I think the opposite, kind of, of Spiller. I would like him off the field more. He kills drives, he just does. Unless we are running plays where the goal is to get him in space to do what he does, he doesn't belong out there. If the play is running between the tackles, or leaving a back in for pass protection, he has no business. He would thrive in a system that gets him more screens and outside plays. If the goal is to get Spiller the ball more, we need more of these plays, not just keep him on the field for the sake of it. I am not sure why we didn't get Fred involved more yesterday. He was the better grinding back yesterday.

I think the OL struggled at points, rattled EJ early, and played with footsteps in his head the rest of the game. I thought that even though we won in Chicago, EJ left me with some question marks. I was really optimistic after the Dolphins game. He made some great reads and throws. This week not so much, and I think he played rattled after the first series or two.

Out success in the running game is largely over rated by a break or two in the run game. The fact is that we don't run the ball well enough to sustain drives regularly. Because of this out offensive identity is flaud.

These are finely tuned elite athletes. The average person may not find any success. It can take time to get your feet back underneath you. As a former national teamer I don't particularly travel well. At the last national championships I went to, it took me a race in the heats to back in the groove, and got embarrassed. That wasn't uncommon for me at high level races because the margin for error is small. Long story short, I won the event handidly, and every bit of my first race was due to my bodies response to travel. Some athletes will travel better than others, but to deny that such a thing exists is inherently false and ignorant. It exists, and different athletes see different effects, but traveling can be rough on elite athletes. You see athletes for Olympic and World Championships head just outside the competition site sometimes weeks in advance. It's not just taking time on a plane, there is lactate build up, scheduling, and metabolic rate that all get thrown off, even if by a small amount, it can be detrimental to performance.

I am sure Brady will hit his stride at his first game about the Bills

I've been thinking about this recently. Russ Brandon might be a great choice. He's done a great job marketing and representing the Bills even though we've been a Shite Hole. He may not have been good at football operations, but maintaining a positive image and marketing the organization has been a job well done.

If Tampa will give us Lovie, McCown, and a 2nd, just to get them off their roster/staff I think I'd hesitate to pull the trigger

I hope Atlanta keeps their starters and tries to push the 100 marker. They've left points on the field.

Christ, at least the Schiano team played hard, fast and aggressive. Somehow, someway Tampa has regressed, and in no way am I jealous of Tampa bringing in Lovie. Marrone may lose his job and fail, but he isn't this.

Because beating the shiiiite out of your 4 year old with an effing stick is a lot different than clipping a drunk girl dancing in the rain. Not to mention reports are that this could take nearly a year to sort out. Everybody is calling for the NFL to wait and see. For what? They saw the pictures, he even admitted it. By all means take those pictures to your current employer, tell them you did that to your 4 year old, have been indicted by a grand jury. See if they wait the year for your legal proceedings to be wrapped up.

Rain worries me a little bit. I think it was Dan Marino I heard say, that when weather gets bad, he likes to throw the ball because you think he can't or won't. Also defensive players are reactive, so the WR has all the power in tough turf conditions. Rivers is the type of guy that would love to try and shred a defense with his arm on a bad day.

1. Pictures 2. The NFL is not a court it is an employer.

That Chandler throw was a great play by both the TE and QB

He was on Wallace like white on rice for sure, but it was a very (early) McKelvin like play. Not saying he would have defended it, but he could have turned his head around, and looked for the ball.

So I want an ass whooping victory. So does that mean I stick with the 400 LB Monkey, or make the switch to a third beer. The lesson learned here is to keep drinking IPAs.

I do, don't chance it. The Zubaz and Jersey go unwashed until a loss. Same with game day food. Stays the same if they win. I was upset that the Village Beer Merchant was out of the Long Trail Limbo from last week. I went with the 400lb monkey from Left Hand. Now I don't know what to do, do I stay with the 400 lb monkey, or switch because I switched from week one to two? Life is hard

What is interesting about this is that last week the Bears also double teamed Dareus and left the rest of the line one on one. Lock the big man up long term!

We aren't every good on first and second down. Not sure what the stat is, but last week we averaged 3rd and 7 and change. We really put our young QB in a tough spot doing that.

I honestly don't know what to think of the Packers right now. They may turn out to be a very beatable team. I am a big Rivers fan. I am hoping they come cross country next week and overlook us.

I can see us going 3-3 through the first 6 weeks. But then there is room for a solid 4-6 game run. That will be when we can get excited. Does the team have the fortitude to come back and be strong mid season?

It was a very iffy play. Bills got it because it was ruled a TD. Had it been called at the 1, it would have stayed there.

If Bon Jovi won the team he would be given season tickets to the new Toronto team

I totally agree. The team coming out and the alumni stuff should have a bit of separation.

I watched that trying to keep your narrative, but boy it took me a strong dose of ignorance to see it that way.

Scariest part about this week for me is, it's a game the Bills traditionally find a way to loose. It's tough to see us losing. That's the biggest fear. Ha
