I'm not even a bills fan, but I don't get all the bills hate. I have a feeling they go 9-7, if they can steal a game they shouldn't win, they make the playoffs.

The next few weeks (after the Miami game) will be very telling of what kind of team this is.

They dug themselves a hole after the first 2 weeks and have done a great job of getting out of it.

They are right in the middle of it. They need to have a few real statement wins against good teams. Beat the Patriots or Seahawks and they have to beat the Bengals. Then they are 7-3 assuming they take care of the dolphins.

Correct, But we are 3-2. The team should have destroyed the Ravens but the offense was anemic.

We can't put up 16 points against the patriots again and expect to win.

We completely controlled the clock in that game. Didn't need more points.

Bills lose, everyone sucks.

Bills win, everyone except Shady sucks.

I (frank)ing love Bills fans.

- TheSabresTaco



Shady is on another planet right now.

The Bills dodged a bullet with his knee yesterday. I don't like that dump off pass to a RB like that. He needs to be moving when catching a ball not turning around like that.

No need to play him if he isn't ready.

The front 7 of the bills are really clicking. I don't want to break that up.

The crap part about the modern NFL is, even though the Bills are having a nice season, since we are in a division with perennial powerhouse New England, we are relegated to being just one of 12 teams fighting for 2 playoff spots. The 8 division system is SO DUMB.

I dare you guys to say one positive thing about the Bills that has nothing to do with Shady.

Not on the one where he got hurt.

It was a 5 yard turn around catch the ball type of route. Hit him right in the numbers.

There were a few that he did get away with though.

The defensive front is full of monsters, and Dareus isn't even playing yet.

The run defense is phenomenal. They have the NFL leader in sacks and a LB 2nd in tackles...

I agree. However IF and its a big IF the Bills beat Miami next week they have a chance to take the division lead over with their matchup against the Patriots...AT HOME...

Ragland is going to have to earn his spot next year.

Lawson is going to have to earn playing time this season when he comes back.

That is a great problem to have.

Draft one or 2 DB's next season and spend the rest of the draft of the offensive side of the ball...mainly WR's...

Yes, Teams do this all the time "We dont need to score points" "Guys we dont need to score points"

Was that the same "Strategy in the Ravens game"

That's what sucks. Our season comes down to a week 8 matchup. You know what's going to happen. We'll go 10-6, 11-5 and miss the playoffs, THEN the league changes the format to prevent that from happening, THEN we return to 7-9.

The Patriot game was a weird one, he wasn't good by any stretch but he wasn't terrible, they had him throw a lot which was very weird. It was also the game where he completed the highest percentages of his throws.

Again the Bills are the 3rd highest scoring team in the league...

- Stripes77

I actually thought he was solid against NE. Made quick decisive throws.

That's his biggest issue IMO. He's a second late on most throws.

before the 2nd McCoy TD yesterday, he had Clay wide, wide, wide open for a TD and just waited
