NFL always thinks it will be different in LA. It won't. Fan support for football sucks and they are only doing it for TV ratings and corporate dollars.
They will be continuously embarrassed by half filled stadiums that are "sold out" like Miami because their corporate partners buy up the tickets

I think we all knew we were building talent on the defensive side - but we saw it wasted by Wanny - then we saw it improved but still troublesome under Pettine - now with Schwartz we have the right mix of run & pass defense
#1 in sacks
#2 in run defense (71 yrds) ..... Pettine has Browns at 29th 152yrds
#2 in 3rd down Pct (31%)
Last year
#2 in sacks
#28 in run defense (128 yrds)
#13 in 3rd down Pct ( 37%)
Coaching means a lot in this league
Leading the NFL in sacks with very little blitzing...he really has the front four playing well against the run and the pass...some of those are coverage sacks from not blitzing...the QB has nowhere to go and the pocket just collapses on him

I believe the noise and emotions at the Ralph will be at an all time high. I don't know how long that feeling will last.
The Bills offense is a complete mystery to me at this point, so I will put my faith in the Bills defense.
However, I am completely terrified of the Pats tight ends. The Bills don't believe the tight end position exists as an offensive weapon, and they may not understand how to defend against them. I believe the game will hinge on how well the Bills handle the tight ends and the short passing game. I believe the Bills have a good run defense and an adequate defense for covering wide receivers, but I have no idea how the Bills will respond to the tight ends, and I won't try to predict how it will turn out.
Really? Cause TE's have averaged 5 receptions and 45 yards a game versus us this year...and we played some good ones
-
he also went out of bounds pretty early on a reception i think at end of half or game, could have gained another 6-8 yards i think but trouted out of bounds so it seems he doesnt like contact
how about the defender earlier who luckily touched Hilton...im amazed how often i see defenders not touch player just to be sure they are considered down
You mean like Keith Rivers on Arian Foster?
-
I expect the Bills beat the Patriots. Not because of all the excitement or enthusiasm with the owner change, but simply because for the first time in a very long time, we simply have more talent top to bottom on our roster than they do.
-
That's what happens when tren, test and other substances are used with guys who are already aggressive by nature
-
While I think that Orton has reached his ceiling as a QB.....I think that he can improv on last weeks performance purely from the "rust" standpoint
As they progress through the season Orton will get better timing with his receivers.....which will result in better efficiency.
Many examples of teams bringing in veteran QBs for a few years on otherwise talented teams that made the playoffs...
Rich Gannon with Raiders, Trent Green with Chiefs, Alex Smith with Chiefs, Chad Pennington with Dolphins, etc...
-
SD signed former Miami RB Ronnie Brown who was cut by Texans so they are not going to trade for Spiller like I was guessing.
For at least or two until they see Ronnie Brown has no more traction.
Don't see how Brandon Oliver doesn't start for them after his monster performance last week...he looked exceptionally quick and shifty and is built like a bowling ball that can run you over as well
-
Ron Brooks? Wow. That is really good to hear, just for the health of the kid reasons.
Looked almost exactly like what happened with Don Beebe and if I remember correctly he didn't have anything wrong after it happened either...

Obviously, today is the start of a new era of Buffalo Bills Football. It has given me a chance to reflect a little bit on the great years in the early 90's to the struggles of the past decade and a half. While I'm hesistant to buy in too much I really believe this year is different.
When I look at the Bills roster I think when was the last time that the Bills had this many players that a good team would want? Even when the Bills got off to a good start in 2008 they had a few good young players and a decent team but nowhere near the talent on the roster now. By my count even the best teams would want: AW, Dareus, Kyle Williams, Kiko, Sammy, Glenn, Mario, Hughes, Carpenter and then you have some really good players in Graham, Gilmore, Freddie, Bradham, Spikes, Woods and Mike Williams. I am not trying to leave out guys but just proving a point. The Bills have guys that can play anywhere which hasn't been the case in a while. They have the most talented team in the division.
There is some poetic symmetry to the Bills ending the Wilson era in Detroit and starting the Pegula era at home against New Emgland. The unofficial changing of the guard. Let's hope that this positive momentum continues!! Go Bills
Yes Kirby I agree. I've believed that teams who have been down for a while become good when their level of talent simply causes them to better than most of their opponents. I believe we have reached that point, and with Orton as QB can really play with 90% of the teams in this league and have a realistic belief they can and/or should win the game.
Minus the QB we have a top 5 talented roster in the NFL. Even with QB considered and us having Orton I'd still put us near top 10...
-
This team has a mental toughness not seen in a long time and has been on display pretty much every game...
Two quality road wins against good opponents, shut down San Diego for most of 2nd half giving chance after chance to the offense to get back in it and then clawed back into the Houston game even with EJ playing horrible...
This team galvanizes together when things go bad it doesn't fold like do many teams before it did...so refreshing for a change
-
Good post.
I think the concern was that 2012 seemed to be the year when CJ and Chan kind of "got it," and then 2013 came around and he regressed. I think in 2012, he was over 6 ypc and 10 yds per rec, and then went way down in 2013.
Regardless, I think your point is a fair one, as I am one of the folks on here who sing gailey's praises. Might be overstating the Gailey effect.
Our screen game was killing people then...Gailey was the master of the screen game and Spiller would make teams pay once he got in space
We have had screens set up this year with one defender nearby and 3 blockers in front and the defender still makes the play instead of it going for big yardage like it should...very frustrating
-
Well, we get Fox again for the Bills-Patriots game this week under the new cross-flex policy the NFL has

