    Did you see that hit Jackson took from a teammate? I know there's been some bad hits/injuries over the years but that one made me wince. How the hell that didn't snap his neck is beyond me, it was apparent when he was writhing on the ground he wasn't paralyzed, but my goodness to be able to check out of the hospital the next day.

    I see how it is now. Growing up in NY Tony did you learn to count 0 & 1, 0 & 2, 0 & 3, 0 & 4?

    This year only matters… if the Bills win the Super Bowl this year, we will have bragging rights until next season starts… but I understand your position, you have to cling to the past… it’s all good :lmao:

    When you do not have a history of greatness you tend to dismiss history and what the original NFL franchises did so expansion was feasible.

    Do the Bills have an official team historian? The Packers do and he just released a 4 volume set, as an owner I had early l access. It is an amazing history lesson/story.

    Big game tonight, AFC North division games are aleay physical. Don't need any key players hurt.

    With all the critiquing going on about Trubisky and Canada on who's at fault fir the dismal looking offenae I have to thinkbthey change it up big tonight. Part of me wants to say Trubisky is going to have a big night. Not that I think he is good, but because he is so close to being benched by the fans that he pulls one off and remains the starter. The realist in me says they'll look just like they have the first 2 games just with a few more deep ball misses mixed in. Trubisky hasn't been very accurate with them, overthrowing mostly. I see them starting their first drive in a hurry up mode.

    Amazon Prime sucks anymore, glad I don't have to pay for it to watch the game.

    Same old crap with a couple more deep balls.

    Heck of a catch from Pickens.

    It was, and on that note I'm ready to test Pickett and see what he has.

    I remember when Ben went out for elbow surgery and they played musical chairs with Rudolph and Hodges. Can't do that again. Put Pickett in and see what he has.

    If he is what a lot of people think he is, great, maybe they can salvage the season. Then they can address the O-line.

    If he doesn't fit the hype, great, now they know they still need a franchise QB. Shop Pickens for a first round pick, he's not going to remain happy in an offense that can't do anything. Get something for him while he is hot.

    The defense is a whole 'nother issue and I have no idea why that group cannot get it together. Highest paid defense in the NFL and they get manhandled often. Sure Watt is not out there, but that is when they should be stepping up most. Have a feeling Heyward is going to retire at seasons end.

    Ready for picket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also

    I think heyward will retire also.

    we need a Def line that is willing and able to take on the double team and keep both O-Linemen so a good LB can get the ball carrier and make the tackle.

    the 3 or 4 D Line is not doing that as a group. its not all of them at the same time but it seems that one of them is being handled by the 1 O-Line and then the LB is not able to get away from the Oline to make the tackle. then our safeties have make the tackle.

    the most exps Def is for the 2 players (TJ & Mika) heyward's is up there too i think others are on average .

    Our Oline is coming, they have improved , not fast enough for me.

    when ben went down is why Mason is still around INS Card.
