vincec Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Speaking of Rex, did you hear he is not putting Revis on IR because "he could be back for the Super Bowl"? No lack of confidence there. PTR /Didn't the Eagles do the same thing with TO the last time they went to the Super Bowl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1billsfan Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 In the game "King of the Hill", you've got to knock the the guy on top of the hill off. That's what they have to do today. The Bills did beat the Pats last year. However, that big win turned out to be just a potential sign of the emergence of a young, talented, up and coming football team. If the Bills do win this game it will have the definite feel of the changing of the guard. The Pats no doubt look at the Bills as a serious threat now and the Bills will certainly get their best effort today. It's fun knowing before the game what a win here for the Bills will do to this team's confidence and chances for the division title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I can't say that this isn't the beginning. But the Patriots used to be a team that could be very good even if Tom Brady was out (See the 2008 season) But now, if Brady is out I don't see them doing it again. Brady, though a very good at reading a defense, and is now 35. Favre was pushing it at 40, and was first going to retire at 37. I won't say the Bills are going to take over, but I do think that something is coming down the pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 / Didn't the Eagles do the same thing with TO the last time they went to the Super Bowl? He had a small break in his leg, not a ligament tear that is needed for lateral movement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Well, he can be really uneven but the jets matchup really well against our squad. That's talent scheme and coaching. I wouldn't say his style is without flaw though. It seems to do well in spurts, not over the long haul. Even when going deep in the playoffs the regular seasons had some terrible runs. Agreed. I've felt the Bills matchup worse against the Jets than any other team in football over the past few years. It seems like the Bills get manhandled every time they play.

Dorkington Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 We beat them last year and finished 6-10. We suck until we put together an entire successful season with at least a wild card birth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) Excuse me - but you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind's blowin'. Nice quote Bob. History is not something outside of human experience and control. History is not the past. History is the story that humans build using the past. Thus historians (not to be defined as professionals, but all people who take the past and make stories), that is, humans, make History.
