It was a tough break if you had Phili at -3.

Well said, good post. But the LT position is not one that we could live with. Maybe this year, but next year? Gandy is a decent player and a good backup. maybe next year he could switch to LG. However, we need to upgrade that position.

You bring up an excellent point. However, next week we'll get big Sam back. That can only help. The question in my mind is, is Aaron Schobel going to continue the type of performance he had against the Chiefs? We were able to get away with Larry Johnson running for over 100 plus yards because our pass rush was solid, led by Schobel. If we can put the pressure on, we'll have a chance.

It's a lot to ask for. JP hasn't won on the road yet. Until he proves that, I don't think the playoffs are in our future.

The part where you said that he's a cocky little bastard is extreme. While one week doesn't determine the whole season, it at least gives us some hope.

It was an UGLY win but we'll take it. The defense played their best game of the season.

Well, it isn't pretty that's for sure. The question today is, who was better at left guard?

I didn't realize that. I just know one time he was late switching over to his guy on a passing play which lead to a sack. I'm not sure if you were talking about that play. It was a bad game for Mike, but remember it was his 1st game at left guard in his career. Maybe he'll come back next week.

A 28 yard field goal with the wind behind you is unacceptable. Maybe the wind was a factor on the second miss, but the first miss could have been costly. Lindell has been good in the past when he's come off of a bad game.

Redskins defnse didn't come through today, and they had their chance. What I don't understand is how you can jump offsides twice on the extra point leading to the two point conversation. Why would you jump offsides?

I was watching the game with my dad and we both laughed when JP threw the first touchdown pass to Evans. I pretty sure Randy said it wasn't a good throw, that he should have thrown it farther out so the receiver wouldn't have had to make such a difficult/concentrated catch. Where else are you supposed to throw the ball, out of bounds?

College guy- Where was that picture taken?

It was shocking. Definitely at a loss for words when that happened. Gotta wonder why they choose to run that play.

Still Lindell missing that field goal is unacceptable. We needed that field goal to give our team a little but of breathing room going into the half. I hope the Bills can come out and hold the Chiefs to nothing on the ground. The max. protect schemes are effective and hopefully will be used the rest of the game.

The only one that disapoints me is Sean Rodgers. I know there were injury concerns about him, but we had several oportunites to get him. Does anyone know if he was picked after Ron Edwards that year?

I hope not, but what has happened in the last 4 years, you could be right. LT or DT seems to be our highest priority.

I saw the game against Carolina, who's having a great season thus far. I thought Buffalo dominated them, but Carolina still found a way to win. It was good to see them come back from 3 goals down to make it interesting at the end.

A few years back in 2000, we signed Ruben Brown to a very high contract as a left guard. I don't think it was nearly as high of a contract as Mike Williams is getting. I would say that to pay him that type of money to play left guard is way to pricey. If he takes a reasonable paycut, one that's good for him and the team, then he'll most likely stay.

Outstanding post. I like what you mentioned about the RB's blocking. I don't think I caught that as much as the rest of our OL play.

That's unfortunate. Preist has been one of the best backs in the league for the last couple of years. Hopefully he'll be alright.

For the most part, Teague has been doing his job out there. Some of the other positions have been questionable. While I agree with your ending statement, I don't think it's the time just yet to put in Preston for him.

We haven't given up on this season just yet. That's fine. After all we are only one game in back of New England and still have one game to go with them at Buffalo.

I went to the game in KC in 2000 with Rob Johnson starting for the Bills. They won that game on a RJ touchdown dive. That was the last time we beat them. I hope we're ready this week and bring our A game.

The question now is, who will take him when he becomes eligible?
