4-3 at the bye.

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.

I stand corrected, looks like Nevada is cancelling all bets.

It sure would.

About the same chance as seeing Lee Evans.

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 second the nomination. We clearly should be modeling our D after Cleveland's.

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.

It's called Coaches Film and it costs $69.99.

Did Brad Smith run over your dog?

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.

8/27/12. I'll always remember where I was this day.

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.

If we just traded our 7th round pick how the hell are we going to draft the next Levi Brown?

There's a small clique of VY lovers out there that just got proven wrong and they have to vent.

I would. See ya Vince. Geico is hiring.

He was being shopped for a 5th last week. Hopefully we only gave up a 6th or 7th, he's got a $4M 2012 salary.

I still remember when VY freaked out and threw his pads into the stands. Strong arm.

No major injuries! So we got that working for us.

Shep looked better tonight.

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!

Yeah, and Nix was one of those scouts under Modrak that were the primary source of the Bills' board that season. Again, Nix wasn't on some tropical island for the past 5 years oblivious to college football. He was scouting for us for a year before he got elevated to the GM position. He was GM during the draft, it falls on him. For the record, I am a big Nix fan. If anything, the Troup situation just highlights what a gamble draft picks are. But if you're sitting here trying to blame the Troup pick on Modrak, you are in some serious denial.

There's no way any rational fan believes that Nix was using another person's board. That's completely preposterous. That draft lies solely on Nix, for better or worse. That was the beginning of our switch to the 3-4 -- Troup was drafted as a NT, Carrington as a 3-4 end, and Merriman brought on for our OLB. That was the plan anyways.

A back injury is tough on any player, let alone a guy his size.
