Ryan Fitzpatrick is getting the start.
(Alex Brandon / Associated Press)
The storyline

There is massive blowout potential here and we know the Patriots aren't above that.

Why you should watch
After scoring only 17 points in two games, Bills coach Chan Gailey decided to give Ryan Fitzpatrick (http://www.nfl.com/players/ryanfitzpatrick/profile?id=FIT792915) a shot under center, but will he make it through the game?

Did you know?
Bills WR Lee Evans (http://www.nfl.com/players/leeevans/profile?id=EVA454901) has 13 100-yard receiving games in his career. ... Buffalo is 14-3 when Terrence McGee (http://www.nfl.com/players/terrencemcgee/profile?id=MCG215622) has an interception. ... The Patriots have beaten the Bills 13 consecutive times. ... New England QB Tom Brady (http://www.nfl.com/players/tombrady/profile?id=BRA371156) has won 21 consecutive home games.

[Canadian'eh!]

Prediction: Bills come out of the tunnel wearing blindfolds and smoking cigarettes

[Dujek]

:gobills:

Can only see this ending one way, but hoping for a miracle.

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

I will be watching.... I find it hard not to rubberneck at accidents too. Just wondering if belecheat will be a major dick and run up the score again

[hammerbillsfan]

:chug:

[TacklingDummy]

Lets see what piss poor play calling Chan calls this week.

[Hogwasher]

I'm pissed off. I hate the patriots. I hate their owner, their fans, their players, their coach, former players, that stupid effing logo.

We can beat them today, and every single time we play them.

[Michael82]

Why is Jamon Meredith inactive? I'd rather see Cornell Green on the inactive list. :mad:

[ZAZusmc03]

Why is Jamon Meredith inactive? I'd rather see Cornell Green on the inactive list. :mad:
I was wondering the same thing. What a ****ing joke.

[Johnny Bugmenot]

Prediction: Bills come out of the tunnel wearing blindfolds and smoking cigarettes
Maybe they should just not show up at all. What would be the consequences of a forfeit?

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

I'll be donating 100 zonebucks to a worthy charity for every brady sack.
guess my zonebucks are pretty safe :)

[Scumbag College]

This is going to be brutal.

[YardRat]

:gobills:

[Philagape]

Trent would have been sacked on that play

[TacklingDummy]

Fitz with a 6 yard bomb to Lynch.

[TacklingDummy]

Bills moving the ball

[djjimkelly]

lynch is the starter here he will not be traded they should trade jackson

[Bufftp]

Is anyone excited for this game? Seriously?






Yes. I look forward to every game. I'm the eternal optimist! Go Bill!

[TacklingDummy]

First down.

[Michael82]

Notice how Fitzpatrick steps into the pocket and throws to Steve Johnson on 3rd and 3, past the markers....nice pass blocking too. :up:

[Bufftp]

Converted a 3rd and 3, progress already!
Followed by great run with Lynch!

[Bufftp]

Notice how Fitzpatrick steps into the pocket and throws to Steve Johnson on 3rd and 3, past the markers....nice pass blocking too. :up:
Pocket presence helps o-line!

[TacklingDummy]

lol@Lynch having great vision.

[Bangarang]

Bills are somewhat resembling a football team in this opening drive

[ParanoidAndroid]

That was just straight up good protection on 3rd down.

[Canadian'eh!]

Lynch has run well the first few weeks. He's more decisive, has good pop...

[TacklingDummy]

field goal

[Michael82]

Pocket presence helps o-line!
EXACTLY! I was saying this before...Edwards makes the OL look worse than it is...

[TacklingDummy]

Fitz with the terrible throw

[Michael82]

Fitzpatrick had single coverage on Evans and badly overthrew it... :ill:

[Michael82]

Horrible pass by a veteran QB. :ill: Oh well, we still got 3....

[TheBrownBear]

Alright. Only 3, but it's progress.

[Joe Fo Sho]

Fitzpatrick had single coverage on Evans and badly overthrew it... :ill:

At least he tried...

[Bangarang]

Is this the first time we've had a lead in a game this season?

[sven233]

Yeah.............good drive until that throw. NFL QBs make that throw just about every time.

But hey........it's progress.

[Canadian'eh!]

Interesting drive.

The Pats D is not very good IMO. They are playing it safe and not bringing much heat at all. I don't get the feeling Bilichicken has much faith in them. (though when they did blitz on that last play Fitz rushed the throw and missed a gimmie 1st down)

[Luisito23]

Horrible pass by a veteran QB. :ill: Oh well, we still got 3....


