This coach has given me the most cause for optimism since I don't know when...Yes, he has flaws. But I'll take his flaws along with his positives if he can get this team playing the way it has in spite of the adverse circumstances. You gotta love his enthusiasm. http://www.buffalobills.com/video/videos/Doug_Marrone_Monday_Press_Conference/9f1751bb-e094-4926-beaa-6a9b1cce8f6e

New York Times article. Barron Hilton is still alive, but no longer owns the San Diego Chargers. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/22/sports/football/bud-adams-titans-owner-and-an-afl-founder-dies-at-90.html C

Our D-line should not have been manhandled as much as they were tonight. Totally ridiculous performance as a unit given the level of talent. Williams & Williams & Dareus. We should be getting more production out of them.

Have it DVRed will watch tomorrow.

Plus Kyle Shanahan and Grossman are really tight.

Honestly, This is not a big loss as some are making it out to be. In the long term EJ is our guy. With another season, he'll be way ahead of Freeman. But I'm intrigued by Pat White. He may very well be the African American Flutie.

To the point about which reporters break breaking news, if you've met journalists - they're pretty much in two categories. Kinda like musicians. Old school and new school. The D&C and most of the Buffalo News team are very old school. I love these guys but they think new media news is not real reporting and are slow to adapt. On the other hand guys like La Canfora who wouldn't be able to hold their water in a "real" journalistic context and are horrible reporters, are on it cause they get the new world. Add that to the fact that team sources really rather get in good with national outlets than local media, end up giving hot tips to organizations like CNN or ESPN first before local. The exception to all of this in my mind - are Adam Schefter and Peter King - old school guys who have made the transition really well. PK even has his own online network and brand now - MMQB. That's how you play it... C

I'm very intrigued by Pat White being an option. Not as a long term option - but as a stop gap. We should also look at David Carr for a veteran presence. His arm strength is not all that, but could be worth 3-4 wins in the interim. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/162359-did-the-bills-just-become-the-new-landing-spot-for-josh-freeman/page__st__20#entry2933223 I think at this point, White is a better option than Dixon. C

Do we really want the drama? We need a solid vet. Unfortunately there are not that many out there right now. Maybe David Carr or Pat White, someone who would know their role. But gives us a fighting chance to win a game.

What KOKBIlls said.

C'mon, man. After EJ went down and Tuel steps in and plays the way he did, If I'm a Browns player I'm really feeling good about my chances. Our D gave it their all, but our secondary is playing way above their skill level. But it still isn't enough. Add injuries to that, except for a couple of choice players on the O and some of the front 7 on the D, we really aren't that good. We'll get better. The Browns played hard - but if EJ was in the game, this would have been us all over it. Don't believe the post game ESPN Browns glory hype for Jim Brown night. They did just enough to win. But Weeden is not gonna take them very far. The Bills on the other hand - need to figure out how to shore up the secondary and the receiver corp. Hopefully they use the 10 day break like a bye and retool where necessary. C

They need to name this kid "Dexter." as in the TV Show. Baby faced serial killer.

This guy has some Chris Spielman in him. But here's what I think we should name him: Kiko "Dexter" Alonso

Humor is awesome.

I got DirecTV 10 years ago to get the NFL Sunday Ticket to watch the Bills down here in Nashville. Due to limited finances these past few years we had to drop the Sunday Ticket. On Sunday I negotiated a free year with of Sunday Ticket/Sunday Ticket Max/$100 Visa Card/$10 off a month and got to watch the game for real for the first time in a couple of years. That's why we won. C

Losman v Texans. OMG. Bite your digital tongue, man! ;-)

I was there when Doug Flutie started against the then unbeaten Jaguars. Flutie won that game for us and it began a mini era of a pretty good run until that fateful day in Nashville. Now living in Nashville and watching the game today on TV, I felt a little bit of the same excitement as did that October day in 1998. It was fun to see a young exciting promising QB with a clue be so cool, calm and collected winning a game like that. Kudos to our scouting department and front office for ignoring the "experts" and picking this kid in the first round. Well done. C

We couldn't get off the field on 3rd downs. Absolutely killed us. But that's because Tom Brady is Tom Brady. And I think Amendola had a career game - one leg and all. Other than that - and I say this sincerely - the Defence kicked ass! If this keeps up, I expect to lose our DC to a HC job.

I'm a fan of Stevie. But when Amendola is playing on one foot, SJ needs to make that play. Of course, Amendola has one of the best QBs and coaches lighting a fire under his ass. That's what SJ needs. Somebody to hold him accountable.

Nice article on how Bills D just confused Ponder with new philosophy. Not exotic game planning. The All-22: Christian Ponder’s confusion against Buffalo’s defense speaks to a larger issue C

True. Except in the case of our Bills. At least in the negative. Remember when they sucked in the preseason the last couple of seasons and still sucked during the season. All the while claiming "it's just the preseason. we'll fix it." or "we didn't game plan." I for one am glad that even if they end up sucking during the actual season, we at least got to watch some damn entertaining football. Even if it is the preseason. I hate it when they lose. But hate it more when they're boring, don't seem to know what they're doing and lose. I think this team will at least be half way entertaining... C

I thought he was impressive. Sure he was playing against their scrubs. So we need some perspective. But at the same time, he was playing with "our scrubs" too. The kid has a presence about him and definitely seems to have a grasp of the offense. I think he ran an up tempo, quick hit offense in college too. So this scheme suits him.

Bray is a loser. That is all you need to know. Great physical attributes with absolutely no intangibles.

So no one thinks this is inappropriate given the fact that she was a PA and he was the on screen celebrity? What if she resisted his advances? No one thinks it's odd that this hasn't come out prior to this? One thing if they weren't working together. But she was not even a senior producer on equal footing with him. I'd like to think it was consensual. But Bobby Petrino lost his job over something similar. Why does Marino get a free pass?

Thank God. Saves us from picking him up...again.
