans to believe that they are on the right path, however, they never really improve. Every year they do just enough to keep fans hanging on, all the while remaining mediocre at best.
Just look at '04 season where they finished the season 9-7, just missing the playoffs after the season ending loss to Pittsburgh. Everyone thought that next year was the year, and that after ripping off 10 wins in 12 games, the Bills had too much momentum to miss the playoffs in '05. After all, if the Bills could of caught a break against the Jags in the season opener they would have made the playoffs. However, the Bills then go 5-11 in '05 and all hope is lost.
That is until the Bills bring in Dick Jauron in 06', and the Bills finish 7-9. There's hope!! The Bills go 5-4 down the stretch...losing to Indy by 1, to the Chargers by 3, and to the Titans by 1. All Buffalo Bills fans are optimistic heading into '07....after all, if they only got a couple of breaks they could have made the playoffs. Hell they competed with the best in Indy and almost handed them their first loss...too bad we didnt catch any breaks in that game.
Then in '07 Losman starts the season off shaky and the fans start losing hope....until golden boy Trent Edwards comes in finishes the season 5-4 as the starter. The optimism lost due to the dismal start of the season is regained.... "if only Trent was the starter the whole season the Bills could have made a playoff run". And dont forget...the Bills competed with the "best" at the time, losing a heartbreaker to the Cowboys...too bad they couldnt catch a break in that game either.
In '08 the Bills finally start the season off hot...winning their first 4 games. But just like always, the Bills lose a heartbreaker to the Browns...if only they caught a couple of breaks. Not only do they lose to the Browns in a heartbreaker, but Trent Edwards gets hurt and J.P Losman leads the Bills to a couple of losses. Bills fans everywhere believe that if only Trent was playing during those games (i.e; Jets game), the Bills could have made a playoff run.
Sorry for the rant...and I do agree that the Bills seem as if they are on the right track...with our o-line, backs, and young d. But the past says a lot and it seems as if there are 3 constants with the Bills....1.) They always add/lose an equal amount of talent each year...they never improve their overall roster over the offseason. 2.) They have at least one heartbreaking loss a year. 3.) They never improve over the course of the year...they are the most sporadic team in the NFL. They are never consistently terrible or amazing...just average.
Finally the Over/Under for people who will read this entire post is set at 2.
That's a really good summary of the last four years. You get to the point where you feel torn as a Bills fan. You don't want to give up on them, as you want to think of yourself as a loyal fan, and they always seem to be just a little (potentially achieavable) bit short of where they need to be to step up to the playoff contender level. At the same time, part of you feels short changed, like maybe you've been playing the sucker. It seems being a Bills fan means you stay conflicted (afflicted might be a better word).

Let's see 4th and 1 with 8 miunutes something to go, in your side of the field, don't go for it. You see we wanted to reserve that gutsy call for a little later, when we were further in the hole. Then we could get the chance to really show how good we are when we go for it on 4th and 23. Pathetic...

At this point, it is looking like our D is going to have to score. They deserve one!

Maybe my fellow Saints fans on here may disagree, but I think a lot of smack is coming from "new" fans, those that started following the Saints from the past few years on. I've been a fan since the '70s and have been through some seriously rough times, including being ridiculed by other fans when I was in the Navy. So as excited as I am about our start, I'm still hesitant to declare us the NFC champs. I'll wait and see where we are later in the season before I start talking smack.
That's a good strategy. At 5-1 last year a lot of us Bills fans got overly excited (self included). Short story - it's a long season and a lot can happen.

I'm hoping that the Bills are actually as good as they appeared to be in the game against NE (the first 54 minutes anyway).
But...
there's a gnawing concern that maybe NE is nowhere near as good as they used to be, especially defensively. Let's face it they lost a heck of a lot of talent on defense. Also,Brady was really off the first half, and once he started getting in his groove in the 4th quarter we didn't seem to have the answer. As a result of all that, I can't use the first game as much of a barometer, it's going to take quite a few more games.
I'll stay hopeful, but for some reason, I have a hard time shaking the feeling that things aren't quite as good as they seemed. I don't know why, maybe there's just too much of a history of disappointment..

While I'm sure there may be many (including TO) who think he needs to be a bigger part of the offense, the question I pose is this:
Assuming TO continues to draw double coverage, which inherently means one less defender ready to stuff the run or cover someone else, is that enough? Personally, I think if it helps open up the running game and the passing game for other targets, it means our offense goes from mediocre to pretty good. And that's not counting the plus factor when he does catch some balls. Thoughts?
-
I didn't even allow myself to get my hopes up til we went up by 11 more than halfway through the 4th. Then it happened, I started to believe we could actually do it. By opening up that hope, I opened the damn door again to the pain. Sure as scht, there it was, that heartwrenching oh no, not again, how is this possible pain.
The weird thing is, I've felt it so many times before (38 years a Buffalo fan), it's almost like an old accustomed feeling. Not one I like by any means, but one I've grown so used to that now I just let it come in and roam around and do it's thing. Starts with disbelief, switches to anger, turn into a little disgust, a little "woe is me" self pity combined with "why do I put myself through this", and then I kind of just let it go. My only consolation is that now it doesn't stick with me as long.

Poz has a broken bone in his arm, no info on how long he'll be out.
Well that's certainly adding injury to insult
-
Story of a Bills fans life - heartbreaking loss. But heh, don't feel bad it was a great game...
-
They scored too fast!
-
WOW! Before the game I was saying I was never feeling as low about our chances. It ain't over yet, but we might just beat New England IN NEW ENGLAND!!!!! Please hold on!!!!!!!!!
-
It kinda sucks that about the most we can hope for out of the Bills this year is that they beat the point spread.

Its hard to disagree with that, but with TO in the game and a different game plan (or a game plan at all) I think TE probably fairs a little better, even against the Superbowl champs. I hope so anyway because we will be finding out shortly and it probably isn't getting any easier.
My concern is twofold:
1) For the offense to be successful with TO, Trent will need to develop confidence in throwing the long ball. He shows very little of that confidence/ability yet, way too many check-down, dump off passes.
2) If above does not work, just how cool do you think TO is going to be with adapting by running short routes across the middle - where he is likely to take beatings?
-
The deer in the headlights look - I've seen it before. Was it the Browns last year in a night game? It was painful to watch, so incredibly tentative/afraid, I felt sorry for him, but more sorry for the fans who had high expectations that night.
Is he toast?

Some say he's been sniffing around, but I think this dog's had his day.

Exactly.
If I go into Walmart to purchase a bucket and the only one that's on the shelf is full of feces then it's the best left.
Thanks for that - I needed a laugh

great point...keeping him would be good and the o line is very important, especially in nov/dec. BUt is he worth 11 mil? Im not sure about that.
It's thinking like that has prevented us from having a solid O'line since the early 90's. We can never believe anyone is worth THAT much, so we keep paying less than great salaries, and getting less than great results. At a certain point you've got to make some gambles.

They had the President of VH1 on the Shredd & Ragan Show Podcast. He is from Buffalo, & is a HUGE Bills fan. The TO show will go on
If that's so I guess all those wondering what TO's like off the field and whether he's a big partier or not will get their answers (and then some).
Dat-dat-datta-datta-dat-dat-datta... come on into the big tent ladies and gentlemen, the circus is about to begin!
Can the Bills prevent another 0-6 year vs afc east??

I think we are in for another "O-fer". Then at the end of the year Jauron will be fired, and we'll be right back where we were after firing Wade Phillips, Gregg Williams, and Mike Mularkey. Hoping the next coach is the one to bring us back to respectability. Groundhog day!
