  1. Bob Kravitz is a long-time sports writer from Indianapolis.   Here's part of an article he wrote following the Bills-Colts game on Sunday:

    ....  On a completely different subject, let me offer my praise to all those hearty (and slightly crazy) Bills fans, who filled the lower bowl of New Era Field and partially filled the upper deck, where you couldn’t possibly see anything due to the white out. We live in a city where the fans complain about being too hot or too cold when they open the roof on a 60-degree day. Buffalo fans are hardcore, and their showing was made all the more extraordinary by the fact the Bills haven’t been to the playoffs in nearly two decades.

  2. The last 2 weeks I've been unable to watch the game. 2 weeks ago I was in STX and without a tv. This past Sunday, I was driving a Uhaul to Chicago. And not only did we win, but we won convincingly.

    .... Although, I have streamed the WGR broadcast both weeks.. So I'm not completely tuned out.

     

    Dan,

     

    Just curious about what you mean by "streaming" the WGR broadcast. I've tried to listen to the games from the WGR website since the season opener ... but it's never worked, and I just assumed that was part of the "black out" (NFL wants us to pay for listening, like Sirius or something). It worked in the preseason just fine, but not the regular season ... at least for me.

     

    Are you getting the radio feed some other way other than the WGR website? If you are successfully listening from the website, maybe I just need to update my Internet browser ....

     

    I've not heard ANY of the first 4 games (have had to settle for Game Center on NFL.COM ... which pretty much sucks, but fan's gotta do what a fan's gotta do) ... but since they lost the first 2, I don't think a change in my gameday habits will make a difference in the outcome .... ;-)

     

    GO BILLS!

  3. Just listened to some of Bowles' press conferences - sounds like he's trying to take a page out of Belicheat's book when it comes to pressers. He looks/sounds extremely uncomfortable with, and irritated/annoyed by, the press. He was asked multiple times about what happened to their pass coverage against the Bengals, and just kept repeating "I don't have time to talk about the last game, I'm moving on to Buffalo. If you don't have any questions about the Buffalo game, this is going to be a short press conference".

  4. let's wait and see what they say about Powell before we get too crazy. i think AJ Tarpley can fill in for a few weeks. but if Powell is out for the season then maybe they try and get another vet like Spikes

    also, how about Steward the 6th round pick? how has he looked?

     

    I think any team that signs Spikes at this point would have to assume that he'll be suspended for some number of games at the beginning of the season because of this incident:
