Go Bills! D, tighten upm stop the quick pass
O, keep chucking it and running it like the 2nd quarter
STs, we need a couple of big plays boys!

Fun? Critiquing is fun? I personally love praising. It’s probably EASIER to critique, though…

We love to commiserate when we lose, but love to celebrate in a lonely manner while winning
Makes it more personal
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Defense is still going to be tired
And it will only get worse as the game goes along. Good thing it’s not 100 degrees tehre…
The Battleship Lorenzen?
I think the Colts cut him

still too much time in the pocket tho....
but nice to see a three and out
Bills make me wanna SHOUT!
I'm telling ya
I am starting the “Get Julius Peppers” club. All money raised will help bring him here.
It happens after a 3rd down, which we seem unable to make occurr
Perhaps there was a convergence in the stars right then?
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
no i knew him back in high school
he went to high school in savannah, ga where i have lived for awhile
Bills make me wanna SHOUT!

Nice work Freddy, okay JP "Terror Beard" Losman, move us down the field
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Did he spend the offseason in Afghanistan? I wonder.... :-P
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Have you seen his chin growth recently without the helmet on?

Dude looks like he is playing for the Taliban/Al-Qaeda all stars

JP’s beard looks like a terrorist’s, apparently.

And that was NOT a happy excited comment, that was the Holy Crap he got killed comment
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
I know he has a beard, why is it a terror beard? It is a racist comment. stop it please, its offensive.
Ah, I see where you’re going with it. No offense meant, I assure you…

Very well, he is now rehristened JP "Capt. Caveman" Losman
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Whoa, Lynch is taking a pounding right now
We better air it out some more to keep their Dline and Lbs off him
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
He doesn't stand a chance
when there are defenders untouched getting after him…..I’m surprised he’s getting up after these hits. What a tough dude
~K
He won't be soon if he keeps taking the kills shots he has been
Glad we got 3 though, now D needs to step up to plate again
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
It was actually a draw play, and I didn’t hear anyone complaining about that call when Marshawn Lynch scored on it twice in wins over Seattle and Jacksonville.
by Brian Galliford on Oct 5, 2008 6:01 PM EDT up reply actions
Those teams were respecting the pass Brian
Az’s D was primed for that play, we need to audible out of it.
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
i was wondering the same thing
do they trust jp enough to lead this offense, or just enough to “manage the game”
Bills make me wanna SHOUT!

Yes PLEASE!
Pepto can’t hold off my incipient Ulcer at this rate over a full 16 game schedule
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
I sincerely hope we win this week
That means another week of no washing my Moorman jersey which I wore to the Home opening win, and haven’t washed and won’t wash till we lose.
Btw, the WIFE hates that, and in some ways, I enjoy making her uncomfortable with that.
Go Bills, get the WIN!

Never played football with a win streak eh?

Nice pass D there, now a rush please
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Well
I wasn’t anticipating the refs giving him an extra yard
by SebastianPruiti on Oct 5, 2008 6:09 PM EDT up reply actions
Better D on the screen pass there unlike last time
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Wow did our De lose contain there
Crashed down to hard
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Wow, are we missing McGee or what today?
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Btw, can anyone else tell me, but it looks like we are playing with 2 CBs and 3 Safeties most times we got 5 DBs?
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
We can't stop the run or the pass
We have to commit to stopping the pass. More Blitzes, make them beat us with the run
Whoa, did I just see Stroud get blown up there on that run?
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Thank heavens he fell on the RB
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Wow, Brian, can I call that a stupid/idiotic/moronic/dumb move by Jenkins?
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Pick another game to wish to watch
Honestly
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
nice
awesome, and other sarcastic words that do not describe that dumb move

