I'm just excited to have some optimism with regards to this team for the first time since midway through the 2002 season. All right, so maybe it is feeding a starving man a bowl of rice instead of a steak, but hey food is food right.

You know what they say about opinions.... Seriously, I guess its just a matter of personal taste. You like them, I think they look retarded. Too trendy of a design. Of course I also like classic unis like the Yankees, Red Sox, Tigers and Cardinals in baseball, and the New Jersey teams, Bears and Packers in football. So it is subjective.

Now I may have to change it to third ugliest, behind Cincy and Seattle, which are both MUCH worse than ours. I just wish we went with the classy retro look, say from around 1973.

Thanks Fez, much appreciated.

That was started in the offseason. I was looking to make some kimmelweck rolls (with one of the posted recipes) and have beef on weck for Sunday's game and I can't find the recipes. Did we lose it when the server went down?

I respectfully disagree.

Very, very difficult. We almost need to win out, at least vs. AFC teams, and I don't see that happening. Maybe a nice 9-7 season, which would position Buffalo as a playoff favorite next season.

Maybe. But I'm not underestimating Dillon, he's good. But our run defense is one of the best in football. On McGahee....you'll see, just like the Jets and Miami saw.

Except that I think we can stop DIllon without overcommiting guys in the box. Just with our base defense. No knock on Dillon there. Brady, however, will have his moments against our secondary. We just have to hope we keep the ball and tire out your D. The Pats won't stop Willis. I don't care if you put 8 men in the box. The Bills will run the ball. Then when the blitz is off, take advantage of your injured 2ndary.

Got the same one. Click on my profile and you'll see it.

Now thats going a little far. He has his limits but the guy was a good NFL running back, who played very hurt last year for a stevestojantty team. Fumbling hasn't been an issue since 2002, who cares who he is screwing off the field (as long as they're not related to me), and who cares what he does with his money. Suspect at blitz pickup, poor hand and vison I'll give you. But this guy is in the top half of capable NFL running backs. Is he a special talent, no. But could he fit well in an offense like Arizona's, sure.

Henry is a very good NFL running back. But Willis is just a special talent. And I mean, special, as in OJ or Gale Sayers special. The Bills will deal Henry, probably to Arizona or some team in need of a proven NFL back for probably a 2nd round pick in the offseason, which is fine. I would wish Travis nothing but the best, he's been great for Buffalo, a good guy and team player. But by the end of next season, the buzz about McGahee will be that he is the #1 back in football. The Rams/Seattle...these other teams from the NFC West don't have a clue how tough our division is every year. I'm not suprised the Pats hammered the Rams, bunch of wussies. When they come to Buffalo in 2 weeks, I'm thinking that dome team will just turtle, like Arizona, especially if we have Lake Effect Snow.

Interesting. 5 Wides will be tough for us to stop. Especially if Gray decides to try and bring the house on that one, which can only lead to big plays for NE. Still, if Vincent is healthy, we can at least contain the 5 wides with Milloy/Vincent/Clements/McGee/Reese. The last two aren't great, but not terrible either. Dillon, while good, doesn't scare me. Our front 4 +Fletcher will stop Dillon. Will Sam Adams and Pat Williams in the middle, backed up by London Fletcher, forget about inside running. Outside, we have Spikes & Posey at LB, with Schobel & Kelsey at DE. I'm not worried that Dillon will get outside on us. Our defensive speed is too much. No question you are correct. However, to throw all your exotic blizes at Bledsoe, you need to first stop the run. I think you guys miss Ted Washington too much to do this versus McGahee. Bottomline, if Willis gets 30+ carries, I think we'll win the game.

C. Dillon 19 Rush 79 Yds 1 TD 1 FumL That's not exactly a pro bowl performance. Maybe not completely shut down, but certainly held in check.

Williams may not be out, no test results yet. McGahee will get to the outside, and run in between the tackles. Miami and the Jest both have good LB's and McGahee gashed them. You won't be different. And even if you do catch up to him on the outside, he will break the tackle. In the Baltimore game, he broke two one-on-one tackles against Ray Lewis. Impressive. You are correct tho that the game rests on Drew and his ability to avoid mistakes. He has avoided them 3/4 weeks, I think he'll avoid them again.

No question I'd watch every game anyway, even go to a few. I just would not be optimistic for this season anymore.

Yes it is, but if they take a crap on Sunday nite & lose 31-0 there will be no more optimism this year.

All right, I'll give a little analysis... Bills Positives 1- Our D will be healthy for the first time all year with Milloy & Vincent playing. Dillon will not run on our D. Brady will have to beat us with his arm like he did in the first game. 2- McGahee is unreal and will run for 100+ yards on you guys on 30+ carries. 3- Without Ty Law, you have noone who can cover Moulds 1 on 1, so you will have to double, leaving Evans in single coverage. Evans can outrun single coverage. We will hit a bomb or two if Bledsoe has time. 4- The OL is playing much better, but they should not be confused with the Hogs. 5- Pats are at home and even tho we have not won a big road game since 02, this could be the week. I know you have the home streak intact but all streaks end, your home streak will have to end sometime and you guys are pretty banged up right now. Add it up... Bills 24 Pats 10

Ya know, after reading through both threads (why I'm not really sure) I tend to agree with BF & T-Bone here. Maybe Sue asked a question she could have discovered the answer to with a little bit of research. But was it really necessary to pile on so excessively?? Yeah, she responded in kind, but if you really look in the mirror you know you instigated it. I think a little less jumping on everyone would make the board a much more inviting and better place.

Ya gotta start somewhere!!

Damn right, loud & proud!! I'm kicking around the idea of driving up myself.

You can't run on us!! NOONE can run on us!!!

I said it!! This game is gonna be like my first boyfriend in prison.....HUGE!! Our D will be healthy for the first time all year. They have noone who can cover Moulds and the Patsies can't stop the run!! Big day for Willis as the road monkey finally comes off our backs. Bills 24 Patsies 10 THE BILLS MAKE ME WANNA SHOUT!!!

Hey Peter King...eat your words.... He defines the best 3 as Pitts, NE, Philly. We're gonna ram it down the Patises throat in their house baby!!!

But we gotta start somewhere. The Patsies can't stop the run & Willis is gonna run all nite!! Bills 24 Patsies 17
