Agree 100%. But if the Bills players were not out partying all week prior to the SB it would have been a blowout Bills victory. The Giants were disciplined and met curfew so they were fully prepared for that game. I've always felt that the Bills coaching staff incorrectly gets the blame for not coaching well enough to win SB 25. That's not the case. The team was full of egotistical out of control maniacs. The Bills were out burning their energy in the Tampa bars while the Giants were resting in their hotel beds.

+1 And no, the Bills were NOT outcoached. Additionally, the Bills players were partying all week prior to the game. The Giants players weren't.

QB + QB + QB + QB = 1B

Interesting read. From your link " From Syracuse, N.Y., in the east to Milwaukee in the west, 34 million Americans are revolutionizing the sound of English." Watertown, NY has no distinguishable accent from what I experience when I travel there.

Utica's kind of 50/50 or where the inland northern accent begins. It's prettty heavy down in Binghamton. From your wiki link: The Inland North dialect of American English is spoken in a region that includes most of the cities along the Erie Canal and on the U.S. side of Great Lakes region, reaching approximately from Herkimer, New York to Green Bay, Wisconsin, as well as a corridor extending down across central Illinois from Chicago to St. Louis. The Inland North consists of western and central New York State (Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, Binghamton, Jamestown, Olean); northern Ohio (Akron, Cleveland, Toledo); Michigan's Lower Peninsula (Detroit, Flint, Grand Rapids, Lansing); northern Indiana (Gary, South Bend); northern Illinois (Chicago, Rockford); and southeastern Wisconsin (Kenosha, Racine, Milwaukee). This is the dialect spoken in America's chief industrial region, an area sometimes known as the Rust Belt.

Buffalo does have a midwestern accent. Speech specialists call it the inland northern accent. We have it here in Syracuse, too - it begins in central New York and goes out to Chicago.

13 going on 14 pages of posts, most negative, is all you need to know.

13 pages of posts on this topic. If we had a decent starting QB this topic would have produced only one page of posts. The PANIC here isn't about the Bills backup QBs. It's about ALL of the QBs on this team and how none of them are any good!

BOY TRAPPED IN REFRIGERATOR EATS OWN FOOT

And for what it's worth, the most sensible, smart, astute, REALISTIC Buffalo Bills fans live right here in Syracuse, New York. Seriously!!

When I first saw this thread I thought "What, the Bills have announced they're going to have a football game at the Carrier Dome?" And i wondered if it was a pre-season game or a regular season game. Something that I've been wanting for like 10 YEARS!!! My heart was PUMPING! Oh, last night's television broadcast - now I get it.

If any of that is true then yes, we do have a problem. However, QB Ryan Fitzpatrick won't be scaring opposing defenses anyhow.

East - LOL! And no, not only are there no open jobs where I work but the staffing level around me is shrinking!

We went 3-0 last September starting with a 41-7 blowout of the KC Chiefs at KC!! The same thing happening this September is NOT out of the question. After that, though.....

My company tracks the sales of specialty items. Don't expect to see anything Buffalo related in stores west of Utica or south of Binghamton. On the other hand, SU Orange merchandise sells well everywhere - but only if the main color of the merchandise is orange, not blue!

I normally don't watch preseason games. But I made the mistake of watching the last preseason game. Preseason football is schizophrenic for fans to watch. Anyhow, the Bills looked like crap in preseason 2011 and week one we blew out KC 41-7 at KC and did NOT lose a game until October.

You type a hateful profanity laced post and you say that OTHERS "take it much too far.?

1-10 Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Obama ate dog as a child but he fondly recalled that memory as an adult when he wrote his book. Does Obama still eat dogs? This is a valid question. Indonesians can eat dogs, but we Americans pet our dogs - we don't eat them!

Anyone......?

Well, I didn't go to the Bills-Vikes game last night but I did watch it on television. And I was shocked to see how unprepared this team is for the reguarl season. But I watched the game with some friends who attended several training camp sessions and their assessment was that since we have such a solid-prepared defense, coach Chan Gailey already knows what the offense is going to do on opening day. Ryan Fitzpatrick and the offense has been practicing against this defense for weeks. They felt that to the 2012 Bills these preseason games are nothing more than another practice session and that Gailey DOESN'T have his players playing 100% in these scrimmages. Hope they're right!!

Fly In The Ointment: QB Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Where do you live? I live in Syracuse which I consider to be THE best place for football. We have SU Orange on Saturdays and the Buffalo Bills on Sundays. So, I watch the Bills games in my house with a lot of other Bills fans who were there the day before watching the SU Orange football games. Rochester comes in a close second to Syracuse because there's a lot of SU football fans there and it's closer to Orchard Park for the Bills. Buffalo comes in third because, as far as I know, there's not a lot of SU Orange football fans there, but Orchard Park is right there to see Bills games!

Mike - Which channel is the game on here in Syracuse? I might like to switch to it every minute or so while I'm watching the movie Stripes.
