    Mario got replaced by Watt; Fitz got replaced by Manuel

    Right now, the Texans are probably winning on both fronts.

    The biggest advantage, however, is home field.

    Having said that, never underestimate the motivation for revenge. Fitz is a gunslinger and you can bet he's going to sling it this Sunday, particularly if the Bills play to their D strength and stop Foster. I really miss Kiko for this game. Actually I think most of the confusions on defense last week can be traced back to that as well: kiko called defense plays last year and he played almost every play. I don't know who's doing that this year (Aaron Williams?).

    Mario will get his sack. He always do in this kind of situations. Just hope it is on an important 3rd down.

    Rac runs the traditional 34 as he has done since the days in NE. I bet Pepper Johnson should see something familiar on tapes for the Bills. On offense, O'Brien is Marrone's best buddy, so I assume they know each other well. I expect this game to be a low scoring slugfest. How EJ handles a loud dome environment (communications problem for this young offense) might determine the outcome. To be honest with you, despite the urge of everyone wants EJ to let it go and take more risk, I'd be glad to take his stats line (not the quality of plays) from the Chargers game: 1TD, 3 sacks, 0 turnover, 200 yards.

    Fitz can be our MVP just as easily as he can be theirs.

    Unfortunately we can say the same thing about Manuel.

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

    Gunslingers coming off a game with 3 INT's have sore feet from shooting them point blank.

    I'm worried about Fitz ability to get out of the pocket and run. We play a ton of man defense and he's going to take advantage. 3rd and 5-6 he will look to run for it.

    Watt and Mario do not remotely play the same positions.
