MartyBall4Buffalo Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 They are a VERY good team, but I'm not gonna concede that game, or any other, before it has even been played. We have a chance to win ANY game and this one is NO different Well you're certinally entitled to that. It's just been so long since we've beaten them, and mostly watching Bills/Patriots game has come off as nothing more then a running joke. It's an embarrassment to how football should be played. I would love nothing more then to see Buffalo get that monkey off their back. When it comes to NE/Bills games I just expect the Bills to lose. Hopefully that changes soon.
Alphadawg7 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Sorry - I didn't see it. This isn't directed at you, but there's probably nothing I find more annoying on this board than when people schoolmarmishly chastise others for starting new threads on an issue and do so under the assumption that everyone really has the time to go through all the various thread titles before posting on a topic. Its all good, I hear ya...just that this thread had several going and all were at top until they merged them...no biggie...just teasing a bit...
BillsWatch Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Maybe New England will get hit by a hurricane, Boston area shut down and it will end up being closing game or bye week game not opener.
TheBuffalo Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 It's official: the season will begin with the return of Brady and a likely blowout of the Bills in Schick Super II Stadium. Bills 26-24
dave mcbride Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 Its all good, I hear ya...just that this thread had several going and all were at top until they merged them...no biggie...just teasing a bit... Fair enough. Like I said, it wasn't directed at you.
BLZFAN4LIFE Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 It's hard to win in the NFL. We certainly would like to be 1 and 0 but obviously we're disappointed.
dave mcbride Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 If you're referring to Jauron's first game as Bills HC, it was in Foxboro. Whitner had an interception that should gone to the house, effectively winnning the game for Buffalo, but he was mysteriously called out of bounds during the return. The replay shows that his foot missed the sideline by a good two and a half feet. We can totally win this game. Yep - the Ralph game was that scintillating 28-6 drubbing. My error.
dave mcbride Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 Bills 26-24 If you really think Jauron has a chance against Belichick, I strongly recommend reading this so that you aren't surprised by the outcome on opening day: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/cs-0211...0,6451445.story
Magox Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 It's official: the season will begin with the return of Brady and a likely blowout of the Bills in Schick Super II Stadium. Thanks for the info
Mr. WEO Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 That was in New England, week 1. Takeo Spikes destroyed Tom Brady the first play of the season and London Fletcher scored a touchdown- that was pretty much the turning point of the season. It was all downhill from there. Do you remember Donte Whitner returned an interception for a TD that was called back on a phantom call in that game too? The Bills should've won that game. Spikes and Fletch--just not good enough to keep on this team of stars.

Another trademark Dick Jauron Signature Epic Collapse.
Trader Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 oh man, we're in deep sh--. Actually that is a good thing. Russ Let's get it moving in FA. Lynch will not be on the roster that day you need an OG, a A couple of healthy RB's. A LB and a starting guard. And you need them week number one. Russ You are not likely to get a second chance at GM in this League. And DJ this is the end of the line for you also. It's win this year or else for both of you. Get it done!
keepthefaith Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I wouldn't call it 0-1 so fast If we lose... this might be the wakeup call that we need I think we can win You think the Bills need a wake-up call?

It's hard to win in the NFL.
Rayzer32 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Will Tom Brady be the comeback player of the year or will it be Fred Taylor after he rushes for the most yards ever on a MNF game. Why does the NFL hate Buffalo so much.....WHY?
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Sorry - I didn't see it.

So Dave, what you are saying is that you can't be bothered to read what other people write, but rush in here to start threads for other people to read, the people you just insinuated were losers with no lives because they bother to read threads they do not start? Just checking to make sure I have that correct.
billnutinphoenix Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Even I, the most negative of Bills fans, can't say 0-1 right off the bat...it is 5 1/2 months away....

The officiating overall in that game was the worst I've ever seen--TMQ even mentioned how bad it was in his column that week. The Pats* were called for 1 penalty all game, while in addition to the gem you mentioned the Bills got several ticky tack calls go against them in the 4th quarter to basically seal the deal for the Pats*. Most galling of all, they won by 2 on a safety--the play before the safety was a sack where the Pats* DE was about three feet offsides when the ball was snapped and yet no call. Go figure....
