AD, Prioleaux (sic?) was standing over him and I heard him scream, "You dont do that man!" It was so loud the TV mikes picked it up.
It was fantastic.

Good defense, great special teams, and an offense that doesn't make mistakes is a recipe for good things.
A caveot: At some point, the offense is going to have to make plays as the competition gets tougher - the other good teams won't be as inclined to turn it over. That's taking away nothing from what they've done so far. Drew's transition into a solid game manager has been nothing short of astounding.
Thanks again. Wrt the special teams, they truly are great, and not just the returners and Moorman.
The coverage guys are simply kicking ass. Wire, Stamer, Aiken and others are flying down the field and making tackles. The good news is that most of these guys are under contract for a while.
There are lots of other teams that you would rather face in the playoffs right now, despite the pats recent domination. The Bills ARE good.

I am impressed that you make this admission FM. They way they are playing, they, imo, can compete with any team right now.
PS: I say this knowing that your corners are banged up.

The problem I have with this post is that you (perhaps unintentionally) make it sound as if teams WANT to hand the ball over to us, or dont really care.
The Bills are FORCING turnovers. As for the competition thing, we can only beat the teams we face, and we are doing so, even on the road.
It's all good.

>>>Dude... I'm not complaining... I'm merely the vessel that is bringing you the truth.<<<
Congrats! That is one classic statement!!!
The thing is, oh "Vessel of Truth," we are winning football games both at home and on the road. Try to enjoy it.
Again, that was fantastic! I am hoping that this truth vessel continues to dock at TSW. We need all the truth that we can get.
As John Lennon once said, "All I want is some truth. Just gimmee some truth!"

To answer your Q: no, TKrumrie had the same long-sleeve mock t-neck he wore last week. Man is INTENSE, even in the hotel lobby.....
Bengals fans were booking TKO, kind of mixed feelings about Sam W., but they still love Tim. A few of them were yelling to him during warmups; I told them "we're glad we have him".......
Well now it is official. He is one of my top 5 people that I have ever seen in sports. The brutal, blistering cold caught up with us today. 3 hours with no coat? I dont think so. Wrestling NFL defensive linemen? Another good idea.
The man is nothing short of a badass.

Again, I thought he played very well yesterday. Good pocket awareness, no ints., a bomb, etc....this without his 2 best TEs and an injured top running back.
I guess he should have played a different game to please posters on a message board who hate him, and prove to them that he does not suck.

I'll throw out one more observation....
As a TEAM, the Bills are getting it done. The defense, although it seems to get cut up, seems to have the ability to come up with big plays to negate that. Special teams.. except for the fact that attempting a FG of longer than 35 yards is a high risk adventure, has really been the story of this team this year. The offense though, is damn near pathetic. You would think that a the Bills should be able to run on the 28th ranked run defense... but no... they line up 8 in the box to stop the run. OK, WWJD??? (WHAT WOULD JIMMY (KELLY) DO? He'd burn your ass 6 different ways to Sunday with the pass... well WDDD? What did Drew do? Zero zip nada!!!... but on the plus side, at least he didn't hurt the team with a fumble or interception.
So my big obeservation is that this is a team that is getting exceptional play from the ST and Defense. Some day it is going to come down to the offense making that one final drive to either win or lose a game. Let's hope it never comes to that because we will lose every time... If we have to put the game in Drew's hands... GAME OVER... period!!!!
You should start a "Bledsoe Sucks" thread.

It was not their best game, but MaGahee was ailing, and Drew didn't get murdered. This OL is the Best the Bills have put forth in 10 or so years.
Sure, I would like to see it improve, but they have played SO well as of late that even I am off their case.
-
>>>and if we cant stop R. Johnson, how are we going to sdtop the Bus???<<<
Fair question...
Rudy Johnson has more speed than Bettis. The steelers OL will need to hold their blocks a tad longer. I am not making a statement that they cannot do this, but Big Sam might make this a difficult task.
Being home with the 12th Man is nice too, right?

