You made the paper...congratulations??? You and everyone else who wrote in similar fashion should be ashamed of yourselves. I'm glad she made point to say that it was the minority of feedback that was of this tone and not indicative of all of Bills Nation. Personal shots about her being a woman, not being attractive, threatening her, seriously? Personally, as a Bills fan, those responses were embarrassing.

We've all heard the fantastic line coined by Berman "Nobody Circles the Wagons like the Buffalo Bills." But I wonder, does everyone really know what is referring to? I didn't. I always thought it sounded cool, thought maybe it had something to do with people jumping on the bandwagon when we started being good, but was never really sure. So I took it upon myself to do some googling and was pleasently surprised to find out what it really means and I thought I'd share it since I couldn't find it brought up before. The saying refers to the way the settlers/frontier people would defend themselves back in the days of the old west. When they were threatened by someone/something (most often Natives) they would arrange their wagons in a circle to form wall of sorts. They would keep inside the circle using it for protection and defense. Using this tactic they were able to defeat foes that seemingly would have walked right over them in a fight. So, using this in a football sense it really refers to three things. First, a victory that came after being down by a lot (i.e. the Houston Oilers playoff victory). Second, a victory against a heavily favored opponent that no one expected them to defeat. And finally, a season of success when no one thought the team would be good. So far this season seems to be the ultimate circling of the wagons. We have made two impressive 2nd half comebacks from significant deficits, we have also beat a team where hardly anyone expected us to emerge with a victory, and we are 3-0 when most (including myself) felt this was going to be another long, tough season with the possiblity of getting a #1 overall pick. I'm elated at where we stand now and can't wait for Sunday's again. Just thought I'd share.

I'm certainly not saying that you are not welcome back. But I haven't lived in Buffalo since 98. I've lived in Pittsburgh, North Carolina, Ohio, and now Indiana and I have never once considered rooting for the Steelers (lived there for one SB win), the Panthers (lived there during their SB run), the Colts (lived here for a SB win and loss), the Bears, the Browns or Bengals over the Bills no matter what. So, while it is understandable, forgivable and you are welcomed back with open arms; it's still a bandwagon move.

You, sir, are what I like to call a Bandwagoner.

Yeah, but he backtracked on that the next day.

Cirque du Soleil dons Bills uniforms for Halloween.

Meanwhile, Cowherd is tearing us apart. Saying we're a .500 team at best, that our wins haven't been that good and we've only beat a KC team where Cassel was injured and couldn't throw and 2 home games that we should have lost. What a dlck. I usually don't like Rome that much, but I'll be listening to him for the rest of the day today.

Man, if you're not excited now, when will you be? The season is about 20% complete, I think the discussion is warranted.

I agree. With the rookie QB and their power RB most likely out with a suspension I definitely see the DL and Merriman wreaking some havoc on them. 5 or 6 sacks.

Saw a fantasy football team named "Wilfork for Food." Thought that was pretty classic.

1. Bill flipping out on the sideline after Freddy's catch down to the one. Not only was it a great play by Freddy but Bill flipping out like that was icing on the cake. Despite was I've read on here, I believe what he was really aruguing about was that he wanted it to be a touchdown and didn't want a review. You can read his lips says "we want the touchdown." Ref basically wags his finger in his face and says, "ta ta ta, that's not up to you buddy." It was fantastic. 2. Florence's pick 6. 3. Lindell's kick...it was so short that it was virtually a lock, if it was longer and he made it it would be #1.

The Bills haven't had much luck at 1, 4, Sunday Night, Monday Night, Saturday, or any other time the last 5-6 years.

Can't believe they'll have a great shot of replacing Manning with Andrew Luck. Crazy. I think it's between them, the fish, Seahawks, and KC at this point. They all look terrible.

Definitely see either the Pats or Jets losing next week, hopefully both. We should win easily, but definitely cannot take anything for granted. With Vick supposedly out week 5, a 5-0 start is very possible. The Giants will be a tough one. There is no reason we won't be 4-2, could easitly be 5-1 and may be 6-0. I would have never thought we'd be so relevant this year. Awesome.

I think that if a defender was running down the field with their head up looking for where the ball was, they are likely to get absolutely laid out by one of the blockers. That was a pretty neat little trick, surprised that it's never been tried before (at least I've never seen it).

I like this. In the tunnel until 0:13, then they come storming out.

He just picked Buffalo to beat N.E.

I saw it at 9.5 yesterday.

Butter Face.

Exactly. It's not the odds that you will be hit, it's the odds that a person would be hit. Quite different numbers.

Thank a fire fighter or police officer today. They literally ran into hell to do anything they could to help strangers and I'm sure your local officials would do the exact same thing if an event required it.

How many times do I have to read posts from people who think they are clever making fun of someone who has sub-par grammar by doing things like: interchanging their/there/they're, two/too/to, or then/than switching "s" and "c" spelling phonetically It's not clever, it's just annoying. Some people suck at grammar, get over it and move on. As long as I can understand what they are writing, then that's good enough for me.

Pretty good, but that's a limerick, not a haiku.

Optimism is a good thing, but you have to be somewhat realistic at the same time. I'm completely optimistic that this team is finally moving in the right direction, but I'm also realistic to say that we are going to stink this year. Until we have an offensive line that can block someone we are going nowhere, period. Hopefully, this year's draft was as good as a lot of us think and we have another solid one next year and make a playoff push. Who knows, two or three good drafts and we may be a serious contender. The defense looked pretty serious when Merriman was on the field last week and hopefully that is what we'll see this year over what we did tonight, but the O-Line is in rough, rough shape. That was the worst defense in the league last year (sans Elvis and Miller). Fitzpatrick will be lucky to make it out of this season alive and Spiller has basically no hope of progressing with a line like that. If we are bad enough to get Luck, great, if not hopefully we are bad enough to get the best O-Lineman in the draft. I think Fitz would be a baller with an extra second or two in the pocket.

Cam's stats last year: 2854 yds, 30/7, 66.1% comp. 1473 yds rushing, 20TDs, 5.6 avg. Pryor's stats last year: 2772 yds, 27/11, 65% comp. 754 yds rushing, 4 TDs, 5.6 avg. Both large, athletic, and fast QBs with strong arms. Obviously Cam ran the ball a lot more than Pryor did but they had the same average per carry, basically the same completion percentage and passing yards, and the TD/INTs are not really that far off. Giving Pryor's progession from 2009 to 2010 where his passer rating rose from 128.9 to 157.9 it is very conceivable that he would come even closer to Cam's numbers (or even exceed them in the passing game). Now, the Big 10 is certainly not the SEC, no question, but to say they are being compared to one another because they are "black QBs that can run" is a pretty stupid comment (only brought up by you). With a solid season this year, it is very likely that Prior could have played himself into the first round of next year's draft (same as Cam did this year). I still feel a 4th is a good safe pick to risk. Do we really need Levi Brown on the roster?
