Yeah I know we lost the game, but I feel we went into one of the toughest stadiums in the league and were in position to win the game. If a few calls and bounces went our way we would be sitting at 2-1. Either way this team is very exciting and although I am not writing this year off or anything I can hardly wait untill next season when TD can address some of our defensive issues!!

GO BILLS

BRING ON DA BEARS!!!!

young teams make mistakes more frequently.we'll be going through plenty of growing pains this year.

I think we will win this week at home against the Bears. It's the first time i have actually been confident rather than hopeful going into a gamein about three years. If they win this game they will be 2-2, and anyone who felt that before the season started the Buffalo Bills would be 3-1 after playing the Jets and Bears at home and the Vikings and Broncos on the road would have likely been laughed at by football fans, writers, oddsmakers, and anyone that follows the game closely. This is a pretty good team right now on the verge of being special IMO in a year or so. We can and should enjoy the ride. if they don't win next week, then perhaps they are further away than I happen to think, but they are close to being very good.

This is clearly a team that is capable of playing with anyone.

Thus, losing cannot be accepted. Winning must be expected or it won't happen.

We were 3-13 last year and have a very young team. I can accept losing tough games.

I can't, because I don't want my team to accept it.

True, Judge. I agree with you completely. But there has to be a maturation process. The Pats lost the first two games last year and continually got better. The Ravens were VERY good at the end of the year before they made their Super Bowl run. The Rams made a big jump but they, too, didn't go from completely awful to completely great in one game. We were pretty terrible last year. But hopefully, our maturation came in these three games, 1-2, and we springboard now to only accepting winning as an outcome. I think we are close to that.

Yeah but we don't play so it doesn't really matter how we feel. I agree that I don't want the players on the team to accept it.

So you think we will have no chance against the Bears, who have been struggling at home in front of a sell out crowd?? Come on man.

If that's true, how come you're still breathing air on this planet? Your life and existence should have been unacceptable years if not decades ago.

I truly dont Thurm, sorry bro but thats my honest opinion....You guys are still looking to Gell together and the only thing youve been able to do is tell the WRs to go fetch the ball....

WCF-

You of all people should love this team- a classical late 80's Dan Marino blueprint-

throw for 1,000 in 3 games yet spin yer wheels at 1-2
