    Temper our enthusiasm

    We are 2-0, which is nice. You can only beat the teams on the schedule which we have. But folks we have beaten two very injured teams, missing a lot of their stars and depth. The collective records of the teams we have beaten if 0 for. They have won nothing. They are terrible teams. Granted we’re better, but how much better, we won’t know until we actually play someone who has won a game, and has most of their players there.

     

    Until then count me as one who still thinks the bandwagon bus should remain in the garage.

     

    That mentality didn't help the Jets when they faced a QB who hadn't started a game since high school...

    I'm sorry, but upstate NY winters suck. That's why I moved to LA. I'll take earthquakes, fires, mudslides, and traffic any day over gray skies and cold from October to May.

     

     

    They do suck....but some of the best summers in the country, and THE best festivals in the country make up for it...

     

    besides....you might change your mind when you wake up in the middle of the night riding your bed down the side of a cliff!

    I'm not sure I get all the hysteria. I lived on the coast of Florida for a few years and dealt with multiple hurricanes in the 2-3 category range. It was pretty intense, and at times scary, but all this "certain death" talk they are playing up on the news seems like a bit of a stretch. What is so big about this cat 2 hurricane?

     

    Its humongous, taking up half the gulf of mexico, almost as big as the state of Texas and is bringing walls of water 20-25 feet tall crashing down on the coastline...other than that...nothing really...

     

    Apparently it must be a pretty big deal since one of the meteorologists at the weather channel was saying this storm could be catastrophic and in some ways as bad as Katrina was...

    The forecast down there is for about 93 degree at kickoff, which would be a Jaguars team record.

     

    Their fans are counting on this to wilt the Bills, but I think they'll be OK. Stroud played down there for years, so he should know how to deal with it and tell his new teammates how to deal with it. Plus, a ton of our players are from the south or southwest, so they are use to it already.

     

    But Jack Del Rio has this whole mindset he imposes on his team that to be tough, they have to act tough. So the Jags will be wearig their teal jerseys Sunday, allowing the Bills to wear the cooler white jerseys, according to Jacksonville radio.

     

    For at least some games last year, Del Rio wouldn't let his team use the sideline "cool zone" machines. They were the ones who wilted in a loss to Indy.

     

    I hope De Rio has more of the same for the Jags, but either way, the Bills need to be ready for 100+ degrees on the field.

     

    The problem is that the body gets acclimated to the climate you are in. Regardless if someone is from a warm climate or not, when they have been in weather that has been in the low 70's for most of the last month, the body is going to be shocked playing in low 90's heat and humidity---there is just no way around it. That being said, staying properly hydrated and making good use of the "cool zones" are ways to help out...

    I'm sure this won't be popular but too bad.....

    There's multiple reasons why. To cheer that someone got mangled isn't right and that is probably towards the top of the list. He's one of the biggest stars in the game that I love and I don't see it as a benefit to losing someone of his magnitude, the game regresses IMO. As a Bill's fan I want our team to be #1 but not by default. I want to beat the best to be the best, anything short of that becomes more hollow. If we are to win the division and have any kind of great success in the play-offs, then we'll never get the proper credit, and we all know how sensitive and insulted most of us get about the credibility that we recieve as a franchise, team and community. The masses can celebrate Brady's injury all they want but it really takes away from all who love and follow the NFL.

     

    Plenty of super bowl winners won because other teams players were injured. Lets not kid ourselves and pretend that every SB winner and playoff team got where they were because they played every week against teams that were at 100% full strength. Noone cared last year that our team was decimated with injuries. We didn't get bonus wins added in because we "would have won" if we were fully healthy. You look to use any edge you can get to your advantage, and having the best QB in the league out for the year in week 1 is a huge advantage...

     

    Sorry, you never apologize for who you beat or how you beat them. At the end of the day all that counts is the final score...not how many injuries a team had, who was hurt, how poorly someone played, etc...

    Middletown, hey it's Paul Rizzo the car salesperson. He had a tank brought in and sold it. Sounds like you're having problems up there. Smashing people's heads into engine hoods. I'll bet you use your own car. I'd be careful 'round town.

     

    ROFL!!!!!!

     

    Yeah, its Paul...Paul Rizzo..open your f'ing ears jackass...

     

    I tell this person...you come here, you are gonna buy this car or I am gonna take your head and smash it into the windshield. I'm silly...silly I tell ya!! I'm the best...the best I tell ya!! I'll run circles around your other salesmen...i'll take their heads and wrap it around a f'ing wrachet...so I'll come down there tomorrow and I'll start work tomorrow...do I need to bring my toolbox just so I have it?? Don't worry about how far of a drive it is..I'll use my own car...thats my problem...you just focus on getting me people to sell to.

     

    Classic!!!!

    They are already selling their tickets!!!

    To be accurate, there is like a wait list of 50,000 for Giants seasons. They are like Green Bay in that tickets are passed down in families. Giant fans are NOT fairweather.

     

    In New England, the minute the Pats* lose their first game, their "die hard" fans will change channels to the Red Sox game and count the days till NBA season.

    Is it REALLY that hard to sell out a stadium with a population of 25+ million??

    I was really surprised too...Mariucci looked like he was about to orgasm talking about our special teams...Davis brought him down to earth a little saying that it is unlikely we will get a return TD, fake FG TD and a fumble recovery on special teams each game(very likely true), but that he really likes Marshawn Lynch and Edwards...another guy said he really likes the Bills as well, especially Stroud and the defense...

     

    Is it possible this Bills team is better than any of us imagined? There have been plenty of times over the past seasons where a team that is below average has catapulted into a very strong team over 1 season...perhaps this is what we have to look forward to this year? I know 1 game doesn't make a season, but this team looks like it is going to be very difficult to play against this year...
