SF Bills Fan

He is right about some things like the O-line, but I would not say that this is one of the least talented rosters. You could point at the Patriots and say that outside of Brady, they don't have a talented roster, but they have players that fit their system and execute it well. Is that not how the Bills did it on defense last year? He even says so. Anyway, I like when the media aligns against us. "Us against them" is what fuels the players will and desire.

I can’t recall that game and that is weird because I remember most and I’d certainly recall that one. I think I’m just getting old and my memory is going. Thanks for the putting that up!

I would bet big money on the Bills not going 0-8. I would not be surprised if we beat Baltimore to start off. The Bills defense will steal some games and surprise people.

I am sure that a lot of people would put Buffalo at the top of a dull NFL city list, but I think when they come to visit people are very surprised that Buffalo is not what they perceived it was going to be. I do think you need to have somebody that knows the city to show you around in order to have a good time though. I have been to a lot of NFL cities and I think you can find fun things to do most anywhere. I’m pretty good at finding stuff to do. I will say because I live in the bay area that Oakland is not really dull so much as it is intimidating in some areas so the perception is that it is dangerous and there is nothing to do. It definitely gets overshadowed by San Francisco. One thing to note is that the Niners play so far south that it’s almost as though San Jose is their home city now. San Jose is pretty bland.

I've hung out with him a few times over the years- great guy. I hate to say it, but the cancer has spread well beyond the spine issue and he will need a lot of help. I've donated before and will do so again. Every dollar counts! Damn- I just checked the site and made a donation again. The number is moving up fast. Let's get this thing over the finish line by the end of tomorrow!

This scene couldn't be more Buffalo. Perhaps if there was plate of wings somewhere in there.

Wow- great analysis. It is interesting when a figure if a billion plus for a new stadium in Buffalo gets used, but I agree with you that it won't be nearly that much unless it's part of a larger complex. I'm not opposed to a full rebuild/rehab of New Era like Arrowhead underwent.

It is a great day for Buffalo sports- we will get Dahlin- a game changer defensive player. Glory hallelujah! We deserve this!

This analysis makes me feel more worried. This analysis makes me feel more worried.

Every team gets a Thursday night game

Best post. I get it. This was is one of those cosmic things where a sequence of events align and it's eerie and doesn't seem like it could possibly be coincidental. Ive had it happen- you feel like the universe designed this and it means something. This rosary thing will now be all I can think of when I see Mccarron out there. It was his wife before but she is now #2 to the rosary thing.

The spotlight in NYC is great when things are going well. If not it's tabloid and NY Post hell that you can escape from.

Agree- the defense is very good. They also had some key offensive players out on WR. I believe the Jags will be good for a while.

Ha! That's how it should have looked last year and also against the Seahawks. It's astounding how lucky these undeserving slobs have been. I can't wait until the day we pound them into oblivion regularly. There won't even be anyone at the bar.

A bunch of whiny entitled slobs. Nice to see them exposed when they they don't get the calls. No long unwarranted game changing PI calls. The reign is over.

If the Bills ever win- it'll be frightening to see what happens.

His reasoning is not off. With a rookie QB we might not have a great year. I think our D will be good enough to compensate so I'd say we'll be close to the same record again.

I don't hate the Jags whereas I really hate the Pats. I'd like the Jags to win this weekend and then have the Vikings win the whole thing.

Thumbs up

Sounds...vaguely ...familiar......

Pittsburgh, Minnesota and Buffalo all at the same level which is interesting for teams with hardcore fan bases, successful teams (more so Pitt and minn right now) and Minnesota has that awesome new stadium. I'll point to our snow game which probably didn't help the attendance figure. But that seems low for us and few other cities.

When the Bengals scored, I was standing outside the Bills bar in San Francisco watching through the window ready to trudge home. I was full of skepticism, but the flags on the Ravens and the go for broke attitude of the Bengals had my attention. They scored and multiple people ran out to hug me and I thought I was going to get knocked down and actually hurt. It was mayhem. There was something like 44 seconds left, so I was still very wary. After the Bengals-Ravens game ended, I was still worried something weird would pop up and we wouldn't get in. I'm trained to expect the worst after all these years. Maybe it is time to throw away my skepticism? It seems like the curse is now broken.

I think we can win this game. The Bills are riding an emotional high right now, I think the Jags are flat. After that, we are done. But good things are to come. I think this is the beginning of the ascension of the Bills to a top team.

I'm not too fearful of Bortles. Our secondary could have a good day. And I am worried about our run game which will be significantly depleted against a very good run defense on their side. We will need to rely on Taylor to win this one. We will probably employ extra blocking and run a power scheme and hope to win a turnover battle. My guess is low scoring and we have a shot. Hauschka better be ready.

There were grown men openly weeping at the Northstar Bills bar in San Francisco after the game(s). It was a big day. No shame!