Evans' should've caught it!

[TheBrownBear]

Accuracy will always hold Fitzy back. But still, at least we have a chance of scoring double digits with him.

[Bangarang]

Trent must be looking at Fitz and asking himself what's in the binder that he's looking at

[Bufftp]

Horrible pass by a veteran QB. :ill: Oh well, we still got 3....
Well that's patten Fitz, some good throws followed by a bad one or bad decision.

[sven233]

Interesting........Fitz and Brohm talking with the coaches on the sideline. Edwards nowhere to be found. Not saying it means anything.......just saying......

[Michael82]

At least he tried...
true....Edwards would have fell on the ground and gotten sacked.

[Drev8]

We need Fitz's brain and Edwards accuracy.

[Ingtar33]

lets not get too excited, the pats defense is atrocious this year.

[Luisito23]

BTW where the F is the playaction??

[Michael82]

Trent must be looking at Fitz and asking himself what's in the binder that he's looking at
maybe he's wondering what's in his chest and head....a heart and a brain, something Captain Checkdown can use. :up:

[Bufftp]

lets not get too excited, the pats defense is atrocious this year.
True, but we are playing them today.

[Canadian'eh!]

maybe he's wondering what's in his chest and head....a heart and a brain, something Captain Checkdown can use. :up:


WHich is better than the body part you never use ....

[Canadian'eh!]

lets not get too excited, the pats defense is atrocious this year.
agreed.. and sadly, so is the Bills.

[TacklingDummy]

There's Whitner standing over the pile.

[sba]

There has to be a better player than Chris Kelsay on this roster to use in that spot.

[Canadian'eh!]

HEY!!! Is that our newest 24MILLION $ OLB getting completely fooled on an end around?

[Canadian'eh!]

Nice pressure by the Bills D there.

[TacklingDummy]

Tom "All Day" Brady

[TacklingDummy]

Where are those Maybin defenders?

[Philagape]

Ellison gets pantsed

[Canadian'eh!]

Nice to see Ellison getting back to form.

[Beebe's Kid]

Wow...we should look into a TE.

[X-Era]

Keith Ellison is awesome.

[PcA125]

This is going to be an ugly game. Ellison is getting abused out there

[X-Era]

Byrd needs to spend the next weak tackling the dummies.

[X-Era]

This is going to be an ugly game. Ellison is getting abused out there

Thats because he blows, always has, always will.

[TacklingDummy]

That was quick.

[Canadian'eh!]

What a joke.

I bet Ellison gets 24 mill after this game too.

[X-Era]

Why do we keep benching McKelvin?

[ZacGriffi~82]

Whitner is so intelligent.

[BertSquirtgum]

here's a game day post. the bills suck. that is all for now.

[X-Era]

My hope is that the Bills are paying Kelsay so that they finally have quality backups.

[Canadian'eh!]

surgical.

[X-Era]

Dear Chan,

Please realize that Mckelvin is your best corner and take him off the bench.

[Ingtar33]

The Pats looked like they were running that offense against the UB Bulls.

did anything not gain a min of 8 yards on that drive?

What a pass-rush... Marsha was absolutely untouched all drive.

I said earlier this week the Pats would hang 40 on us. unless they pull their starters or just run dive plays once they get up by 30 they might hang 70...

[PcA125]

Well lets look at the positives... at least we are able to get pressure on the qb :chuckle:

[Beebe's Kid]

Let's get a TD, eh, Fitzy? Turnover on D, then repeat.

[Bufftp]

Wow...we should look into a TE.
We did but Big Lot's and Sam's club were out of stock.

[TacklingDummy]

I feel a INT coming.

[Michael82]

I see that Bell is back in form with the penalties.... :ill:

[TacklingDummy]

Lynch is terrible.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Whitner totally bit on the play action..... left Moss uncovered.

[Michael82]

Now the useless Cornell Green holds on a ****ty offensive play....

[wmoz11]

How do you hold that badly on a 2 yard run :rofl:

[Mad Bomber]

Our OTs suck...penalty machines.

[sqad5]

LOL GReen

[TacklingDummy]

ROSCOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Philagape]

Wow nice run Roscoe, nice step-up and throw Fitz! No way that happens with Trent

[spacecowboy]

hey wooooo

[Michael82]

Wow...that was a horrid stat....the Bills have failed to complete the last 40 3rd and 10+. :puke:

[Ingtar33]

the run on 2nd and 22 was a surrender flag; but Rosco bailed them out.

