I'm sorry, but you're delusional if you believe that. I saw the entire Jet/Dolphin game and the Jets looked very good on both offense and on run defense. This is a MUCH different and MUCH improved team than last year. Favre was very good and it was just his first game as a Jet. They were playing against a QB that was highly motivated in former starting Jet QB, Chad Pennington. Which would explain the Dolphins' decent throwing numbers. The only reason it was close was because the Jets lost their only kicker due to injury and the coaching staff was afraid to throw it on 3rd and 5 in the fourth quarter where a first down would have ended the game. Did you even watch the game? You can make believe that the Jets still stink, but you'll soon see that they're the Bills biggest threat this season.

So he has the Matt Cassel led Pats beating the Brett Favre led Jets by 14 points? Wow, what a moron. The Jets are going to kill the Pats this weekend.

Pride? No. Vengeance? Yes. The Pats cheated against the Bills. Their players were on HGH. They've been the beneficiaries of the most ridiculous favorable calls from refs. They took out our starting QB in the most dirtiest hit from last year. They clearly ran up the score on our team in their second meeting last year. I hope the Bills show no mercy on the Patriots when they face them. Run up the score? No. But no mercy in all other matters on the field.

I see a team-wide confidence. They've gone from thinking and believing that they can do it, to KNOWING that they can do it. It looks like they feel that it's finally their time to step into the spotlight. No doubt, they're going to beat the Jags.

Yet the shills on TV still feel like the Pats will get 10 to 12 wins this year. Watch them ALL try to do the backpedal and say that of course they knew that the Pats season was finished because of the Brady injury after the Jets thorough and complete dismantling of them this weekend.

So you're saying that there's a large number of Bills fans who both don't have the NFL Sunday ticket and don't go to a sports bar (ends up being much more costly than the dish) for three hours? They never get to watch the Bills unless they're playing the Pats or Jets? Wow, that sucks if it's true.

Television programers have about as much vision as corporate radio programers. They're stupid times ten. If they looked at the Bills schedule they would see that a Bills win against the Jags would mean ratings gold down the road. They have two Bills/Jets games later in the season! Why wouldn't you start the ball rolling and show one of the NFL's best up and coming teams who are right in their own back yard???? This decision is so mind-numbingly corporate it's ridiculous. How do these people keep their jobs? In the long run it won't matter to Bills fans there because that station will be showing the Brett Favre Jets throughout this season. My tip is to go out and get Direct TV, I've never regretted it.

If only a "talking head" on NFL network or ESPN could man up and say that. What a bunch of windbag-filled wimps. Berman was closest when he suggested that this could be one of those years when everything flips and teams like Buffalo, Jets and Ravens take over. As far as I know, no one was saying that the Pats are finished, which is in fact what they are without Tom Brady. To think these guys have a two hour pre game show on Sundays, for what exactly? To watch them straddle the fence so as not to upset anyone?

I watched a lot of coverage on Monday and I didn't see one guy on NFL network or ESPN say that the Pats are done with Brady gone. Please let me know which guys have said it, I'd love to know who in the NFL media has the guts to dare question the "almighty" Patriots.

The respect being shown the Pats after losing Tom Brady is just too funny. That team is going to do a nose dive and absolutely no one in the media has the guts to say it. It's like they're afraid of making Bill Belichick mad. The Pats demise begins this Sunday when the Jets unload a world of hurt on them. The NFL media has as much cred as MSNBC.

That was a ballzy call. But if it had not worked, I think that Bills fans would have at least been able to see that up until that point the Bills offensive game plan was intent on keeping the Seahawks defense off balance and that was an example of that intent. As for having a stout defense, wouldn't that lend itself to a coach's tendency to leaning towards a more conservative offense? My whole thing is that the conservative approach is a losing approach and I'm glad that the Bills have left those stink bomb conservative predictable game plans of '07 in the dust. There's no reason for the Bills to play conservative again unless they're up by three touchdowns.

Make no mistake, this Jags game is HUGE! This will be the last game before the Oct 19th Charger/Bills game where the Bills will actually be have an opportunity to make a REAL statement. The games in between, the Bills will no doubt be favored to win. But the Bills beating the Jags in their home would send shock waves throughout the league that the Bills are in fact for REAL. I think the Bills have a good shot at it because this team looks very confident and they're facing a team that's not so sure of themselves. I'll take this confident Bills bunch over the desperate Jags. I don't care that it's being played in Jacksonville. We're good, I think we're better than them, I think we'll beat them!

Very refreshing! I saw it in that pre-season Pittsburgh game and was so pleased to see them take the new approach into a game that counted. Throwing the ball to Lynch, throwing the ball on 1st and 2nd downs, throwing the ball into the endzone, trying to score points at the end of a half, all the while keeping a steading diet of running the ball. Like I said, Coughlin turned over a new leaf last year and it looks as if Jauron has done the same. I like this new "crazy" Dick Jauron!

