nick in* england

Totally agree - inside the Maroon Zone with the season on the line at home we absolutely should not have tried to kick there. We should have lined up heavy and pounded the fricken ball behing Big Mike Williams and Damion Shelton...

I just thought too - that if we pound Willis into the line and fail to get the 1st - we just do it again. That shown confidence in the OL, the RB and challenges the team to go out an win in an agressive fashion. With so much on the line, running twice from inside their 40 yard line is a no brainer. Get the first and we are rolling and even if we don't get aTD we have a better percentage figgie available and the coaches have shown the players they have faith. We have not heard the last of this call - TMQ will lament our mincing call. The football gods frowned on us there.

ARRGGGHH! Indeed....

Baltimore, Jacksonville and Seattle. I think at the start of the season if someone told us we would have a winning record, only just miss the playoffs and be as good as the above 3 teams we would have all oretty much gone, OK - we'll take that considering Drew and considering we have a new coach... I am bummed right now - but thats a good season we just had.

I have seen TWO Bills games on TV this season. The New England debacle and last nights woeful performance. What frustrates me abouts yesterdays game is the total lack of conviction shown my the team down the stretch. A 9 minute drive by Pittsburgh scrubs. Over 100 yards rushing in the 2nd Half. Stupid turnovers. No reciever separation. Bad QB decisions and poor play calling. All we had to do in this game is keep the score low with the Pitt starters in and then ram the fuggin ball down their throats as their 2nd team D came in. Instead, we made mental errors, poor play calls, ridiculous blitzing calls to open up the secondary for Maddox and we had a QB that is operating on 3/4 speed at most of the time. What all of this tells me is that we were not ready for the big time. A lot was made by Murph and Van Pelt about how if you have momentum late in the season you have to get to the playoffs now cos you can't carry it over. Well I think that's crap. We got momentum late - but we remain a team that lost 5 out of its first 6 games, Not much chamged for us in the way we played, Our D remained dominant all season, giving up the odd stupid play, and our O had trouble getting it done for the most part when games relied on them scoring. I don;t think we are far away from being a late round playoff team. We have to work hard on our O this off season. Ignoring the eternal QB debate I see the key areas of deficiency as WR and TE. We need get a premier TE in Buffalo. I don;t know if we have that on our roster right now or if we need to find one elsewhere - but we need to get one. Also - our WRs need to learn how to catch a fuggin ball thats up for grabs. This has pissed me off this season - dropeed balls are by far the most frustrating part of watching a game. And then Drew. Wow - what can I say?? I screamed at the TV to get rid of the ball, that there were 8 guys blitzing and you have to see that. I went silent is horror as Drew threw balls that were regularly 5 yards short of the reciever and bouncing off the turf. I am not sure now if he needs to sit down. The idea that we lose the momentum we have gained this season by going with a yound Qb is scary. We were a playoff calibre team with Drew for the last part of this season right??? We can do more of the same next season right??? I know I am deluding myself a little here and my mind will change on this subject more times in the next 8 moths that a schitzophrenic - maybe Wyche should decide that JP is the MAN and go all out to work on him.... Also - did anyone nothice that Drews mechanics are really vewry poor - and have been all season? He old the ball wayyy to low on the dropbacks and side arms more balls that I care to mention, thus losing power and trajectory.... As as for Lindell - I mean, WTF?? Thats a makeable kick that you HAVE to make if you are going to be a playoff team that wins games. He's a liability and as far as I am concerned the best thing we could do is announce that we have cut him tomorrow. Moorman could do better........ And sorry for the long post - I just noticed Lothar has a similar thread on his thoughts for the season here Lothars thread. I agree with a great many of his thoughts.

Look I just need time to let it go.... I don't want to say this or that about Drew right now........

dont make me feel worse

I can't deal with y'all blaming Drew right now. I feel awful - and I really hate to see all the stojan stirrers round here start blaming Drew. I won't commit to an emotion about Drew Bledsoe at this time - but I think we all need to go away and root against the Jets and the Pats and the Steelers and enjoy Playoff football.... We can look forward to next season in the coming weeks - but for a few days lets not pin all of this on Drew.....

i didn't sleep at all last night (partly cos i was wired after an 8 hour drive from scotland to home)... so i am feeling pretty psyched now!!

cowbell!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have a niners fan coming around to watch the game..... he's a good buddy so he'll root for the bills with me!!

my wofe has lockewd herself in the bedroom because i am so unbearable... and i have been awake 5 hours longer than u guys!!!

i am sat here listening the the pregame show - watching NFL countdown, waiting for the game to come on the TV... i can't sit still........ i can't handle this!! i hope the playoffs aren't this bad!!

Just got back from an 8 hour drive from Edinburgh where we spent New Years - was very funny and cool.. Anyway - I cam home early cos the Wife is sick and I just found out they are going to show the Bills and the Broncos games back to back on British TV tomorrow!! I AM SO EXCITED...! ALL of tomorrow is given over to the Bills now... I am watching all the tapes and DVD's I can get my hand on in preparation... Happy New Year and GO BILLS!

RIP Reggie White

We'll rename this place Two Texans Drive for the next coupla hours...!

I got Jax and Hou on the radio... Indy and SD on the TV and Pitt on NFL.coM!!

Leftwich got a blow to the head.... looking woozy - but back up and throwing. End of 1 it is 7-0 Texans... DING DING DING

good to have you back ICE. Holiday wishes.

Leftwich hurt on the last play... KILLED while he tried to pick up a fumble... Sounds like he MAY return soon tho... This is good.

What he said... it's all about drinking what you didn't eat the day before and eating what you didn't eat. It's the day kids play with the less great toys they got the day before and the better movies are on TV! And there is no work for anyone!! Merry Xmas all - time to finish our game of Cranium and watch the Oak KC Game!

Morning all - been up for a few hours now with the Family... Hope you all get the loot and good times that you wished for this Xmas - and that you enjoy your day... Eat and be Merry..! Sunny and Cold here north of London

I was rooting for GB.... even tho they shafted us against the Jags... Glad they won!

That says all you need to know about E$PN right there.....

I still have a pair of Zubaz Slash Pants from when I was 13... :S
