Bleed Bills Blue

No, NE has the far tougher schedule. They have to face us twice.

What I'm hearing is: "May I have the pigskin, please."

Of course, you all realize the TV experience would be unwatchable if there weren't a real crowd of screaming, rabid fans to get you pumped vicariously. A real crowd gets the players pumped, too. TV ratings would plummet without fannies in the stands. It would be like watching a movie with no background music...you don't know how much it adds until it's not there. Take it from a 30-year season ticket holder: Watching on TV with a room full of friends is great, but nothing compares with being at the game.

We had hope two years ago, now we have confidence. GO BILLS!!

GREAT stuff, thanks for posting! What really hits me on watching this is, despite all the changes in the intervening years, it's still basically the same game it was then.

Gotta be a thousand ways to say it. I'd print this one out and hang it on the wall: HUNGRY BILLS FEAST ON HAPLESS PATS

Thinking of putting my 40-year bandwagon season seats for sale on Stubhub. J/K

Hope they take their hurt out on the Cheaters.

Little Tommy has elbow fever, and the only prescription is...more Bills!

Much credit and heartfelt thanks need to go to the Pegulas. It all starts with them. Their commitment to growing a winning culture in western New York has produced great results. To be sure, ownership has been a learning experience for them as well, and there have been some tough trials; but they have laid the foundation for a long-term, successful franchise for years to come. Just a great day to be a fan of this team.

At the 19 second mark and from 25 seconds until the end of the clip, you can clearly see that no one on the field, sidelines or crowd is looking up to watch it. Jumbotron only.

If I had a son, he would post something like this.

Duck tape?

Adjust on offense, move those chains...win TOP!!

Hurdles...wait...that sounds like a circus clown. Ok, Babyface it is.

He's being put on notice, along with Hauschka...

He needs to raise both arms at the end there and give that last, defiant shout to the heavens.

Here's one slider the Bills love to pound.

Unfortunately, not many teams are built to overcome this level of game-fixing. The Bills certainly are not. Parity makes it all possible. A close game is one that can be decided with one well-timed call...or non-call. I apologize, this crap has finally turned me into a hardcore cynic. Oh, and Epstein didn't kill himself.

I guess the new standard at a critical juncture of a game is that O linemen have to stand flat-footed and can't lift their legs at all in the face of a defensive power rush. Feels like someone behind the scenes is lifting his leg and pissing on the fans.

Well, since we've come to that fork in the road, I think we should take it. And take the game, too. And while we're at it, stick that fork in the turkey and the Boys. They're both done.

Pick the right spots for designed runs and allow him to trust his instincts when he decides to take off. Too valuable a weapon to ignore on an offense that needs to utilize everything it's got. Of course, be smart about it. But also be fearless.

Hear me now and believe me later: If we beat the Cowpukes to go 10-2 on Thanksgiving Day, we will have completed the Giants-Redskins-Cowboys revenge trifecta, and it will then be clear to everyone that the stars have finally aligned and that destiny postponed is not destiny denied.

Makes you question what the real reason is for the foundational emphasis on parity in the NFL.

Great writing, Shaw. Still early, and not an exact match, but definitely some parallels between Duke Williams and Fred Jackson. Let's hope this is the start of something beautiful!
