Buffalo Bills at Arizona Cardinals, Oct 5, 2008 4:15 PM EDT
Buffalo Bills (4-0) at Arizona Cardinals (2-2)

Bills Inactives -WR Roscoe Parrish, CB Terrence McGee, RB Xavier Omon, FB Corey McIntyre, OT Demetrius Bell, TE Derek Fine, DE Chris Ellis
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 actions 0 recs
Yeah, tougher. Seriously… any team can win this division.

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.

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.

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.

Typical Bills start so far.
Let’s hope Losman can lead them back in the second half.

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.

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.

Against teams that play almost always conventional ball
The Cards don’t, especially since they knew McGee was going to be out

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!!

by keuka121 on Oct 5, 2008 4:51 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
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 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.

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 up reply 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.

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.