Ralph Wilson continues to surprise...for those who have bad things to say about the man, you should be ashamed of yourself. This man has taken honor, loyalty and extreme generosity to the next level. He has shown a tremendous love for the city of Buffalo that might be unmatched.
We were all worried about the Bills leaving, well...not only did he have a carefully constructed plan in place to prevent that, he also turned around and instructed that most of the money from the sale of the team be put into the Ralph Wilson Foundation which then must be donated to organizations and charities in Buffalo and Detroit only. One his home town, the other his adopted city he loved til the day he died.
He had no need to do this. He could have taken the money from the sale and passed it to his family and we would all have been happy that he worked do hard to keep the Bills in Buffalo behind the scenes. But that wasn't enough for him. He didn't do all of this for notoriety, just like many of the stories that have come out about his silent gifts of generosity that he didn't want anyone to know about.
God bless you Mr Wilson. There are so few men like you, I don't think many could have imagined just how honorable, loyal and generous you could be to the places you loved. I have a new found respect for him and if I could be half the man he was, I would be thrilled.
Anyone who has something bad to say about this man after the last few months should be banned from posting on this board. I don't say that lightly but the extraordinary lengths Mr. Wilson went to not only keep the team here but also give a tremendous amount of money back to the city when he had no need to makes it justified.

Updated line after the Pats remembered they were the Pats have the #Bills as 3 pt underdogs at home next week vs NE
F that...Bills are coming for Brady and those b*tch @ss Pats
-
I can see K. Williams taking the 220 y.ard stat to B. Spikes and putting it above his locker. "I guess your old team might run all over us". BS "not this week".
As my favorite football movie quote from Remember the titans "not another yard, you blitz all night, you make them remember the night they played the Titans!"
God I want to see Brady on his back all day. Orton, just play a decent game and let the defense wreak havoc. That would be a fun day.
If we get back KW and NB, look for a fun day. These WR will start to get a synergy with KO. I trust Marrone will get improvements on th o line. Not the best, just serviceable in the guard spot.
Bills have the #1 run D in the NFL this year...no team has rushed for more than 90 yards on us...we are bringing the pain
-
After the drubbing they took in Kansas City, did Brady and the offense show us the blueprint for their game plan against us when they dismantled the Bengals defense with their two TE sets and numerous seam passes? I realize they wanted to make a statement with their victory at home against Cincy; 'Brady isn't finished yet!'. Had they sprung this formation on us, we probably would have been clobbered. But I think Schwartz will figure out a way to counter this. What say you?
TE's have done next to nothing against us all season...in 5 games, TE's have averaged 5.4 receptions for 46.6 yards and only 1 TD---the first TD scored against us this season---Martellus Bennett's TD where Preston Brown slipped in coverage...
Antonio Gates has been terrorizing teams this year and was held to 8 yards on 1 catch
-
Big deal - anomalies happen
Ypg is still the measure and it certainly plays out accurately over a 16 game season
Beyond all that if one cannot see visually that the Bills Run D is exceptional this season, then I cannot help that person.
They still lead the league with a long run of only 14 yards allowed
-
2nd inexplicable pickup of a flag against an opponent...first Kyle Williams being held against the Bears and now Watkins being mugged against Detroit...maybe its only when we play NFC North teams?
-
I'd say it to Pears' face, but I'd be five yards away and moving laterally like a LB on a screen. There'd be zero chance that Pears could hit me then.
Yes our screen blocking has been comically bad...3 guys out in front against one defender and they don't even touch the defender before he makes the tackle...
-
Lol...its hard to believe, but Vick was worse than Geno's 4 of 12 for 27 yards and 1 INT...
Jets are a disaster right now
-
Orton also wasn't the beneficiary of months of taking first team snaps with this group of players. He had some rust for sure.
The pick 6 was brutal as the CB was baiting him pre-snap on a high school football level….aside from that, the guy exceeded my expectations.
He also did something Manuel hasn't done in his first game----throw for over 300 yards
-
Took Orton 1 game to do what EJ never dud...throw for 300 yards

Aaron Williams being out killed us today...Duke Williams got burned and took stupid penalties the entire day...especially since he likely could have clamped down much better on Gronkowski than Duke
