The Big Cat Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 I'd be 1-0* *denotes that the win is not really a win against the Patriots because Tim Tebow was the starting QB and we all know he sucks. So good try maybe you can get an actual win against the real Patriots in week 17 when Brady will be back. There are no style points, bro. There would be no asterisk. It's a win. Just like all our close-but-no-cigar games go down in the books as a LOSS. You play the players you have. We lost Kyle Williams and Freddy Jackson to injuries in 2011, and the season went to ****. Nobody gave us an asterisk then, either.

Strange, I didn't see one of those on the Bills record to denote "Ryan Fitzpatrick got flattened, broke multiple ribs, was in agony and lost all his confidence" back in 2011 Because injuries are part of the game. If Brady doesn't play week one, the game will be won and lost by the players on the field, not the guy riding pine. There are no style points, bro. There would be no asterisk. It's a win.

Right on, brother. READ FROM THE BOTTOM UP:
KD in CA Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 To be the best, you have to beat the best when they are at their best. Best?? I thought the Bills were still aspiring to mediocrity.
jaybee Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 I think Brady has become a giant d bag over the years, but cheering for injuries is low class. Obviously, I want the Bills to win but I'll never cheer for someone to get hurt. Very bad karma & Bills fans are better than that. That's Philly territory. Totally agree with that. Routing for injuries is just wrong. Besides, if we are gonna give this team a run for its money, or better yet win that game, doing it with NE at full strength would just make it that much sweeter. God I hate the Patriots, but I wish them and all the athletes good health. Injuries suck. I want Buffalo to beat NE more than you can imagine...and at full strength !
GG Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Did Tuel Fedex a package of rubber mats to Gillette?
The Big Cat Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 To be the best, you have to beat the best when they are at their best. To be the best, you have to first make the playoffs. To make the playoffs you have to get as many regular season wins as you can. The writing on the wall here is that if he's out for week one (highly unlikely, it sounds like), and we win, people here have already (four and a half weeks ahead of time) found something to B word about. Un !@#$ing believable.
kasper13 Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Injuries are a big part of the game. If Brady is out should they postpone the game until he is ready to play? Win is a win, I recall the Bills having to start a backup a few times when Kelly was injured in the playoffs no less. Still won. Bad karma? Check the last 13 years,
KD in CA Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 1. No one here is 'rooting' for an injury. 2. What's all this 'at their best' nonsense? You play your best 53 against their best 53, period. A game only counts if every single guy on both teams is in perfect health? Let me know the first time a game is played under those conditions. 3. In the future, please don't use an exclamation point in the thread title unless you've confirmed the injury is serious. I'm feeling a little disappointed now.
shoretalk Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 After coming out holding his knee, he then "jogged" off the field after rubbing his lower leg. He later returned to practice but left again so his status is unknown. As much as the Patriots have replaced the Dolphins as my most hated team, I do not want to see one of the stars of the game injured and I want to beat Brady with our defense and offense rather than allowing a preseason injury to change the game. http://espn.go.com/boston/nfl/story/_/id/9568132/tom-brady-new-england-patriots-leaves-practice-vs-tampa-bay-buccaneers

I'm feeling a little disappointed now. Man, I've never received so much grief over a punctuation mark before. I'll take it out if it's really bothering everyone lol
bills44 Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 I think that a few of the posters here are very distraught over this development.
KD in CA Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Man, I've never received so much grief over a punctuation mark before. I'll take it out if it's really bothering everyone lol I was joking.
MOFO Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Man, I've never received so much grief over a punctuation mark before. I'll take it out if it's really bothering everyone lol Punctuation makes a big difference- Let's eat Grandma vs. Lets's eat, Grandma.
K D Posted August 14, 2013 Author Posted August 14, 2013 I was joking. Lol me too, note the sarcastic period I've now added . You weren't the first to mention it so I guess the exclamation point had to go!!!!
Heitz Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Video of the injury (though it's hard to see what really happened, no mistaking him coming out of the pile holding his knee nor the fans saying "Oh noooooo!"): http://telly.com/13A55ZD Edited August 14, 2013 by Heitz

bobblehead Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 I hope Tom Brady is ok because the Patriots game on week one should be played fair and square, which is how the Patriot organization operates.