[Mad Bomber]

Roscoe!!!

[Philagape]

Um screen pass to Green ..... ok

[TacklingDummy]

What the hell was that

[Michael82]

Nice pass on 3rd and long by Fitzpatrick...he stepped into the pocket and then Roscoe used his speed to get the 1st down. :bf1:

[sba]

Spiller is a joke.

[TacklingDummy]

Fitz = Super Bowl

[Michael82]

wow....Spiller sucks at picking up the blitz. :horror:

[wmoz11]

Horrible punt.

[Ingtar33]

awesome "lookout" block by Spiller.

[Luisito23]

Moorman is overrated...Not what he used to be.

[topher180]

Punter still the best position on the team after all these years.

[spacecowboy]

odds the Pats make the 1st?

[Mad Bomber]

Nice play by Scott.

[Ingtar33]

Moorman is overrated...Not what he used to be.

no... DeHaven is asking him to add to his hang-time... he prefers his punters to get insane hang-time and not out-punt the coverage (something Moorman does from time to time), so he's asking him to kick it higher not longer.

Or do you think a punter suddenly loses 5-15 yards of range?

[BertSquirtgum]

i want a pick 6.

[clumping platelets]

:clap:

[Michael82]

Nice stand by the defense! :up:

[helmetguy]

Disaster averted.

[IAG]

Spread it out and attack!

[topher180]

You know what NFL games need? More commercials.

[spacecowboy]

With this short field we need a TD

[X-Era]

Bell is playing fantastic actually.

[Philagape]

Lee evans sighting

[Michael82]

Nice pass to Lee Evans to convert the 3rd down...

[topher180]

OMG!!! Lee knows how to slant!!!!

[spacecowboy]

Hey who is that 83 guy?
lol

[Boomstick]

holy crap a slant!!!

[TacklingDummy]

FIELD gOAL

[X-Era]

Not Bells fault.

[TacklingDummy]

Wow, the Bills are #1 in the NFL for Red Zone.

[X-Era]

Unless he blocked the wrong guy... could be a coverage sack.

[spacecowboy]

WEAK

[Michael82]

Come on Bell! You gotta block better than that! :mad:

[Dr. Lecter]

Urbik is in for Wood

[TacklingDummy]

7-6

[clumping platelets]

We need a left offensive tackle that is not offensive

[X-Era]

Come on Bell! You gotta block better than that! :mad:

Looks like a scheme problem, he was unblocked. Bell went to block another player.

[clumping platelets]

Urbik is in for Wood


:scared:

[Luisito23]

Chan's horrible.

[topher180]

*braces self for ridiculous threads on how Fitz is the answer and they don't need to draft a QB*

[Dr. Lecter]

Looks like a scheme problem, he was unblocked. Bell went to block another player.
Another player that was blocked. I think he missed his assingment

[Ingtar33]

Bell blocked the right guy on that one. the O-line is supposed to block inside first. if you've got two rushers you take the inside guy every time; the line call was bad for the blitz that came; and fitz didn't get rid of the ball fast enough, or apparently recognize the blitz

[topher180]

Urbik is in for Wood

Who?

[Dr. Lecter]

Chan's horrible.
Meh. There is little talent on this team to work with

[X-Era]

Another player that was blocked. I think he missed his assingmentIt could be. I hope someone asks Chan about it. Bell has been playing very well actually in this game.

[PcA125]

why a shovel pass there? I just dont understand

[Michael82]

We aren't going to win this game with field goals.... :shakeno:

[Bangarang]

How long before we fumble the ball on these shovel passes?

[X-Era]

So we had Captain Checkdown... what is it now, Field Goal Fitz?

[Michael82]

A penalty against the Patriots?!?! :shocked:

[X-Era]

Our run D has done well so far.

[Michael82]

So we had Captain Checkdown... what is it now, Field Goal Fitz?
I like it. :up:

[Ingtar33]

We aren't going to win this game with field goals.... :shakeno:


you're correct. We've lost 13 in a row to the pats.

Playing for field goals will just guarantee we'll lose number 14

[X-Era]

Mckelvin is the best corner on this team.

[Michael82]

Wow....McKelvin 1-on-1 with Moss and he bats the ball down. Very nice! :bf1:

[Mad Bomber]

Nice play by McKelvin

[Dr. Lecter]

Fall onit Byrd

[TacklingDummy]

Bills first turnover

[Bangarang]

OMG we forced a turnover!

[Bufftp]

Ok O lets take advantage of this!

[X-Era]

Mckelvin lighting up the field.

