Buffalo Bills vs. Dallas Cowboys: Open Game Thread

LET'S GET THIS ONE!!!

Where would you rather be than right here, right now?

19 Minutes to Kickoff!

It's just a feel.

Any special celebration rituals occuring while y'all wait?

The first six are, of course, injured.  As recently as last season, I did not understand the active roster rule.  Now, I surely do...

Let's get this done.

Kickoff is imminent.  Announcements are going...

LET'S GO, BUFFALO!

I TOLD YOU!

Let's go, guys.  We need first downs.   Two, minimally.  Better is points after a long drive.

Here comes the MVP.  Cowboys have it at their 30.

Opinions?  Rants?  Insane gibberings?  Analysis?  Let's hear it/them...

And the announcers are horrible.

what a friggin child

Tie game. 7-7.

Also - vitally - we gave the defense a BIG rest.  We're gonna live and die by this balance all year.

Kelsay deflects it, and INTERCEPTS IT IN THE ENDZONE!!!

TOUCHDOWN!!!  17-7!!!

Halftime.

Uh... any thoughts?

And this makes DJs decision to go for it at the end of the game against the Titans last year seem much more justified.

A trial run, if you will.

Play hard, play smart.

On offense, to be honest, it's about as good as you could expect.  I still maintain you either go for it there or punt it because missing the FG gives the Cowboys an additional 8 yards of field position (and a 53 yarder is obviously not an automatic), but I'll take 17-10.

J/K (sure...)

And Roscoe either got a 15-yd face mask, or he got fishhooked.  How could they miss that?

Trent's one tough SOB.

Any thoughts?

HORSE COLLAR!!!

Damn it.

This is where the toughness comes in.

They still got their rest.

Hold the line!!!

Let's finish the game!

LET'S GO, BUFFALO!!

I can't wait - genuinely - to see what our goalline stand looks like...

One 2-Point Conversion Stop Here.

Please,  One.

Think again.

I'm out, y'all.  Thanks for stopping by.  Please turn out the lights when you've finished wrecking the place...

I will take credit for telling you all that Nick Folk has ice water in his veins, and that time out on his first try was total B.S. and there needs to be a rule preventing that nonsense, but the kid proved what I said about him.

Anyhow, The Bills certainly played a GREAT game tonight. Would have been enough to beat most any other team.

Great job!! We certainly didn't deserve to win and you guys did.

The onside kick took 6 seconds!!!!!! The ref only took 2 seconds off the clock!!!!!

Cowboys should never been able to kick the field goal with 2 seconds left. It was actually -4 seconds.

Someone needs to fire your coach for not potesting right after 2 seconds were taken off the clock.

Also, you should fire #20 (I think it was) for not even trying to recover the onside kick. The cowboys guy dived on the ball and the bills guy just stood and watched. Watch the last 20 seconds of the game again. You will see what I mean on both points.

Cowboys won the game with negative :04 seconds on the clock. Am I wrong that the clock should start on the kick and not when the ball is touched?

I'm not a Bills fan but I hate it when the refs are directly responsible for a loss.

That makes the clock NEGATIVE :02 seconds when the Cowboys kicked it.

Either way, you guys got robbed!
