Way to help out JP defense -- WTF. Come ON -- let's get MEAN and NASTY and HURT some people!!!!

If Hamden is inactive, who's the "emergency" qb? (God, I hope it doesn't ever come to that).

WooHoo!!! What a confidence builder -- could not have come at a better time!!!

Well, I suppose it would have been even worse had it happened on hard astroturf. Fortunately, the Cardinals have one of the softest natural grass surfaces in the league. Hey, gotta find SOME kind of silver lining in this.

When your starting QB goes out, that means the DEFENSE MUST PICK UP THEIR GAME. This will be a real test of what kind of TEAM the Bills are. They CANNOT just fold up the tent because the starting QB goes down. They've got to get MEAN and start dealing out some pain of their own.

C'MON DEFENSE

Absolutely, let's get behind JP. Defense has to pick it up. Defense wins championships.

Maybe we'll see a new JP under Turk. Can only hope

fuk -- this is the sort of thing that shortens careers -- gotta pick up blitzes better

I have to listen on radio -- what was hit like?

Yep, whining=no respect winning=respect Once we take care of some good teams over a long haul (more than just 4 games), the respect will come.

See Dwight Drane's translation on p. 1 -- I thought he nailed it pretty well.

Thank you Colorado State! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

On weeks when Buffalo plays out west or mountain time zone, I wonder if they start their practice sessions later in the day so that their bodies get used to performing later in the day. Since the game starts at 4 PM EDT, I would think that they would want to do their hardest practicing at 4 PM EDT, as well.

You're right! I'm sure the Patsies were not saying to themselves last year that they wish they had played Buffalo without half their roster on IR. I retract my earlier remark. I think my main regret is that the Bills won't have the same opportunity the Chiefs had to put Brady out.

I totally agree with you. I wanted the Bills to play against a Brady-led Patriots team and defeat them -- our best against their best.

Good points, but the decision to fly home between is the only sensible option. This isn't like the Cards hanging out in the east coast and going from Washington, DC to NYC. The distance between St. Louis & Phoenix is 1500 miles. Better just to be home and practice in their own facility, be with their families (for those with families) and then make the trip back out again. The Cards staying east didn't work so well for them and I don't think it would have worked so well for the Bills, either, to stay out mid-west/southwest.

I don't think you read my message carefully. I'm NOT suggesting he CHOOSE to not be a valuable commodity on the FA market. That would be foolish. What I AM saying that an INJURY might make that a reality. Let's say he has a great year, but gets injured in week 16 -- serious enough to harm his FA value. If he has a long-term contract with the Bills and can be healthy again the following season to play, then he is protected. If he gets hurt, teams will take a chance on him, but maybe not at the price they might have if he was 100% healthy. The choice Greer has is to take that risk. Then again, we don't even know if the Bills are talking with him anyhow, so it may be a moot point. He could agree to an extension with the Bills for just SLIGHTLY less than he might get as a FA and then not have to worry about staying healthy this year. Injuries are a reality of the game and players must take this into consideration at all times.

Cowboys have a loss, but thier opponents are also 3-12.

The Bills don't have to match what he would be projected to get in free agency -- just come close. If they get in the ballpark, then that would be enough to get him to sign and not take the risk of getting injured and not being a valuable commodity on the FA market. Buffalo has got to keep some top players -- can't always be expecting the next guy to be just as good as the last. Now, that may be true in this case, but the Bills need to keep some high-talent experience on the team. I'd like to see them make an effort to sign Greer. Defense wins champinships!!! Go Bills!

Very well said. They'll improve. The O-line will put together a solid 60-minute game soon.

Yes, it's funny how a reputation sticks even after the problem has subsided. Reed made one very nice catch last week just as he was being hit. A lot of receivers would not have made that catch. Totally agree with you on Hardy. I don't understand people's impatience with him.
