They did a hell of a job for most of the game. The O stalling and the ST fumble almost killed them. Came up huge with the stops and turnovers.

Now that he has his burst we get to see the real McCoy...

This is a game ball thread. The negative thread is up above.

Oline

Take any and all wins, even if they're not pretty! 5-4 Baby!

There was no block.

Yeah, but neither did anybody else.

This year thats a generous estimate.

Well, if you wanted people to move onto the next topic, this post isn't going to do it! Have fun!

Deon just said the CBs are the weak part of the Bills D and why they're struggling.

Let's hope they play like one.

He tried to go last week too but had to pull himself out. He says he can't really test it vs. the stress he'll encounter in the game so he won't know if he can hold up until he starts playing.

Damn, didn't really pay attention to the Jets' color. That green is horrendous.

It does seem like a pissing contest is happening here. I hope that's not the case.

I wonder if Johnson gets traded next week?

Errrr, huh?

The Bills are 4-0 in games where they are + or = in turnovers. The past 5 games the Bills D haven't forced more than a single turnover in any game and have forced 4 total. That puts a lot of pressure on the offense to have to be perfect.

I was all excited to sit down and watch some sports/NFL TV for a good 3-4 hours before the game and what I get is 50% of it fantasy football predictions. WTF??!! I love FF and have played it for 20 years but can I not just watch a show about football without them having a million FF segments within it? /end rant

If the Bills keep it up nobody is going to bring up those 60s/70s Raiders teams when they mention penalties because this team will have dethroned them. EDIT: Hah, Just looked it up and I didn't even realize that the Chiefs broke the record in 98'.

At least he has the excuse of being a CB where they can (and seemingly do) call a penalty on pretty much every passing down. Jerry manufactures penalties like nobody else. Hughes has to be on pace to break the NFL record for personal foul/unsportsmanlike conduct.

I think the disappointment is the size of a giant chasm. The actual difference is between that of a very good D and a mediocre one. People were hoping they'd get better, not slide back to the middle of the pack. There's still time to get this thing turned around. Last year the D picked it up big time in the 2nd half of the season, allowing something like 16ppg. Hopefully we get similar results this year.

You're taking a sample size of 8 games. Any really bad or really good game is going to scew all of those stats.
