2020 Our Year For Sure

I prefer limericks: I say die Miami die or I'll climax in your eye. Sunday you go "Squish!" Ending of the fish. See you when its cold and dry.

Lindell will miss about a 47-49 yarder in the 4th that will either end up costing us the game or coming close, and everyone will overreact and talk about how he's never shown he can make the big kick. Of course the intelligent ones among us will point out how the Bills have never shown they can set him up to attempt the big kick.

We played the Titans in a home night game the year after the Music City Screwjob...early in the year, possibly even opening week. A sign in the crowd said "If revenge is a dish best served cold, why isn't it December?" Got my emotions all stirred up, and we came out and kicked their @ss that night.

No herb that morning? You know after the loss to New England in the first week I didn't get that sick feeling I get when the Bills lose to the same extent as usual, but if we lose this week to Miami to go 0-2 I know that feeling will be there in all its glory for days. For the sake of my college classes, DJ & Co. better find a way to win this one. I'm sure Culpepper will make some mistakes so we should at the very least be in it. Squish the Fish!

Accidental double post...

What makes this an easy play for a referee to botch is that McGahee lands awkwardly. Usually a runner's knee will hit the ground first and then the rest of his body will come down, and it's often in that split second after his knee hits but before the rest of his body hits that he'll reach the ball forward, and the extra reach is correctly subtracted from the spot. But look closely at the play. In this case, Willis did a great job of keeping his knee off the ground until the rest of his body came down, and the extra lunge forward came before he hit the ground, and he did get the first. At least thats what I see. I can't get on the refs here though, its a very difficult call and easy to get wrong. In most cases that spot would've been correct, but Willis put forth a good effort to keep his knee up which I believe went unnoticed.

Spikes is the only legitimate superstar on this team, and we all witnessed what happened to this defense when he went down last year. In fact, we got to see once again how much the D changes when he goes down just this past Sunday. The thought of benching him makes me queasy.

Perfectly legal. Once the ball is deflected, they can go ahead and tackle him if they wish.

Man do I love that play where Denney takes the back down for a loss on a pitch despite being basically tackled by the OT.

Yes...yes, he does.

He sounds like...a quarterback. My, how fast these kids grow up.

I think we did try one screen actually, but JP ended up throwing it into the ground because the back (I think it was Train, but it may have been Willis) was covered. If I'm not mistaken, that's the play where Phil Simms went into a rant about some new rule concerning intentional grounding, although it didn't sound any different than its always been.

Lions still ahead of us...

That annoys me more than anything else. I correct it every single time I hear it said, it just drives me crazy.

Oh, come on. You're all making it like he's on the Todd Collins-Rob Johnson level, and that just isn't the case. He's shown flashes of ability, but he isn't a smart QB and is inconsistent. Don't get me wrong, I like Losman and am glad we have him and not Brooks, but you guys are over doing it. Oh, was I welcome in this thread with a low post count?

Frustrating how it seems that every year they find a way to hold multiple first round picks. Why won't they just die?

That's classy.

What terrible mistakes did the Pats make? We almost won this game because we played a good game, not because they played badly. Both of their turnovers came on good plays from our defense (as opposed to Brady making a terrible decision or somebody fumbling), the Pats shut down our run in the 2nd half, and there were no blown coverages or costly penalties. Saying the Bills nearly won the game only because of mistakes from the Pats just has no grounds or credibility, and it sounds as if they didn't even watch the game they're commenting on.

I just can not follow your logic on the safety being his fault. He falls back on his third dropback step and gets hit from the left but evades it, takes a couple of steps to his right and gets blindsided. Blaming it on JP is ridiculous.

According to some, he wouldn't have done that for Jacksonville, Buffalo or Tampa Bay. I guess that same guy would've just taken his sweet old time.

Whitner by default as none of these guys looked great. Ellison was out of postion constantly, and I didn't notice Simpson in pass coverage or run support at all. With the Patriots running on us the way they did, I wouldn't think Williams could've played all that well and I only noticed him making one play. Whitner wasn't amazing but at least he got the pick. There's something to having a nose for the football as a defensive player and it was a nice play, cutting Watson's route off.

When you dozed off at halftime did he blow an airhorn in your ear?

Exactly. He's a bit more than midway through his rookie season in term of starts, but he's only had 1 !@#$ing start with this staff and this system. Give the guy a chance, Peyton Manning and Carson Palmer got more than 9 starts before they were labeled "winners" or "losers".

I support Willis, but we only have one option in response to this. It's time for the return of a short yardage legend. Bring back Kenneth Davis.

Wait, so what's the deal here? NBC has an exclusive on NFL highlights...except for SportsCenter? But they can't call the show PrimeTime?