[Canadian'eh!]

If NE challenges they will win I think.. Moss had the ball and was touched down.

[Mad Bomber]

FINALLY a takeaway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[X-Era]

Fall onit Byrd

I was screaming the same thing.

[Michael82]

Wow! The Bills got their first takeaway! Very nice. Randy Moss had the ball, but McKelvin fought hard to get it. :up:

[TacklingDummy]

Should be the Pats ball and Moss down by contact from McKelvin.

[Dr. Lecter]

Mckelvin is the best corner on this team.
No doubt

[TacklingDummy]

Super Bowl

[X-Era]

I wish Parrish would quit dancing as much as he does.

[Michael82]

Mckelvin is the best corner on this team.
Agreed! I love what I've seen from him so far. He's definitely improving. :up:

[Beebe's Kid]

Fitzy is 10x the QB Edwards is

[X-Era]

Get ready for it... Field Goal Fitz

[Michael82]

We NEED to get a TD here. Let's Go Buffalo!!!

[TacklingDummy]

Who said the Bills strength is their run game?

[Luisito23]

PLAYACTION!!!!

[Beebe's Kid]

**** yeah!!!!

[X-Era]

Yep, hes a bust

[Michael82]

WOO HOOO! Nice run by CJ SPILLER!!!!!!!!! :bf1:

[TheBrownBear]

F'yeah! Billieve baby!

[Mad Bomber]

Nice run by Spiller!

[TacklingDummy]

Wow Lynch is terrible

[X-Era]

Anyone else watching the blocking Bell is doing? He looks real good.

[Michael82]

Fred Jackson is the only RB not doing anything so far....

[X-Era]

Had a guy totally open to the right

[Mad Bomber]

Let's get a TD

[Michael82]

Anyone else watching the blocking Bell is doing? He looks real good.
yeah, he's been impressive. It looks like he's finally 100%.

[spacecowboy]

Spiller TD woooooo

[X-Era]

Hes a bust

[TacklingDummy]

Super Bowl.

[Philagape]

Good block by Evans

[Dr. Lecter]

Woot!!!!
Wood is back in too

[Billz_fan]

Amazing how much better the team looks with some better QB play :up:

[helmetguy]

Spiller sightings!

[Beebe's Kid]

About time this bust made a few plays! He ****ed over Edwards.

[ServoBillieves]

...

[Mad Bomber]

WOOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!

[clumping platelets]

CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!

[TheBrownBear]

Wow, just how fuggin bad was Edwards? Looks like Chan isn't a complete ****** now that's he's got a minimum mediocre QB in there.

[X-Era]

Amazing how much better the team looks with some better QB play :up:

And how much better we will look when we get a franchise QB!

[Michael82]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

TOUCHDOWN CJ SPILLER!!!! It's SPILLER TIME! :dance:

[Billz_fan]

Get just a little better QB play and things don't look so bad.

[topher180]

Last week on BZ: "Spiller a bust"

This week on BZ: "Spiller is a pro-bowler"

Here's to over-reaction.

[Canadian'eh!]

Nice playcall on that TD.....

On the previous play Fitz threw a crap ball to Lee though. Either drop it on the back Pylon or back shoulder it towards the front Pylon... but don't effing throw it into the middle of the sideline. Arrington had NO clue where it was and would not have stopped either throw. His only chance was one that hit him right in the back because it's in a crap location.

I know i'm splitting hairs after a TD... but to win consistently you need your QB to get that right the first time.

[Michael82]

Amazing how much better the team looks with some better QB play :up:
EXactly! So many of us said that all it takes is a good QB and it makes the OL look better....looks like we were right! :up:

[Ingtar33]

Nice playcall on that TD.....

I know i'm splitting hairs after a TD... but to win consistently you need your QB to get that right the first time.

-especially since one of our TEs was completely uncovered on that play.

[topher180]

So hey, where's all the people who say it's all the OL? You can make plays, even with bad blocking. That's what competence QBs do sometimes, and good QBs do most of the time.

[X-Era]

Last week on BZ: "Spiller a bust"

This week on BZ: "Spiller is a pro-bowler"

Here's to over-reaction.

Yep, he's a bust.

It makes sense to label a player after 2 starts.

[Beebe's Kid]

I guess I'll take progress not perfection.

[Michael82]

Nice drive by the Bills offense. I love what Gailey is calling so far. The running game is working well too. Spiller needs to get the ball more though.

[topher180]

Nice playcall on that TD.....

If there was a Thanks x 10 button I would use it.

