They were. Still important though. IMO at least ?

To me it was a great win, but one that still leaves a few too many questions unanswered. First thoughts: Where was the edge pass rush? What's with some of the play calling (obvs with relation to the 3rd quarter)? Is Singletary badly hurt? If not, can we please use him more than Gore? Gore is still reliable, but I want more from the RB. And Singletery has it in spades. Will Ford get good, and soon? - though I liked his penalty protecting Josh But, we won. We won well. Allen looks the real deal. And we are 2-0. I don't care really how many questions there are outstanding, if we keep winning. Effing brilliant.

Excellent

Yup. Really, really nice.

Good hard running from Gore. Which is nice.

What a bunch of miserable looking Giants fans. That is such a shame.

Does seem like the refs don't like us. But though I am of course watching through Bills tinted glasses, it's hardly the first time . Frustrating.

Barkley is quite good at this football thing.

That's better.

Singletary looks like the player Christian Wade wants to be. So good.

Oh. That's not good.

I know we have had to endure a lot over the years, and it can make us very cynical and worried. But it's oddly negative round here. We are 21-7 up and therefore, you know, winning. It's still going quite well all things considered.

Mine too. It's a balancing act to not find out what is happening, but to stay involved in the conversation. Always feel late to the party when about to comment on a play that has already been discussed and moved on from.

Hope it's a good second half. Especially as I missed most of the first.

I hadn't even thought about it in those terms. I just assumed McD was happy enough with the score and knowing that we are getting the ball next half. Makes sense now you say it.

Thanks dude

No one? ?

Anyone? I mean I see the score, but like how are we playing?

Finally. Just in to watch the game. Anything interesting happened so far?

Prisco has been much more reasonable about us since we drafted Allen - who he adores.

My issue with PFF is more to do with their podcasts. With the Bills, they look at the negatives far harder than the positives. They seem to just not take into account all the game nuances - especially with Allen - and stick to their initial ideas about the players, like they are stuck in a narrative loop. It feels like an agenda albeit that I don't think it is. I think they just don't believe in the players or the team. The problem is resolved if we keep winning, in all likelihood, but it is more than mildly annoying.

I agree. But there really isn't any such thing as a power ranking without that. I thought the Hanzus' rankings were fairly fair. That's all. Otherwise our ranking is equal first. Which is fine. But not much fun.

Well, the teams above us in the rankings - and not the Cards (30) and Lions (27) - are the Bears (11), the Steelers (14), the Texans (15) and the Panthers (16). Doesn't seem that unreasonable. Steelers might be questionable after such a bad loss, but they often start the season slowly. I think arguments can be made for each of the other to still be above us, after close games against tough opponents. Besides, it's a power ranking. It's all only based on opinion anyway. And it's only one game in the season, and we did do our best to lose a game in the first half. I think it's a fair assessment.

Just, the D. The DL especially, but the D as a whole. Dominant. Impressed that Allen came back well, but mistakes were made.

Seems to me the biggest difference maker was CJ Mosley. He was on, we were poor. He was off, we were much better.
