This one felt like the good old days... Bryan Cox and all.

Umm... that looked like intent to injure. He should be ejected.

They should shelve McCoy and let Gillislee take the carries... he's clearly not at 100% out there.

Unfortunately, that is the going rate. I had a caliper go bad on my '07 Accord. The caliper pin seized up and wore the pad and rotor out. It is a fairly common thing to go wrong for the 7th generation Accord. They did a complete replacement of my rear brakes (pads, rotors, calipers) and it cost $800... and that was at an independent shop, not at the dealer, either. I decided from that day on that I would do my brakes on my own the next time they went bad. There are enough youtube videos out there for auto repair that it's likely there is a DIY guide for your make/model. It depends on the model, but most cars really aren't that hard. If you can change your oil or do other minor repairs, you can likely change your car's pads and rotors.

That team is a walking disaster area... how did we lose to them in week 2?

Shady is probably hurt... so it is a choice between passing or handing off the football to Gillislee, Bush, or Felton. Lynn seems to be preferring to pass. Please hand the football off.

I really don't want to hear the excuses this week for Taylor. He can escape pressure well, and his OL was crap during the first few series, but he now has decent protection, and he still can't make simple throws. Shady going down in the 2nd should be a huge wake up call - our offense will be shut down without him. Taylor is a game manager, he won't force a throw and he can run the football... but he is not an NFL-caliber passing quarterback.

You will see better defenses stuff the run box with 8 players and make TT throw the ball. The question to me is whether or not TT can win these types of games. Seattle will be a good test.

Bingo. Shady, Robey, and Fisher won this game for us, all in spite of Taylor's performance. That boneheaded play where he lined up behind Richie, combined with the horrible accuracy... I mean I can't see how you can grade his performance today higher than a C-. He didn't throw a pick, I guess there's that.

Why did they accept that penalty? That should have been an easy decline. Fisher is somehow worse than Rex.

Fake punt?!? If that were the Bills I'd have gone ballistic.

Defense did their job.

Defense needs to step up here.

Terrible clock management there. You should have let 25 seconds bleed off the clock before snapping that third down ball.

+1. They are winning today because of turnovers generated by the D and some great play from McCoy. TT is a game manager type of QB. He will make a few big plays with his legs, but do not count on him being a reliably accurate passer.

There you go.

I feel like this is the kind of game that, if this team has turned the corner, should win. Otherwise, they're the same old Bills.

Probably have to keep Carpenter through the end of the season... there aren't exactly a bunch of reliable PK'ers available. They should draft one of the better collegiate kickers next year in the 3rd or 4th round.

The NFC East game of the week (PHI @ DAL) is at week 8. Forget it.

Hearing them complain about the refs is probably the most redeeming part of the whole thing. With Brady on the field they get the benefit of every single call. "Just give it to them", one might say... http://deadspin.com/report-bad-call-at-end-of-patriots-bills-game-was-beca-1744420521 http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2011/6/16/2225057/buffalo-bills-walk-off-foxboro-patriots

Keep the pressure on these guys.... Brisket only tastes good when it's cooked low and slow...

Bingo. Expect to score once or twice in the second half. The defense needs to continue to step up and hold them to as little as possible.

Please, I have serious questions for Crayonz now that it appears he is back in full glory: How are Sammy, Carl, and the Googlebot? Are "they" still in control? Are you running any more experiments with silica gel?

For posterity's sake: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/73019-the-bills-are-putting-themselves-in-a-bad-position/ This was the infamous Trent Edwards concussion game, no? I'm glad the Bills did not put themselves in a bad position by winning that game.

I can explain it. I'm talking about my vote of confidence in the coaching staff, players, and front office. To be brutally honest, given past history, they have to show me more than a single game against an NFC opponent. I'm not "all in" that this team is good. After those first two games, they need to show me more. Do I always root for the team? Absolutely. But I'm not going to "suckered" into thinking this is a playoff-bound team until I see sustained success over the course of the season. Beating NE* would be a major step towards that... winning in late October through November would be an even bigger one.
