Bills win 35-31. Brees throws 4 TD's Buffalo scores on special teams & defense. You can't stop Brees, but N.O can't run the ball and has an average defense as well. 2-1 heading into Miami......

Fans stopped going to Jags games 3 years ago....that's why the tarps cover the upper deck. They have an awful team in '09. They're staring at 4-12 and Tim Tebow to save that franchise. Good Luck!

I would love if this was in reference to signing Jon Runyan. Butler may be out for a while after that roll up yesterday. Can anyone find a link on Runyan signing?

That's the NFL's way of saying...he can't get open or he's horribly over-rated. I watched 75% of that Tampa/Dallas game thanks to the free preview of Sunday ticket on DirecTV. Leftwich is awful. The Tampa D is a shell of what it used to be. Bills win by 7 or more....

Yeah right. That was an undisciplined player making a panic decision under tremendous pressure. The Bills breed mediocrity and losing. Hands team was out there....never return in that situation from your end zone.

+1 Maybe all the Jay Cutler bashers should watch some film first. On 3 interceptions, the WR/TE either stopped or altered their route while the ball was in the air? You can't pin that on the QB.

Thanks for starting as useless, overplayed, dead-horse beaten topic... Peters is god of all NFL LT's....we should all feel blessed to have had his fat, lazy, selfish carcas in Buffalo for a few years.

Both defenses are excellent overall. It was a stalemate all night. Titans lost Haynesworth, but are still a top 5 unit. The difference was Ben Ro's ability to extend the play and create a positive gain from nothing. His passing numbers weren't from 3 yard checkdowns.....363 hard earned yards.

He also said this: "They have the weapons. I don't think they have the ability. I'm not going to knock what they're trying to do ... I guess I am." Not sure what that means? The biggest draw back to the no huddle would be a quick 3 and out repeatedly. The Bills have offensive skill players in ample supply. If Trent can find his nads and push the ball downfield a bit, this could be pretty exciting.

Garbage stats. You can pull the numbers for any #1 WR in this league and they match up bad with someones defense. Probably the Patriots... The Bills problems still remain the same since Evans rookie year in 2004 (until T.O.): Absence of a true NFL caliber QB. Absence of a legit #2 WR. What else can you blame Lee Evans for?

Pretty tough to get consistent pressure with a 3 man rush. The Steelers O-line is sub-par. Pittsburgh wins in spite of the O-line, not because of it. They couldn't run block for Parker/Mendenhall against a Titans D-line without Haynesworth all night. They had a hard time in pass pro the entire game (minus the 3 man rush scenario). The Titans should have fired up a few more blitzes along the way. I realize Ben holds the ball anticipating the big play down field. Sometimes it works, sometimes not so much. The sacks in that situation are on the QB.

As I'm reading replies, I see 1-3, 0-3 and 1-2 starts. Is it safe to assume most on this thread are predicting a 4-12 or worse 2009 season record? The team is young with an unproven, talented O-line. They're not the 84-85 Bills for Christ' sake! This team wins 6 to 9 games this year. There is talent here haters....

I was just thinking the same thing. Haven't heard or seen an update yet. No reports from Chris Brown on BB.com. Maybe some second rate internet site will break the news later this afternoon.

Nice try. Thanks for insulting your entire audience while you try to amaze us with your NFL insiders knowledge. The guy is a little undersized at 300lbs. Not sure what position he is...LG, RG or C http://www.kcchiefs.com/player/darryl_harris/

Just looked at my Panasonic Viera 50" plasma in the living room last night and thought..... how good would a 70" plasma look right there? No need to upgrade to a 60", it'll be 2010's version of yesteryears 42"

Bills will be 2-1 heading to Miami in week 4. Your doom-n-gloom is ridiculous.

I'm looking forward to seeing throwback AFL unis on Monday night....and Tampa coming to Buffalo in week 2. Monday night in N.E. has 20 point blowout written all over it.

Yes. Runyan is a great RT. 9 years without missing a start until the '08 season. If he has fully recovered from microfracture surgery on his right knee, he is a better option than Levi Jones.

YES! If the Bucs came to Buffalo week 1, the outlook would be more optimistic.

What? 33/43 & 363 yards against a solid Titans defense is a little more than alright. Ben single handedly saved 12-15 plays with his feet/toughness.

The Steelers offense line is average at best. They can't run the ball, can't pass protect (except against a 3 man rush) and generally had an awful night. Why the Titans only rushed 3 and dropped 8 most of the night is baffling. Whatever Ben Roethlisberger's salary is, it's too low. If he isn't 245 pounds, he gets sacked 9 times by my count. The Titans were only credited with 4 sacks on the night. Ben Ro's ability to avoid the rush is pretty amazing for a big guy.

What is over? Please explain how a 24 year old MLB in his second full season in the cover 2 has no future. If you don't like the guy, come out and say "I don't like him". Instead, you go on a Ralph Wilson style rambling about '06, Mangold, Whitner and kool-aide? The bills passed on Cutler in '06 because they had a young QB already. Not sure what the obsession with Ngata is. Is he a legit 4-3 DT or an over-sized 3-4 end? McCargo is a garbage pick...no way around that. In hindsight, Mangold was the pick in '06. In hindsight, the Bills trade up for Ben Ro in '04 and the JP experiment is Pittsburgh's problem. In hindsight, your dad pulls out and I'm spared from having this incoherent conversation.

Bell will start. The Bills think he's the second coming of Peters. I just hope he can deliver the mail like his estranged pops..... http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-3...db-7fde175ee3c8

Holy depleted offensive line. I'm all for turnover, fresh faces and youth in the NFL.....not 6 days from the season opening ass whooping though.
