Exactly. Six games is hardly a large enough sample size to determine anything.

This is me. Over 40 years of diehard fandom and only one pro championship to show for it...the '86 Mets. In order of joy that winning "the big one" would bring me: 1) Bills, 2) Sabres, 3) Mets Bills: I was born in '63 so I don't remember the '64 & '65 AFL Champion Bills...just what I've read & seen over the years and what my dad has told me. As much as I love my other teams, a Bills championship would taste better than all of the others combined. The '90 squad that made the team's first ever Super Bowl was awesome. The feeling of that time after the 51-3 rout of the Raiders was unreal. I honestly never thought I'd see the Bills make the Super Bowl in my lifetime. Ironically enough, it feels that way again. If they ever manage to win one, I don't know what I'll do I'll be so happy. Ah, one can dream... Sabres: I loved 'The French Connection' line of Perreault, Martin, & Robert in the '70s. Losing the '75 Stanley Cup to the hated Flyers really sucked as an 11 year old growing up in Grand Island. I remember the buzz in school when they made the finals...everyone was pumped. The 'No Goal' BS game in the '99 Cup Finals still irks me to no end. The Dallas Stars? Seriously?? Mets: I was only 6 when they won in '69 so I don't really recall that magical championship. I did fall in love with them around that time though because I saw them on TV and loved their uniforms plus they were a NY team and Buffalo didn't have a baseball team. The abusive love affair may have actually started around '73 when the Yogi Berra managed squad lost in seven to the A's. The '86 Mets are my only salvation. An NLCS for the ages in seven against the Astros and a thrilling World Series win in seven over the then "cursed" Red Sox. The 2000 WS was awful because it was to the Cowboys of baseball, the 'Evil Empire'...the Skanks. Braves (NBA): I was a diehard Buffalo Braves fan until they left town in the late '70s. I followed Randy Smith's career with the Clippers & Cavaliers but the NBA was dead to me at that point and still is to this day. College: I am also a lifelong, diehard of Alabama football. My mom was from Mobile, AL and I've followed them since the Bear Bryant days in the '70s. They have become a powerhouse again in recent years and although I love the championships, I'd trade them all for just one Bills SB win. When I watch them, I do marvel at the precision & execution and dream what it would be like to see the Bills play like that. The most euphoric feeling I've had recently that even comes close to the SB era Bills and the '86 Mets is the 2011 VCU Rams men's basketball team, my alma mater, who made it to the Final Four. What an unbelievable run that was as a "mid-major", knocking off several powerhouse programs in convincing fashion. I'm really looking forward to their inaugural season in the A-10 this year. So, although, my teams haven't won much, they are MY teams. I love them through thick and (mostly) thin. They are like family and I'll never change my allegiances.

And Thigpen was his quarterback.

Why is Bowe unhappy with Jason Cole? Did Cole write something bad about him? This. Not only will Bowe cost big dollars to retain, he'll cost draft picks &/or players to obtain. On top of that, it likely means that one or both of Byrd & Levitre are gone. I'd like to have Bowe but if it's at the expense of Byrd &/or Levitre, I say no thanks. How about we stop with another asinine "trade Fred" proposal? Teams don't go with just one good RB. What if Spiller gets hurt again...who's running the ball? Choice? Please. And why would KC trade their best WR for another RB when they already have Jamaal Charles, Peyton Hills and a young Shaun Draughn? How does that help THEM?? Hardly "a fair trade". 'Retard Rodeo' 'It's hard to win trade in the NFL' Recapitulating, even!

Or pitching 'Soul Glow'...

I thought it was a 'stock photo' of Eriq La Salle. lol

The Overpaid Ovaries

Mario: "Another week, another blocker I can't shed..."

Seriously?? Grow up. It's a business. Everyone goes at some point. It happened to Bruce, Thurman, & Andre. Far more vital than Moorman ever was.

BB: "Chan...look at me. Please don't be angry." CG: "Whatever, Bill. You know all I ask is to be kissed before you f_ _ k me."

- New England* was only the 2nd team in NFL HISTORY to have two 100 yard rushers and two 100 yard receivers in the same game. - 580 total yards surrendered today. - 100 points allowed in TWO divisional games. - Seemingly no in-game adjustments when things start going south. What more do you need to see? - The same Rex Ryan coached D that lost 34-0 at home today? - The same Rex Ryan coached D that allowed 20, 27, & 28 points in its prior 3 games? - The same Rex Ryan coached D that carried the team to an amazing 8-8 record last year?

You've never seen that commercial before? It's been running for quite a while now. I'm sure Dareus is in it only because New Era is headquartered in Buffalo. Still cool though.

Weren't you paying attention to the OP? Stevie was studying film...he was at the movies.

Funny, how short people's memories can be. KC started 0-3 last year including blowout losses to the Bills & Lions, 41-7 & 48-3, respectively. From Week 4 on, they finished 7-6 including 3 losses by 7 points or less (one in overtime). A win is a win. Period. Nobody deducted points from New England* for beating the Bills last year. Every win counts, no matter the opponent.

I definitely don't have a problem with that and I wasn't trying to argue. In fact I agree with you 100% (bolded). I'm sorry if it came across that way or you got lumped in with the other poster who, based on his few posts, seems to be uneducated in the ways of football at best or a troll at worst. Your posts are usually coherent & well thought out so I'm sorry for the crossed-wires. My bad. I can't stand how there always has to be an all or nothing "camp". The "Freddie Camp" vs. the "Spiller Camp" or this guy is great, that guy sucks. If they're on the Bills, I want them to do well so that the team does well, regardless of who they are or what position they play. I want this team to have as many good players/playmakers as possible. I love that the Bills are in a position to have two backs of their caliber and FJ's injury made me sick for him, the Bills, and the fans.

Is Chris Johnson's size an issue, too? Can he not hold up as an every down back?? I love how people blindly bring up Spiller's size like he's some smurf/scatback. Check the facts. The Titan's Johnson is 5' 11", 191 lbs. Spiller is 5' 11", 200 lbs. Johnson has done just fine. CJ's size is fine for an every down back. Neither one has been injury prone. Jesus H, get a clue.

Franchise record for points scored on opening day by the Jest. Congrats, Buffalo.

Freddie might be about to be 'Wally Pipped'. CJ looks phenomenal. A lone bright spot in this cluster f' of a game.

When the hell was Tom Seaver ever their 4th QB??

NO-BODY...circles the bandwagon...like the Buffalo Bills!

I doubt it. They had him once and let him go. It's not like he's improved...he just keeps bouncing around the league.

Wow! That's brutal. Odd thing is, in the video, the other knee/leg looks like it's bent just as badly, if not worse, than the one he's clutching.

Sirius NFL Radio reported tonight that the ACL was in tact. Torn MCL, dislocated knee cap & torn patellar tendon. Expected to miss 3-5 months.

After last night, there's no doubt that Moorman is the Bills' punter. Nice knowin' you, Powell...good luck in your future endeavors.
