And please don't slow.

And except when he was quite visibly trying very hard to be invisible on the trick kickoff return. kj

If a WR for the Patri*ts had done this against us, how would you have reacted? kj

I predict an embarrassing win. kj

We agree on something, anyways. Right or wrong about the trade (and I like the trade), you are engaging in behavior that really isn't about dialogue and exchange of ideas and information. It's about you. You're right and everyone else can't see that and deserves to be called out. This post violates the spirit of the TBD terms of service, although not the letter: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/index.php?app=forums&module=extras&section=boardrules I bring this up not to flag this thread for the moderators (I'm not one) or to argue for its removal (I don't). I'm just pointing out that, no matter how valid your point, you aren't doing anything to foster a healthy exchange, and you are doing a great deal to provoke a fight (one that you have already decided you've won, despite the fact that you appear to be shadowboxing). Change your tone. The board will be better for it. kj

I'm not sure I agree. I see what you are saying: the team doesn't fold. At the same time, too much of the adversity they are experiencing is self-inflicted: penalties, turnovers, poor execution, poor personnel management. On the one hand, they climb back in the ring. On the other, they are too often hitting themselves over the head with the metal chair. kj

Hah!

After the last game, I felt nearly the same way about Marrone and co. as I did about EJ after the Houston game. EJ stopped moving forward as a player and was holding the team back, and I felt it was time to move on. I think the coaching staff showed that they have done little to close the gap with the Patri*ts and are likely holding the team back. For the first time, I am leaning strongly toward replacing them. kj

Would somebody hit the gas already? kj

You are right about the volatility in our reactions, and keeping an even keel would make more sense. That said, this wasn't just any loss. This was a game that was so much more. The coaching staff and locker room leaders had to have this one circled from the moment the schedule was announced. And everything since has just amplified the importance of the game: the ownership change, the apparent vulnerability of the P*ts, the division there for the taking. Plus the legacy of half a lifetime of getting owned by the smarmiest, slimiest, most unsportsmanlike, cheating-est football team since forever. It all shouted for the team to step up and make a statement, if they executed a solid gameplan and minimized mistakes. And none of it happened, as everyone knows. The Bills gave away 3 turnovers and 100+ yards in penalties at home, while letting Brady sit comfortably in the pocket and pick apart the secondary, even without the benefit of a run game. This was a statement game, all right. And the statement was that the Bills showed up small in nearly every way, coaches and players. #1 on the Patri*ts list of points to execute is always "Save the bullets. Cuz the Bills will always shoot themselves in the foot." So talk of a strong playoff contender was premature for this team. But disgust with that performance was earned. kj

I never said it was a good prediction.

I thought this was a projection of our record at the end if the season.

And the wheels are falling off. He's screwed.

I know I am.

We are down 3 Williams this week.

This is just Marrone and Whaley gaming the injury report. They will not be outdone by the hoodie.

Wait, can one owner use the official colors of teams from two different leagues in a communication with the same fan base? Get legal on the phone.

What you and I need to do and what Kiko needs to do are two very different things. kj

Restraining order? I imagine there are ways to up the punishment such that the possibility of jail time etc would really discourage him. kj

And that is a great point. I wish an interviewer would put that to him.

I would love to have the PA play a few seconds of a Jon Bon Jovi song on Sunday, just enough for everyone to recognize it and go 'WTF?' And then cut it off with the sound of a needle dragging across a record. kj

Did you spend 14 hours researching this post? kj

Stayin' ! Now they just have to figure out a loophole so they don't have to sell the Sabres. kj

Whoa, he deserves at least 16 posts to see how he can handle live pressure. Typical Bills fan, always shouting 'bust' when a career is barely started. kj

16 yard gain and a first down is anything but dink and dunk. Again, a high percentage throw allowing YAC. Move the chains.
