Should fit right in with this offense...

It's too bad, because aside from that call, the Bills were dominating every facet of the game.

Bruce was a freak of nature.

Let's not be like the trashy, sports-ignorant Boston fans who blame their team's shared failure only on Buckner. Norwood is one of us, our lovable loser forever and always, and shares equally in the misery of four straight Super Bowl losses. More than anyone else, he epitomizes the ethos of humiliating sports failure in Buffalo. To paraphrase lieutenant Frank Drebin, four Superbowls and no rings might not amount to a hill of beans, but this is OUR HILL, and these are OUR BEANS!!! "We want Scott! We want Scott! We want Scott!"

No self-respecting Bills fan would under-appreciate Darryl Talley. I wouldn't consider him eligible for this list.

I felt bad for Moore on that last series of the game. It's total garbage time, the game is way over, and he gets obliterated on the last two plays. Once by Maybin, even. That they even ran a play with no time left and down by like 20 points is astonishing.

In all fairness, that schedule would have looked pretty tough a few months ago.

Why can't they go 8-0 at home? They already got their toughest home game out of the way (and won it). They are playing inspired football at the Ralph and none of those teams are exceptionally good.

I posted a while back in a similar thread regarding Freddie's age. I strongly believe in "old man strength", because I am experiencing it in my mid-30's. I think there's plenty of research out there to support the fact that men hit their athletic peak around age 29-30, and that it lasts a few good years. The problem with NFL players is they've been so beat up by then that it doesn't matter. They really never get to enjoy their true "peak". I think Fred is a rare example of an NFL running back who is reaping the benefits of his athletic peak, only because he was spared the constant beatings typically showered on a starting RB.

Warner was throwing for like 400 yards a week. Those Rams scored at will. Short of Freddie's Faulk-like performances, there is virtually nothing about these Bills that conjures images of the 1999 Rams.

Wow, the Bengals GM pulled a Jedi Mind Trick on this one. Unless Palmer has been sandbagging the past two seasons or so, this is one of the most one-sided deals I've ever heard of. Just stupid. They're going to give up two 1st rounders for a guy that probably won't be playing for them next season? Unreal.

Both defenses are missing a lot of good players. Should be a shootout, in which case I like the Bills' chances!

McGregor's on Jefferson Rd. in Henrietta has lots of space, tons of TVs and like a million beers on tap. I used to go there because I lived south of the city. But you could probably find a little more character in Roc City itself; not sure where though.

I'll take it - Jacobs is the kind of big, tough runner that can gash the Bills for a ton of yards. Glad he won't be playing! Tuck is a stud, too. Not looking good for Merriman at all. His achilles is starting to remind me of Hasek's groin.

Am I the only one who thinks Fitz actually has a pretty good arm?

Big Sky Conference in the house!!! I love how everyone immediately compares him to other white receivers.

Amen- Losing Perry was a sad consequence of the Jauron expulsion. He did a lot with very little talent.

The Bengals have a tough defense and the Bills are a work in progress on both sides of the ball (especially defense). It's no big surprise that they lost. At least they didn't get blown out. Bottom line; they are showing up and competing every week. They may not win them all, they may not even win enough to go to the playoffs. But at least they will go down swinging.

How did this become such a political thread? Can't we all, in the spirit of America, come together and agree that Hank WIlliams, Jr. is a third-rate country singer with two "hits" that both stink? It's time for a regime change.

Hank Jr. is a hack. Each year I turn on MNF hoping they finally got rid of his tired schtick, but no. It's time for a change. Give the gig to Hank III.

Wow, only nine Bills covers in the whole history of SI. I wonder how many times Tom Brady alone has been on the cover.

Freddy got jobbed!

I think it's always an advantage to have possession after the half. If your team is down, you have a chance to put those ever-important "adjustments" to work and get caught up. And if you're winning, it's a great chance to put the hammer down.

A couple of reality-based observations we should all keep in mind: 1. It's only been three games 2. The Pats game could have gone either way, let's be honest. If Brady only throws three picks instead of four, the Pats win because they score TDs at will. 3. The Bills have a serious depth problem and the injuries are just starting to mount. 4. The Bills' D has not inspired much confidence the last two weeks. 5. Buffalo is only a few games removed from undisputed suckitude as a franchise. There is still a lot of football to be played, lets not get carried away just yet.

Pretty bad list. Jets at #8 ahead of the Raiders at 14, who just beat the Jets' arse? It seems like all of these "rankings" cling to previous seasons' results for the first few weeks of the season.
