if we do these 3 things we will win.
Fitz needs to have a great game with no ints.
Jackson, Spiller and the Oline need to keep the chains moving all day.
We can't have Welker, BJGE, or anyone else running circles around our LBs and DBs.
I'd like to add that we don't necesarily needs sacks but we do need to collapse the pocket that Brady is so comfortable in.

Great post Senator

You should listen sometime. We're real serious about stats, figures, and schemes. It's not a fun time, at all.

I was going to read up on this but then saw that it was a woman that wrote it.

Colin Cowherd has been saying all week that he thinks there MAY be an upset. Wingo and Schlereth both said they think it's really hard to not want the Bills to win but don't think it's going to happen.

I love that speech so much. It makes me want to run through walls. Can we play it in the Bills locker room before the game please?

Leaping is when a player uses another player as a springboard to "leap" higher. I do not know if it applies to all plays or only kicks.

Hate to say this but I don't know why not every single person on this board didn't know it was inevitable that Parrish and McGee would be out by week 4-6? McGee has broken down more and more over his years and hasn't played a full season in what? 4 years? Roscoe has NEVER completed in a full season ever. It's clear McGee is broken and wearing down from all the abuse his body has taken from double duty as a returner a d a full time DB. It's also clearly obvious that Parrishs 170 lb body is too small and fragile for this mans game. The guy got a broken hand catching a ball a few years ago I mean cmon. This is the end of Roscoes career in Buffalo. He will not be brought back next year I'd almost guarantee. He'll end up like Dante Hall in a year or 2 playing special teams on punt returns. I'd guess they will hope McGee can male it back for a late season run but he won't be back next year either. It's blatantly obvious these guys can't stay on the field. And personally were better off without them and giving guys like Rogers, Williams, Aiken, and Rosevelt a shot at doing something for this teams future.

"somebody help!!!!! I was so excited to get a cheerleader and ended up getting stuck. I've been in here since last Sunday!!!"

I adamently disagree. You don't show this to your team. If they go watch it for themselves, fine. That was a different team, with a different coach. I see nothing good from rehashing that painfull loss, and throwing Leodis under the bus would be the worst thing Chan could do.
THE WINDS HAVE CHANGED!!! WE ARE MARCHING FORWARD!!! DONT LOOK BACK BUFFALO!!!! GO BILLS!!!
I agree to not show them this game. I'd rather Chan show the bthe Raiders game where we whooped on them 51-3. Or the Comeback game against the Oilers. Give these guys winning attitudes. They won't personally take anything away from that NE loss because most of them (McKelvin not included) weren't on this team then and wouldn't care. Just show these guys clips of fans storming the field, carrying the goalposts around the stadium. People partying like crazy during the Comeback game, climbing fences to get back into the stadium. Show these players what it's like to be part of something special. Make them WANT to beat the Pats. Make them want to get this town rockin again. Male them want to prove to the rest of the country that the Bills are for real and were not going to lay down anymore for anyone.
GO BILLS!!!!

You didn't get my email?
Made me LOL a bit. Woke my GF up

We have all the necessary ingredients to beat the Patriots.
1. Rushing game: we have the most rushing yards of any team in the league.
2. Spread the defense: we have enough weapons to keep them from stacking the box to stop the run.
3. D line: we have big bodies capable of collapsing the pocket up the middle.
We are going to get burned a few times. But in the end, I think our defense can stop them better than they will be able to stop us. With what should be a dominant rushing game to limit NE's offensive opportunities, I like our chances.
Man I really hope all of this stays true this Sunday.
Your right on all points brother.
GO BILLS!!!!

