Alright! Bring on the Dolphins.

[BillsWin]

This loss sucks alot because we could have won and had every opportunity to do so. Also, coaching was pretty much awful (4th and one, down by two possessions with 7:00 left and you punt? Give me a break.)

Defense looked good until they quit.

But hey, noone thought we'd win that one anyways, even I who predicted a 10-6 season put us at 1-2 through three games, there are 13 left. we have an even bigger game coming up, because 2-2 is managable, but 1-3 and 0-2 division is not good.

Bring on the fish. Its a must-win!!!!

[Dr. Pepper]

bring on the dolphins? really? its been 5 minutes.

[BillsWin]

Im trying not to dwell on a loss to an NFC team or read the negative threads and posts that will litter the board for the next week.

[Mike13]

should be a good game, 2 ****ty teams against each other.

[Syderick]

yea squish the fish

[Borosai]

Possible moral victory: not going 0-6 in the division!

Do it.

[BillsWin]

lets go 1-1 in the division to start the year!

[cocamide]

F*** it. We knew at the beginning that we weren't a playoff team, so let's just beat the Fins. This is our SB. Zero and four for the gay sharks.

[Nighthawk]

Oh goodie...we'll go down and win a game we should, against a bad Miami team and then everybody will think this team is good again and going to the playoffs. I just can't get into a team coached by this loser...he takes the fun out of watching Bills games!

So... you'd rather the team lose to the Dolphins so you can say "I told you so"?

[Night Train]

OK

Let's beat the Dolphins 6-3 to snap the divisional drought, while still giving the moaners plenty to scream about.

Everyone wins. :rolleyes:

[Nighthawk]

So... you'd rather the team lose to the Dolphins so you can say "I told you so"?

No, I'd rather see Dickey leave then know that this team will never win anything with him leading this team. I'm just so annoyed with this team...

[trapezeus]

this is getting hard. of course i want to win, but i don't want there to be a built in excuse to keep jauron longer than we have to. 0-3 in the next three weeks with a piss the game away attitude will bring out the boo birds and be a major problem for the FO.

You'll have people showing up with signs asking to fire jauron. They'll be forced to at least get rid of him.

[Nighthawk]

Wow, people if you want to neg...at least grow a pair and tell me who did it. Don't be an f'n pussy!

Understand your point. I went into today's game of course hoping we'd win but still having the expectations of losing. It's gotten to the point that the expectation of losing is such the norm that I dont even get upset like I used to after a loss.

Even if we destroy Miami (which probably wont happen), I'd sadly still find enough to get annoyed at, even if it was as simple as a closeup of his expressionless face on the sideline sucking away the joy of it.

Thank you! This is exactly how I feel! Even when they win, there is still that thought in the back of my mind that eventhough they won, they are not good enough to win against the good teams and this team is not going to win anything. That just isn't a fun way to watch football and that's what having Dickey as HC has done to me.

[cocamide]

Ditto.

Your whole quote "Wow, people if you want to neg...at least grow a pair and tell me who did it. Don't be an f'n pussy!" I got neg repped too.

Oh, Ok...I get it...sorry about that...didn't understand what you're getting at. Yeah, drives me nuts...whenever I neg somebody (which is rare), I at least sign it so that person knows I did it.

[Oaf]

@ NE- We were easily supposed to lose, we did. The Pats are still a force.

TB- Were supposed to win, we did.

NO- We were supposed to lose, we did.

Sure it would have been nice to steal a game we expected to lose, and we've had our chances, but we need to focus on winning the expected games and capitalizing next chance we get to win against a favorite.

And this gets you absolutely nothing...how do you win in the playoffs if you can't beat good team?

[DMBcrew36]

But hey, noone thought we'd win that one anyways


Come on man. You know this is a loser attitude.


This game was there for the taking. It just again points to the inferiority of Dick Jauron as a coach and the fact that Trent Edwards is a coward.

[Mad Bomber]

The fact that we got beat doesn't bother me as much as how bad our offense looked.

[DMBcrew36]

I'm with you man. There is no excuse for not getting the ball to Evan and Owens on a semi-regular or regular basis.

[Brown42000]

Should be a close game. Maybe Miami will keep doing what works this game once they get in the red zone.

Edit: Are you guys any good against the run?

[TigerJ]

Any word on how Pennington's shoulder is? If Pennington is out, Miami's game goes in the toilet.

[Brown42000]

From the looks of it I would say Pennington isn't going to play. I hope Henne can come through and play a solid game. But either way Miami is going to run the ball and do it with success.

Henne does open the offense up due to his big arm so we will have to wait and see how everything plays out with that.

Well we were good in the first two games. Not so much this week.

What bothers me is that it wasn't just bad on the outside (it was horrible on the outside), it was also bad up the middle. Our DT's are usually pretty good against the run. It's usually our LB's running sideline to sideline that is the weakness. Today everything was a weakness, especially at the end.

[HHURRICANE]

Just curious, what happens if we lose?

