This is a day all about momentum, Bills fans.  The Buffalo Bills, as I'm sure you're well aware, have opened up their 2008 regular season schedule with four straight wins - something they haven't done since 1992.  Following today's game, the Bills will take their bye week.  That means that a loss in today's game would, for two weeks, kill most - if not all - of the momentum that the team has built up through the first quarter of the season.

Momentum is, in reality, the most influential force on wins and losses in the NFL.  The Bills have momentum, to be sure, but their test today is far from easy, as they take on the high-scoring Arizona Cardinals at University of Phoenix Stadium, where the Cards always play tough football.  A loss wouldn't be the end of the world for Buffalo, clearly - but it would spell the end of their momentum.

Preserve momentum.  That's what the Bills need to do today, and the only way that's accomplished is by winning their third consecutive road game against a very tough opponent.  It's not going to be easy, but it can certainly be done.  This is Buffalo's stiffest test to date, and I can't wait to see how they'll respond.  Join me in today's Open Thread as we cheer the Bills on and hope that they can preserve their momentum.  GO BILLS!

Go Bills!

A win sure would be nice here. The Phins are whopping the Chargers, so the Bills need to keep a healthy lead in the division. The division is much tougher than people think.

by RabidBuffalo on Oct 5, 2008 3:22 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah, tougher. Seriously… any team can win this division.

Share the blame

You know, WIVB could have gotten a lot of support if they had streamed the game on their website instead of whining about how evil TimeWarner is. They didn’t bother. TimeWarner could have gotten a lot of support if they had run the feed from Phoenix’s CBS affiliate. They didn’t bother.

The hell with both of them.

Thing to watch, check to see how the O responds to having JP back there

On the ensuing drive, will they play tough or wuss out now that Trent is done?
The D was playing kinda listlessly, I got a bad feeling the team is freaking out now that Trent’s steadying hand is out.

Thats one of the most underrated things about Trent is how the team didn't panic when he was running the O.

JP can be to excitable, this could either be a good or bad thing depending on which JP shows up. The tough gunslinger, or the can’t read the D deer in the headlights Losman.

Only one good thing with Trent being down this week

Our Bye is next week, meaning if he needs a couple of weeks to get back on the field, he will get it.

Not saying I’m happy is hurt, by no stretch of the imagination, in fact I feel sick to my stomach, but at least it isn’t the week before the playoffs.

Refs are trying to throw flags on teh Bills

This is going to be a long game. When a ref throws a flag for Whittle being ineligible 4 seconds after it is loudly announced that he’s eligible you just know Buffalo is going to get screwed by the refs.

I think the NFL is still mad about Wilson voting against the CBA and then having him proven right

I think they dislike the idea of the Bills at 5-0, thankfully they can’t send Dick Bavetta like the NBA does when they need a team to lose.

We gotta go Nickel full time

We need to flood the field with our DBs and make Edge beat us
Fewell obviously doesn’t agree

Just saw the replay on Fox

how in the HELL!!!!!! was the hit on Trent not a penalty. He clearly lead with the helmet and rode the QB to the ground.

Serious action must be taken on that.

where did it go?

Bills make me wanna SHOUT!

It’s there, but we’re playing the Cardinals. You may have heard that they’re kind of good throwing the ball. This isn’t a surprise.

This has long game written all over it

They haven’t come close to disrupting Warner or the WRs.

by Ron From NM on Oct 5, 2008 4:48 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Fewell is sticking with the 4-3 even though the Cards are running with 3 Wrs full time

They know an idiot D coordinator when they see it.

Warner is going to pick this D apart all day with no pressure and his WR’s able to sit down in the zones

Come on, man. Fewell runs the #7 defense in the league.

by Brian Galliford on Oct 5, 2008 4:50 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Against teams that play almost always conventional ball

The Cards don’t, especially since they knew McGee was going to be out

Fewell is still running the 4-3

Our LBs cannot keep up with their WRs

The only thing “devastating” would be Edwards’ injury, depending on its seriousness. A loss isn’t a season-ender by any stretch of the imagination.

We need more DBs on the field to do that

I think Fewell is trying to protect Corner, screw it run three CBs out there and challenge them Fewell

They're not able to run the ball

Now we have to tighten up the pass D and we should be ok. Tighter coverage please!!

Our D

is getting schooled right now. Clearly, we have a ways to go yet.

The team is still young. This season will give the front office much to think about and realize where we need to improve. It’s painfully obvisous that the O-line and DE’s need to be addressed as well as another OLB.

I am not giving up on the Bills already in this game or the season, but let’s be realistic. We have some players who don’t have a year of experience yet, this year will be a great learning experience. We will have cap space and draft picks to improve.

by RabidBuffalo on Oct 5, 2008 4:52 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Agreed, I will be no more upset if we lose today than if we lost a week after the bye

We were never going to go 16-0 but I would like to see more life from my team when losing, this team is looking listless after Trent went down.

it’s not THAT they lose, but HOW they lose that shows this team is really about.

Not so much when your starting QB has a concussion and you get blown out by an average Arizona squad.

If the last few weeks have taught me anything, it is not to worry.

But I think after another couple failed drives and another couple Arizona scores, that optimism might start to turn to pessimism.

by NJBillsfan on Oct 5, 2008 4:55 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well, it’s hard not to worry. The reason for our optimism rested in the arm of Trent Edwards. Let’s hope JP can do the same.

Edwards has a concussion

If the Bills put him back in whon’t the league be pissed?

He should NOT go back in.

by big john on Oct 5, 2008 4:56 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Only way the Bills are gonna get going in this game is for the o-line to stop blocking. Thus far this season, it hasn’t happened but I think they can do it. Strong special teams and turnovers would help too.

I think I saw 9 dudes on the line of scrimmage

He won’t. Maybe a small fine, but of all the hits I’ve seen, that’s one of the cleanest.
