I'm tired of it, though I understand why people say it. And if the Bills do manage to beat them, prepare to hear the exclusive reaction being, "What's wrong with the Patriots?"

THIS

THIS The Bills have come far enough along that they ought to be into the game thinking they can beat the Pats, regardless of whether CJ or Fred play. I'm not sure they are there yet, but this will be a huge test of how far they have come. It's the way the Pats were playing the Bills in 2000 or 2001, when the relative strengths of the teams were turning. The Bills had beat up on them for a decade, and the long dominance of the Pats over them had not begun. Smart money would say the Bills had their number. Well, that has to stop sometime. Someone's going to give the Pats three straight losses soon; why not us?

I'll dissent. Loud, ranting, !@#$, sports analogue of Rush Limbaugh. A high-schooler's version of clever.

Thanks. Sorry to have caused needless strife.

I have to give Nix props for seeing that Glen could be a superior tackle when all the experts were saying he was a guard. He's still learning, but he is a beast. I was very impressed with his downfield blocking. The o-line, if they can stay healthy, is going to make itself known.

I agree it did not affect the outcome of the game. I was just surprised. I'd like to see the actual reply from the broadcast, as it looked pretty clear there.

wrong

Here's the video. Look at the final replay. http://www.nfl.com/videos/buffalo-bills/0ap1000000062671/Dwayne-Bowe-scores-again

It certainly looked to me that Bowe's second foot came down clearly and unequivocally out of bounds. I thought all TDs were reviewed. Why wasn't this one reversed?

This makes sense to me. The Bills are going to have to move up to get a blue chip QB prospect, and then hope to hell he isn't Jamarcus Russell or Vinde Young one of the other "can't miss" QB prospects who fail to work out. It will be a big risk, but I agree that the lack of a first rate QB is holding this team back.

Exactly: I did not see the defense play any worse in the final six minutes than they had the entire game. They never stopped the Jets before then; why should they be able to after then?

"...go for the 3 & out"? When did the Bills make the Jets go 3 & out in teh game? Oh, that's right . . . NEVER. Fitz stank in this game, but the defense was beyond belief bad. That was the biggest problem, to me.

I figured I'd say McLovin and I'd be the only one, but apparently quite a few of you feel similarly.

This. All you "run the ball" fanatics think this o-line is the 1993 Redskins hogs and are vastly mistaken. The reason the Bill have run so well is BECAUSE of the spread. Those holes are not going to be there if the Bills try to grind it out in a closed formation. Proof of this is that, when the Bills are in short yardage and try to go power running, they tend to get stuffed at the LOS.

He meant "vaunted" but he doesn't know English.

You keep saying they could ahve gone into the locker room with the lead. They didn't HAVE the lead. They were tied 7-7.

Yeah, that must be it.

I know that. That's why I asked him about Mario Williams, who also played for NC State. As did Jim Ritcher, and a number of other quality players for the Bills and other teams. What's the point? That McCargo was a bust? Thanks for the update.

Peachy. I guess I don't understand what the snark about the van with flat tires was about. But go with God.

Feeling hostile, are we?

Do you feel that way about Mario Williams?

If it draws a penalty, it's a problem. You may think the refs are being too strict, but he drew three penalties last season for celebrating. It's a problem.

I teach at NC State, and yesterday while on campus I saw a car with a Bills sticker of the charging buffalo, but in the banner trailing from its horns was written "11--TJ" Graham was a big favorite here. If only we could have drafted Russell Wilson as well, Buffalo would have been NC State North.

Well, if madtowntobuffalo was using a bowling ball and you used marbles, it's no wonder you got crushed.
