Jags O-line played better than expected.

Although sireric will be disappointed the Bills didn’t lose so he could see my jackass Avatar, I hope this one helps lessen the blow. I call it 2 & Ooooooooooooooo!!!

I think it’s pretty smart to take a wait and see approach. All phases of the game have been humming at one point or another over the last two games. But, let’s see what happens when they’re favored, when the expectations have been raised.

OT: Congrats Brian for creating such an incredible online community here. Really enhances the game when I’m away from Buffalo and fellow Buffalo Bills fans.

Bring on the turmoil filled Raiders…..with possibly a new head coach……what a joke that franchise is………and people wonder why I root for the Bills………..Al Davis needs to die

The first 2 games of the year were supposed to be 2 of the toughest on the schedule(other than NE twice, but that has since turned questionable). The Bills dominated the first one and ground it out in the second. The next 3 games are not walks by any means, but the Rams just plain suck and the Raiders and Cards are not in the same league as the Jags and Seahawks. I guess my point is 5-0 is not unreasonable going into the bye week and it seems the Chargers and Broncos are the only other obstacles in the way of a great playoff season during the second half.

They looked awesome on that first drive today, and seemed to be saving energy during the middle quarters. The officials seemed to take a bit of steam from them as well on some really questionable calls and the momentum looked to swing to Jax. They again looked great on that last TD drive and the defense stiffened when they had to. They didn’t do anything to lose the game and Roscoe showed his dominance again at the end.

This team looks primed and ready to excell and its really great to see and a long time coming.

got to watch this one in real life, and i have to say i was real impressed with our offense. take out the penalties and we looked real good against a good jags defense. we got ran around by garrard and his scrambling. but still a great performance against a team that was very ready and enthusiastic. kudos to edwards for never panicking and running the offense. great game

how about those passes on our 1st downs? I loved it. We threw the ball very well. What a great game. This win will build confidence in our young locker room. Go Bills

was phenomenal. Look back at the QB, make an acrobatic catch way above the body, then spin around and make sure both feet land inbounds. The second foot was planted in the corner as good as any gymnast could. What an athlete!
Youbouty was super. His light bulb is fully on now!
Freddy Jackson was a game changer. We are most fortunate to have him.
On one play, Peters was almost pushed backwards onto his back. He recovered and, with bended knees, held his block and somehow stood up again while the rusher was pushing on him. That is a strong man.
After what happened in the 3rd Q, for us to come back and take big mo away from the Jags in the 4th was, in the words of Billy Fucillo, HUGE!
Never thought we’d be outplayed on special teams. However, overall a TEAM win!!

Whenever we needed a stop on a pass play, there he was. When we needed to stuff a drive, he was hitting Garrad or in the face of a receiver or running back. He was solid all day tackling when our LBs and DLine were struggling to wrap guys up, in fact our whole Defensive backfield was wrapping up good today.

Whatever made Youbuty turn the corner and become the stud we all hoped he would become, I hope it keeps pushing him. He may become our #2 CB by week 8 this year.

Offense was good, but Turk and co. got a little to conservative in the middle periods. Since we didn’t attack downfield or the sidelines enough early on it, we made it tough on ourselves when we were trying to burn the clock. The biggest thing I saw from Turk though was his willingness to gamble and to change game plans when the old one wasn’t doing enough.

Trent and Hardy, hope thats a combo we see ALOT more as the year grinds on, no one else could have made that catch as Gus and Steve pointed out, glad we drafted Hardy. Trent keep up the good work kid, your worth every cent were paying and if you keep it up, look for a fat payday soon.

What impressed me today:
- Youboty, played like a stud corner today.
- Trent, very poised, never seemed to panic, and made the clutch throw when needed.
- Freddie Jackson, ‘nuff said
- James Hardy, thats why he was drafted
What I wasn’t too happy with:
- Defense, hard to complain when they held the opponent to 13 points, but I thought they would dominate
- Tackling, Gus Johnson said it best, Fred Taylor, Garrard, and MoJo looked like they were coated in oil.
- Kick returns, it seemed like they were lucky if they got to the 20.

Big Win bring on the Raiders.

Was only able to catch the final 25 minutes or so of the game today, so I"ll base my comments on that….

Great throws by Trent on the TD drive, to Evans and Hardy. Also, good job by the OL giving him all day on some of those throws.

Great, great call by Turk on the final FG drive, the play action to Schouman. Perfect call, and a safe one too. Not sure what the bootleg play 2 plays later was though, where Trent got sacked…..

Good clutch kick by Lindell too.

I see Freddie’s stats, those are great. Were most of them just dumpoffs and screens? I saw a few screens to him and Lynch that were well designed and pretty well executed. Gotta keep getting those in there.

Not sure why everyone is so surprised with Youboty. The kid has a ton of talent and just had some unfortunate circumstances early in his career. We’re seeing his talent on display finally. I love his tackling, it’s just perfect.

Great footwork by Hardy. I still thought his toe was on the line, but I’m not complaining!!!

I saw some horrible tackling out there. We can’t continue bouncing off RB’s and the QB like that. We had Garrard for a 10+ yard sack, but he slipped by 3 guys. Ugh. Wrap up guys! Watch Ashton!

Another big punt return for Roscoe and his PR unit. Great blocking, and a huge hole, really helped us secure that win.

Run game still needs work. There just aren’t holes there consistently. This is very concerning if we have a game where Trent is struggling.

Helluva win today guys. That win could really come in handy later in the year if Jax turns it around. Winning road games, against a playoff team the prior year, in 100 degree heat, is just a helluva job all around. I couldn’t be happier with the end results today.

Running game needs to be better
Peters looked a bit rusty
Love Edwards
Love Youboty
Freddy J is consstent and dependable
Good on defense but not great

Overall the offense was good in a hostile environment and you can’t say enough about Edwards’ poise and accuracy. Its not even like its dink and dunk, although i think many might htink that; these are quick, sharp passes or check down downs that put us in a psoition to make reasonable 3rd downs
Pat Kirwan made a point to mention over the weekend on Sirius NFL radio waht the % of 3rd efficiency is and how it drops dramatically from 3rd and 1 to 3rd and , basically going for 60 to 50% and dropping 10% or more for each yard on 3rd down. We won that battle and the Bills won the game

Go Bills

For the first time in over a decade I don’t find my self staring at my Jim Kelly jersey in the closet on Monday just wishing he was still wearing the red, white, and blue. Trent for president!

toward the end of games when we were losing you just knew that they couldn’t come back except for the Kelly years, you get used to them failing at the end of the game started to get that feeling again yesterday (had to listen to game on radio at work) and missed the third quarter so when I came back it like old times especially the last few years where we couldn’t close out a game. BUT this team is differant they will find a way to win the close ones. High charecter team, not only here to cash a game check but really want to win. We never could stop a team we would get them in third and long (7+ yards) and give up a 8+ yard play more often than not same on the other side of the ball we couldn’t convert a 3rd down. I have a whole new felling about this team. GO BILLS

and the amazing thing is Edwards has started 11 games in his career. really he should only get better and that has to be scary for opposing teams. no matter what teams throw at him he remains poised and makes good decisions, aside from the sack just before Lindell’s field goal but I think that may be a matter of opinion as he kept the clock moving.
I couldn’t be more pleased with his progression through 11 games.
