.80 ball for each

I don’t care about the draft positions lost or the meaninglessness of the win or any of that garbage; this might be the last game the Bills win for a while, so let’s savor it.

As I keep writing in the Who to Root For posts, I can’t root against these guys.

I think you meant 5 game balls and Trent’s two-game, not two-day, layoff. :-)

I do think this is a very well-written piece for being so soon after the game Brian. Good job as always.

CBS thanks you, and most of all Ed Hochuli thanks you too! The Bills just gave Denver the backhand of karma that allowed the AFC rematch to happen. Im sure many of you could care less but Chargers fans everywhere thank the Bills for giving us a chance to decide our season ourselves, and not by a blown call.

Eve n though Cutler had the big day. They are better man-to-man and I like their quickness and ability to tackle. I also think we picked up gems in both Corner and McKelvin, who if he breaks the kicker’s tackle, and if Stroud doesn’t hold, would have been the MVP. I like McKelvin more every game.

Its weird, I am still not sold on Jauron, and i don’t know what’s gonna happen, but a good game in the cold for Edwards should make us all feel better. Not to mention, he’s a tough SOB out there, taking hits and coming back for more. But we need a center and…and…well, if we beat the Pats, this is a winning season in my book. Go Bills!

Fewell had me working on press coverage with the CBs all week :-)

Seriously, sorry I missed a good game. From the highlights it looked like the Broncos had two shots at the end of the game. Looked like the first was a bad pass and the second the WR dropped the ball. I will take the win though. Maybe the lower draft pick will help people not scream so much about value when we take Mack :-) Why didn’t Peters play?

Congrats norcalianglesfan!!!!!

Not entirely related but does anyone else think the AFC West is a complete joke this season? The thought of a potential 8-8 team making the playoffs is mind-numbing.

Ugh, now I’m rethinking some of the stupid losses this year: Browns, SF, NYJ2…what might have been. With those three as wins, it would be Week 17 against the Pats for the division.

Great to see both Corner and Johnson having good games.

Your team came in and deserved the win….Best of luck in the off-season.

Way to go Bills! I love the W and I love that we helped set up an AFC West division show-down. Maybe I’ll go see that game.

The AFC East title could go to the fourth-level tie breaker. If Miami and NE both win, Miami gets the title based on the better conference W-L percentage. (Miami also clinches with a W and a NE loss, as the sole team 11-5 record.)

If the Bills and NY win, the Jets get the title based on the better division record. If NY and NE both win, the Pats get the title. Of course, I’m hoping the Bills get to .500. I’d much rather see NY in the playoffs than Miami, so I’ll be routing for the Jets.

so happy to see a win. Feels unreal. I remember why I love football and this team. Thank you Trent Edwards for answering some questions for one week.

And the fact that this game has meaning in that it affected the AFC West playoff race means a lot. Now, let’s go knock the Patriots out of the playoffs and really shake up the NFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

anyone see the two missed facemask penalties on Trent Edwards and on Fred Jackson on the same drive in the 2nd half? Pissed me off. You mentioned the bs Stroud Hold. Also, did anyone see on a kickoff in the 2nd half, a total cheap shot late hit on a Bills player that the head ref was right there and didn’t throw the flag?

IF the Bills would have lost I would be vehemently screamn at the refs for screwing us. Thankfully our Bills defense stood tall when it mattered most. Congrats. And no one is happier to win a football game then Dick Jauron…he needed to take the heat off for one week.

Now, go prepare as hard as you can for the Patriots and let’s give em hell next week.

When Edwards and Josh Reed both play a complete game, the Bills are 7-0.

Without Edwards, the Bills are 0-4 — and without Reed, the Bills are 0-4 as well.

a great juicy little nugget

my apologies….i had wings for dinner

And I hope our coaches take notice of how well we did when we played man. Even with Reggie Corner! I could hardy believe my eyes.

and thanks for a great week of cross blogging. I don’t know if you accept game balls from the ‘enemy’ but I have two if you want em:

1: Fred Jackson. I wish I had known about him before the game…. I think Brian forgot to tell us about that one… ;)

2: Josh Reed. Just wow. I know the stats aren’t mind boggling, but every catch he made was clutch. I love Brandon Marshall, but he might have learned something from Reed today.

Good luck in the future guys, both for the Bills and for your community. Buffalo “Karma Police” Bills are well represented here.

That second half really made a game out of it. You guys made plays when you had to and that is why you won the game. Good luck to you and I would love to see you play spoilers to the Pats next week.

Like styg I also enjoy the cross blogging because it gives be a chance to learn something about teams I don’t follow.

Good to see Trent play in cold weather well, and that he was more than willing to bounce back from big hits.

This is a big win, and if we get the W against the Pats next week, this season is a somewhat win for me. We should have a better record, and we played the first 6 weeks like a real team, to bad we waited to week 16 to do so again. But, I’ll take it.

We have issues to discuss at another time, let us all drink deeply of this win and enjoy it as we should.

Small victory but nice to see nonetheless. I guess that means that the AFC West is really weak!

I believe that we are able to hand NE a big loss next week. There is no other team in our division that I hate more than them and I would love to go out on a bang and knock them out of the playoffs – and I know that we can. I sure hope that Jauron/Fewel remember how the NYJ played them because it’s the best way to close them down. Play Moss Hi/Lo and get in his face right off the line, be physical with him the whole game, don’t let him get into a rhythm. I would play Whitner in his face then McGee back deeper. Then get Leo to shadow Welker. Greer/Corner can handle Gaffney or Aiken. The Jets played their slowest but most physical CB on Moss on the line the whole game (Law) and it worked big time. They put their young stud CB (Revis) on Welker. They held both Welker & Moss to almost nothing the whole first half but then the Jets got greedy in the second half and made some adjustments to stop Gaffney a bit better and that’s where they went wrong. Even on the final play they decided to give Moss a 8y cushion and he burnt them. The only way to play this team is to take those two players out of the game and force a rookie QB to beat you with his 3rd string wideouts. If we play zone and our LB get’s matched up with Welker, we are toast!

I will be there next week Loud & Proud and I hope that the 12th man will be a dominant player in the game!
