The Monday before the Raven's game my wife found out that a funny looking mole was melanoma. That Friday she had surgery to remove a thumb sized piece of her shoulder. At that point my nervousness about the Bills game changed as you might imagine. Two days ago we got word that the melanoma had not spread beyond the original margins. You can imagine the relief and I feel so blessed. This whole episode has brought me some serious perspective and made what happen to the Bills relatively inconsequential. The draft will be here soon, training camp and the season opener and I'm looking forward to sharing all of those with my wife.

We've all been wondering when Bass costs them a game. I think its Sunday. Denver 31 Bills 28

I made the mistake of booking a surprise trip for my wife's 65th Bday. When we got to where we were going and I put the game on she said "weren't not sitting in the room watching the game on my birthday are we? (She's from Philly and not a FB fan)." I said "no, of course not" and we went had tea and cookies, dinner, etc. So my not getting to see the game was why the Bills won.......I think.

Go back to the come back game - Steve Christie executed a perfect "suicide" onside.....

I suspect the Lions won't have to execute at peak performance for 58 minutes to win. They just need to run, run, run the ball....and I hope like heck I'm wrong.

Because?

The offense did almost all they could to win this game. The defense did all they could to lose the game and guess what, it worked. Detroit might get 500 yards on the ground next week.

I abandoned my "mental patient rocking" (as my wife calls it) and just watched the game as a disinterested 3rd party.....hey, it worked......

I'm wondering if the NFL brass are at all embarrassed by the game? The officiating was brutal for both teams and to your point, no flow, very hard to follow on TV or in my case, TV with volume down and WGR up. I thought Eric Wood was going to jump out of the press box.....

"My dog ate some rabbit poop and then seppukued all over the rug and now my wife wants to commit hari-kari...."

Can't see any way the Bills secondary stops the Dolphins receivers and don't think the Bills DL can pressure Tua enough to make a difference. Miami - 31 Buffalo - 17

Well, who knows? Not anyone here. Wasn't Andre Reed a 4th round pick? Maybe the kid will pan out.

It seems pretty simple to me: The team controls their destiny, they don't need to rely on other teams, they need to strap their helmets on and go out and play the kind of football they know they are capable of playing and kick Miami's wet, slimy butt.....if they can't get themselves prepared and ready to play a game this meaningful against a division opponent then they don't deserve to be in the playoffs.....that's how I see it.

Found this on the Interweb so it must be true: The Buffalo Name Theory industry had a good year in 1863, perhaps inspired by a disagreement with Fillmore’s speech. Three new theories appeared in print courtesy of William Ketchum. The Seneca Named Buffalo theory (1863) is one of them. An old man whose Seneca name meant “Buffalo” lived by the creek. White settlers found him there, learned his name and its meaning, and so named the creek. Plausibility level: High The creek in question is Buffalo Creek....

Yep, the Bills have won the last two regular season match ups.