[Nighthawk]

Just curious, what happens if we lose?

Someone will find an excuse about how it was a moral victory to almost win.

[Bmax]

Joey Porter has to be smiling ...he can't wait to line up against our Off Line...

The Dolphins will try to run it down our thoarts and Bliz the daylights out of Edwards...

As a Michigan fan, I would very much like it if Henne started. He's got all the tools to being a decent QB in this league - at least, as good as Trent Edwards, right out of the box.

What do you expect the D to do when they were on the field as long as they were in the second half? The DT's were not the problem it was the LB's.

[Owen DeBoard]

I would by no means look past the Dolphins even though they are 0-3. The way this team played today Miami will get there first win next week.

Well if the defense from this week shows up for the Bills you are going to see your defense cramping up and dropping like flies in the heat this coming week. It may be a 4:00 game but the heat is still very serious down in Miami.

I for one am hoping for the defense that showed up against NO.

I hope he can come through. It would really suck to have to draft another QB

I agree

[Brown42000]

This is all rotoworld has:

NFC's Peter King reports that Chad Pennington (shoulder) is doubtful for Week 4 against Buffalo.
Chad Henne is set up for his first career start. "I'm hoping for the best and preparing for the worst," Pennington told the Palm Beach Post. "I'm not saying a lot because I just don't know." Pennington, who may have dislocated the shoulder, will visit a specialist on Monday. An AC sprain like Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford's could cost him as many as 3-4 games.

pennington's out for your guys game

i expect henne to throw one to two pick 6's next week


weddle made him look stupid today

also expect TO to go off big time because of his zero game

[mysticsoto]

I'm sorry, but as disgusted as I am w/Jauron and his inability to get this team to win, I just cannot bring myself to root for the fins to beat us.

Joey Porter is probably doing anything but smiling right now. From Chris Brown's blog:



The Bills travel to Miami in Week 4 and may face the Dolphins other Chad (Henne) at quarterback after Chad Pennington left Sunday’s game with a right shoulder injury.
Pennington has had two surgeries on his throwing shoulder for an injured rotator cuff. What lies ahead for the veteran QB remains to be seen, but he left Sunday’s game (http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d812f4db5&template=with-video-with-comments&confirm=true)against the Chargers.
Joey Porter is also nursing a hamstring injury so the Bills aren’t the only team that figures to be shorthanded this coming Sunday.

[jcdavey]

Joey Porter is probably doing anything but smiling right now. From Chris Brown's blog:also a couple dolphins olinemen got hurt on their second to last drive, i believe

[Dr. Pepper]

yeah i understand, i was just super bummed after another ****ty performance.

[LtFinFan66]

also a couple dolphins olinemen got hurt on their second to last drive, i believehaven't seen anything mentioned on any Dolphins sites about O-linemen getting hurt. Definitely can't afford that

[chernobylwraiths]

I'm sorry, but as disgusted as I am w/Jauron and his inability to get this team to win, I just cannot bring myself to root for the fins to beat us.

I won't be rooting for the Dolphins, but maybe a loss to the Dolphins would push Ralph over the edge with Jauron.

[Mike13]

How's Buffalo's run defense? Ronnie and Riicky have been on fire, if only we didnt give up on the run the second we're down.




pennington's out for your guys game

waddle made him look stupid? I wouldnt say that it was just a rookie mistake, he didnt scan turn his head quick enough, so it was easier for teh LBs to read his eyes, plus we had been running that stupid ****ing play all damn day.

[Static]

I will be rooting for my team, Hopefully it will be an exciting game.

[mysticsoto]

Run D appears to be what we are best at. Last week we were #4. This week we'll probably drop b'cse the Saints juggernaut offense got some yardage, but nevertheless, it is our strongpoint - along with protecting the endzone.

[justasportsfan]

I wouldn't be surprised if the fishies stack the line with 8 players and dare Trent to throw it deep. Trent has lost confidence in himself and his wr's.

I think the WRs are starting to lose confidence in him and the O-line, also.

[HHURRICANE]

The fins had played pretty well in the first two weeks. Having Pennington out is huge for us.

With that said I'm not feeling all that confident that our idiot team can win this game.

It's going to be a "who can suck less" game.

[HHURRICANE]

I think the WRs are starting to lose confidence in him and the O-line, also.

Maybe Edwards is starting to lose confidence in his WRs.

[justasportsfan]

YUp, he loses confidence once they run for more than 10 yards. "OMG , why are they running for more than 10 yards?"

[Brown42000]

also a couple dolphins olinemen got hurt on their second to last drive, i believe

Vernon Carey came back later on in the drive so he'll be good to go.

[mybills]

:squish:

[psubills62]

I have to say, I wasn't happy with Edwards' play yesterday. But his WR's haven't exactly had sticky hands. They've dropped multiple catchable balls.

[Mike13]

If he wants to go deep now is the time to do it.

I think when the ball gets thrown their way they are so surprised that they drop the ball.

I don't care if they drop the ball. You keep throwing it to them anyways.