No, he is a very solid STer for us, and he had one bad play
Sit him for a series, but he is too good to just cut esepcially with the ST guys we let go this year.
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
To be honest, with the way this team has played today, we should be happy to be within 2 scores
Our D is tiring out, and the O MUST have a long drive to get them some rest for the Cards next possession.
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Agreed
Got pressure on Warner, not bad coverage on Fitzgerald and still gave up the TD.
Just a microcosm
of our day. Small things are eating us up.
It’s a young team that still needs to learn how to take care of that kind of stuff.
Agreed, and I think the final score will be closer than 14 points
We can learn from this, and hopefully Trent and McGee come back healthy after the bye.
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
OK
Time for a little forced optimism. We are going to be 4-1 at the bye, our hurt players are going to be healthy, and this is something Juruon can use to remind the players to work hard…
That was one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen an NFL player do, even if Royal does end up being down. Just hang on to the damn ball.
I think
he was in pain and that was just a reaction to his knees getting snapped back…
by SebastianPruiti on Oct 5, 2008 6:22 PM EDT up reply actions
OK, NOW it’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen an NFL player do.
by Brian Galliford on Oct 5, 2008 6:22 PM EDT up reply actions
Don’t think his knee was down. And forward progress only counts if the whistle blows. Royal always hangs the ball out like that. He doesn’t need to handle the ball if he can’t stop the carelessness.
I already pointed it out, what can we give to get him?
Chiefs season is done after todays loss
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Please live in reality, folks. This isn’t happening.
by Brian Galliford on Oct 5, 2008 6:25 PM EDT up reply actions
Again, why?
KC is done. You don’t think they would trade him for a pick. They need picks to rebuild that team.
I think they would trade him for what they deemed was fair value, which would be far more than most NFL teams would be willing to offer.
by Brian Galliford on Oct 5, 2008 6:29 PM EDT up reply actions
The Chiefs very likely don’t agree with that at all.
by Brian Galliford on Oct 5, 2008 6:30 PM EDT up reply actions
He has accomplished all he can in KC, and still wants a Championship
We can at least offer him a shot at it, the Chiefs can’t
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
I am Brian, Tony now has the TE receiving record
Chiefs suck, and will want more Picks, make them a godfather offer and see what happens.
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
DJ needs to challenge if for no other reason than to give our team a break
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Bad, team looks completely out of synch
And D is tired and geting shredded. Nice hit by Mitchell just now though
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
haha
yea turnover help with that stat
Bills make me wanna SHOUT!
by silverstreak3k on Oct 5, 2008 6:25 PM EDT up reply actions
Thats because we are either turning it over or have scored
Then again, only having the ball fewer than 10 times will do that.
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Well, I know why. I just thought it was humorously ironic. Apparently not.
by Brian Galliford on Oct 5, 2008 6:26 PM EDT up reply actions
And I must say it was nice work, but dang it, I just wanted to get that out there.
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Pathetic defensive effort today
Wilson looked like a complete idiot holding his hand up in a fist because it’s 4th down. He’s evidently not bright enough to realize that the upcoming field goal puts Buffalo down by 17 to start the 4th.
Also, WTF is up with Jauron not throwing the challenge flag??? You have to challenge that even if it’s not particularly close…which it was.
They’re gassed dude. They’ve been on the field for like double the time of the offense.
by BearsNecessity on Oct 5, 2008 6:27 PM EDT up reply actions
Yes, because they've played a horrible defensive game
Missed tackles, blown assignments, general stupidity….it’s not like the offense just left them hanging.
The running game hasn't killed Buffalo
The passing game has. Stroud’s not known for his pass pressure.
I am aggrevied over the non challenge flag
If we lose it, it at least lets the D regroup before going out on the field.
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
But then
we lose a TO and we need all of those to comeback…
by SebastianPruiti on Oct 5, 2008 6:28 PM EDT up reply actions
Thanks Butler, that helped us out
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
99% of Qbs lose that ball when hit like that pal
Our luck has just been cruddy today
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
But...
they get rid of the ball before they get hit…he held onto it way too long
by SebastianPruiti on Oct 5, 2008 6:34 PM EDT up reply actions
I honestly believe there must be someone on the waiver wire that could make better decisions than Losman
Wow, thats the day in its entirety right there with the fumble
Put the scrubs in, lets see what Corner can do
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
And...
that’s Losman’s career right there…he shows brilliance at times, but more often than not holds onto the ball waaaaaay too long
None, left in the 1st Quarter and not on the field now
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Oh, relax. It’s one of many errors on the day. As it looks now, this is a TEAM loss, and Losman was one of the bright spots.
by Brian Galliford on Oct 5, 2008 6:36 PM EDT up reply actions
Oh I know
He played great, but people thinking it wasn’t his fault annoyed me, lol
by SebastianPruiti on Oct 5, 2008 6:38 PM EDT up reply actions
The fact he is not at the hospital right now is a good sign
I think they let him sit out the whole bye week and then check him again the week of the San Diego game.
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
OKay, so we are 4-1 going into the bye, better than I ever could have hoped for at the start of the Season
We will hopefully get McGee and Trent back over the Bye week, and we can assess where changes need to be made
We are NOT in bad shape people, like I noted earlier, put the scubs in and lets see what we got there.
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Wow, losing Trent has forced my Fantasy team into a tie, this sucks on a lot of levels.
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
So here
is what I think Losman’s problem is…overconfidence in his arm. He waits and waits on deep routes knowing he can gun it, and he usually gets hit on those…
I hope you guys remember the Colts comeback win today.
I’m not saying the Bills will pull it off, but the Colts did. A good team finds a way to win. And even if the Bills lose, it isn’t the end of the world.
No, Houston found a way to lose that game.
by Brian Galliford on Oct 5, 2008 6:40 PM EDT up reply actions
Logic. Lightning doesn’t strike twice. It’s Buffalo. Other cliches.
by Brian Galliford on Oct 5, 2008 6:41 PM EDT up reply actions
Correct, Sage just cost them the game in the last 4 minutes
I don’t think the Colts win it otherwise, watch the replays
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Thats because of the Jets game
So, therefore by that thinking, we need to run it up on the Jets, fine by me.
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Lot of time left… they’re just playing ball.

