Forget points allowed. Our defense rarely takes over a game. Miami only scored one touchdown, but moved the ball when they needed to the entire game. We still need upgrades on defense if we want to compete for anything other than last place in our division.
One of the few times that our D did take over a game was against the Jets when Poz caused a bad pass to be returned for a TD. Of course, the D gave the game right back on the next possession ... letting the Jests to drive right down the field.

I'm done......the Buffalonian in me knew I was going to get F'd out of that call somehow. How does that not SCREAM a fix? The outcome of the game was the same no matter what. After the goaline call aginst Stroud followed up by the phantom illegal onsides kick last week....now this....too close for comfort. 90% of the Refs must have houses foreclosed on.
Really.....take the fun out of it by pulling junk like that.
We need to get over the onsides kick call ... it touched our FB's hand ... I didn't think so the first few times that I saw it, but on the NE endzone shot in HD, it definitely hit his hand. OTOH, it should have been reviewed simply to make sure they got the right call considering the confusion by the refs on the field, but it was the right call.

Welker's done it before, too. I know it's already been asked and answered, but here's the official out-of-bounds rule:
And because there is no specific exception for a free kick -- perhaps there should be? -- the call was correct. (I was initially pissed by it, but only because from my vantage point at the far end of the field, I thought he'd touched it before he stepped out.)
though on a punt (or pass play) a person who has been OOB cannot be the first person to touch the ball ... i believe even on a fumble I've seen it ruled illegal touching for an OOB player to be the one to recover ... these rules seem to be inconsistent with one another.

Just to clarify, it's Ch 4's parent company that is causing the problem. It's not WIVB in particular.

BFFKTS, do you take donations?
Seriously though, Trent needs to recognize this himself as well and get it outta there too. Love his 4th quarter savy but the dude has stunk up the joint just a little bit at times during the first half of games this year. They're trying to kill you man but please, hold on to the ball. 
He also needs to recognize the fact that the ball is on the ground, just cover it up ... don't get up and try to get your knee blown off.
In the big picture, though, these things happen and I'm very pleased with Trent's recognition (even if we don't take into account that he's just started game 13 of his career).

i'm friends with Donte & Marshawn -- Donte, probably real ; Marshawn, I doubt it
also have Alvin Bowen & Derek Fine, both of these are definitely them, too many real life pictures
Also have a couple sabres -- Teppo (probably not real), and Gerbe, definitely him.
I had Barnes, but told him he could remove me if he wanted privacy -- he did

If they don't even fine the Jags DT for his helmet to helmet on TE last week (on the play when the DT recovered the fumbled), they won't fine/suspend Whitner. If tackling becomes a punishable offense, the league is on its way down.

Actually I was thinking you might consider throwing a pass play into the mix there, if you trust your QB to do exactly what Edwards did. I ultimately decided that the downside (longer FG attempt, possible fumble or stupid QB decision) outweighed the possibility of winning the game right there, but I can understand the thought.
I thought it was a designed naked bootleg. Spread formation, everyone went left except for Trent who went right. As soon as he saw he wasn't alone, he goes down. Just my thought.

5. Special teams! Outstanding. Not only in the creativity (the fake FG), but also in their execution and toughness (nice hit by Ko that forced the fumble). Burleson did have some decent returns, but overall, this was an incredible job by the Bills best unit.
My only correction is that it was Corto that forced the fumble on the Kickoff. Corto was a madman last Sunday. Great blocks on returns. Two great hits on coverage -- one that forced the fumble, one stuff on the next kick return.
-
I'm not sure it was the turf... He came up gimpy with the same leg/knee a play or two earlier. It might have even been the previous series.
I saw him limp on the punt return to lead off the series that he got hurt. I mentioned to the guys watching with me.

If they win this game they could pretty easily be 5-0 with San Diego coming to Orchard Park for a big game with the Bills coming off a bye. Exciting stuff.
yeah, and I remember the last time SD came to OP with the Bills 5-0 ... 1980 ... look it up
I'll be happy to be 5-0 if we make it there.
-
Interesting that it was Kerry Collins that replaced him ... because if you remember, Collins was the only other pro QB who went to his coach and told him that he couldn't handle being #1 back when he was with Carolina
-
i've heard he is a great guy...and i'm sure the voice grows on people--maybe its just that its the first time i've heard him.
by the way my muffler has been a bit loud lately...
He is a great guy, but I don't think he can help you with your muffler, sorry, ask George Foreman.
-
I mean...I appreciate his good play for the Bills...but the guy sounds like the guy changing my muffler down at midas..
Dude, he's my friend, don't make me hurt you

All those players showed up to camp to practice and to be there with their teammates, unlike Peters.
ding, ding, ding, we have a winner
Add to that the other players didn't have the arrogant attitude that showed that they would have a problem continuing to play for their current contract numbers. Each one was (while probably privately hoping) publicly somewhat surprised that the Bills gave them extensions. Humility ... it goes a long way in dealing with your boss.

