I don't care. I hope we crush them. #NeverForget

That was awesome. Gabe Davis is ***** great. McDermott was hilarious.

I was there with my dad. One of the things my dad hated more than anything was the traffic and battling the crowds leaving the stadium after games, so whenever we went to a game we always had to leave a little early to beat the rush (unless it went down to the finish, which back then in the 70s and 80s it rarely did). That game, when it came down to the end and the Jets were about to kick the game-winning FG, my dad made us get up and start walking up the stairs from the lower bowl so we could get out of there fast. I made him stop at the top of the steps so we could watch the kick, and...boom. Smerlas saved the day. So of course, I made him walk back down to the seats so we could sit back down and watch the rest. I remember saying to the people around us, "We're back!" Good times.

Well, technically he didn’t say “starting for the Bills…”

We played nickel defense 100% of the time against WFT. Good point, there. I'm still nervous to see how this defense holds up against a strong running team like TEN, CLE, even KC. We'll see.

It's been a while since one of these gems from @4merper4mer. Just love watching all the folks unfamiliar with him take the bait.

I know this is a thread about Zack, but since I already brought up Ford, there's this one, too...

Wasn't a great look for Cody Ford on that play, but...TD anyways!

Takes some teams a little longer to get used to new players. I'll bet the Colts and Patriots will be better as the year goes on.

I know, it's way too early, but it's still fun.

Of course, then there is this...

Overall, I thought the defense played well. I was hoping we would get to the QB a bit more than we did, more like previous weeks. I'm not a stat hound looking only for sacks, and Heinecke was forced to move around a lot, which is good. That said, McDermott seems to agree...

I have no worries about this team overlooking the next game, whenever or whoever it is. This is a very disciplined, humble, hungry team. I do fully expect Daboll to install the QB sweep play again, though. I bet he is still livid that we didn't hit it when he called it in OT in the playoff game. It was the perfect play call at the perfect time, foiled only by the fact that 3 big guys couldn't block 1 DB. He *has* to want to try it again against this team.

Bills look to be in a good spot, but I wouldn't underestimate CLE and BAL. Those are two good, strong teams. And TEN is starting to look strong after that debacle in Week 1 (but we know what that's like).

Yes, looks like the plan was to rush 4 and drop 7, probably to make it harder for Heineke to find open receivers. In retrospect, it worked pretty well, given the interceptions and generally low output of their offense. If they were able to move the ball much better, I bet we probably would have started to see some blitzes. But the front 4 really wasn't able to get very close to him, which is a little concerning.

In all fairness, we didn't have much of a pass rush from anybody today.

I have to say, maybe one of the most impressive things about that game was the drive right before the half. Surgical. Outstanding clock management. Had to have crushed the WFT's spirit.

In terms of pure excitement and absolute craziness, that one is right near the top of the list. I'll never forget how completely bonkers that place was when it happened. The only other times I can recall that compare is, of course, the pick-6 against Baltimore last year, and the craziness of the Dallas MNF game all those years ago.

What, nobody jonesing for these bastards?

Probably should've just ended the post there.

Really strange that the prevailing opinion is that the offense still is searching for its groove, yet we just scored 5 TDs and completely blew out a division opponent on the road.

Yeah, I would never push it like that, especially with the solar panels available.

Thanks, I'm mostly waiting for the existing lead acid battery to wear out, then replace it with a lithium battery. We're so lightweight we don't have much need for a generator. Just mostly trying to get a sense of how to monitor battery wear and usage in a way that this brain can process. I like that with a lithium you don't have to be concerned about the battery state dropping below 50%...or to any % for that matter.

Absolutely. I usually give it at least 24 hours before coming back here.
