Didn't think we'd beat the Jets, although that was a lot worse than expected. I'm still on the 10-6 train.
Should be some epic crying this week on the forums.
A fair assessment.
We have trouble selling out with the cheapest tickets in the NFL and play a home game in another city.
This fanbase needs to get over its inferiority complex.
I hope I am wrong but I just don't see us winning this game. In recent years the Jets have been a bad match-up for us, and winning the home opener on the road just makes things tougher.
Jets 20 Bills 13
The worst part about this is that every forum moron is going to come out of the woodwork with the "same old BIlls" threads. Ugh.
First of all, Vince Young is not our backup and never was. He was brought in to win that job and failed. Thigpen won't be jettisoned until after the 4th preseason game, and I would love to hear why that is a bad omen.
There's only a select few idiots in the thread, and those are the Disciples of Young that are now butt-hurt that they were wrong about him, and are venting like children.
That's a great play for sure. But showing him make one play doesn't illustrate the other entire games where he was silent. When I said you couldn't notice him on the field, I didn't mean it in the literal sense (I thought that was obvious). I can link you a video of Trent Edward throwing a perfect TD pass - what does that accomplish?
I see this posted all the time, and I think it's laughable. Fans throw the "meaningless preseason" phrase around whenever it conveniently fits their argument. Do these games count toward the standings? Of course not. Are we running vanilla schemes? Sure. But playing in a preseason game isn't an excuse for poor tackling. It's not the reason why a LB gets pancaked by a guard or smoked in coverage by a fullback. Preseason is the time where many starting jobs are won and lost. Try telling the 40+ players that will be cut this summer that these games are meaningless.
You're right. Nix probably never heard of him before draft day. I mean, he was only the GM. How about we just blame Jauron, reset Nix's draft day batting average to 1.000, and call it a night?
Exactly!
