  1. You picked a "Lame Duck Colts" game to inspire us with confidence in Fitz?!

     

    Fitz will probably move the chains a bit more, but make other mistakes that will keep these Bills out of the endzone. He might get the Bills a field goal more, every other game (1.5 points per game), than Edwards, but throw an extra interception that leads to a touchdown or something like that. He blows.

    \

    Same end results really. A low-scoring offense, and losses.

    Not really, I just picked the footage that was out there on a YouTube search. You're right that it wasn't full strength Colts team (and it was also, you know, last year), but it does show that with some time Fitz can hit some throws. He'll at least take the shot.

     

    Again, I don't know what will happen but (IMO) if we can hit just a *few* passes (or at least throw the ball down field) we should be able to open up our run game a bit. I'm hoping that Fitz can do that - seriously, it has to be hard for us to get worse on O!

  2. It is simply the right decision here. Trent had a chance. He has the tools, he edged out Fitz in camp, but all along Chan said that was the order they were in at that point, and it could change, and never "Trent is our guy, he is our starting QB, chips fall where they may". Trent was the slightly better performer out of three so-so QBs in camp, and Chan chose the best option at that time. The hope being that Trent could continue to put it together and perform once the season started.

     

    Trent fell flat on his face, not just with overall results, but with decisions and actions on individual plays. Chan doesn't need to give him six weeks to realize that it isn't working, and a fourth year QB who barely won the competition has a short leash. I'm happy for the spark and change because the first two weeks were pretty embarassing.

     

    I am disappointed that it isn't Brohm who at least has the mystery potential to be a good NFL QB that we could hope for, while I think we know Fitz's upside limits. Brohm will get his chance, and hopefully he takes better advantage of it than Trent did his. But for now, go Fitz!

     

    I also do wonder if it might have been a better bet to try to hide things and have the surprise advantage against the Pats, but probably in this age of Twitter it would have been too hard and made it more difficult for the two QBs during practice.

     

    Well said Koufax - couldn't put it any better.

     

    It's pretty clear when you're throwing for less than 5 yards per attempt and you only have 178 yards in Passing Offense, something needs to change!

     

    FWIW, below are highlights of the last game of last season, Fitz at least looks willing to stand in there and throw. Here's to hoping he can do *something*, if he's worse than Trent we're REALLY screwed!

  3. If nothing else it'll be interesting to see how the O functions with a new QB under center.

     

    I've supported Trent (in fact I support all the QBs on the team, I wish they were all future HOFers), but man, the last two games were tough to watch. If Fitz can make a *few* throws to keep the D honest, hopefully we can get the run game going which is our real hope to win games...

     

    It pretty funny, I rolled to Vegas yesterday and wore a Bills shirt all day. I got stopped by at least a dozen fans that all said the same thing - this team is brutal to watch.

     

    On Sunday (maybe) we'll get some more insight into the real issue - is it the QB, the line, or the WR's never getting open.

     

    Ok, off for another $100 Coors Light - my gambling game is like the Bills offensive game and that ain't good my friends... :D

  4. Could they be the visiting teams returned tickets? Good job on getting a great price, timing is everything.

    It still seems crazy to me - the other tix in that section were $250. Okaaaaay...

     

    I'm already to the point of not being able to sleep at night, I can only imagine Sat night! :D

  5. 'Stache For Life Baby!

     

    Does mine count - it's attached to a beard?

     

     

    I should add, I can't wait to see the entire city of Buffalo sporting 'Staches when the Bills are leading the AFCE late in the season!!

  6. Holy crap @ that guy standing on the edge of the falls!

     

    Since no one thinks we can build the stadium in NF, NY I have a NEW idea - we'll build the *ultimate* Rainbow Bridge, complete with a stadium in the middle. Half US, half Canada, all suspended awesomness.

     

    Let's get the US Army Corps of Engineers and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on this STAT!

     

     

    I do love that Bills fans are so passionate that we argue over hypothetical stadiums. Let's Freaking Go Buffalo!!

  7. Can wear: Anything Red White and Blue

     

    Cannot wear: Anything Teal, Orange and White (why one would *want* to wear those colors in the first place is a whole different question...)

     

     

    For the record, I'll be in the classic #34!

  8. Tackle Jake Long returns to Miami Dolphins practice on limited basis

     

    By The Associated Press (CP) – 3 hours ago

     

    DAVIE, Fla. — Miami Dolphins Pro Bowl tackle Jake Long is back at practice on a limited basis.

     

    Long, nursing a left knee injury, was involved in some of Wednesday's workout. Linebacker Channing Crowder, who has been sidelined since Aug. 17 because of a groin injury, jogged on the side.

     

    The Dolphins open the season Sunday at Buffalo.

     

    I'm sure both will play, but let's hope neither will be 100%. I read somewhere that Incognito said Long will pay for sure and that he's a tough bastard...

     

    Guess we'll know in a couple days!

     

    Crowder is going to need to do more than jog to catch CJ!!

  9. So this is strange, I googled "NY Jets Ticket Prices" and clicked news only to see the first story:

     

    Buffalo Bills face weak secondary ticket sales, possible 0-16 season

     

    http://www.ticketnews.com/news/Buffalo-Bills-are-staring-at-weak-secondary-ticket-sales-and-losing-season091008740

     

     

     

    Unfreaking real - the Jets don't sell out their *regular* seats and we get dissed because of the secondary market!?

     

    And as someone who bought tickets last night I can assure them that tickets on the secondary market are more like $100+ (though I got lucky and found some for $80 - 50 yard line, lower bowl, 26 rows up, Dolphins side; pure luck baby!).

     

    Man oh man, I hope that Spiller and company run all over the Dolphins; lots of CJ + a Bills win = some measure of respect. Theoretically.
