Lynch likely out
It looks like the Buffalo Bills will play their biggest game of the season without their No. 1 offensive weapon. Bills running back Marshawn Lynch was not able to practice Wednesday due to the sprained ankle he suffered in the win over Miami on Sunday. Coach Dick Jauron said he was "not optimistic" Lynch would play vs. the Patriots. Jauron said Lynch's injury is more significant than an "average" ankle sprain, and he could be out for multiple weeks. The Bills are expected to use both rookie Dwayne Wright and veteran Anthony Thomas in Lynch's place.

You patriot fans are the biggest joke in the league. big wow you sell out all your games, that's because you're a dynasty and have won 3 superbowls...let's see you guys miss the playoffs 7 straight years and see how many pats fans are out there.
and for those calling bills fans biggest WT fans in the league, get a life. it's amazing how you're saying that now but i have a feeling you little ho-mo cowards will be quiet as a mouse on sunday. yeah odds are the patriots win this week but never forget when the 10-2 pats lost to the 2-10 dolphins a couple years back. i'll see you ladies sunday, i'll be the one pounding your face into the asfault.

Hey "dave"....been to the Ralph many times. Trust me, WT fans in Buffalo are tame compared to fans in NE. When will you guys get a real stadium anyway? I sat in the upper deck at the Ralph, and it seemed like I was closer to my house in boston than I was to the field!

Hey "Dave" I only went once to Ralph Wilson in the 90s. December 18, 1994. Warm day. Actually warmer that day than it was in Sept when the two met in Foxborough that year. Bills went up 17-0 before Bledsoe took over and ended the game with 41 straight points.
I continued to follow Bledsoe when he went to the Bills and, of course, I followed the Bills when Flutie was QB, as did everyone with Boston roots. I respect the Bills (as you can see from my other posts) as do most of my friends who I have been going to Pats games with since 1981. I also respect the Bills fans. Besides the Steelers they have the best football knowledge and are very loyal.
Bills fans like you, however, sound more like Colts fans: obsessed with the Pats.

Maybe Matt Damon aka pretty boy Brady will have a lineman mistakenly roll up on his knee by accident this week. Maybe the crowd will enjoy themselves and have more reason to cheer. Maybe your perfect record won't be perfect. Maybe they have something in store you don't expect. Stranger things have happened, that's why they play the game. Nothing more I'd like to see than "Miami's old boys club" pop their cork. Here's to knee popping, cork popping good show.

Tom B, actually u couldnt be further from the truth, Bills have the 3rd youngest team in the NHL and are on the rise, just listen to any nfl analyst and they will say the have a promising future a head of them. On the Bills moving, Jim Kelly has allready said has found a group of local investors willing to pay cash for the team, the Bills ain't going anywhere. As far as calling Bills fans WT, sounds like uve been to the ralph and ur yuppie/arrogant butt couldnt take the heat. But I guess that's to expected from NE fans, you will all dissapear once your team starts to fall, I have no doupt about it.

Can we please turn on the idiot trash talker filters? Its always easy to talk trash when your team is winning. What did you have to say when your precious Patsies were losing? Not a lot, I am willing to wager. Oh, and I wouldn't get too giddy over Brady and his TD pass numbers. They keep running up the score like stuck up school-boys and you can bet your butt that there will be a head hunter that takes out your pretty boy QB. Trying to show the league something? Like that you are truly poor sportsmen? Not real smart. Where is the team without Brady? It might not be long before we all find out.

Might as well get used to playing without Lynch. If history has told us anything, it's that the best players are traded off the team as soon as someone else can offer more money. Oh well, he was fun to watch for a little bit.

The AFC was horrible when the Bills were good in the 90's. I remember the good 'ole 80's when Rich Stadium was half-filled with two guys at the top of the stadium (by themselves) with paperbags on their heads. Those days are just around the corner for the Bills, except the team will be in LA or Toronto. I love traveling from Boston to Buffalo to see the biggest WT fans in the league....

I am sitting in the non-alcoholic family section on Sunday night (where I figure I will be safer wearing my Bruschi jersey), so I won't be able to play that Losman drinking game. Once he gets pulled you can start taking a drink with every Brady TD pass and you'll get just as drunk.
Posted by: Pats Fan in NY | November 14, 2007 at 09:05 PM
With Lynch out, the Bills chances of winning just when from slim, to NONE.
Drinking game. Everytime JP Losman makes a bonehead play, you take a drink.
You'll be hammered before halftime.

Ko Simpson was injured against Denver in Week 1

"Biggest game of the season"? Thats funny.
They might as well put the practice squad out there.
It would save any further injuries to starters so they can play in games we have a chance of winning. We can run the table after the Pats.
Ko Simpson and Posluszny may not have gotten injured if we put out the practice squad players the first time we played the Pats.
Instead of being forced to start the practice squad players now.
