You're right , of course he had to use them, but I give credit to the head coach and the quarterback for not wasting any time outs earlier in the half. The past Bils teams always seemed to waste time outs. Either they were not getting the plays in on time and were forced to call time outs or the defense was confused and forced to use one. If they had wasted just one time out, they lose.

There was no planned celebration. It was pure emotion. To penalize the Bills on that instance would have been ridiculous.

Totally agree with this post. And where was the referee when Mario was being tackled on what would have been his 5th and a half sack? Where cam rolled out and completed a huge first down. Why are there no holding calls in these first two games against the other teams? But they call this senseless holding call on a 4th and 18 punt.

You might argue that they are wasting their money. I think Bills fans go for the experience. They are smart enough to know when their team is bad. They also realise that not supporting the franchise will ultimately mean losing it. Maybe that's not fair, but that is the reality. I think there are many in the league, like Jerry Jones and others who would love to move the Bills to a place like Los Angeles or maybe even Toronto, but it's those loyal fans who keep going to the games that makes it such a horrible pr move to move this franchise. Thos fans really do keep this franchise in Buffalo. They deserve alot of credit.

Seems like You might be the one doing drugs here. Do your friends usually hang out with idiots ?

"If I wanna win, I better go for it on 4th down. Wait, if I do that I might look like a bad coach...Punt it, Tom Brady won't drive it down, use up the clock and win the game "

What makes You think one week where the entire division "might" lose would give the Bills hope for a playoff run? What makes You think we will be winning enough games to be in a position for a playoff run? KInd of a silly post.

I wonder how I made it though the superbowl years

IInteresting take on how the quarterback can help a running back. Good point.

This is a good analysis of that game, except I don't think Talley was overrated.

You know what takes care of that issue? Winning

Penaltes, turnovers and the drop. Even after the penalties and turnovers, if Stevie catches that ball, the Bills probably win.

I was thinking that also. Gino's pro career seems to have been more successful too. We should have drafted Gino

And if they slowed it up and changed their philosophy in the fourth quarter and lost, you would be saying they got too conservative and that Marrone was another Dick Jauron. Do you forget how it was to have a conservative coach like Jauron? I haven't, and I say it's easy to second guess after the game is over. As thry say, hindsight is 20/20

Why don't we lament that if Bruce Smith had played today, the Bills would have won. The fact is, we know he is never going to play again. He is no longer on the Bills or in football. It is totally ridiculous to keep bringing Hernandez into the "what if" category when he is no longer on the Patriots nor will he ever play again. How about if superman were playing for the Patriots, they would have really killed the Bills? Or how about this...what if Gilmore and Byrd had played?

It's going to be a long year.......

Nowhere does it say that Manuael is going to practice "today". And, unless he is able to get in 3 quality practices next week, Tuel is the starter week one.

Correct, the NFPA has an obligation to fight for all players who paid union dues and are entitled to representation. AH has not been convicted of anything right now. If he fulfilled the contract stipulations for working out, then he should be paid. Kraft should know better.

I think the OP has it about right...5-11..........hope I'm wrong

\My sentiments exactly

How are You people watching the game?

I just hope he doesn't fire his agent and hire Eugene Parker

I don't think Sullivan has an axe to grind. I think he realizes, when your sports franchises suck, you have to use the negative angle to create a stir and some interest. He's smart. He knows there is no other angle to go at this from. I don't think it's about axes to grind, I just think it's his chosen angle so that people buy what he's selling. If the teams were any good, we could complain about his style, but they are bad, so how can we complain about his negativity. Especially when the professional teams here in Buffalo have made it easy to be negative, They are bad.
