I'm with ya on the optimistic side, Dr., but here's a more "curbed enthusiasm" way to look at it: If the Bills beat St. Louis, they can go 6-6 the rest of the way, finish 10-6, and most likely still make the playoffs.

I think it was Peters that made the adjustment to the speed rush of Burgess--he finally started to play for the speed rush and ride him out wide. Burgess was the only Raider getting consistent pressure--once he was neutralized, things got a little easier. Maybe Burgess just flat tired himself out by speed-rushing on every passing play.

It was a lesson that obviously needed to be learned--glad it could be taught in a W instead of a loss. As for the Rams, their defense (especially the DB's) is nowhere near as good as the defenses the Bills have faced thus far. Get off to a good start, and the Rams will quit-- as evidenced by today's performance vs. Seattle.

If being a moron forces someone to stop posting in this thread, you should have been stopped after post #1.

Hey, maybe you've seen my Bills plate proudly displayed on the front of my car. I agree with you, I see a lot of other Bills plates, bumper stickers, etc. around here as well.

At the end of his tenure with the Rams, he was having major fumbling problems, wasn't he? I believe he had some concussion issues as well. Maybe the few years of relative inactivity allowed him to heal up and clear out the cobwebs a little. Having Boldin and Fitzgerald certainly helps, as well.

That was my first thought about the Raider game after the Jags game on Sunday. Last week was for Big Marcus, this week is for Big Langston!! GO BILLS!!!

Not only that, he ran exactly the same play to the same reciever as the touchdown pass.

Two weeks, two excrutiating losses. Isn't that usually how the Bills season starts? Feels good to be on the other side of the spectrum for a change!!!!

I see "The Dean" is finally out of the witness protection program!

I'm not going to the game, unfortunately, but thankfully it won't be blacked out: http://www.jaguars.com/news/article.aspx?id=7236 Can you believe Jags home games are blacked out all the way down here in Orlando? Obviously I normally don't care, but the last two Bills/Jags games have been blacked out.(The only two games ive missed seeing in over 10 years)

I was thinking: Yeah, you shot 80.....on the front nine!

That might be true, but no one wants to spend a numer 2 pick overall on a guard.

One of the factors leading to the slow starts of the Bills in recent years has been the difficulty of their schedule(among other things, of course). This year that is certainly not the case. Obviously, Jacksonville is not going to be an easy game, but its not out of the realm of possibility that the Bills can win that game. The next three games are games where the Bills should have the advantage: Oakland, probably the worst team in the NFL this year. St. Louis, probably in the bottom five of worst teams in the NFL this year. Arizona, a decent team that looked rather unimpressive vs. a sorry 49ers team. These games are by no means locks, but if the Bills want to compete in a now wide open AFC East, they have to assert themselves in these games before the bye. Dare I ask what are the odds we could see the Bills at 5-0 at the bye? 4-1? Or a more conservative 3-2?

I was pleased to see the offense remain somewhat aggressive even with the lead. Its important that the coach shows confidence in the abilities of his players. Obviously, with the way things were going last year, its understandable that DJ wanted to play it close to the vest. We should see the agressiveness of the offense and the defense as a sign that DJ and the coaching staff are finally comfortable with the talent assembled to execute a broader gameplan. Lets hope that the Bills can come down here to the Florida heat next week and put a hurtin' on the Jags! GO BILLS!!!

I loved it when Hasselbeck audibled out of a play, then at the last second, the Bills changed their defensive set which caused Hasselbeck to call a timeout. When your team is winning even the little "chess matches" during the game, you know its going to be their day.

Although it had no bearing on the outcome of the game, it still was a sweet-looking pick. An excellent capper to a wonderful day of Bills football!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The two guys we got, in effect, for Willis McGahee...I knew that guy would eventually be good for something!! 2007 3rd: Edwards 2008 3rd and 5th: traded for Stroud

I don't care how much of a jerk it makes me, I couldn't be happier if this is true.

I listened to the preseason games here: http://www.wham1180.com/cc-common/ondemand...r.html?world=st Going to the bar to watch the game, however, so I wont know if this is going to work for the regular season games.

About an hour away from leaving for the sports bar, but I already have my Lynch jersey on! Beast Mode has officially been activated!!!!! Go Bills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, the best way to neutralize a good pass rush is to run the ball and throw quick, short passes. This should be the game plan for this game, and I for one won't be upset if the Bills employ this strategy.

I'll second that! Although I believe a blowout is unlikely, there are enough factors pointing in the Bills direction that should give them the edge in this one. Here's to getting the season off to a good start!!!

George Carlin once said that people who have a "Baby on Board" sign in their cars should have another sign next to it: A**HOLE at the Wheel!!