Yes, Freeney is very, very good. But Ogden got seriously harrased. It reminded me of the way the Raiders' Jerry Porter schooled Champ Bailey in snowy Denver on Sunday night a few weeks back. If you want to be considered the best, which Ogden surely does, you cannot be slapped around like that on national television -- regardless of who is doing the slapping.
Ogden lost lost the game for the Ravens last night; the Ravens likely lost the season last night. That is a big deal, and it will be something people remember about Ogden for awhile.
The announcers said that he has been hurt for much of the year. I think he will be remembered more for being one of the best LTs to ever play the game, and for his huge role in gettting his football team a superbowl win.

I saw a play yesterday in which Schobel stunted inside. He had a few steps and a head of steam, but when he turned in, all he saw were the big behinds of Adams and Williams.
The was absolutely ZERO room.I dont know for sure, but I am thinking that this is why the Bills tend to stunt less than other teams. For real.

1) I think that MM left MaGahee in way too long. Please, give the kid a rest when possible.
2) What's in a name, but from where I sit, Lee Evans is the #1 receiver already.
3) You did not hear the name Ron Edwards much, but he made one of the best plays in the game imo. When Kitna had trouble with the snap and the ball popped out, there was a Bengal right there. Edwards had a choice of diving for the football or shoving the Bengal about 5 yards like a rag doll, and chose the latter. Fletch came in and scooped it up. It was smart, sound football.
4) Stats (and some of you) will say I am wrong, but imo Drew played a very good game. Most of the missed throws were thrown out of bounds, so as to not be picked. When they were down 7, he tossed the bomb. Quietly, he led the football team to a win. What more could one ask? Oh, and he passed Joe Montana in all-time completions, which one could also view as OK.
5) Not enough can be said about Spikes and Fletcher, but even Posey looked good yesterday.
6) With Kelsay, Schobel and yes, Denney as a backup, the Defensive End position is not a weakness, but a strength for this football team.
7) Speaking of AS, he is better this season than last, numbers notwithstanding. He is holding his own against OTs ranging from very good to all time greats.
8) Now for a question.....Was Krumerie wearing a jacket yesterday?
GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Rams and Seahawks have franchised both Pace and Jones the last two, in essence taken them off the market, and then signed them to a 1 year contract. I'm sure it will be more of the same.
I think the best thing we can do with Jennings is to put a transition tag on him because we all agree he's not worth franchise money. If we have a transition tag available it could allow us to keep Jennings if he's offered a favorable contract by another team it would at least give us a failsafe if if we can't find a replacement. Someone posted a list of 2005 free awhile ago and doing a quick scan didn't really see anyone I felt to be as good as Jennings but will do some fine tune scouting when get the chance. One name I do remember is Bob Whitfield, who has definately seen better days, but could be a guy for depth purposes only and could help be used to help develop a draft choice (sorta like Jim Jeffcoat did for Marcellus Wiley). As let's not forget that Marcus Price is also due to be an UFA. While I wouldn't mind Price back, I see him as nothing more then a career backup.
Two distinct possible short/long temr replacements could be LJ Shelton or Chris Samuels, while not on the list (as recall), both might end up being cap casualities. I think someone mentioned Brad Hopkins a long while ago, who might be a good short term solution and/or mentor like Whitfield.
The Bills dont have a "transition" designation.

Close, very close because of weather and crowd.
I predict Bills 17-bengals 13, and that I have a heart attack.

No rushing TD listed in this game, although I do remember a moment like that from last year, just can't remember when.
All I know is that two of your favorites had nice days;-) Travis scored twice (1rec, 1rush) and Phat Pat was an unholy terror.
Cya
OK, did the Bills play the bengals in the 8-8 season? Last game? Tell me that I am not delusional.

Mike and the Mad Dog agreed that the Buffalo Bills are the "hottest team in football." Then, they agreed that "even Bledsoe is doing well."
Francessa said that possible wild card teams (including the Bills) will have a chance knocking off the higher seeded teams, and that the Bills will beat SF AND PITTSBURGH!!!!
Their predictions mean little to me BUT, it is official. The Buffalo Bills are a respected football team. In fact, they are respected more from media sources than they are by many on this board.
Of course, I am referring to the hate-Drew at any and all costs addicts.