Okay, we got 10 minutes to go
Lets see what our young guys can do, and hey, just chuck the ball around some.
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
We'll be 4-1, livable gang, oh and at the top of the AFC East still
lets just make the score close O.
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Hoping they throw to him some more
Lets get him some more touches, find out what we got in him
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Well Leodis got his "Hello!" to the NFL moment
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Wow, who to blame for the sack there?
Peters for a poor block or JP for backing right up into it?
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
it was a screen pass, so Peters did nothing wrong.
by Brian Galliford on Oct 5, 2008 6:45 PM EDT up reply actions
Agreed now, just saw that replay a little bit ago
Couldn’t tell intially
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
It was a screen, was supposed to be let go...
he needs to get rid of it
by SebastianPruiti on Oct 5, 2008 6:45 PM EDT up reply actions
I vote for running clock the rest of the game Refs
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Ugh
I had to go away for a second and flipped to NFL.com and saw the Bills on the 8. I was like “sweet”, but then realized it was OUR 8. Grrrrr.
Alrighty then, come on D, get a stop, for pride if nothing else!
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
You’re still on about that? It was a joke, and we can only apologize so many times.

You may just want to claim that the DVR didn't record it
And instead you got stuck with Failure to Launch

AZ really needs to put Leinert out there
Kelsay looks ready to start taking cheap shots on Warner
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Same old Bills
this game looks oddly reminicent of the Bills in ’06 and ’07 and I mean more than just Losman. Sad display today!
Being a Bills fan in MA, My new favorite saying is "18-1"!!!
Yes, it wasn’t good, but don’t just assume we’re going to slip back into ’06 and ’07 Bills football. The key is responding, and we have a bye week to help us do it.
by Brian Galliford on Oct 5, 2008 6:56 PM EDT up reply actions
I agree
But this game in particular seems like the old Bills. Penalties, turnovers, defense giving up chunk yardage. This season they have been great. I don’t know if many would agree with me but this game they seemed out coached, which is uncommon for Mr. Jauron
Being a Bills fan in MA, My new favorite saying is "18-1"!!!
It will be interesting to see
how the Western NY papers respond to this. They have been really positive so far this year but they have had a reason. Now they get schooled and injuries show up. Columnists will start throwing guys under the bus and say wait for next year or stay positive and call this a learning experience.
4-1 is still better 0-4
We are in good shape, injuries are worriesome, but we have a bye, take a deep breath and let it all go folks, we were DUE for a bad game, glad we got it out of the way OUT of our division!
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Couldn't say it better...
Did any of us expect the Bills to go 19-0???? Course not!!!! Unless you live in a fantasy world….
Our improvement over last year has been amazing, and will continue to be so, but don’t even expect us to win every game!!!! This is the NFL, after all,…. Heck, look at 2 of the “worst” teams in the league, the Chiefs and phish… Even they can embarrass at times….
Relax….
Breath…..
Have a brew…
Our Bills are on the right track….
Cinga out….
Losman
In this one game Losman has one less turnover then Edwards all season. I sincerely hope Trent is OK.
Being a Bills fan in MA, My new favorite saying is "18-1"!!!
He has two weeks to rest up
He should be back out there, that wasn’t a Trent Green season ender hit he took
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Well, despite losing Trent I can still win my fantasy game if Scobee can at least make an XP
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
We aren't going to go 16-0
I think this is good for Buffalo (minus all the injuries). It puts us back in perspective. We haven’t even played a divisional game yet. Even the 06’ and 07’ Bills finished the season better than they started them. We will be alright
49ers are within 10
Just forced a Pats FG, almost 4:30 left to go
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Bengals are keeping the 'Boys close
Could be a good finish to that game.
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
But maybe not a recent occurrence? :-P
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Pats DBs are dropping like flies in San Fran
Hope they can punch it in, 3:30 left
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Well scratch that comeback off the books
O’Sullivan just got buried and put them to far out for a reasonable play
Oh well, was hoping they would win and force the Pats to 2-2
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
San Diego really worries me if we have JP in at QB.
The AFC East is already down 2 QBs. With Pennington in Miami and the spectre of the Madden curse on Favre, we could easily become the worst quarterbacked division.
Yea really
seeing how horribly losman played when it mattered most today pissed me off. Its great that he can underthrow a 87 yard bomb in the first quarter but u cant have two turnovers in ur own territory. Disgusting.
Well gang, we had a tough one, but we got a week off
Everyone take a break, take a deep breath, and lets all rest up for the San Diego game.
Fear the mighty helmet wearing gopher, he is coming for your soul....
Lets hope
That they figure some stuff out. Both the offensive and defensive lines looked disgusting to me today. Secondary was exposed. Alot of things were exposed. The run blocking is really eating at me though. I dunno if we’ll see marshawn rush for 100 yards all year if its gonna be like that.
