This is true, although I'll remove the word "convincingly". Style points don't matter. Just win the game....and win for once in Toronto for godssake. Washington will not lay down and they have a pretty solid D. Newton shredded them with some nifty running. If the Bills give up 400+ yds on D to Beck & Co. they should be embarrassed.

As long as the Bills don't completely flame out they will be on a couple prime time games next year,,, (that is unless the Bills petition against a night home game, then they might get 1 road). The NFL wants compelling, exciting matchups obviously. This year they could've scheduled Buffal/Cincinnati and it would have been a great matchup...last year that game looked unattractive. It's such a year to year thing. Bills, Detroit and San Fran will be on the national scene in 2012.

I was thinking this last night. When you have a player like Manning, you have to pay some bucks to have something reasonable behind him. For several years they had Sorgi, who was a decent fill in, but the last few years they have had just crap holding the clipboard.

I agree. Bills fans who think this won't be a tough game are dreaming. This will be a dogfight. Any NFL team coming off a whooping like the Skins took in Carolina will come out fighting. Their D-line is pretty good and Landry is a beast. I don't care how many injuries these guys have, everyone has injuries. Teams coming off bye weeks are 3-9 so far this year.

Skins will get chewed out for a week before the Bills game. They will give the Bills trouble, count on it. Po'd that this game is in Toronto

They already have luxury boxes and club seating so put a friggin retractable roof on that thing and use it all year round. (and no, bad weather has done nothing to help the Bills or give them an advantage over tha past decade). I suspect a retractable roof addition would be more than $100M though.

We really need to win this d@mn division to ensure a playoff spot. Definitely rooting for anyone playing Oak, SD, Cinci, Tenn, Pitt, Hous...unless of course it's a head to head game.

I hope Merriman gets back on the field. For whatever reason his presence brings something to the huddle and Lockerroom that makes this team feel like (and play like) winners. He may not be dominant on the field anymore, but I do think his absence at the Meadowlands hurt the Bills.

Redskins actually have a solid D. Landry is a beast and the rookie Kerrigan has been a very good pick. I know he's better now but when Beck was with Miami early in his career he played against the Bills at RWS. It still ranks as the single worst performance of any QB i've ever seen at the stadium. I hope we see some of that Beck on Oct. 30th!

Well KC and Indy looked tough in the off-season but now they aren't. The only layups I see on that schedule though are KC, Indy and Miami. NO one else is going to hand anything to NE imo.

I'll tell you what though, Fitz's short and medium range balls are so perfectly placed for YAC yardage. He hits guys in stride. JP and Trent never could do that. They'd always throw to stationary targets unless it was the occasional bomb. That's why their 3rd down conversion % were so awful. Fitz is such a breath of fresh air though. I was hoping this didn't deteriorate into an "arm strength" thread. I will say that watching guys like Rodgers or Brady, even Vick sling the ball downfield on a rope with ease...it's a very noticeable attribute. It's not a requirement to win a Super Bowl though!

I'm just hoping he ends up in the NFC. Can't handle another stud QB in the AFC East and Indy doesn't deserve that good fortune.

Plus he got lucky when Marshall could not grab that "would be" TD pass that was slightly behind him.

Too much was made about Fitz's interceptions being "lack of" arm strength. This is BS. On the 2nd INT he was literally backpedaling and threw off his back foot. He did not set his feet at all. Terrible mechanics and the only national media person I heard point this out was Tony Dungy. It may have been b/c the Giants pass rush was in his head. On his first INT, it was not as blatant but he still did not set his feet and throw. This is stuff that is taught at the high school level. I'm sure FItz and coaches will break down his mechanics over the next 2 weeks. I suspect he will overthrow guys in the 2nd half of the season so to not let this happen again. Hope not but I wouldn't be surprised.

I have a feeling this is finally our year to win in TO. Redskins defense is no joke though.

It was great to see Naaman take that to the house. It also shut the people up who say he has no speed. He's not a burner but he has plenty of football speed to get open and get some good YAC.

I said in the pre game chat yesterday that I had a bad feeling about the Giants game. I really thought the roof was going to cave in for like a 34-13 loss or something like that. I was pleasantly surprised the team fought and made it a totally winnable game. Seems like they have gotten over one hump (being able to win some nailbiters and not getting blown out),,,but winning the close games on the road is the next hump. The O got the ball back at Cinci and yesterday and could not win the game. This is probably not a playoff team until they can win a couple of those type games on the road.

When you break it all down...look at the fortunate turnovers we've gotten, some favorable calls our way, some bad calls, sieve defense, injuries, etc.. The Bills are 4-2 and that's about exactly where they should be. It's a cliche "you are what the record says you are"...but it's true.

Yep, i already conceded the division.

Its NFL football. You're not gonna dominate for 4 Qtrs. You just hope to put up enough points in the Qtrs you do control.

As pointed out by Dungy tonight, Fitz was so gun shy about the Giants pass rush he threw that ball back pedaling and did not set his feet at all. Really bizarre throw by Fitz and when you watch it closely you can see his mechanics are all screwed up. I love Fitz but that throw was all on him. Stevie was open and had separation. Interesting that Manning threw it away last week at the end with a bizarre INT and this week it's Fitz'z turn. BTW- Drew Brees also ended his game with a terrible INT in the Bucs end zone. All great QBs throw some bad picks.

We are gonna be fighting for a wild card berth. Start rooting hard against teams like Cinci, Oak, SD, Pit, Balt, Tenn, and of course NYJ

I actually thought the Giants DB made two nice ints. Underthrown yes, but great picks
