The Senator

Shhhh!!!!! I had a truckload of Sam Chandler jerseys made after yesterday's win - I'm planning to corner the market this Sunday.

No Zach Miller either - I really don't see how the Raiders are gonna score any points at all... Buffalo Bills 53 OakTown Raiders - 0 GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!!

Who's the highest scoring team in the AFC? (2nd overall - by one point - in the entire NFL???) I like the newer hotels, before the rooms get all smelly... JW Marriott Indianapolis

You're implying that, had the Bills lost this 'one game', Sully would have waited to write another blistering 'told ya so' column?

I was there, but I never get tired of re-living that AFC title game. One of the all-time great Bills games. The (LA) Raiders were still pissed at Buffalo from the early-season 38-24 pounding the Bills laid on 'em at Rich, and vowed it "would be different this time around". It was! link GO BILLSSS!!!!

But...but...I am right! (You started it - I really don't see too many 'I told you so' posts or threads, but I do see WAY too many 'Hold on, morons, it's only one game' posts) GO BILLSSS!!!!

"Hi Schopp, this is Bob from Depew. I have a comment, and a question, then I'll hang up and listen. "My comment is, I just want to say that if this is how you feel the Monday after a HUGE Bills blowout in a season opener in front of a hostile, sold-out Chiefs' stadium, it must really suck being you. "And my question is, just how much money did you lose on the game?" BTW... link GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!!

Sure hope you're right - the thought of Sully running down Delaware Ave in his underwear is nauseating (After yesterday, Fitz is on a 64-TD pace)

Chan Gailey

Ultimate trap game for a young team like the Bills - we're coming off a big and unexpected (by most ) on-the-road blowout of last year's AFC West division winners, and facing what most perceive as an 'easy' opponent a week before what most fans consider the ultimate early test of this young Bills team. (Very easy for the Bills to be looking past the Raiders, with thoughts running thru our young guys' heads of a maimed Marcia* Brady* looking up at the sky from her* supine position on the RWS carpet!) It will take all of Chan Gailey & Co.'s collective coaching abilities to keep our team's collective feet firmly planted on the ground and 100% focused on the Bills home opener. That's why I'm being much more cautious this week, only predicting... TOTAL DOMINATION Buffalo Bills 53 OakTown Raiders - 0 GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!!

I can't tell you the last time I read one of Sullivan's columns. So...no.

Hard to think of a single thing that wasn't encouraging! I guess, to me, most encouraging was that - for a change - the Bills coaching staff seemed to have covered every single base today, including the crowd noise. Penalties were at a minimum. Gailey had his team well-prepared on offense, defense, and special teams, was fearless in his play-calling, effectively countered anything and everything the Chiefs attempted, avoided the risk of injuries to key players once the outcome was certain, and completely out-coached Todd Haley. Hard to remember a game where the Bills players and coaching staff executed as well as everyone did today. Good for Chan!

The thing you have to realize about Sullivan is that he's from New England* (therefore, by definition, a fair-weather ersatz fan* to begin with) who admittedly is not a Bills fan - and, given the cynical nature of the typical New England* sports fan*, will jump right back off off the bandwagon at the first sign of adversity. Lurker's bird has the right idea.

Thanks Zulu/Hondo - I got a little over-optimistic on total yardage, but nailed the 4 Fitz TDs, and wasn't too far off on time of possession and Bills takeways... link One down, eighteen to go... GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!!

Excellent suggestion!

I expect Jerry's Monday column will be about the NBA lockout, or women's tennis. (As always, I will eschew reading it.)

Amazingly, the score should have been closer to 60-0! (The 2 Lindell FGs should have been successful TD drives, rather than try to score we 'took a knee' to end the half, late in Q3 Florence dropped a sure INT that could have been another TD, and we had our 'scrubs' in on offense for the final 10 minutes.)

I simply invoked the law of averages, i.e., I can't be wrong all the time! GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!!

Meh, I got lucky - the score shouldn't have been so close! The Bills blew several scoring chances and it should have been a shut out - but, given the abbreviated off-season to prepare, I'm sure we'll only improve as the season unfolds... GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!!

HAPPY NATAL ANNIVERSARY!!!! Cheers

Bills have allowed KC to stay alive - we should be up at least 35-0

19 and 0 baby!!!!! "I expect to win every one of them. I expect to be undefeated. That’s the way I’ve always been and that’s the way I’ll always be." - Chan Gailey

I would just like to say, in no particular order... 1) Great job, Bill - and, as always, look forward to your perspective throughout the season; 2) The NYPD and NYFD are the finest in the world - never take these people for granted; 3) I still think we should have drafted Ryan Mallet in round 3; 4) I hope like hell Chan does not hold back anything, even after we are ahead... Buffalo Bills 44 Kansas City Chiefs - 0 GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!!

GREAT job, Willis!! If I wasn't already 'souped thru the roof', I am after watching that... 19 and 0 baby!!! GO BILLSSS!!!! Soup is good food!!!!!

I'm always appalled at the ignorant morons who fail to shut up, stand, and honor the flag when the anthem is sung - or when some a-hole complains about not being able to buy a beer during those few minutes. This is what I say to those people... GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!!
