Still a good deal of work to do to be a top tier team in this league, but the bottom line is we're getting wins. 8 more and the curse is almost certainly over. One week at a time.

Heh - the MIA high after beating NE must deflating...
Fiat justitia ruat caelum. Noli timere. Laus Deo.

BOOM!
What do you PESSIMISTS have to say now?
Ready to change your minds yet.............or are you going to ride that short bus right off the cliff?
And beat two decent defenses!! Awesome! I'm so pumped!

I say we can beat San Diego.
Lou Saban: You can get it done, you can get it done. And what’s more, you’ve gotta get it done.
and if Green Bay can get their ass together we could be all alone in first in a couple hours.
If EJ continues to improve I think we can go into the bye at 6-2.
14-0 Jets.
Not looking good lol
That's correct. Plenty to still improve on.
Yet the Bills DO NOT look like a 2-14 team I was instructed they were by the resident doom and gloomers all spring and summer. Your kingdom is dead.
The other 31 teams are not all better, just because you're down on the Bills.
They WILL lose games and hit a cold streak.
But I allow the games to be played before playing taps.
Watkins was hurt and still kept coming back to make plays.
Spiller needs to be signed again. Makes too many big plays.
This team has talent and the D is good. **** the Pettine worship. Schwartz is a better DC.
Keep working and trying to improve.
The "clean house" crowd should try following cricket, since you obviously don't know a damn thing about NFL football.
2-0
Bring on San Diego.

not only that, but 1-0 in the conference and most importantly, 1-0 in our division!
I came.
I saw.
I conquered.

It's turning. Geno Losman is remembering who he is.
it turned
2-0 and alone atop the division at least for a week. Thanks for getting your head out of your asses Green Bay and thanks for Geno Smith playing like Geno Smith.
This thread is right up there with all of the biggest overreactions of past seasons.
Before he season Miami sucked, had no OL, a horrible QB, and no RBs. Today we learn that they had a decent defense and were a formidable team.
Chicago's defense was putrid last season and doesn't appear to have gotten much better. As for Miami, I know I had us penciled in for two wins there, I don't recall too many people picking a split with them much less dropping two. Figure if we can't win the home opener with all of the hype surrounding the game then what could we win.
I see a lot of overreaction here.
When we post a winning record please shake me awake.
Fun game to watch, but hardly much to get the hopes for an entire season on. We're not going to have that atmosphere every week.
We still have trouble moving the ball and generating 1st downs. Our defense which is supposed to be airtight against the run didn't do so well last week and did only moderately well against a weak Miami rushing offense this week. Lots of Miami miscues and officiating help this week too.
Time of possession is an issue again. Red Zone offense stinks. We're ranked 31s in 1st downs and 25th in 3rd down conversion percentage.
We've won on big plays. That's not the way to sustain an entire season.
Can't help but notice that everyone's talking up Manuel with some doing an "in your face" to critics of his, is Fitzpatrick good now too? After all he's got a better completion percentage than Manuel, more YPA, more TDs, fewer INTs and a much higher rating. In fact, he's the 2nd best rated QB in the league right now, is tied for 7th with Brees for TDS, tied for 6th with Brees in completion %, and ranked 2nd in YPA.
The overreactions are the funniest part of this forum. I'll bookmark the thread for when things settle down. It will be interesting to see so many people turning on their own statements later on this season.

The idea that you "won't settle" presumes that you have some kind of control. Delusional thinking at best for a supposed fan of a spectators' sport. Your way to deal with it is to constantly ***** and denigrate any move, any result concerning the team even if it's positive because you don't want your whittle feewings hurt again. It's a protection mechanism.
You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.
Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.
The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.
"I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."
"We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."
"We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.
Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)
"And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley
Chicago went to San Fran and won. Makes the Bills win look better.
Proving once again it's not about rooting for the team...it's about being right about failure.
Mark Weiler was an original.
