All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
when you see it in that context, it looks freakin' awesome. How are we not getting more national press? If Manning wasn't setting records, I bet the Bills would be talked about more.
My faith doesn’t make me perfect, it makes me forgiven.
We are playing better football then the Patriots are right now and we are doing it quietly. I love it.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
If you are going to throw out stats.. be sure to include the WHOLE truth. Of these teams that we have racked up these points on, NONE of them have winning records!

New England has beaten 1 team (the Ravens) with a winning record in their last 5
The Colts - have beaten 1 team (the Ravens) with a winning record in their last 5 wins
Philadelphia - has beaten 1 team (the Packers) with a winning record in their last 5 wins
Pittsburgh - have beaten 2 teams (the Jets & Jaguars) with winning records in their last 5 games
San Diego - has beaten 1 team (the Broncos) with winning records in their last 5 games
It's still a big deal.

Buffalo - 37.4

“You hold a players only meeting and get each guy to stand up and say what he can bring to the table... and if he doesn't, you punch him in the face.” ~~ Harry Neale, on how to fix the Sabres season.
I was bored at work, so if anyone cares I calculated the amount of points each team has given up over those same five games too.
Pitt. - 10.0
Indy - 13.4
NE - 14.2
Philly - 14.6
Buff - 16.4
SD - 17.8
So the Average margin of victory for each team over those 5 games...
Indy - 21.8
Buff - 21.0
NE - 17.2
Pitt - 11.6
Philly - 10.4
SD - 8.0
Averaging 3 more TD's per game then your opponent is pretty good. I didn't realize the Colts have been stepping it up on D. They're gonna be a scary team in the playoffs.
I just saw a breakdown of Buffalo's TD scoring over the past five games on Prime Time. I goes something like this:
Offense: 17
Defense: 2
Special Teams: 3
I'm not much of a stat rat, but tell me, is there a formula somewhere that must be followed for a win to be a win? Detractors on this board keep carping that "we're beating crap teams." Many of those same detractors expressed concern about Cincy yesterday, but now include them in the "crap" category. Then there's the issue of the "offensive output." Seems to me that we've been averaging over 3 offensive TDs a game over that 5 game stretch. Do they count less because we didn't drive 90 yards for every one?
I'm just pissed at anyone who feels the need to diminish the accomplishments this team has made. MM is onto something, and I like it. It's called Total Team Football.
Someone said "What's he gonna turn out like?" Ha!
And someone else said "Never mind!"

People talk about Manning's quest to pass Marino's single-season TD record, but was there even one mention in the media that Drew just passed Joe Montana for #7 on the all-time completion list (besides the Buffalo News)??????
