It's time to judge the entire season on 3 quarters of play

Guys, you must be as disappointed as I am right now. We should be rolling the Bills. This entire season is a failure. Sparano sucks. Henne sucks. Ronnie and Ricky suck. The defense sucks. Everything sucks. Time to clean house. Get rid of everybody. Build some robot football players who never make mistakes and then we'll get to the Superbowl.

Oh wait...you're telling me this game isn't even over? That it's the first game of the season and there are 15 more to be played?

Guess I'll shut the hell up and let the season play out then.

The bills are at home and playing their hearts out. Tren edwards stinks. I give you that. He always stunk. And whos that other bust QB on the sideline giving him pointers. WTH. That other qb backup on the sidelines must really stink.

I feel like you do futt, i thought this team stunk in the preseason and we have taken a rather large step back. What i am holding on to is that teams usually dont look so sharp the first game so I will wait until week 2 when we play... OH SH!T i just looked at the schedule is that @ minnasota we have next??? Yeah that is the real test.

Well you have it mostly right, We do suck,. we should be rolling the bills, Henne is not the answer at QB he is slow on his reaction and reading of the defense and to make matters worse , when he has guys open is misses the throw.

I actually think the team is playing reasonably well. This team has started poorly the last two seasons under Sparano, so I think this is a huge improvement.

The defense played great. Gave up a few plays, but by in large played very well. Much bettter than it looked like they would play from what we saw during the preseason. I was very impressed, our defense looked like it actually improved from last years (which was the goal). We got A LOT of pressure on the QB today. The two rooks played very nicely. Both made a few big plays.

Clemons' play was a HUGE surprise. He played very well all game.

The offense stinks. Marshall did his job, only dropped one, but Henne underthrew it. Henne was locking onto receivers and his legs looked terrible out there. Fell over twice. Didn't backpedal with urgency after snapping the ball or step up solidly into throws. I'm nervous about our offense. Oh, and the O-line played very average.

Finallly, Wake will have 15 or 16 sacks this season if he stays healthy. He is a beast plain and simple.

We ran it down their throats and henne had all day to pass the rock. The Oline played better than i thought they would.

More like Henne played average. All day to throw and marshall was open numerous times and he clearly miss fired the throws.

He'll be alright henne can only get better as the season progresses. He was just a little rusty on the first game of the season.

I agree, Henne was the same way last year and with the entire preseason as number 1 I expected better , which is why I dont think he will be the answer, Hope I am wrong

First game, first game. If there is an alternative, it is Thigpen, not Pennington. Why do you think we haven't been able to move him?

Well guys, all we managed to do today was win a game in a totally unacceptable manner.

This is the Bills we're talking about. We should have beat them 753.8 points to -35. It was pathetic. Chad Henne shouldn't have missed a single pass. Nobody should have made any mistakes. They all should have played perfectly.

If we don't win by 4842345 points next week I will denounce myself as a Dolphins fan.

(This is more sarcasm, by the way.)

I really want to know what will make some of you happy.

Seriously. If this is how some of you act when we win then for F*ck's sake I'm not coming anywhere near here if we lose.

Oh yeah Great defense today, however I am a little worried, because last year Denver's defense after about week 6 really didnt do that great. Maybe do to lack of plays?

I hope that isnt the case with this year, but hey solid job fellas Wake is a monster!!

The thing that worries me is how hard our guys were gang tackling!! Now, before you start in on me, here is the logic: When a defensive player hits a player one on one, it is basically more damage to the guy with the ball. When 4 guys on defense hit the guy on offense, the majority of the damage is done to each other, because there just isn't enough of the other guy to go around to absord the hits. Many times, the players on defense end up just hitting each other. Over time, this is going to wear our guys down. It is awesome to watch, loved every minute of it, but in the end, I don't think teams can keep it up for a full 16 game season. I really believe this is why you saw Denver's defense wearing down as the season went on last year.

I was wondering this as I was watching the game. Figured everyone on the Internets was crying about how the team stinks.

First game of the season, in a very hostile environment, with Buffalo hanging their entire season on this game. I mean, how many castoffs for the Dolphins did they sign? Buffalo was up for this game, we were the better team, but very rusty.

We still won.

Buffalo is a god awful team. I can't see them winning more than 2 games this year. If they win 2 at all. They play the Lions and Browns so they have a shot there. But against Jets, Pats, Fins, Vikings, Bears, GB, Cincy, Balt, Pitt....they got no shot in hell

Hope Jake Locker likes Western, NY cause he will be drafted there.

Their defense will keep them in some games, and they have an OK running game. They have a veteran head coach, so they won't be completely lost there either.

I could see them surprising a few teams on their way to a 5 or 6 win season.

Not enough people giving them credit, they played a solid game today, its just that we brought it, and earned it more.

Not a shot in hell with that schedule they win 5 or 6. After today pencil them in for 0-6 in the division, they won't hang tough with Miami in Miami. They won't beat Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Minny, or GB. I can't see them beating Cincy or Chicago. Who are they gonna beat? They got the Lions and Browns, those are there only two shots at wins.

I agree Numberone and expect them to play every game tough, and will win 4 to 6 games this year.

They play tuff, and earned my respect for not giving up today.

Good ROAD win period!

Our DEFENCE was solid and our running game was good also.

Henne needs to play better, along with Hartline against Minny next week.

Good win...we're 1-0!smileys with beerthumbs up
