Chad Kelly marched Ole Miss on the opening drive for a TD.

And Goodwin is hurt. Unbelievable.

Great, two games....Two losses by 6 points.

Yup, 1 game....Let's quit. The perfect example of the general population's mentality on.....Anything. As bad as what the offense was, they were still within a play or two of winning (i.e., Darby's dropped "potential" pick six). The last two seasons Buffalo beat teams that were picked to do well (Chicago and Indianapolis)....After each game the general consensus was that we beat "playoff" teams. Fast forward in each season and guess what? Those teams sucked. Maybe, just maybe.....We played a good football team today. And we could've beaten that "good" football team. Take a breath. It's one game.

I agree Kirby. It's like they were trying to withhold part of next week's game plan (Thursday) because of the 4 day turn around.

Thanks, good job Chandemonium. I like the references to players of past! I wrote mine two years ago with a couple of Octoberfest, I just have to "tweak" it annually for the current year's team. This morning, I awoke next to my wife and said, "I've waited along time to say these three words to you." As she stared back, I rubbed her cheek, and I whispered, "It's Football Season." Smack! Go Bills

Twas the night before football season, when all through the house not a player was stirring not even at the Ralph, the jerseys were hung by the lockers with care, in hopes that Rex soon would be there; The fans were nestled all snug in their beds; while visions of touchdowns rushed in their heads; and Mama in her nighty, and I in my briefs, had just settled down for an end of summer roll in the sheets, when out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang to the occasion and oh boy did I "finish" the matter. Away to the tube I flew like a flash, making sure that I still had a good fantasy football draft. Picks one and two I only knew, that my picks were good through and through. When what to my wandering eyes did appear, Tyrod Taylor and the offense in high gear. With a chubby coordinator and speed roadsters in gear, I only knew Coach Roman must be here. More rapid than Tom Brady and his favorite boy toy, he whistled, he shouted, and called them with joy: "Now Shady, Now Goodwin and Taylor, On Sammy, On Woods, On Bush and Clay! To the top of the end zone to the top of them all! Now gain away, gain away , gain away all! And then in a whistle, I heard on the field, the hitting and tackling of the NFL shield. In distinct deminish, Brady ' s legacy is all but finished. Forever skewed is his game, a history tarnished in unsightly shame. Our time has come, this is our season, just wait and the Bills will win with reason. Vince Lombardi's trophy will meet a city leading to the falls and the rest of the country can suck Buffalo's big blue balls.

When a team has performed poorly for 16 years, coming off a year of high expectations to only go 8-8 (where the defense regressed), the top two draft picks go down, Marcel is suspended, etc.....It's easy for the media to stay "consistent" with the projections. That said, I'm with you. I'm excited to see the offense perform in year 2 and healthy. Although we're out the top two draft picks, I think the defense is going to surprise alot of people. Here's to a great season, Go Bills!

"I'd say that if Kaepernick hates America so much, he should just go to Canada. But he'd probably suck in the CFL too" @TimBenzPGH's Tweet: https://twitter.com/TimBenzPGH/status/769550066717720577?s=01

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/after-missing-kicks-struggling-bucs-kicker-roberto-aguayo-consults-mental-coach/ The 2nd round kicker is off to a rough start and is seeking help much like a pitcher that can no longer find the strike zone.

The way the past few weeks have gone, I'm getting the feeling that Marcel Dareus won't even play this year. It wouldn't shock me at all.

That's a great question. I don't have a "team". But I do appreciate their league and their fans that follow the game. I can actually watch the game....Which is more than I can say about other attempted football leagues. The CFL is a valid, established football league with a fan base that enjoys their game.

Toronto vs. Hamilton to open the season. Presently televised on ESPN News. Kickoff was at 7:30 Eastern. One week from tomorrow, we can say training camp starts this month. The CFL will get me through until preseason. http://espnmediazone.com/us/press-releases/2016/06/canadian-football-league-games-return-espn-2016-season/ http://www.cfl.ca/2016/06/16/cfl-espn-unveil-2016-us-broadcast-schedule/

Can he use his amputated arm as a club and beat quarterbacks into the turf....I mean, it is his arm.

Sooo, how much are we talking? I know, plenty of variables...But on average, how much per plate? If I have to ask.... Probably too much for me. Maybe on a really special occasion.

I agree completely, well stated. Today is about those that have given their all to sustain our way of life and country. Remember and never forget.

He admitted he made mistakes. One would think that a guy making as much as Mario would have been a professional and acted accordingly. Not that Rex didn't mismanage his personnel, but the play would've been better if everyone played as directed. How much better? Who knows. But it wouldn't have been that far of a drop in performance from the year prior. "This year", Rex doesn't put up with the nonsense. If he does, then....He may be a short timer.

I think Rex works harder this year than any other he's ever coached. He brought his brother in for what may be the final ooorrah with his Dad watching. This year is for his old man. I don't think anyone will it take more personally than Rex if they don't improve, especially on Defense. He feels slighted and embarrassed from last year. Although odd, his comment about being fully pregnant is spot on. Your on the train or your not. He won't accept behavior like Mario's, not this season.

The "media" is upset because their access was restricted, even it be only for OTAs. They often try to become apart of the story and they really hate being regulated. Hence, they jumped on an opportunity to lash back.

Unfortunately, it's iconic. Until we win the super bowl, maybe? Even when we win the super bowl, the sporting networks will still make reference to the four losses and show a replay of the missed 47 yarder. The entire super bowl week, with the media, will be about the 90's and the first 4 trips. I think the Bills are now like the Cubs. Most of America would pull for a Buffalo win at the Super Bowl, for the same reasoning that many would pull for the Cubs in the World Series. It's a great story line.....Lovable losers, having gone through so much, finally win a championship. I certainly would fly into Buffalo for the championship parade through Buffalo.

That hurts more every year when the drought is continued, knowing that was our most recent visit to the playoffs. And when the Bills make the playoffs again, guaranteed that the pregame will show a replay of the kickoff return (as a reminder of the Bills 1999/2000 post season appearance). The longest drought in the NFL.

Thanks! I pulled an old article describing the delay and near empty stadium announcement. Everyone thought it was over, and it was, but the refs reviewed and discussed the play after the network feed transitioned to other coverage. http://espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=310918002 Searcy had clear possession, he caught it with 2 feet down in the endzone, then the Raiders receiver placed his hands on the ball, a slight fight for possession occurred, in which Searcy rolled away with the ball. The debate was if simultaneous possession was observed, which would have resulted in a Raiders touchdown.....And that would have sucked - more so with a near 70,000 fans walking to their cars thinking the Bills won, only to hear on the radio that they lost.

That's a good business practice.

I wouldn't mind the 2011 win against the Patriots. Our hated rival, somewhat recent, and an exciting game/great finish. Not as appealing, but the week prior to this game against the Raiders was also an offensive explosion with a nail biter for a finish - Hail Mary in the endzone with possession awarded to the Bills as a Raider WR held a tight a grasp on the ball. I remember the telecast switching to the late game (because the Bills game was over), and I said to a buddy of mine, "This is done right? I mean, they said it was final." I was assured it was done. Yet, 15-20 minutes later...With the stadium empty, the refs officially confirmed the original call. Bills win. As it was told during the late afternoon game. Was anyone in attendance? Pretty accurate to what was described? I can only imagine the hate and disconnect if the call was overturned and awarded a Raiders touchdown for the win.

I've been asking myself the same question. Thanks for the input Promo. I decided today that the home opener, with Bruce Smith's number retirement, is my choice for this year's trip.