I was impressed with our ability to run the ball last night. Even though Pitt appeared to be playing a pretty vanilla defense...the fact that we ran well against a 3-4 is a good thing. If we can carry that kind of success into the season we're gonna have some fun!
Now, let's get Peters in camp and see what the first teamers can do.
I'm not sure that I define vanilla the same way. Only because I don't think you are playing vanilla D when you line up with only 1 down lineman. At that point you're trying to create confusion. Pitt did that several times with their starters against Edwards.

They never said they thought they had a better shot with Rodgers then Favre, the reasoning behind not bringing him back was because the team had already moved on and were already well into an off season of building their offence around Rodgers since Favre decided to retire. By bringing him back in to start, they would be throwing away an entire offseason of work so Brett could play again
This is the best post on the whole subject to date (IMHO). I've always loved Favre as a player -- and as a person, fun-loving, competitive, open, fan-friendly. This will discolor my view of Favre from now on. It's similar to what Barry Sanders did to Detroit (except the opposite extreme) giving little to no indication that he was going to retire and then doing it suddenly as training camp was about to start, giving Detroit no opportunity to fill his enormous void. That was classless -- in spite of a history of being a classy gentleman and great player. Favre retired this spring (maybe even late winter), now as the team has restructured and made plans for the last several months to move on, he wants back in? Sorry, he jerked the Pack around the last few years with the "will he or won't he retire" game. I'm glad the Pack moved on. Favre does not need to be painted as someone who has been wronged. Deal with it, Brett, you made your decision and didn't like it.

Now I know he didn't write it on his own, but ... that was a good statement and should put most of this behind him.

I believe it was the game versus the Patsies where Roland Hooks (?) caught the game winner at the tail end of the game. Naturally I missed it because my husband's best friend brought his whiny wife who complained the whole game how cold she was, so we left early to shut her up. In fact, we didn't know the Bills had won till we got home and stopped at a friend's house and he yelled WOW WHATTA GAME! OOOOOO I was mad.
UGH. Thanks for making me remember.
I was there too, my Dad wanted to leave, too. We got in the parking lot just in time to hear the roar from the crowd and the PA say "Here's the replay on the scoreboard." Never have I left any game in any sport early since then.

I still remember my first trip to Rich Stadium. It was 1993. I live in Texas and my dad drove our entire family all the way to Orchard Park so I could see where my Bills played. It was in the summer and I remember when we drove up, I was in awe looking at the super bowl logos painted on the outside marquee. Even though we lost those games, I still loved seeing the logos-reminded me of our team's accomplishments. My family went to the front desk and we told the secretary where we had driven from. She called someone from the front office and they escorted my family around the stadium. I was amazed at the generosity of the Bills staff on duty that day. As we left, I told the secretary that we were going back to the Super Bowl again the next year (which we did- SB 28). A few years later, I came back to Ralph Wilson Stadium to see the Bills play- it was a December game against Jacksonville (Steve Tasker's last game). I loved seeing the snow coming down and I loved going to downtown Buffalo. My family and I went around downtown throwing snowballs at each other everywhere we went- the locals knew we were from out of town. The atmosphere of the fans and the town was great. I wish I was able to make it up there more.
It got me thinking, when was your first game at the Ralph/Rich Stadium and what was it like? Or the Rockpile, for the old timers?
Very cool, though I do have to say that Tasker's last game was against GB (IIRC). Jax may have been his last home game. He got tossed from the GB game for arguing/touching an official.
My first was against GB in '79 -- Terry Miller had a great day, including a 45ish yard TD run and the Bills won 19-12. Great day.

Yeah, I'm sure he dumped it down the toilet and never drank it when you weren't around.
It's possible, and I'm not saying it never happens. But people need to be realistic about these things.
Tell me, seriously. In all honesty, if you did the same thing with 10 kids, how many of the 10 would actually put the booze away and never take a drop the rest of the night (counting the 99% of the time you're not watching them) because you told them not to?
1? If you're lucky?
No he didn't dump it down the toilet. But also, no he didn't drink it the rest of the night when I wasn't watching. Our friendship was based on respect for one another. We could use some of that in this day and age.

It's prom night. Kids are going to drink. As many as want to drink are going to drink. It's much better and much safer to be in a house with a parent than in a park or a car.
I disagree ... I had a small post prom party (years ago) with some of my friends. One of them brought some alcohol and took it out part way through the night. I told him to put it away ... and he did. Amazing what positive peer pressure can do. He wanted to drink, but he didn't. It's much better and much safer to not drink.

I can't imagine who will get the most votes on this board ...
At least through most of his years with the Bills, you always game planned against Bruce & it still didn't help your offense do anything. Bruce was dominant most every Sunday that he was suited up. Strahan has been a great player for most of his career -- I don't want to take anything away from him (except that farce sack against Favre for the single season record).
Who is the guy that decided he NEEDED an Edwards jersey...
