"The Lynch vs. Spiller matchup will be interesting to track simply because Lynch had proven to be a valuable commodity in the NFL. Not only that, he has shown to be a capable workhorse in a league that is trending towards platoon backfields. Spiller probably could be that player if the playcalling allowed for it, but that does remain a mystery at this point. Come Sunday, don’t take the Spiller vs. Lynch battle as an indication of which player the Bills should have kept, look at it as what could have been."

"If they built a stadium between both Buffalo and Rochester or even if it was in Rochester, do you think there would be the same outcry if the stadium was built in Fort Erie or Hamilton? Of course not.Why is that? Is it because of the border? Maybe. I think it is because of people being anti-Canadian and their pride as being Americans are hurt.
Buffalo is perceived as being emotionally distressed when larger city fans or personalities call them out for the city sucking, which we normally sulk about and fling back a petty insult. But we know if a New Yorker or Bostonian says we suck, we kind of take it. We think we are good, but we pretty much know they are better. In this instance, Buffalo vs. Toronto becomes an America vs. rest of the world battle. Americans seem to think they are above everyone else, right? We are the land of opportunity and we are the greatest country in the world. We are the envy of the universe. We are arrogant. Period. "

I look at how Chan Gailey has a really long history of running the football. Tons of stats

"My cousin is a substitute teacher in Buffalo, and from what he's told me, none of the kids he's taught this year like the Bills. From Amherst to Lancaster, no one's wearing the red, white, and blue. In one instance, he asked a class if they were going to watch the Bills play Miami on Thursday night and they all laughed at him as if he was Arnold Schwarzenegger insisting, "IT'S NOT A TUMOR!!" No one seemed to care. They all pretty much told him that the Bills sucked and asked why they would cheer for an inferior team? They all seemed to cheer for teams like Dallas or Pittsburgh."

" After a countless number of blunders and blown leads, the words were always hollow. But this time, they felt real and substantial.
“It doesn’t matter.”
The look on my girlfriend’s face was priceless.
“What did you say?”
“It doesn’t matter. Oh well.”
No screaming muffled obscenities into a pillow. No pulling out hair. No ripping off a jersey, throwing it against the wall while saying, “Never again.” Just a calm, cool “whatever.” The day I graduated from college with a degree in journalism with every intention of one day covering professional sports, it was clear that my days as a true fan were numbered."
Thanks for reading and let me know what you think!
