Green Lightning

Chan probably had a reasonable expectation that our defense would not puke up yards in bunches to a rook QB. He probably thought we would tackle on runs and not give up 10-15 yards every pass. He likely thought that McLuvin may actually win just one jump ball. Maybe he thought we could now cover a TE. So far we have made Dalton and Campbell look like Brady and made Brady look average....I can't figure it.

The Bills D is ranked 27th in the league. Below us are Green Bay, New England, Oakland, Chicago. Good teams are giving up gobs of yards this year. What's different for us is we are giving up passing yards becuase our Run D is better (wouldn't know yesterday) but it is. A better run D is exposing our weak secondary. Many think we need LB's and we do, but frankly, unless we find a quality replacement for McKelvin, we need a CB. Let's hope the rook steps up. Now you all may want to jump on me but, we gave KW a big-ass contract and so far, he's been a non-factor. I figured with teams keying on Dareus, KW would be all-world. Hasn't happened. Where's KW?

If Merriman is only in for 60% of the D snaps, play Moats the other 40%. I think they are shieldling some sort of injury from Merriman. He still plays tentitive. That said, I saw at least two flagrant holds on Merriman that went uncalled. One of them was virtually a horse collar hold. He gets held regularly with no calls.

We p*ssed away a golden opportunity....of that I'm positive.

Since when does "our secondary sucks" and "we still can't stop the run" and our "O'line is suspect" qualify for excuses? The officiating was brutal and Merriman continues to be held w/no call frequently, but that's not why we lost. All that said, we lost on a last second field goal so what the Hell is OP's premise? Now we'll go winliss? I hope your 118th post is more intelligent that the 117th or stop starting threads.

You know what? F*ck Poz and who gives a sh*t if he makes a tackle. Barnett is worlds better and what's done is done.

Was thinking the same thing. Especially when he let Fitz do a keeper near our goaline. Really? Why are we shelling out $4 mil a year?

His coverage was generally good. He just lost every battle for the jump ball. What is it? Heart? Desire? What?

Blah, blah, blah, we're 3 and 0. Now you're p*ssing and moaning about style points. Merriman is fine and getting better every week.

On another thread there's audio of Buddy on a SD radio station. Listen to what he says about Shawne. I think he's been a huge upgrade over what we had last year and will find his old game once again. So relax and enjoy the ride.

This is kind of juvenile and shouldn't make me laugh...but it did.

Excellent. Well done. Hey Orlando, welcome back. And keep billieving.

They've had many years to figure out the Patriots Offense but few if any can stop it. The way to beat us and the Pats is with a bruising pass rush, particularly from the middle to collapse the pocket. That's why Chan is opting for big bodies on the O'line. But you're right, some team is going to figure out a way to slow us down and let's hope Chan figures out a response. I'm confident he can but in the meantime, let's enjoy this ride.

I never listen to Cowherd anyway as his grating voice and nasal raspings is enough to give a woodpecker a headache. He hates small markets and hates cold northern cities. Fine. Shut him off. I don't want him on the bandwagon anyway. Just keep winning and he'll sound more and more like the A-Hole he is.

Howard is the morning is great I listen all the time from Rochester, either over air or on my Droid. Schopp is a jerk and I never listen. I could care less that he suddenly "likes" the Bills. He's rude, full of himself and unlistenable most of the time.....so I don't listen.

Thanks for the civility PatsFan. Jets and Steeler fans are the worst and not to be a A-hole, but Boston fans in general have their moments. You guys have had things pretty much your way the past decade and I'll be first to say, victory aside, we're not there yet. But we are on the right road and we are going to surprise some teams (if we haven't already) Good luck against the Raiders.

I think this is the key right here. Hangman just couldn't handle the big boys and Wood is one tough mofo in the middle.

The office "Super Pats" fan at work called in with a stomach ache.....we're calling a mystery "Marcia" malady in honor of the awesome 4 INT day for MB. Funny, they didn't call in sick after all the other Bill's-Pat's games the past 8 years....

I could care less what those guys say or write. The less teams want to know about Freddy the better. Because they will continue to underestimate him and he will B'slap them game time. Fred Jackson is a gamer and winner. We got'em and that's enough for me. Now let's just pay the guy.

Beat me to it. After 47 years watching the team, the 0:00 clock is my favorite moment. Then I can look back other highlights!

Let's call up some Chan Gailey is a bum and came cheap threads as well. We have a old, bargain basement GM who is a asleep at the switch, a bum coach and a crumbling roster.......that just beat the Patriots and now sits on top of the AFC East. And none of this would have happened if Ralph wasn't so cheap!!!!!

Totally agree. I can't tell you how much I hated our D under skeltor. Every 4th quarter getting pushed all over the field and giving up 3rd and a mile regularly. And as you point out on the rare occasions when we were protecting a lead.....we'd give chunks of yards up in a BS prevent. The Brownies are gonna be hating life soon.

That's harsh and just wrong. Dickie plays the tampon 2 and there is no NT in a tampon 2 defense. He would want to put Parrish in as a penetrating DT or pursuit DE.

It was a privilege to see Phil play and it will be a privilege to be at the game when he is enshrined. He was a great player and defines class. I remember watching him in TC taking Erik Flowers aside and trying to school him on disengaging from blockers. Didn't work but he tried.
