  1. I've watched NFL games at a dozen other stadiums. I love the Bills game day experience but even i can admit, the language and poor behavior are the worst anywhere. I won't even get into what happened to a couple college buddies of mine (back in the 80's) when they wore opposing gear to the stadium (i warned them not to). Yes- there are tons of great people at RWS but a few just go overboard.

    Also, i think people tend to be better behaved in Dome stadiums. It's something about being outside where you feel more liberated to drop F-bombs all over the place...as opposed to being in a warm, comfy, kind of quiet indoor stadium.

  2. I hate the Jets as much as anyone, but gotta give them some credit. They came out arrogant and NASTY today on our field. I hope someday soon the Bills can play with that tenacity where they KNOW they're gonna win and dominate physically. We have one more game at NY in a couple weeks. Hope to see a better prepared team to play nasty like the Jets.

     

    On another note, watching the Jets DB's is like watching another league. Why are the Bills DB's so incredibly passive? The Jets hand check you and are in your face the whole game. No wonder the refs never flag them for PI....they are so used to seeing them play that style. When a Bills DB so much as grazes his fingers against a JETs receiver they throw a PI flag....mainly b/c they don't expect a Bills DB to be anywhere close and if they are, it's illegal.

  3. Fitz and Fred were very productive behind arguably the "worst" O-lines the season and a half before this year. When Trent and Lynch were back there they were getting like 2.2 yds per play or something awful. I remember we had a slew of games where the Bills total net yards were in the 150-200 yd range for the entire game!

    Let's just agree that the O-line is much better now and the QB/RB combo are excellent as well.

  4. That's crazy logic. You'd rather compete with Pitt & Baltimore for a playoff spot than Cincy and Pitt or Baltimore?

     

    You people should be wishing for Cincy to win out.

     

    I've conceded that division to Pitt or Balt. Ideally whoever is poised to win that division I want them to win out. I just don't want to compete w/ Cinci for a wild card since they beat us head to head. Let's just have the Bills win the AFC East and forget about all the other scenarios!

  5. Actually, i hardly hear much praise of Dalton...especially when you compare it to Cam Newton. Dalton is a good story...but i do hope Cinci gets it handed to them when they play Pitt and/or Balt. I just don't need Cinci competing with us for a playoff spot.

  6. I said it all last week that Beck was the worst QB I've ever seen in that MIami game a few years ago. He's better now but still not even close to being a quality, Starting NFL QB. Kyle Shanahan coveted Beck coming out of BYU and when he had a chance to get him off the Ravens scrap heap last year they got him. Kyle convinced his dad to give him a shot. Well, i'd rather have Grossman. He may throw for 2 or 3 int's but he'll get you 2 or 3 TD's as well. Beck is a nice guy, but just doesn't have the NFL smarts and vision to be a quality QB.

  7. Obviously Revis is very good but I think the refs buy in to the media hype on him. Clearly they know it's Revis and not some unheralded DB because they allow him plenty of leeway on hand fighting and his physical style. Most DB's get a flag if they are even in the vicinity of the WR a split second early...Revis gets the benefit of the doubt imo.

  8. It seems like this year more than i can remember, certain officiating crews are calling things differently than others. Last night in the SD/KC game, there were two offensive pass interference calls on SD. I thought both were questionable (hand fighting) and one took away a SD TD and killed a drive. Huge calls. Seems like the guy making those calls was influenced by the KC players reaction and the crowd.

    I was at the Baltimore/Ariz game Sunday. On two separate occasions Ravens players were flagged for "Taunting" on plays where i honestly see the same thing 10 times in every game. Ray Rice got up and was excited about making a 1st down, and BAM, flag. Strange. The other one was also innocent looking. In that same game the refs were flag happy on any Pass interference where the DB makes a great play and barely has a hand grazing the WRs back on a reach around (knocking the ball down). IMO, they were way too quick to call PI in that game.

    My question...do coaching staffs scout these crews to let the team know what to possibly expect?

  9. I'm really tired of Jets fans acting like they are entitled to beating us or winning the division. I'm sure they have the Bills full attention with those 2 beatdowns last season. Chan won't forget that...or how the Jets were yucking it up on the sidelines, both games. I love the Bills this week.
