If you have it on DVR, listen to right after Florence says the team thought they could win. Harrison is laughing, and quickly pulls himself back together has cameras come back to the studio. He is and always was a dirt ball. He is the ying to the Classy Tony Dungy yang.

exactly. chan has the pulse of this team and the game itself. how refreshing to watch a coach that understands things and make decisive decisions. May not always work, but he is pushing the right buttons so far. Both on game day and personel. Good for Chan, he is a good guy, getting his last shot(probably) to head coach in the NFL. He was a cast off just like a lot of HIS players. They just need to keep the hunger and focus, and sky is the limit!

Lets enjoy today. All of us in Bills nation. Tomorrow the team starts getting ready for Bengals. If the Bills play and coach as well the rest of the year, no reason this isn't a playoff team, and god only knows what. When you look around the NFL, the Bills just beat the scariest team. God this feels good!!!

I watched a game at the bar right next store a few years back. The Miami away game in 2009. Boring as hell game, and still Mc Faddens was rocking! I can believe it.

Enjoy the win today. Tomorrow focus on Bungals. Dont worry about anything else.

I know the Bills didnt get the fourth down, and i think N.E went back down the other way and scorred? But when Chan went for it on the fourth down, it showed The bills have a coach that understands the game. Chan knew N.E was rolling on O and knew he needed to take a shot. How many times under Jauron on one the other coaches over the last 12+years would have punted it? Chan is setting the mind set.

Yes! But now i have to keep this damn beard for another week!!

Thought it would be a shoot out, like it was, and thought Bellichek(sp)(wait i dont give a sh*t) would out coach Chan. Glad i was wrong. This is a huge win!!!! Shows everyone this is a real team. This team is different then 2008. The Bills beat best team in the league today!! So i guess that makes Buffalo the best team, for ths week! Now lets go beat the Bungals and keep this thing rolling!!!!

Amen Brother

He was a mess while in Atlanta. I think Brett would even admitt the best thing that ever happened to him was being traded to GB. His career would never have been what it was w.o that move. Holmgren mentored him into the player he was, maybe like Chan is doing with Fitz?

You are spot on with all your points. A person can get addicted to anything not just drugs-food, gambling, working out....etc. It usually is the direct result of an underlying issue/problem (which you pointed out). Some people understand that and others dont. I know i did not till i saw it first hand.

In my original response i said 3 years at 5 mil a season. front load it. And the fact he signed it while Marshawns back up is irrelevant really. He wouldn't have gotten a better deal anywhere else. Lets also remember it was the Bills who found Freddy and gave him his shot...i mean if we are being Fair.

Beat the Pats. I know in this scenerio that means they loose the next two. But the younger guys will start to believe even more in what Chan is selling. This team is showing signs of understanding what it takes to win a game in the NFL. That is a stark contrast to the last 11 years.

Good teams are deep, well coached teams. The Pats have been able to plug guys in and not miss a beat over the past 10 years.Hell even the year Brady went out they won 11 games. Lets see if the Bills can do the same with the WR position?

I get what you are saying. And maybe the Bills will do that...i doubt it, and so do you(i bet). Those other guys you listed, to the best of my knowledge, havent said a word. All i said was wait till the end of the season. If Freddy is amoung the best in the league then, pay him a reasonable 3 year deal, front loaded of course. What happens if you give Freddy some huge contract now? And in 2 years he cant play. And you have some of these other young guys that are on the team now comming up for contract? It is a business. They get paid very well to play a game. Freddy is still making 1.75m this year. Come on, not sure what you do for a living, but how many years would you have to work to make that? I dont begrudge him or anyone for wanting to get paid. All for it, But i also have to see the Bills point of view.

How is it bulletin board material. All he is saying is the Pats are going to remember they played the Bills. Williams is by no means a " sh*t talker". People in the league respect him. They know he brings it everytime he is on the field. And it sounds to me like at leats one guy in the Bills doesnt care they have a little Patriot on the helmet!

I am sorry, but you dont pay players as a way of saying 'thank you' for what you have done. 2 games into the season, great. The Bills will wait to see what his numbers are like at the end of the season. If Fred is in the top 5-10 rushers, he gets a new deal. Most likely for 3 years. But as another poster said at 30 with 2 years on a contract, he does not have a lot of leverage. And i get he hasn't been in the NFL all those years. Not to many guys run faster the older they get, regardless if they have 300lb+ guys landing on their legs and back every week for 16+ weeks. I want Fred to run like he has the last two games for the next 100, but the likely hood of that is slim to none. and slim left town last week.

I understand him being upset. But he should understand the Bills stance. They are wanting to see him keep producing the rest of the year. i am sure he will get a nice offer from them. Fred is also over 30 years old, that is old for RB. Not saying he wont get paid, but he will have to be reasonable. Dont think he is getting a huge contract from anyone. Maybe 4-5mil a year for 3 years. History shows that RBs production drops off fast somewhere over 30. it is crazy, but go look at Thurmans drop off at age 31.

I did the same. cant do the ZZ top because of work. But going to leave it for now. Go Bills!!

Good catch. If my memory serves me right CJ caught a pass out of this formation earlier in the game. Chan hoped the LB's would remember that play and bite on it. They did, and the Bills won. When is the last time we had a coach out smart another team? I think most H.S coaches could bamboozle Jauron.

I agree he probably wont be a 30 touches a game guy.Maybe 15-20. IMHO he should be used like San Diego and now N.O. are using Sproiles. He should be returning kicks, and more or less a third down back. I know he was a top ten pick. But Freddy has only gotten better since that draft. Chan is going to work CJ in more and more. He has been holding back some of his play book. Lets hope he gets the chance this Sunday to bust it out. And CJ and Fred both get plenty of touches and keep Brady off the field as much as possible

Took a girl to the coat check room and found out she has a ten pin up her skirt- happens to the best of us.

I understand your pessimism. But your looking at the glass half empty. Campbell is not a bad QB. He is streaky, and when hot he is very good. McFadden is a great RB, behind a good Oline. Having said that, the Bills D looked average at best yesterday. Gotta to hope a few of the young guys progress, Williams being key. But the most important thing to take away from yesterdays game is the W. This team fought back and won. It is the NFL every guy on that field belongs there. The Raiders are no slouch. Fitz (who i am still a pessimist about, but it is a lot less today) showed he could be a gamer when it counted. Last year he threw a pick during similar situations. This offense is for real. The just had there way with a very good Oakland D. i get where you are coming from. Dont know how many times over the last several years i have uttered "just when you start to believe this year is different, they break your heart'. But for now i am 'enjoying the ride'.

Amen. This team plays best when they have a chip on their shoulder. If they keep winning eventually everyone will be talking about them. Chans agenda then is to keep them focused and ready to go. But they are all grown men and professionals. All Chan needs to do is pull out the press clippings from a few years back when the team went 5-1. NFL= Not For Long. You must prepare and show up every week.
