Interesting. I didn't know that.

Where's the bad one? (out of curiosity)

If there's ever a game for running the ball and misdirection, this is it. Why can't the Bills see that?

bad weather at home... the Browns shove it down our throat while Gailey tries to get cute. WTH!

NFL Network saying looks like the game might be played in Detroit tomorrow night.

Watching tonight's game by any chance? Oher has had 2 false start penalties with Harrison lined up against him and Flacco's been sacked twice. I guess Oher's a bust as well. And BTW, Hines Ward dropped an easy 3rd down pass that hit him in the chest to end the Steelers drive late in the 2nd quarter. I guess bad drops happen to everyone as well. My point being that bad games happen to all players all the time. It's funny how Bell and the line can play pretty good ball for 5 or 6 weeks, looking as though they're improving a little each week. Then, they have one bad game and suddenly they completely suck and its like all the decent play never happened. You can't expect perfection every week.

of course.

I'd put Moats on the top of that list. No way Favre plays as good as Jackson did.

And against 4 of those teams (PIT, BAL, KC, and CHI) Bell seemed to hold his own pretty well. So I guess you're in the boat that one bad game cancels out all the progress that Bell and the Oline, in general, has made this year?

Are you seriously contending that every team has a pass rusher as good as Jared Allen?

What's their teeth got to do with anything?

Agreed. I was thinking throughout the game... how much I hoped Favre would come back into the game. Only with the Bills is knocking the starting QB out of the game a bad thing. That's the kind of season we're having.

It makes you wonder who's the cheapskate Ralph or Bills fans? It's funny how for Ralph being as cheap as he is, we have all these overpaid players on the team.

Step away from the edge. Let's not over react to a bad half of football.

that all looked entirely too easy. I guess we're gonna see just how much fight these guys have in them today because they're getting just plain beat and the Vikings are a little better than the Bengals.

3.5 of course

still no sacks given up by Bell

McLovin is trying to single-handedly give the game to the Vikings. Unreal.

I think you're forgetting the cardinal rule for being a Bills fan: when a player from any other team does it; it's gutsy play and trusting your receiver to make a play. When a Bills QB does it; it's a horrible decision followed by an inaccurate throw. (In short - whatever they do is right; whatever we do is wrong.)

Yes, Brohm looks great roaming the sideline. And how do you know that when/if he ever has to step in for an injured Fitz that he won't perform quite capably? He has every chance of stringing 1 or 2 good games together as a backup as anyone. I say he's doing his job well as a backup because he's not creating controversy; he's not trying to get on the field at every opportunity; he's not creating a problem in the locker room; I have seen him and Fitz talking on the sideline so I assume he's helping Fitz out; he's not costing the team a lot of money; and he's hasn't cost the team a high daft pick. How is any of that a bad backup? So, you'd rather use a top 10 draft pick on a QB? So now you have a guy making 10's of millions of dollars, who wants to be on the field, continually looking over the starter's shoulder; just so he can get on the field and maybe play as well as Fitz is playing now? Yes, a RT, DE, LB, etc. could be a bust; but isn't it better to try and draft for what the team actually needs? I'm not saying don't draft a QB because he might be a bust; I'm suggesting don't draft a QB because Fitz is playing well enough to be a starter. That is... we don't need a new QB on the team. Using a top 10 draft pick on a QB, at this point, is the very definition of running in place. We'd use a top 10 pick and (if we're lucky) get the same production for the next couple of years as we're currently getting from Fitz. Why not allow Fitz to maintain his level of play and use that valuable pick on a position that can help stop the run? So, I'm advocating building on what we've already got rather than rebuilding that which is working because we don't think Fitz is the answer; even though all relevant statistics show he is the guy. Yes, maybe this is a flash in the pan year for him. But, at this point, we've all been waiting for Fitz's play to tail off and him to get pummeled by defenses. Well... we're still waiting. I say Fitz has earned the right to be the starter and we should build the other areas of the team that desperately need it until he actually does start failing.

Are you suggesting that all tackles on a RB are made by the NT?

In all fairness, any RB rushing for 200 yards against this defense shouldn't be a surprise nor an indication of collapse.

I completely agree. And I'm guessing/hoping by his later comment that he doesn't want to be known for the wrong reason that he does get that. I suspect or hope that if he does score this week we'll see a little lower key celebration and twitting about it. I do like his energy and passion that he brings to the team, and wouldn't want him to get rid of that part of his personality all together. But a little reeling it in for a while to let his play speak for itself would be refreshing to see.

No idea where to even put this comment; there's so many Stevie threads; but just wanted to say.... I just watched his Wed. press conference and you just can't help but like this guy's attitude and approach to the game. One thing that really stood out was when asked if the subsequent hoopla to his tweeting would change the way he acts in the future (with regard to tweeting and all). And he acknowledges that it probably will, at least for a bit, because he's getting attention for all the wrong reasons. He always thought he'd get noticed for what he did on the field not for this other stuff. I mean... how can you not like this guy? The more I hear him, the more I'm proud to have him on the Bills.

Well.... some of us take a little longer to retain information than others. Don't worry I have faith you'll get it sooner or later. I agree... we'll agree to disagree. And that is what makes America and this board great. But in the end as long as we're all Bills fans and civil... it's all good.
