The Jets are done. Why?, Because last week WAS their Super Bowl. They were honed in on one thing and one thing only, beating the Patriots (knocking them off their throne), who earlier embarassed them badly. No way Ryan gets them that jacked up again for Pittsburgh. Plus, Sanchez, while improving, lays an egg now and then. Jets lose Sunday.
Oh yeah, and Packers win at Chicago, and also take the Super Bowl. Rodgers is playing like a man posessed, they've found a running game, and their D is mighty impressive.

My wife says that based upon my frequent comments during games:
"there's [insert name], he played for the Bills, we let him go [insert years ago]"...
that I've got a "6 degrees of separation" from the Bills affliction, where somehow, everything in NFL football links back to the Bills.
I think she's got me nailed in that respect. Lately:
Marshawn, McGahee, Greer, Malarkey, Greg Williams, Milloy, Wire.
-
That was a great run - congrats to Marshawn. More than any other that one play carried the Seahawks forward, it was just what they needed, when they needed it. I'm glad he finally got to shine in a playoff game with a national audience.
Too bad he couldn't get to one with the Bills, but I'm not blaming him for that. We're ok w Freddie, Seahawks gotta be pleased as punch w Marshawn now. Win - win I say.

I've come to the conclusion that you can't make any judgements about the quality of your team by how badly the Pats whipped them. If you use them as a measuring stick the Jets, Bears, and Steelers would all have to believe they suck too.
On the bright side, we did get more total yards. If we didn't have 7 turnovers maybe we'd have had a prayer. If we beat the Jets we start 0-8 and finish 5-3. Not too shabby for the second half of the season. Go Bills!

It's also pretty damn tough on the visiting Vikings fans, who now have to either stay two more nights, or in some cases, miss the game because they need to get back to work. I agree with most posters here, it is ludicrous to cancel a game for cold and snow.
-
BTW, would you mind providing a link? I couldn't find it even though I typed in "The Low Post" in the December Men's Journal. It came up with a great interview with Thomas McGuane…but I couldn't find the Q & A you had excerpted.
Thanks!
I can't find it on their website either (but I don't have a subscription). It's in the print version, on page 95, in an article titled "Your burning questions, answered" by Matt Taibbi.

I thought I'd share this - it's from a somewhat tongue in cheek Sports Q & A column called "The Low Post" in December Mens Journal:
"Q:Do you think Los Angeles will ever get an NFL team, and if so, which team?
A:It seems like a neck and neck race between the Jaguars and the Bills, and please, God, let it be the Jaguars. Number one, they'll fit in much better with those precious teal-and-gold unis (they look like they belong in an episode of Xena: Warrior Princess). Number two, Buffalo Bills fans are the best and drunkest fans in all of sports; they sell out their stadium in -20 degree weather and are still puking on each other on frozen aluminum bleachers deep into the fourth quarters of gruesome 30 point Bills losses. If the governement is going to bail out irresponsible Evremondes like AIG, as far as I'm concerned they're morally obligated to keep pro football in Buffalo, at least until they win a title."

I'd be pretty happy if we beat the Dolphins and the Jets. I'd love a win against the Patriots of course (wouldn't we all?), but you've got to have a dose of realism, they have been flat out steam rollering the best D's in the league of late. If we could go 2-1 over our next three games, it would mean after starting 0-9, we finish 5-2 over the last 7 games. A hell of an improvement, and a real sense of hope for carrying that forward next year. To those who say blah blah blah, been hearing the "next year" crap for a decade, we have not had many seasons where we finish much stronger than we start. Most teams that do so carry that success forward into the following season.
-
Way to go Bills! Awesome to see us run the ball down their throats and totally control the clock at the end. Seen too many the other way around, this is a very welcome change!
-
I can relate to the misery of the losses as they pile up (year after year), but I still insist on seeing the positives in our play of late.
Consider the 5 games before the bye. We were getting beaten soundly - by an average of 14.8 points a game.
Since the bye, things are a lot better. 2 wins (admittedly against teams with weak records, but one of those had a huge come from behind victory). 4 losses, but they were ALL by 3 points, and 3 of those went to overtime. Those were NOT teams anyone expected us to even be competitive with, much less tie in regulation. Consider their records: Steelers (8-3 division leader), Ravens (7-3 contender), Chicago (8-3 division leader), Chiefs (6-4 division leader). We took all those teams to the brink. Yes we didn't win, but I'll take what I'm seeing post-bye as a serious sign of improvement.
Go Bills!

Can you say TURNING THE CORNER ?!
Hot damn!!!
-
yea - because lindell intended to hit the !@#$in upright in overtime...
get out of here with crap like this. it's ignorant and insulting.
I wasn't SERIOUS. It's hard to imagine soo many things going wrong, almost like the only way it could happen is if you planned it. Oh well, a jokes not funny when you have to explain it...
-
Too many strange things are going on here. In a twist of fate reversal, I'm starting to believe that these last 2 weeks are critical in determining the future of this club. In the short term its hurtful, but if they had beaten Balt or KC, or both...it could have altered their draft position back to 3,4 or 5. Now they are still likely 1 or 2....plus they've played with tremendous heart against better teams and did everything but win. Five years from now the guy leading the team could be that 1 or 2 pick, that they would not have gotten if they won these last couple weeks. Anyway, just trying to bring some positive energy to this tough time.
It has gotten to the point where you start to wonder, are we TRYING for the #1 pick? "OK boys you've played good and competitive, but we're getting too close to winning this thing. If you get a chance to win it in OT, make sure you find a way to miss. Try not to make it look obvious, but seriously, we need these draft picks..."
-
I dunno, Chalkie - Dallas killed JFK, then went on to win 5 Superbowls - 2 against Buffalo - and a Stanley Cup against....never mind...
I know this falls into the misery loves company category, but ain't it nice that the Cowboys are only 1 win better than us
Megamillion dollar stadium, talk pre-season of them being in a home Super Bowl. Talk about a let down...

