Fox has the double header this week, meaning CBS will only carry one game per market.

Just as a head's up to everyone, make sure you double check your local channel on Sunday. This map is usually excellent but there are times when your local affiliate will make a last minute change. Last week, the map had the early Fox game as Saints-Panthers here in St. Louis so i assumed i wasn't getting the game. I was doing things with the kids and listening online. When i finally sat down in front of the tv for the second half of the early games, lo and behold the Bills game was on . The website also has an 'updates' section just below each map so check that as well. It didn't capture my change last week though.

Belichick: Obviously it was a disappointing loss for us today. It was a hard-fought game. Buffalo did a good job; it's always difficult coming in here. They made a few more plays than we did today. They did a good job. No doubt about it. They’ve been doing a good job. Chan [Gailey]‘s done a great job with the team and they’re playing well. Yeah, they mixed it up. They did it all game. Brady: We played a good football team. We made too many mistakes. It's tough to overcome as many mistakes as we did. (Buffalo) made a lot of plays and they've got a good team. They're a good coverage team. They made some good plays in the pass game. They took advantage of some opportunities that they got. We fought to the end but it just wasn't enough. (Buffalo) made some good plays on the ball. Some days the ball gets batted up in the air and it goes your way, and some days it doesn't. That's part of the game. George Wilson made a hell of a play on that one interception. It's the way the ball bounces. That's football. Welker: The Bills came out there and played hard, and they kept fighting and they were definitely a tougher team that us today. They did a great job of making plays out there, and their defense did a good job and you’ve got to give them all the credit in the world. They’re a tough football team. They played really well, they kept fighting, and you’ve got to give them all the credit. Gronkowski: They're a good defense. The Bills have good players, they play hard and they go 100% every play. They're a tough defense. They're a good team. Every time I play them they're always tough and they're always competitive. They've got good players. They're legit. And this thread:Congratulations To The Bills And Their Fans. Much classier fans that i thought (for the most part).

Bellichek was a bit testy about the timeout. LOL When asked about the second timeout that he was charged with. “We took it.” On if there was a miscommunication on the second timeout “I took it.” On why he came out onto the field toward the end when they called the timeout, if he was contesting the spot, etc. “No, I took a timeout.” You took a timeout? “That’s right.” On the fact he seemed to be contesting something “I went down to call a timeout. What don’t you understand about that?” On the fact he seemed a little animated to just be calling a timeout. “They were waving me back, and I was going down there to call it, so I called it.”

Thanks for the head's up. This will go down as one of those games we'll never forget.

I can believe it. I used to go there when I lived there. It's a crazy atmosphere... usually overflowed to the restaurant next door which was owned by the same people.

Now that was worth the wait!! GO BILLS!!!

All of the above was exactly my thought when it happened. The ball was down in bounds so normally it would have run and he would've had to take a timeout to stop it. Being the paranoid Bills fan I am, I was screaming at the ref to start the clock as soon as it was spotted. Bellichek threw a hissy fit about it probably just to con the refs. I'd find it hard to believe that he would not know this.

I put the odds at 50-50 against the Patsies(*). They are not the powerhouse that everyone is gushing over. Miami (yes Miami) racked up some serious yardage on them. Both defenses look bad and both offenses look great. Pats are banged up on defense as well. We have the 12th man. Turnovers will be the difference in this game. And Lindell better not miss any this week.

Luckily the wife is a huge sports fan so she understands the way I get for Bills games. Agreed. The Jauron years were sad. I had gotten completely numb to the apathetic attitude and lack of direction the team had. I'd still follow the games but knew they had no hope. That's the difference with this version. Even last year at 0-8 i felt better about this team because the games were very different - comptetitive ane entertaining for the most part. You get that feeling they're heading in the right direction, just like in the late 80's.

I remember those days. Now with a family there's so much to do that I barely have time to get everything done before kickoff. But the anticipation is still there through it all. I have one less hour to wait here in central time but it must be great for those of you on the west coast to wake up and only have a few hours til gametime.

I have 2 young kids, a wife that's always giving me lists, and a busy job but still find a way to soak up Bills info. Internet and smartphones are obviously a big help. And Good thing you're a Bills fan. Can't stand the Irish - i went to Michigan. How about that night game this year!

