Time for Bills to knock ‘rivals’ off cloud nine

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Every player has vivid memories of his first game. Defensive end Chris Kelsay made his NFL debut Sept. 7, 2003, in a 31-0 home win over the Patriots. Kelsay recalls Ryan Denney coming over to him in the jubilant dressing room and offering this sound bit of advice:

 

“Don’t get used to it,” Denney said.

 

Fat chance. The Bills haven’t beaten the Pats since then. Like Kelsay, you don’t need reminding. The Pats have won nine straight (and 14 of 15) in the series. Hardly what you’d call a rivalry.

 

“Nine times,” Kelsay said. “It’s fuel for the fire. You’ve got to take it personally.”

 

Shield your eyes if you must. Send the kids into the other room. The average score of those last nine losses is 32-10. That’s if you’re kind enough to

 

round up the Bills’ score. Last year, it was 94-17.

 

So the only thing Kelsay has gotten used to is walking off the field with a sinking feeling in his gut. Now here we go again. The Bills, desperate for a win after two straight AFC East losses, take on the dreaded Pats today in Gillette Stadium, where they have never won.

 

Both teams are 5-3, tied with the Jets for first. This isn’t the same Pats team that went unbeaten in the regular season a year ago. They don’t have Tom Brady, or Rodney Harrison, or Asante Samuel. The maintenance man is moving up the depth chart at running back.

At the end of this game I want there to be long lines at the ice baths in the Pets* locker room. When they wake up tomorrow I want them to be so sore they'll need walkers to get around the house. I want the guys who don't play to feel sore from just watching!! I want them all to have to stop at the local mini-mart to buy ice for the tub at home.

 

I WANT BUFFALO TO KICK SOME ASS!!! :devil: :devil: :rolleyes::angry::worthy:
