The Real Games begin for the Bills and the Jets today. Both teams (and their fans) are jacked up with high expectations. The Bills signed Mario Williams and now have a legitimate pass rush–something missing for the past ten seasons. The Jets signed Tim Tebow. ‘Nuff said. For either team to make the playoffs, one team will have to dominate the other in their two meetings. Fourteen of the 16 opponents on the Bills and Jets 2012 schedule are the same. The differences: the Jets play the Steelers and San Diego. The Bills play Cleveland and Kansas City. Other than those two team variables, the Jets and the Bills have identical schedules. I know it sounds pretentious, but the result of today’s game may decide the Fate of both of these teams this season. Hope your favorite team wins today!
How much dough did you bet on the Bills?
Zero, Bill! After the Bills’ dismal preseason (0-4), I’m not drinking the Kool-Aid.
The Jets are one of my longest followed teams, exceeded only by the ‘Skins. I think they are headed for that swoon that follows up on a period of teasing us fans. They’ve been doing it since their sole appearance in Super Bowl III.
They jumped the shark getting Tebow. Oh, he’s a fine young man and a good player, just not an NFL quarterback.
I’m expecting Tebow to run the Wildcat when the Jets get into the Red Zone, Randy. He can be dangerous as a runner.
The Jets have looked awful in the preseason. Like Randy I’m expecting another sh!tty season.
Good luck to the Bills.
The Giants have the killer schedule that goes with winning the Super Bowl – Packers, Saints, Falcons, Ravens, 49ers, Steelers, Bengals. And they got off to a horrendous start on Wednesday.
When the Giants couldn’t score a TD from the 3-yard line Wednesday night, I knew they would lose the game, Jeff.
The big game for me is tonight against Pittsburgh. We’ll see if Manning’s body can still take a pounding. And we’ll see if Denver’s linebackers have settled down.
The trading of my boy Tim has turned me into something I thought I’d never be–a guy who roots for the Jets.
Tonight’s Steelers vs. Broncos game will garner boffo ratings, Drongo. Everyone wants to see if Peyton Manning is still Peyton Manning.
Geaux Saints!
RG3 is the Real Deal, Deb. Watch out, Saints fans!
Yikes! The Saints are getting their butts handed to them. Hopefully they can come back in the second half.
The Saints can score a ton of points quickly, Deb. The Bills don’t have that capacity.
So, we go out for lunch & I come home, turn on the game and…41-7! How the heck did that happen?
The Bills thought this Jet game was a preseason game, Jeff. Plus, they didn’t bring the Right Drugs with them on this road trip.
Never mind, I read the recap. Punt return for a touchdown, fumble, interception return for a touchdown.
I’m watching the Seattle-Arizona game, and it’s been a barn burner. Come on, Seahwaks!!
Yay, Lions!
The Lions and the Bills are heading in opposite directions, Patti. The Lions are playoff-bound, and the Bills continue their mediocre ways.
Broncos won. We can all rest easier.
The Broncos are playoff-bound, too, Drongo. Keep Payton healthy!
Jets looked good! Course they were playing the Bills. 😉 Chiefs looked just like I thought they would and will look most of the year.
Very happy the Cowboys won their opener.
The Chiefs stop in Buffalo this Sunday to take on the hapless Bills, Carl. Look for your team to resemble Super Bowl teams of the past!