I’ve been a die hard Bills fan since 1980. When I was a kid I used to live for football season and the wait between Sundays for each game was palpable. Since then, I’ve moved away from WNY but my fandom has never wavered. The Bills are still #1 in my heart when it comes to pro sports. However, over the past 10 yrs with the revolving door of coaches, players, and lack of front office competency I’d started to lose that feeling you get during the week to soak up as much Bills info as possible…catching the national and local sport shows, seeing features about Bills players, checking the individual and team stats, seeing where we sit in the standings, etc… You could never get enough and by Friday you were bursting at the seams ready for kickoff. Well this team has pulled me back in…fully. It started last year and has grown with each game. I love this underdog team with a retread coach and underappreciated players who have found a way to put it all together and exhibit the kind of fortitude every fan identifies with. They’re young and improving with each game. As a fan you want to see that the team comes out every game and competes. It’s been so long since we’ve had that. They’re entertaining even when they lose. I truly believe the sky’s the limit for this team this year. Do I think we’ll win against the Pats this Sunday? I think it’s possible… and that’s all you can ask for as a fan. How do you pass the time between Sundays? What are some things you do during the week to get amped for the coming game?

This is the best thing he said and more telling:

Flash to spillertime: Chan runs George Edwards. Rcatty is dead on.

I don't - in fact, like you, i believe that science eventually supports the things that people take on faith. All i'm saying is that I would've liked to have seen a little more of that science explained.

I actually had the opposite reaction. Although the finale was ok and 'feel good' i definitely didn't like the way they went to a spiritual explanation rather than the sci fi aspects. The thing that I always loved about this show were all the scientific pieces that seemed to exist and was looking for a conclusion that would tie them all together. As season six progressed i realized that wasn't going to happen. I also can't understand how regular viewers of this show could've been confused about the sideways world or if the island was real or not. Seemed fairly obvious to me. Overall the series was without comparison to anything i've watched by far, and probably the only current show on tv that i considered can't miss tv. P.S. I've been a lurker here for the past few years and want to thank all the 'regulars' that contributed to this thread weekly. You guys always came up with salient discussion that always added to the experience of the show. I will truly miss this show.

Amen brother

Uh, probably runs in the family. Can't escape genetics. Should be "extolling my wife and me"

I can understand him not wanting to be vocal publically too. How long that will last is yet to be seen. But i sure as hope he's laying into a few people in the locker room.

He's doing his best to be 'good' but we need him to be TO and speak his mind. It's obvious to him (repeatedly says 'just going with the plays that are called') as it is to us that the gameplan and/or Trent need to improve. How we can't get him and Lee involved in this offense is beyond me. You almost have to go out of your way to exclude guys of this talent level. Throw some slants, jump balls, to these guys early and get them in the game for god's sake. Makes no sense. Q: What did you think of the offense overall? Terrell Owens: Didnt execute. Q: Why do you think the offense didnt execute? T.O.: We lost the game, what do you think? Q: On the deep ball at the tunnel end did you pull up on that? T.O.: No. Q: Trent couldnt get the ball downfield and it seemed like everything was short and check downs. T.O.: I was just going with the plays that were called. Q: Was it something their defense was doing out there? T.O.: What do you think? Q: You tell me, youre out there T.O.: Im just going with the plays that are called. Q: Your frustration level right now? T.O.: Im good. Just got to get ready for next week. Q: Do you feel you and Lee (Evans) are being wasted in this offens? T.O.: Were just going with the plays that are called. Q: You could say no right there. T.O.: Im just going with the plays that are called. Q: Do you like the plays that are called? T.O.: Whether I like them or dont, Im just going with the plays that are called. Q: How about the decisiosn that are made after the plays are called? The quarterbacks decisions after the play is called? T.O.: Youd have to ask him Q: Im asking what you think. T.O.: I dont want to answer that because whatever I say you guys are turn it into however you want to say it. Q: Well print whatever you say word for word. T.O.: I just answered you sir. Q: Any thoughts on the end of your catch streak (185 straight games)? T.O.: Its over. Q: Did it have any meaning to you at all? T.O.: We didnt win the game. Q: Do you feel bad for the defense? T.O.: Weve just got to regroup and get ready for next week. http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2009/09/28/t...-game-comments/

Thanks dude.

A couple of things from the premiere that i don't think have been discussed yet. 1. When the island moved all the castaways moved with it. But the Others (original inhabitants) didn't. For example, Locke was standing with Richard and some others when the first move happened but only he moved with the island. Richard disappeared - where/when did he go? Richard came and found him after the fact. 2. Ben is leading Jack and the rest on a mission to get back to the island. He implies that he'll be going back with them. But didn't he say last season that once he moved the island, he would never be able to go back?

Wrong. If they ruled the player was standing out of bounds when the ball touched him, then it's an illegal kick out of bounds and the ball should've been placed at the 40. This exact scenario happened in a game earlier this year (i think it was a bills game) and the ball was indeed placed at the 40.
