This really is well-done. talk about working for and living the dream. and if freddie ever wants to go into midget tossing, i'm sure he'll be great! see 05:30. seriously, great job. hope to see more, though it'd be hard to top freddie's story.

yes, the jets game was a kick in the balls, the injuries are mounting, and the Doom is looming, but we can put that shite to bed with a win in Dallas. and what the hell is the point of being a fan if you can't be optimistic?

you could really see how tough his yards were. this week is a huge game. tough to come back from that sort of physical beating. at any rate, glad we have a huge game in week 9.

These two bits reek of something false. the first is over-the-top dramatic, the second seems like it is an imagined experience, not the author's. pretty crap actually. "We foam at the mouth when questioned about the propriety of “pop” over “soda,” “wings” over the ever-reviled “buffalo wings,” just to salvage a little dignity in the face of our crippled way of life… Now I imagine those clear-faced children down in a bar with some Irish name on the south side of Buffalo, tipping back Labatts with the old boys, who haven’t been to work since the steel plant closed a few decades back. They complain about the ball and chain and the Bills, but the Bills still manage to keep their loyalty. They eat whatever’s come out of the deep fryer in the back, they barely avoid a DWI on the way home, and when they wake up in the morning there’s frost on the ground and they don’t notice the very deep blue of Lake Erie and the sunbeams shining along that unending horizon."

i'm not sure if all teams' message boards are the same, but the shoutbox on sundays is filled with the most excruciating characters in the world. outside of perhaps the KC game and maybe the redskins game, we have (according to the shoutbox chicken littles) been woefully outclassed and shown to be completely inept at some point during every game. it's blind luck if we win. teams can make mistakes and have bad games without calling for everyone's head. if it were left up to some posters, the whole team would have been, cut, traded, or vaporized by now. any incompletion on 3rd down is grounds for a wholesale change in personnel and coaching, and any loss requires planning for the draft next year. there is plenty to criticize about every team in the nfl. even the almighty packers. but the relentless barrage of hysterical, hair-pulling, cloth-rending frothing that takes place here is bizarre. i'm not a big proponent of pills or shrinks, but some posters ought to consider seeking assistance.

Indeed. Way way too much credit. unless he posts things that i miss. he is a reliable chicken little nihilist on the shoutbox.

there is not a player on the bills who thought the call was wrong. fitz didn't execute. he knows it. gailey is a winner. he went for the kill.

we actually have a game in toronto that matters. we'd better take it to the skins and the bloody canadians better be hollering.

damn it!

indeed. the shoutbox, which i might have to avoid during games from now on, was ridiculous. off hand, i remember mattyshu, deeptoevans, jay ball and dayman as being completely negative and chicken little-like. those aren't exact names, but you probably know who i mean. i really don't get it. why watch the game if you are certain the bills will lose? anyone who knows football knows that this team is the best we've had since the music city rip. way different from jauron's 4-1. yes, there are flaws. the D needs to tighten up and fitz was not (despite his stat line) very accurate today. but overall, the team is physical, the offense has a plan, gailey is legit coach, and they believe in themselves. i figured out during the NE game that they believe in themselves a hell of a lot more than most fans do. i was like many, when it got to be 21-0, i was thinking that i'd seen this game before. almost went to bed. but this team always has a shot and they are a pleasure to watch.

that is my point. buffalo fans wouldn't go see bruce matheson and cinci fans don't want to go see the joke of a tam they put out year after year. yes, they made the playoffs once. so did dick jauron.

great find!

i remember in the 80's when there 30k at rich stadium before kelly. people have X amount of money. new shoes or a bengals game? nice dinner or a bengals game? groceries or a bengals game? case of beer or a bengals game? i know my answer.

it couldn't happen to a better bunch of fans...what a bunch of whinging ninnies. on espn today they were all moaning aout the yankees tanking it DURING the rain delay. they wanted the yanks to do the heavy lifting. it couldn't happen to a better bunch of fans...what a bunch of whinging ninnies. on espn today they were all moaning aout the yankees tanking it DURING the rain delay. they wanted the yanks to do the heavy lifting.

This might be Reed's year. Don't see many locks from the new group. Maybe Parcells as coach.

tony gonzales didn't catch a long td pass for tampa bay and stevie johnson isn't small, but the main thrust of the article is good. nice to see gailey getting some recognition.

when did we beat the dolphins in he 38-35 shootout? '83? it's that feeling for me. not quite with it in 1980. i think jerry butler made his final catch, a diving td from fergy, in that game. or i'm mixing memories. anyway, it is one of those old time feelings. emerging from the dark forest.

lee evans is peerless. interpret that how you will. now stomp some patriots arse!

i was watching some coaches film on nfl gamepass and i was actually surprised how open some of our guys are. for instance, v. KC on johnson's 27 yard catch, chandler was wide open cross the middle about ten yards down. fitz just decided to go for it and let johnson win the ball. fitz seems to trust johnson to win the one on one every time and throws into some pretty decent coverage.

he was awful outside of his first 8 games. hard to watch. painful. rob johnson-esque. it was harder to watch than rob johnson because those first 8 games were such a tease.

most bills fans would call 911 on and/or shoot at most bills players who showed up on their doorstep

This right on. i always knew kelly was going to come up with something, or in the case of the comeback, reich. watched that game at casa di pizza and most people were swearing and talking about next year, but i really believed they'd win. completely irrational. now i really believe they'll lose. not totally irrational, but it can be. i bet twenty bucks on the chiefs game with my buddy and he was surrendering at halftime. i kept telling him he wasn't out of it. last week was nice. do that a few more times and maybe the doom will wash away from my mind.

wow, this is right up there in the 'stupid topic' category.

me sitting in my living room at one in the morning. wife and child sleeping peacefully until probably three minutes into the game. beer, corn chips, and wild game pate. and anything else i can snag from the 7-11 downstairs during commercials. neighbors have been trained to not be alarmed by howls in the night. let's get this season started right!

i remember that game because i went to watch it at a strip club in fort erie and ended up half nekkid on stage with performer named 'strawberry fields'. she tore the buttons off my shirt and pants. i was wearing long johns. pretty sure she was high as a kite since the joint turned on all the lights and took her off the stage, not me. combo that with good food, giant tv, legal beer (i was 19), and a bills romp and you have yourself one hell of a day.
