Fan in Chicago

Reality check coming up this weekend. - Ryan Mathews is out so not much sting in their running game though Woodhead has given Bills headaches in the past - Gates, Gates and more Gates. I still have little confidence in the Bills covering TEs. I anticipate playing time for Spikes will be limited and focus will be on limiting Gates - Charger WRs are decent (and big) so hope Graham, Gilmore have big games - I am worried more about their D than their O. If we keep our O unpredictable and balanced, we can keep possession for long. SD kept the ball for 42+ minutes against Seattle. We cannot let that happen and have to sustain drives HF advantage will be needed. Too close to call but being a homer, I will predict a Bills win 27-23

New one - "Don't blame Hackett, blame Marrone! I'd like to see them go for the juggler"

TJ Graham is no longer with this team

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I think yesterday's loss is squarely on Luck. The coaches trusted him enough to make that call and he threw a terrible INT. But I agree with you that a FG would have not been flashy but would have put the Colts up by 10 and likely sealed a victory

Luck giften yesterday's game to the Eagles. Apart from the Trent Richardson fumble, that INT was the single most important play of the game. Luck made a critical mistake yesterday directly leading to their loss.

Packers DL is getting blown off the ball. Jets O are totally controlling the line of scrimmage.

The Bills have arrived

kiss you ?

The Big Cat, Jauronimo - Guys, what on earth are you arguing about ? I just read the last 2-3 pages and frankly don't have a clue what you are mad at each other about. Can't you just kiss shake hands and make up ? We have a bunch of mammals to beat this Sunday. Signed, Self appointed mediator

For the exact opposite logic than that for the Bills. We have sucked and the pats* have excelled for so long that each has to do a lot to reverse biases. Pats* are always seen as being good enough to flip the switch at any time.

I value team building more than drafting prowess on an individual basis. Fact is that despite having elite talent like PManning and the above, his tenure resulted in only one superbowl win. You can argue that Peyton is a playoff choker but that is also the job of the GM to evaluate and build a team that works around such limitations. I concur. No Bill Polian for the Bills.

Quite encouraging. Probably speaks to how weak NE*'s RT is. Skimming through this review also points the finger at Vollmer http://www.patriots.com/news/blog/article-1/Bridgestone-Performance-Review-Patriots-Dolphins-/a156ce79-062c-46a8-a20a-794747a6c05b

That was my thought as well after seeing those stats.

Didn't expect that either. Seeing some reactions of people who have appointed themselves judge, jury and executioner reminded me of the old movie '12 Angry Men'. I am not a lawyer but it appears that the prosecution couldn't provide a convincing enough case in favor of first-degree murder.

I think you watched the comeback DVD one too many times That is true no matter what. I feel better about us stopping the run this year, than I did the last few. Moreno, Wallace, Wake need to be contained.

That can be explained by the super talent we had at T for most of those years.

Which would stand to reason as you have never displayed cannibalistic tendencies Reminds me of a WR we recently let go

Isn't that level lethal? I think BAC > 0.3 can be potentially life threatening. Maybe some Doc on here can set me straight

Not to mention entirely meaningless, unless I am missing some gaming code speak.

Certainly looked blazed to me. Looked a bit beyond simply immaturity.

That is true about JPP's performance dropping off. The general point you are making us that Henderson may not have been tested fully yet. He did get between against the Bears but I am willing to give him some leeway considering it was the rookie's first NFL game. Can you imagine if CyrusK had come up to NFL speed as Henderson has ? Our line would be near elite. EJ and the WRs will be challenged with man coverage. Again, great test for our O. I hope Henderson can handle Wake on his own. Hey, we are talking about hope, right?

Henderson blanked out JPP in the first pre-season game. I know it was 'just' preseason but at least we have some point of reference. I agree with the extra protection and chipping ideas. As the game goes along, see if Henderson can handle Wake without help. Good test for the rook.

That is a good point.

I should have checked the injury report

Always look at matchups and here is my preliminary take on it (have only watched bits of the Dolphins game so going with some stats): Bills on O: + Bills WR > Dolphins secondary +/- EJ looked good so last game but had nice pocket to work from. Not sure how he will do with smaller and collapsing pocket +/- Bills RB vs LB: With our variety at RBs, Bills have the edge but their LBs are very good too. +/- Bills OL vs Dolphins DL: This holds the key to the game. If our tackles hold and Wood controls the line, we will win Dolphins likely will come with man coverage and pressure off the edges. if tackles hold up and we can set up screens/ crossing routes, Bills will do fine. Chandler, Watkins should Bills on D: + Bills DBs vs WRs: Wallace, Hartline are good and will be a handful. After a decent performance against the Bears WRs, I see Bills holding the advantage +/- Moreno vs LBs: Moreno had a good game but Spikes is on fire, we get Bradham back. + Tannehill vs DL and DB: I think Tannehill will see a lot of pressure from the front 4 and their OL isn't suited to hold up against this constant pressure - Bills penalties: have to get these under control. There were some bad calls on Sunday, but going back to last year the inopportune penalties were driving me nuts. Bills have HF advantage also. If Bills can be disciplined and not over-anxious, Bills should have the edge