That smug cheating coach just did his normal smirk jobbed filled press conference acting as if this Tom Brady being out for the entire season thing is a a mere blip on his genius radar. It was as if he were saying, "Why are you guys making this such a big deal?" BOY OH BOY, I can not wait to watch the humiliation of the Patriots this year. I want the Bills to beat them 49-0 with Edwards taking the last snap, at the Pats one yard line, taking a knee and then handing Belidick the game ball.

Watch at how the other NFL team's who are on their schedule handle those cheatin, look at us, pompus to the max, Patriots this season. You watch how the Jets tear them apart limb from limb next week. This is going to be a absolutely wonderfully frightful season for the Patriots when ALL of their karma bills come due. Matt Cassel? Yeah right. Madden can cry all he wants, these NFL teams (especially those like us who the scores were run up on) can't wait to knock their blocks off for 15 more games. I'll seriously be surprised if they win more than six games. Their coach is going to look awfully dumb and their players awfully average now, wait and see. It's us against the Jets for the AFC East division.

Hold on now, Dick Jauron DESERVED the criticisms. As you can see, the fans who were demanding a wide open, creative and unpredictable offense all throughout that death march of a '07 season were right! For whatever reason DJ failed and/or refused to adjust to what was clearly NOT working from the very beginning of last season. Obviously he headed the call for a change. He knew deep down that he was a goner if he did not change his ultra conservative and predictable play not to lose ways. I commend him on this much improved coaching style! Major props to Dick Jauron! Just like Tom Coughlin headed the call for a change, it looks like Dick Jauron was man enough to do it also. This is a BIG development Bills fans. Look what that change did for the Giants fortunes.

That was a jaw dropping performance... My first props goes to Jauron, the head coach finally gets it! Attack, attack, attack! I saw a lot of passing and mixing up of plays on offense. LOVED IT! Pulling out the fake punt was freaking brilliant! They kept Seattle guessing the whole game and THAT is what was sorely missing in '07. Could be us and the Jets fighting it out for the AFC East crown. Amazing how much can happen in one Sunday. ...as you said, GO BILLS!!!!

I bought into Trent after watching the pre-season Pittsburgh game. I'm on board. I see touchdowns to Evans and Royal and a running TD for Lynch. I got it 24-13. We're all happy (and anxious) Bills fans right now!

Boy oh boy do I wish, hope and pray that Jackson isn't pulling our chains with this quote... "I think we’re going to be able to put up more points. It’s more of an attacking-type offense. So that’s the plan. We want to put up more points.” http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/billsnfl/story/432861.html That's it, I'm officially jazzed!

THAT'S PLAYING NOT TO LOSE! If this is the game plan then I hope one of the fans jumps out of the stands, chokes Jauron into unconsciousness so that Turk is forced to call the shots. My television will be hit by a heavy object if this is the game plan I see tomorrow. I don't want to hear about managing, field position or holding EVER AGAIN! I'll give Jauron the benefit of the doubt and see the Bills winning 24-13, with a wide open offense bent on scoring touchdowns. I swear, I'm unloading here if I see that loser '07 conservative game plan and they end up losing in the last seconds again.

I gave you two SPECIFIC scenarios for each, you jackass. Where you dropped on your head as a baby?

I feel like this first game will tell us a lot about what course the Bills will be charting for the 2008 season. I either see a game where the Bills beat up and roll over the Seahawks, or a game where the Bills lose a close nail-biter. This team now has large stable of young talented players who are also young veterans who should indeed be ready to take that next step into the "real playoff contender" roll. This is how I see it... 1. If they decide to go conservative, it will cost them the game because these young players have been too programed, for too long, in losing close games against good NFL teams. 2. If they decide to trust in their players, give them full control in executing a wide-open, attacking gameplan, I think they will win this game by double digits.

Nice smear job. For you and the others how foolishly downplay Lee Evans' importance to this team, the touchdown totals for the following player's first four years in the league were... A. Reed 22 Moulds 18 Irvin 20 Holt 23 Owens 30 Harrison 33 Evans 29 Was this not good enough of a job for you? Think he was dogging it last year? If you can't see Lee's exceptional ability after four years here then that's on you. BTW, he had 9 touchdowns as a rookie. Unbelievable.

Nate Clements Part II. So which WR will we be picking in the first round of the '09 draft? I'm not pleased at all that the Bills haven't got a deal done with Evans. It'd be nice if we knew our star players were going to be here for the long haul or if this is just going to be a perpetually young, scrappy and untested team with 90 percent of their roster playing under their "cheap" rookie contracts. Fans here like to scream about continuity, how about some continuity on the roster. Someone send a crowbar over to Ralph's house, he clearly needs some help opening his wallet.

Oh yes, because NFL teams are so freaking loyal and righteous. Especially when they wait until it's the week before the first game of the season and all 31 other NFL teams have established their cap dollars so that with heavy leverage they can then tell one of their all-time great veteran players to take a pay cut or get released... http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2008/08/30/bengals...illie-anderson/ Let's get real here, both the player and the teams are looking out for number one.