With back to back games going to overtime, and against a couple of pretty decent, playoff contender teams, it's hard to say the Bills are not showing improvement. It sucks to have lost them both, especially given the chances to win, but I don't think it fair to say the Bills are a really bad team because they lost these last two when they had chances to win. They're far from perfect, but what's encouraging to me is they are obviously giving it everything they've got, and they're not folding up their tents at the slightest sign of adversity.
Frankly, I find it hard to imagine this team going winless. I expect they'll get 3-4 wins. That still makes it sound like they're really bad, but if they can go 3-6 or 4-5 for their last 9 games, and be competitive in them all, I'd call it progress. The last two games have been fun to watch (waaaaay better than with Trent). With the right improvements on D we'd be a force to contend with. As it stands, based upon how we've played the last couple of weeks, I bet the teams coming up aren't licking their chops to play us.

My God it's like you guys will never learn. It's to a point now where you are literally handicapped if you try and uncover something positive about this team. "Looking forward to next year" "Looks like we finally found our guy" or my favorite "THIS IS LIKE THE COLTS IN PEYTON MANNINGS FIRST YEAR" ARE YOU SERIOUS? WAKE UP IDIOTS
Wow, way to make lemons out of grapes. This was the best performance by a Bills QB in a long, long time. Nothing to be negative about. As long as we are getting better, in at least one critical part of the game, I (and many other fans) will have hope, not hate. Do I think we've turned the corner? No. Will we still have some bad offensive games? Yes. But there is at least a little room for optimism.
Give credit where credit is due...
Way to go Fitz! Great Game!!
-
Seems to me this is about the least likely chance for us to have an upset (aka a win) this year. Ravens stifling D against our weak, inconsistent offense. Our spineless D against Ravens ball control power offense. This could be ugly.

Bills make fans sadder
Gailey's 0-fer count rolls on
Hope's low in B-LO

I was about 4 when Ron McDole moved into the house a few doors down from us on Grand Island. I just remember he was really big, and my Dad told me that's because he's a football player for the Buffalo Bills. I remember asking "what's football?". My first introduction to the game ensued. After that I started watching some of the games, learning rules, etc. For a kid, it was pretty neat, like we had a celebrity in the neighborhood.
-
They should just keep the TV on in the draft room and go by the ESPN recommended picks. They would be MUCH better if they did.
The sad part is that's likely very true
-
So the data shows that it doesn't matter who the hell is the RB? Glad the Bills have spent 3 first round picks on them over the past decade.
It's quite possible that's part of our problem. We probably could've got more impact with other positions. To some that's stating the obvious...

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Sure they have been spreading the ball around and Moss has only had a few touches a game, but they were able to spread the ball around because Moss commands attention no matter where he is on the field, especially in the vertical game. They do have Tate, but he is still raw and no Randy Moss, at least not yet. From a football stand point, this looks like a terrible move and quite risky.
However, Bruschi was on the TV and reporting that there were a lot of reports out of the locker room that players and coaches were unhappy with Moss and his attitude. There was a feeling it was starting to resemble the Moss that was in Minn that last year. Moss is a happy camper when he is getting paid and getting the ball. But this year, he isnt getting either one. No indication of a contract from NE and not many opportunities for balls on the field to prove they need to pay him.
NE is a team first team, and thats what works for them. If Moss is disrupting that chemistry and is likely to walk anyway, then this was the best time to trade him. His value will only go down from here as he is 33 and if you are going to remove him from your offense its better to do it early in the season so you can find your rhythm by playoff time with the guys you have. And lets face it, this WR unit is still better than any unit they had in either of there 3 SB wins, so they have proven they can win with a unit like they have now.
If he was starting to look like a locker room cancer, I agree, BB would decide the team is better off ridding themselves of him early. He most certainly wasn't going to be with them next year so they do the deal a little early. One thing the Pat's are very good at is getting rid of older talent while it still has a pretty good trade value. BB does not let himself get too attached to aging superstars, he puts the team first.

I see there are 2 responses for the most part. One, the ones that agree with me (thank you). Two, the ones that still believe that complaining will change somethings and make them feel better.
I think there's a different angle on your number Two. It's called venting. It's something people do when they are pissed off about something they can't control. To me, it's natural to see it in this forum when the product on field is so abysmal. Let's face it, at a time like this you can't REALLY expect to see the majority of posts expressing confidence and optimism. We're still fans. We still hope for wins, and improvement. We're not seeing it now so we talk about that. No biggie...

My god! Sell the team to LA or SA and let it end already. Short of that, we are in for a Detroit Lions type of decade on top of the decade we just lived through. It's just not worth it anymore from an emotional standpoint.
End it like they ended the Xmas display in front of Main St's AM&As. End it like the Century Theater. End it like the Aud. End it like the Rockpile. End it like Twin Fair, like Hills, like Hengerer's. End it like Studio Arena. End it like Crystal Beach.
They are a relic of the past and the money and time spent on them should be spent making the area a better place to live and not a reminder of what once was.
SAD!
or.. Keep it like they did Ted's Hot Dogs, Keep it like they did Delaware Park, Keep it like they did Shea's Theatre, Keep it like they did Albright-Knox Art Gallery, and Kleinhan's Music Hall. Keep it like they did Mighty Taco.
It's a freaking Buffalo tradition. It can't just "End".
Prepare yourself, the Jets will win it all