I agree. I can't fault anyone for being skeptical at this point. But, there needs to be some rationality. For example, if we lose to the Pats* this week; that doesn't mean we suck. It just means we lost one week to one team. And if we finish 8-8; I'd say that a nice improvement and definitely signs that the team is on the right track.
I guess what bothers me are the posters that only see the negativity. We're not going to go undefeated. We're not going to play perfect games. Players will get burned; they'll make mistakes. Problem is... too many people expect pro bowl caliber players at every position and near flawless execution. Anything less is somehow a sign that the team and/or a player sucks. This team is progressing; I would hope everyone can see that. Is the rebuild complete? No. Are we Play Off bound? Probably not. But, that doesn't mean we need to bail on the one QB in a decade that's looked good. Nor does it mean we will never be able to beat the Pats*.
I'm optimistic we'll win this Sunday. Realistically, I doubt we will. I've thought all along, that I'll wait until this team actually has 8 wins before I consider this a winning season. But, that doesn't mean I'm not optimistic that we can do it. It just means that given past experience.. I'll believe it when I see it. This team has shown a propensity to hang in there and score. If they can score 30+ points... they've got a shot to beat anyone. And that should be reason enough for optimism.
You hit it on the head. Were not going to be perfect but were looking good when we need to so far. The last few years (10 or so) we would have crumbled and lost yesterdays game for sure. This team and this QB brought us back and sealed it together as a unit.
Another point I'd like to make about the Pats game coming up is this:
first of all i'm extremely excited for this game to see how we rank heads up with them. It should give everyone an idea as to where we really are at this point in progression. And that brings me to my 2nd point. Everyone! And I mean Everyone! Knows how good the Pats are. They are considered to be one of the best 4 teams in the league along with the Steelers, Packers, and Eagles. Most teams lose to the Pats. I bet most of us think the Chargers are a really good team and they were destroyed by the Pats last night. If we lose that doesn't mean were a bad team. Even if we get killed it doesn't mean were bad. What I really want out of the Bills this week is to stay with them and make it interesting. If we can't win, so what. Just show us you can hang with the Big Boys.
Fitz is playing out of his mind. Jackson is looking better than ever. The Oline has managed to keep Fitz jersey from going to the laundrymat every Monday morning. Stevie has shown he can do it without the "so called #1" WR with Evans gone. The other WRs have been a pleasant suprise if you were extremely pessemistic about them in the preseason (some of us were not). Chandler has been great, 3 TDs in 2 games and we would have been suprised if he did that over the entire season.
Then the defense, Dareus is just NASTY. Williams is....well Williams. Barnett makes Poz look like a high school player. Florance has been good. Byrd has gotten better especially against the run. Kelsey is even looking decent and not completely incompetant. And Merriman hasn't shown up yet, when he does the opposing QB better watch out cuz he's gonna destroy someone.
And finally the coaching. Gailey has been able to keep this team humble. They didn't get too crazy about thier win last week and came back big after halftime adjustments yesterday. He has been able to keep the gameplan where it needs to be. We faced the first and second running teams in the league from last year and we stopped the run (at least huge upgrades compared to last years run D). The addition to the defense with Wanny has shown as even Kelsey is not being burned at the stake. The play calls with the good descision making of Fitz and his presnap reads has proved to be improved.
I can't complain a bit about what I've seen so far this hear. If you wanna get pessemistic that's fine. I won't say I told you so when we get to mid season, I'll be too busy enjoying the ride.

He is one of those guys many fans are for some reason enchanted with. I would guess because of his speed. He has never had more than 400 yards recieving or 3 tds including returns. (had 3 once his second year). He is one of those players we are stiiiiiiill waiting to turn the corner but there is always some excuse for why he hasn't.
The reason he slows down the offense is because we feel obligated to incorperate him because he is a "playmaker" but never really seems to make any big plays. The same reason Evans hindered the growth of our offense by catering to his one dimensional play for all of these years. Parrish isn't to the same effect as Evans because he is not suppose to be our # 1 option.
I can hear it already about how he has "so much speed" and "he makes the defense account for him at all times." These are the same people who thought the departure of Evans would really hurt Steve Johnson. The STATS don't lie. He is not a big threat on offense nor has he ever been. I would rather see a young player like Roosevelt get an oppurtunity. A guy who actually produces when he gets a chance, not someone living off his college reputation at this point.
My final reason to move on and one I have called for for the last couple of years is the purging of players from this roster who don't know what it is like to win. I think people are finally starting to understand that with the new attitude and confidence of all of the young talent and veteran leadership from players who are use to winning
Well, I should say that you probably knew the lashback was coming because Roscoe is so loved around here. I happen to agree with you. Just like I felt about Evans I have no idea why people love this guy so much. First of all he can't stay healthy at all which I predicted in preseason he would be broke by week 4. Second, he has never done anything on offense to prove he is even a legit WR. Just like Devin Hester he should have just embrased his return ability and tried to go out there and be the best returner there's ever been. Similar to Tasker on special teams in the 90s. You don't have to be an integral part of the offense or defense to male a difference on a football team.
I see why fans are in love with his potential to break big plays but cmon. He's never been able to do it consistantly. I don't wanna hear fans talking about last year either. They are the same people that loved Evans to death and say Eva s was needed to male Stevie as good as he was. Well, maybe all Evans did was make Roscoe. Good last year instead.
The young guys on this roster are big, tall, physical WRs. They catch balls thrown to them and make plays. Roscoe made ine TD years ago to help seal a victory and that's it. Unfortunately his career is summed up by that play as he broke his hand on the same play and missed the rest if the season. I expect him to be kept through the season but denied the ability to come back next year.
-
Oh, I thought you were going to talk about the Pats game when I saw this post. Your probably right. Sounds like he might be gone very soon. The team has possibly given up on him. I'd still expect them to keep him until the bye week though.
On another note, my prediction for Bills and Pats is:
31-27 Bills in a tough defensive game (at least for these high point scoring teams)
-
If we can keep playing well Berman will see to it that we get national props. He lives the Bills so much. He also was doing the 49ers game and said "Whitner, used to be a Bill, now a 9er, so you know I like him"
I love Berman

