In the beginning of the season, I thought Tight End and DE were our only downfalls. Now, it is those two, entire Defensive Line, OFFENSIVE LINE and receivers. This is way too much to overcome in order to make the playoffs in this league. I cannot believe how bad this offensive line / running game is!! Up until yesterday, I thought some of these things would correct themselves and now it is clear that the talent is just not there. This team is still a year and a half away from making the playoffs and that is the most shocking reality today. When the Colts won the Super Bowl, I remember their run defense was God awful and then something just clicked (maybe Bob Sanders returned helped too) but unless this team does a 180, they are going to end up 3rd or 4th in this division. What the HELL happened. The Bills now possibly have the toughest remaining schedule of all team in our division. It is easier to accept the brutal fall from grace the sooner you accept that there is a lot of talent missing.

PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bottom line is that the players that are going to be on the field need to play better. There is no way this team should not have a good run game. There needs to be some GD fire in that locker room and for these players to take it upon themselves to step it up a notch on the line. I think players like Stroud and Peters need to show some leadership and play lights out for this game against the Jets. This team can play a lot better and it starts on Sunday!!! I really hope they come out and make a statement in front of the home crowd....

I know a lot of people use those stupid ROFL things (those are the worst because they never are) but I seriously spit on the computer screen laughing at this one!!

I think they were tending to his (Lynch) ankle when inside the 10

Will bode well for the Bills this Sunday. Favre barely got away with one against the Chiefs and I love it when teams win ugly because they usually think they are better than they are (if that makes sense). Bills will have a chip on their shoulder and the crowd will be huge knowing how big this division game is. I don't know why but I believe this team is about to get on a 4 game roll..... Correct the MAJOR mistakes and they will be fine

I think some people here and ESPECIALLY the media were thinking this team is better than it is. These guys are definitely capable of making the playoffs (wildcard or other) but they are still a ways away from taking total control of games. Every single game is going to be a battle and if the Bills don't give the ball away, they will have a chance to beat anyone. The truth of the matter is that this team is definitely not good enough to overcome the kind of mistakes that were made yesterday. Trent does not fumble and who knows. This team obviously has enough talent to play with anybody and that is what will make the rest of the season VERY interesting. Look at their schedule.....winning the home games and beating KC gets them to 11.

Well, the time has come where the wife wants a throwback Edwards jersey and I am not going to pay the crazy amount at Bills Store. Numbers have to be stitched.....has anyone picked up this type and size anywhere. No luck on ebay..... thanks in advance

I actually started the whole Lincoln Station thing. My friend from college owns it and when the Browns left cleveland (which is where is is from), I told him I could get 50 people in there for the Bills home opener. We had close to 100 hundred people and it has only grown since then. I have since moved back to Buffalo but it still rocks for every Bills game. I am still waiting for my dividends for getting that place off the ground They have great food, pool and some pretty good lookin' staff members

Actually, when I was writing this, I was more so hoping it was a mild concussion and after hearing updates today, I would be shocked if he was not playing against the Chargers. The 3 things that bode well is that he was joking around with family after the game, made the team plane and was feeling better today (per Dick Jauron today). I would say that suggests a mild concussion.

Honestly, the only thing that matters right now is that Edwards' concussion was a mild one and is back against the Chargers. It was a crap game by offense, defense and coaching. Study the film for a while, correct the major flaws, get it out of your system and move on. This team is not as bad as what yesterday showed and they could be a lot worse than 4-1 if some other things had not gone their way in previous weeks. Hopefully, that will be the worst game of the year and this team will just focus on winning the division. I told myself yesterday that I don't care if they lose the game 72-0 as long as Edwards is not out long term. So far, it seems like most good teams have flaws in the AFC and at some point, those teams will be exposed...Buffalo, Denver, Colts, Chargers, Pats etc. The Titans will have their day as well so let's get on with movin' on and rebound big time in two weeks. The most important part of the schedule is coming up and the loss came at a perfect time....

I don't which play made me more upset today (aka physically sick to my stomach) Trent getting knocked out of the game (they won't win a game until he is back) OR when Losman botched the handuff right off the bat (knowing that the old Bills were back....God, I cannot stand this guy)

He was just trying to get a gauge as to if others felt this way too....

OK, seriously, I am not totally shocked that MAYBE ONE PERSON took this thread seriously. The fact that the majority of people responding on this right now ACTUALLY DON"T SEE THE JOKE of this thread is VERY VERY SCARY. ayyyyy yayyyyy yaaaaayyyyy!!!!! There are a lot of brain cells missing around these parts...... PS - Crayonz, I like your style!

Oh man, you can say that again. Some of these people (and their responses) really got a good laugh out of me today. I mean a REALLY good laugh!!

I'm telling you.....there is something about this team!!!

The crowd has been a HUGE factor this year and THAT is my favorite part of the day. I can't remember the last time (well Dallas) that the crowd has been so fired up. There is nothing better than being a part of that and even ONE game less in that atmosphere is one too many.

It really is too bad that out of all seasons, they had to take away a home game this year. These Sundays have been such a blast and to think that I will be on the couch instead of hosting a tailgate is hard to swallow. I hope the Toronto folks won't be sitting on their hands all day. On a side note, Whitner is just an awesome leader on this team!! He better stay a Bill till the end...

Every single AFC team has a weakness right now - every single game is winnable

The fact that the Bills still won that game IN Jacksonville after playing their B game speaks volumes. There was some shaky tackling and our dominant special teams were not even a factor. I don't think many teams would be able to beat the Jags in their home when not playing their best. I have already altered my way of thinking when this team is down in the 4th. It is similar to that feeling (2 years ago) when the Sabres would be down 2 goals and you still had faith. The confidence that is building in that Locker Room is essential and they are only going to get better. Confidence in the fans just makes it that much more fun for the ride!

Are you kidding me with this......what a joke

Who cares. Why would you want the attention to begin with? The last thing this team needs is to be in the spotlight. Let the Jets get all the media hype....

not if you ask Bart Simpson

That, I think, will be the key to the season. Their confidence seems to be at a 10 year high and they have to translate that into closing out games against teams they are beating in the 4th quarter.

Their 2 best receivers, starting right tackle AND one of their best D Tackles all missing Game 1. If there was ever a time to pounce on an opening game, this is it. Not until today did I actually feel that it would be a HUGE upset if the Bills lost this game. I don't think the Bills will ever be behind from start to finish and the crowd is going to be a factor until the final second has ticked. 27-13
