I'm sorry. The Titans are looking rough - 4 penalties on the Titans on one drive just letting the Ravens go down the field one penalty at a time. Looks like the Titan defense is trying to prove they're better than Ray Rays

I'm flippin, but starting out with the Titans/Ravens. edit: Titans were looking good moving the opening drive down the field. Ngata just tipped a pass and Ravens intercepted.

That's what I keep telling myself, as well. A loss isn't that big of a deal. I think going into the season we all would have readily taken a 4-1 start. That being said.... man, would 5-0 feel good! while we sit back and relax for a week. The Bills can definitely win this game. But, I don't think it'll be easy for them. The Cards are going to really want to win to get some confidence back. And after 2 weeks on the road, I see them coming out pumped. So, the Bills will, once again, have to survive the first quarter and then just continue to turn it on.

Yeah.. and Carter just picked Fitzgerald to be his game breaker. The guy definitely seems to think we suck ass. here's to proving that guy wrong. Just thing 2 weeks from now - how many people will picks the Bills over the Chargers?

pretty much

I think the Bills are beginning to gain some measure of respect. There have been numerous pundits throughout this week that have picked the Bills to win this week. However, AZ is not a fluff team and the the 2 teams are relatively evenly matched in many areas. Consequently, there have also been numerous pundits that have picked the Cards to win. Yes, we're 4-0; but they're at home. I expect a much closer game than many here are predicting.

Interestingly, James is ranked 12th in the league [71attmpts / 277totyds / 3.9avg / 69.2ypg] which places him one spot above Lynch who is at 13th in league [79attmpts / 275totyds / 3.5avg / 68.8ypg]. Arizona as a team, however, is ranked 25th [108 attempts / 348 total yards / 3.2avg / 87.0ypg] while Buffalo is ranked 20th [116attmpt / 408 totyds / 3.5avg / 102.0ypg] Apparently, Jackson is the difference maker as he ranks 42nd in the league and the Cards don't have a backup RB in the top 50. So, as a team, the Bills have an edge (no pun intended) in running; however, the Edge is marginally outproducing the Beast. Lynch does have 4 touchdowns to James' 2. Conclusion, I really think they try to establish a running game tomorrow. Hopefully, we're ready and can make them one dimensional.

Bask in the Chroise and you too shall see the boundless glory of our QB's salvation.

Bite your tongue before someone reads this and gives us a slug on the side of the helmets.

I'd cut the trees down.

292

Why would Manning even be on the list?

Nope. With all the money going to those overrated guys, we should have won at least 7 games by now. (Of course, I'm being sarcastic. I donn't want to be accused of using Crayonzian logic.)

Yep, we're building a rather impressive list of overpaid players: Walker Dockery Schobel Kelsay Reed (not so much overpaid as much as just being paid when he should be cut) Evans And one player that we should overpay: Peters (of course, once he's paid, he'll become overpaid) I just wish we could sign players that could win us some games.

What's that saying about you can't please all the people all the time? It is soooo true. Throughout the summer and training camp, we have to read post after post saying, pay the man, Ralph is cheap, the Bills are a farm team. Now, they pay the man and the other side chimes in - that's too much, he's not worth it, Ralph's overpaying. I really wish I had the time to research and track the posters to see who falls into which category. There's only one thing to not like about this deal - it's only 4 years. I wonder if that was what was hanging it up? Either that or the last month convinced the FO to pay Lee the money he was asking for. Lee is a key to our offense. Lee is a top wide out. There's no one you're going to bring in or draft that will fill his shoes in the short term. Why worry about the money? It's not ours and we're not in salary cap trouble.

Watched it, it was good... but it does indeed still hurt. A lot.

Like a moth to a flame.. I have no choice. I have to watch.

Statistics are a tool for interpretation.

I disagree here. They've dropped 2 in row now. They definitely don't want to lose a 3rd game with the Cowboys after that. A 4 game skid would be disastrous. So who is the easier team to beat - the Bills or the Cowboys? The Bills are perceived as a lesser team (like it or not). If I'm the Cards, I'm putting everything I can into beating the Bills to ensure they end the losing streak and get some confidence going into the Cowboy game. My concern is that we see another desperate team pulling out all the tricks to try and get a win.

Actually, if he has a bad game against an NFC team (Cardinals), that actually helps us. Therefore, he would get more money. So, if Lee is smart he'll have a bad game next week and pull himself out of the game by half time. What part of winning to an NFC hurts our playoff tie-breaker scenario don't you understand?

I would guess that lawyers will have the final say in that.

Ok... who answers that call? I would have turned my phone off and started raiding the equipment room.

To myself would work. Seriously. We need to hire a good accountant or firm or someone that can handle money. I'm just good at spending it.

We may be. Hurricanes are good for us. It's terrible to say, I know. I'm looking to replace some folks this year. Willing to live in the south? He's been on all sorts of weight loss programs and such. Doctor ordered and overseen mostly. You name it, he's done it. He's actually lost weight. So, getting him down to 350ish is seen as a positive sign.

As was posted, they stated during the MNF game that Davis would be interviewing HC candidates this week, but still had no plans to fire Kiffin. !?! Sounds stupid, I know; but I'm fairly certain that's what I heard. On NFL Network, after the game, they had the former Raider GM guy talking (forget his name at the moment, but he's on Total Access from time to time). He said while he was there in the late 90's, Davis liked to run the franchise through "fear". That each week, after a loss, he would have the entire coaching and FO staff thinking they would be fired if they lost again. So, his take was this Kiffin deal is no big deal for Davis. The only problem is that somehow this time it's gotten into the media. Seriously, who would want that job for anything other than a stepping stone to a real football team?