[Michael82]

So hey, where's all the people who say it's all the OL? You can make plays, even with bad blocking. That's what competence QBs do sometimes, and good QBs do most of the time.
Exactly! :hi5:

[X-Era]

Please dont start giving them the run

[BertSquirtgum]

donte whitner is so bad

[X-Era]

Just as quick as we make a step forward, we take 2 steps back.

[Billz_fan]

Yep, he's a bust.

It makes sense to label a player after 2 starts.


I agree but alot of that was coming from everyones frustration on how bad the team was looking overall and Trents absolutely dismal QB play. Spiller was getting caught up in the wash of all that. Im not so sure the team wasn't responding just like we were to Trent.

[X-Era]

A frikkin backup to a backup got a 20 yard run.

[topher180]

So, how are they going to blow this? Turnover, bad coaching, penalties....take a stab at it.

[Mr. Pink]

We just need to root for the Pats offense to shoot themselves in the foot and get a penalty or random fumble to stop them apparently.

[Billz_fan]

I don't think the defense knows how to play with a lead :laughter:

[TacklingDummy]

13.5 is looking good

[X-Era]

So, how are they going to blow this? Turnover, bad coaching, penalties....take a stab at it.

Letting them run all game

[PcA125]

So, how are they going to blow this? Turnover, bad coaching, penalties....take a stab at it.

cant stop the run

[sqad5]

Now look the offense does something now the defense will suck

[ZacGriffi~82]

good job stroud.

[Michael82]

Danny Woodhead? Signed a couple days ago and the Bills let him run for 22 yards and a touchdown?!?! :rofl: :lmao:

:puke:

[X-Era]

Keith Ellison taking the wrong gap... he's never done that before.

[BertSquirtgum]

they just ripped our defense to shreds. it was pathetic.

[Ingtar33]

awesome defense

[X-Era]

You cant win in a shootout with the Pats.

[TacklingDummy]

Fitz will throw a INT on this drive.

[spacecowboy]

Its the Swiss cheese D

[sven233]

Amazing run defense on that last series.......ugh...

[Billz_fan]

Danny Woodhead? Signed a couple days ago and the Bills let him run for 22 yards and a touchdown?!?! :rofl: :lmao:

:puke:

The Kid is a player, he looked good on Hard Knocks. Im surprised they could not find a way to keep him.

[Canadian'eh!]

barf.

[Mr. Pink]

So far the theme of this game is...if New England commits a first down penalty, they don't do anything...no penalty and they score a TD.

[TacklingDummy]

Pass protection has been the best they played all year.

[X-Era]

Wildcat

[X-Era]

Nice extra yards for Lynch

[Canadian'eh!]

despite all the complaints about him, i really think Lynch is playing very well.

[X-Era]

Yes, Lynch is playing well.

[spacecowboy]

Crap could Lynch be more wild with the ball swinging it all over the place

[Michael82]

Stop dancing Lynch! You could have had more than 10 easily if u hit the ****ing hole!

[BertSquirtgum]

i thought the jets were stupid for not finding a way to keep woodhead.

[Joe Fo Sho]

DAMN!!! Did you guys see how good Edwards looks on the sideline??!!

[RoscoeMagic]

Let's go Buff!!!

[X-Era]

I dont have a problem with quick throws... but let them develop just a bit more.

[spacecowboy]

Fitzmonster

[X-Era]

Why is 68 in for Bell? Now Bells back in.

[X-Era]

Horrible throw

[Billz_fan]

nice 1st down run !!

[X-Era]

30 seconds left, dont throw a pick... take the FG.

It is Field Goal Fitz afterall.

[spacecowboy]

Wow a QB that falls forward and doesn't cower

[Joe Fo Sho]

nice 1st down run !!

Imagine how good we'd be with MICHAEL VICK

[IAG]

Kick it. Get points.

[X-Era]

Imagine how good we'd be with MICHAEL VICK

We had that chance at him, Philly wont give him up now.

[TacklingDummy]

Field Goal

[Michael82]

Is Fitzpatrick trying to get killed? He keeps going head first and the Jets will take him out to win the game.

[Joe Fo Sho]

We had that chance at him, Philly wont give him up now.

I know... just sayin

[X-Era]

You've got time to take a few shots.

[Mad Max]

when's the last time you saw a Bills lineman dap one of our QB's?

[Boomstick]

Bellicheat has moobs? Lol

[imbondz]

1st down, with :28 seconds left, you try for a TD.

[X-Era]

Go for it.