Good man Chronic. Your team played a great game today. It really came down to who was gonna get the ball last today. You guys earned alot of respect around here that's for sure. I've been a Raider fan for a long time as my dad used to like the Raiders also. I always felt if something happened to the Bills I would join the Raider Nation. I was at the 2nd last game of the season during thier SuperBowl year back a while ago. It was just as crazy as Ralph Wilson Stadium. Was against the Broncos and was loud as Hell. Anyway, have a great game next week for us will ya?!? I'm sure being your home opener you guys will be going crazy in the BlackHole.
Go Bills
Go Raiders (as long as it's not against us)

Ralph is Cheap
Eerie County is Cheap
The Bills Fans are Cheap
The Corporates in Buffalo are Cheap
Ralph is cheap? Negetive, maybe puts money in the wrong places but look at Kelsey, Dockery, Walker, TO, Spikes just to name a few.
Erie County is cheap? Maybe or maybe they are just confused how to run a city.
Bills fans are cheap? Even through the horrible Dickie J years we managed to break season ticket sales records.
Corporates are cheap? Ingram Micro, GEICO, and HSBC called, they want thier names taken off that list. One of the largest banks on earth, the 3rd largest insurance company that could have easily picked another city or state to have as thier east coast hub, and the worlds largest IT distributor that happens to be a fortune 75 company that I know for a fact they support the Bills and Sabres.
I'm pretty sure you were just being sarcastic. Just felt lime arguing this morning.

T Minus 11 hours and 34 minutes til kickoff.
T Minus 7 hours and 34 minutes until tailgating is opened.
Woooooooooohooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
GO BILLS!!!!!!

Will this be a stand all day game? It used to be only the playoffs were like that. But, the Pats and Boys games in '07 and Steelers game last year were like that (at least in the lower bowl).
If it doesn't happen tomorrow, I guarantee it will next week, if we are 2-0 going in.
My guess is it will be a stand all day game bat least it will be in the tunnel side end zone
-
Section 126 row 14 seat 15. Tunnel side end zone where Stevie will have 1 of his 2 TDs on Sunday. Woooooooohoooooooooo!!!!!!
GO BILLS BABY!!!!!

They were top 2 in rushing last year. So stop the run would be the biggest thing working towards a win. Make Campbell beat us through the air. If we can do that we can tee off on Campbell with the pass rush and bull rushes of Merriman, Kelsey, Dareus and Williams and let our LBs and DBs make plays. Doing what they do best.
On offense we need to keep a steady run/pass selection of playcalls. Make sure to keep the run at the right times but keep the pass going to keep them honest and turning over those first downs. Fitz is gonna need to be consistant again for sure.
We should win this ine by 2 TDs if all that happens. And send us soaring extremely high heading into week 3 at home against the Pats. If we do this and are able to defeat the Pats this year I see us turning things around this year instead of next year. I'd predict a 9-7 or 10-6 record with playoffs in our future.

Thoughts are with you and your family Lori

I'm not happy he was injured. To be honest he didn't earn his starting spot this summer. Williams even though young looked more promising and obviously a better long term answer. At the end of the day I'd rather Williams beat out McGee outright than any injuries. But I am glad we drafted Williams and believe he will be this teams shut down corner of the future.
What's up with us?

Well, I have been a season ticket holder and haven't missed a single home game since I moved back from Vegas during the Mularky years. Up until last year (because of my job) I haven't missed a single away game on TV since the Jim Kelly days. I stay at every game and NEVER leave early no matter how far they are down. I have been to games when half the stadium Was empty during the Van Pelt, Collins, Johnson years in the middle of winter when there's puddles of half slush freezing your feet solid in the front row of the end zones when we had no shot of making the playoffs. I bleed Bills blue. I BILLIEVE that every start of the season is a new hope and possibility for US to win a SuperBowl once and for all. I LOVE the City of Buffalo and know that when OUR teams are relevant, the City is rejuvinated and ALIVE. I BILLIEVE WE will make it to the promised land some day and I WILL be a part of it. I've been a supporter of this team my entire 32 years on this planet and I WONT give up on them. The only thing I want in return is to be acknowledged and told that we have the best fans in sports when they finally win. I want the players to BILLIEVE that with US fans bringing the noise each and every week when on Defense that WE can help them get the other teams offense off the field. I BILLIEVE that when US fans get LOUD and PROUD and sing the SHOUT song after a TD that the players get energized and FEED off of our energy. I am a BILLS fan. I am loud. I am proud. I'll always BELLIEVE in my team. I request SHOUT at every wedding I ever attend and love how it makes EVERYONE crazy because it's something we all have in common. I will be more excited than ever to have kids and pass on my love for this team to them, knowing that my Bills fan legacy will live on long after I'm gone.
GO BILLS!!!!!!
