So are you saying that the defense was not a problem at all last year?

I'm sure Lynch is happy. Because all they have in Buffalo is a Dave & Buster's.

It was tedious watching it happen, but the play kept going backwards, so I was never worried.

I've been to several Raiders-Bills games in Oakland, and I've worn my full gear every time. Never had a problem. Every time I went, the Bills have always lost. Leaving the Coliseum and hearing the fans yelling "RAAAIIIIDERRRRRRRS!!!" every time you pass one gets very nerve wracking. I was at the Raiders-Chiefs game last week, and wearing my Bills jacket with a big Bills logo on the back. When the game was over, I got noticed a few times. One couple was asking me why I was there, because I was a week early. I laughed and joked backed with them, it was all good. Then later another couple walks by me, and this young lady was yelling F%@* BUFFALO! I told her if it wasn't for us, you wouldn't exist anymore. Obviously she didn't know what I was talking about. Then she admitted that she has Buffalo's defense on her fantasy league, then she said "F Buffalo!" again. Whatever. I admit this week's game is a grudge match to me. I really want the Bills to win.

Exactly! 4th ranked scoring defense? If that's reality, I can live with it.

You know that the positive attitude towards Lorenzo Alexander has changed on TBD, when he's referred to as Zo and not as The Lorax.

I have to admit, that is hilarious.

Some of the celebrations are a bit silly, and too long, but for the most part they don't bother me. What I get sick of are all the celebrations that are made by players for getting a first down or for simply making a tackle. That is dumb.

Love it!

Nope. There will be no relaxing over this time period. The Raiders feel rejuvenated after beating the Chiefs. The Jets are tougher than a lot of people thought. The Saints have come back to life and are now in the division hunt. The Chargers have won 3 in a row, and if you look at their 4 losses, they weren't getting blown out in every game. The Chiefs, despite back-to-back losses, are still one of the top teams in the league. That doesn't mean that the Bills are in trouble. They have shown that they can play with any team and come out victorious. I'm not saying that the Bills will win all of these games, but they will be very competitive against all of them. I know that McDermott will have them ready.

That play lasted a long time and was getting on my nerves. However, the play kept going backwards, so I wasn't freaked out about it. I think the play was ruled down at the original line of scrimmage.

I think this is a very good possibility. I also think that McDermott will target Star Lotuleilei in free agency.

That's encouraging, but we need to be cautious.

That would be cool.

Definitely, he is very focused. That touchdown he gave up, was that the only time that the Buccaneers targeted White? It sure looked like they were going after Gaines & Johnson all day, then Wright. I just did not see any passes go against White until that touchdown.

What a great way for Thompson to start. Just wait until he starts playing more snaps. We have to get him paired with Matthews.

When the Buccaneers took a 27-20, I was not feeling good, but not giving up. Then Tyrod hits a deep pass to Thompson. A play I did not expect. Although I was worried that the Bills scored too fast. Is it just me or did Tampa Bay even try to stop Shady when he got his second touchdown? Then Tre'Davious White makes that great play giving the Bills the ball back. It was exciting if not nerve wracking, but they got the win. Now keep making more adjustments and get ready for the Raiders.

Which means we need to throw to him more. He played good today.

Finally finished the series. Overall I thought it was very good. So frustrating to see all of these battles that took place that when once secured, the USA would just abandon the area. A lot of insight into the Presidents involved, but it sure felt like there was a lot of intent to trash Nixon. I was shocked at how kind they were to Jane Fonda.

This

Agreed, Carr can get rattled.

The Raiders are 3-4, and beat the Chiefs on two untimed downs. Why should Vegas start buying into them?

Yes. Tony Gonzales, Antonio Gates, Kellen Winslow....

The officials are a joke.

You do realize who is playing this game, right?
