Can he get a pay raise without a long extension. Or possibly just a short extension? That would be nice. He has what? 2 years left on his current contract?

Yes, there are some young players coming into their own. That play where Byrd dropped Charles for a 6 yard loss on a screen pass was awesome. I was reading an article talking about it that makes a lot of sense. They said Byrd is able to make that play because other guys in the defense are where they are supposed to be. But it's more than that. Byrd is able to make the play because he trusts that the other guys are where they are supposed to be. It's real hard to stay grounded when you see sooo many positive things happening. Nearly all of us have been guilty of being critical of our offensive line, but I have to say it The OL came out and played at a very high level Sunday. WTF... that was my perceived biggest weakness on this team and they actually dominated? How does that happen? Then there is that feeling you get when you just know that something terrible is going to happen. Like when you throw a touchdown catch and watch as the play is reviewed...that sinking feeling...it is then discovered that the receiver didn't maintain possession as he went out of bounds and the play goes back. To make matters worse a penalty is called on the next play making a field goal attempt even longer. Still a 49 yarder shouldn't be that hard to make, right? Yes, Wide right. But of course all of that didn't happen to the Bills. It happened to the Chiefs. I almost felt sorry for them. Almost. I get the feeling that someone one this team from the deep south knows voodoo. The curse that has been the Bills' for the last 10 years has been transferred to the KC Chiefs. Hey, that works for me, whoever is responsible. My other biggest concern was seeing Fitzy get wild, which he did to a small degree. But man did he make up for it. Four touchdown passes? Are you kidding me? Zero interceptions? Two of the TDs to a TE? Somebody explain to me what just happened here. This game added to the 14 games Fitz played last year places him squarely in the top 10 QBs in the league last year. Who da thunk? And Fred Jackson. His running style is very dominating. He goes between the tackles, breaks tackles and pushes people for extra yards. This is a football warrior. Can anyone say man crush? Ok, now the bad news. KC is not very good. At least they weren't very good this Sunday. The Oakland Raiders beat the Broncos and the Patriot's* beat the Dolphins. Our next 2 opponents are not going to be pushovers. The Bills need to take the next step and they cannot overlook anyone. It's hard to play angry when you win a 41-7 blowout. They need to stay angry.

That was cool interview......Merriman sounds truly happy to be back playing football and playing for the Bills.

The whole team looked good but if I have to chose it's a toss-up between the 2 guys in my avatar.

Vegas lost their ass on the KC game.

Again, Moorman consistently put the ball in the endzone, leading me to believe that this was by design and not because he was off. Is this the coaching telling him to do this or what?

I saw one replay of Bell literally standing Hali up and stopping him right in his tracks.

The thing that I like is that the wildcat is another tool in the shed. Did anyone notice how unpredictable the Bills offense was? A TE who stays in to block most of the time but then just when you least expect it, he slips into coverage and becomes a money receiver. An occasional draw play that opens up a run right up the gut of the defense. Screen plays. Crossing routes. Sideline passes short and long. Gailey was schooling KC today.

I noticed Moorman was booting the ball deep into the endzone. He normally puts it inside the 10 and at first I thought he was just off. He consistently dropped the ball into the endzone though. Is this the coaches? Is Moorman padding his stats because none of those boots were less than 50 yards and I think a couple were over 60yds? Do the coaches think defensively we are better off defending from the 20 rather than covering punts?

Chandler stayed in to block most of the time. When he slipped out into coverage he was money. That 2nd TD, no one even bothered to cover him! This isn't going to work all the time, but actually having a TE who can block and catch makes the offense much more unpredictable. Chandler was perfect for this offense today. Hope to see more of the same.

I'd like to see more of him, but that throw into double coverage wasn't what I had in mind.

Whoa.....its gettin pretty ugly over there.

I all ready fully expect the defense to dominate. The offense is what concerns me most. If the offense gets rolling......that will impress me most.

Haley in the hot seat? I think he takes a step backwards this year. And loses his job in the process.

Warren Sapp knows a thing or two about defensive lines. Hmm, I wonder what he sees.

The logo pumping part looks like the buffalo has gas.....its pumping the animals stomach...lol. You should move the pumping to the buffalo's chest area. Other than that, it's an awesome video.

They discuss packing it in deep and hard..

I knew that would draw a flag.

Well in that case, I'll have a Blue Light.

No. Gailey(Head Coach) - **** Wannstedt(Assistant Head Coach) - *** Edwards Defensive Coordinator - Major Get it?

I'm perfectly happy that it is not being acknowledged. Let people watch the games with dumb looks of astonishment on their faces and then we can watch them start jumping on the bandwagon.

I never said anything about an issue between Gailey and Wannsedt. And I am well aware of the misguided notion that Wannstedt is the defacto defensive coordinator. He came here knowing his role (LBs coach/asst. head coach). I just meant there is no need to worry about a coaching controversy.

Wanny will definitely have an effect. He'll make sure that the linebackers are in the right place. He will also be a good field general. Think of Wanny as a 3 star general and Gailey as a 4 star general. The idea that there is some kind of power struggle is way overblown.

The run D will be a pleasant surprise for us. A lot of people mentioning Dareus, Merriman and Williams, but the effect of guys like Edwards and Caringtion will also be noticeable. This unit is looking down right dominant.

I really think Bell's biggest problem is mental preparation. He has gone up against some of the best pass rushers in the league and performed very well and very poor. He did get schooled in the preseason against Denver, but he is still pretty good. His inconsistency is what hurts him and that just boils down to confidence and mental preparedness. I think he just needs to string together a few good games and he will just get better. Remember that he was placed into the LT spot as a project and he has had to learn a lot. He's got talent but is still trying to figure out what to do with it. It's been an uphill battle learning a new position and battling through injury. Gailey, providing him with some competition this off season is only a motivational response to his performance on the field. He will be fine. He was last year though he did leave room for improvement. I say he improves.
