Buffalo Bills (3-0) @ Cincinnati Bengals (1-2)

Eh, this is the first year in how long that Bills fans have really been able to do that? I guess there was that one year with Skeletor but did we really think that was gonna work out?

We've had to put up with insufferable Patriots fans, Jets fans, Steelers fans, Cowboys fans, etc for a long time. One early season fast start ain't gonna hurt anybody.

Also we have to cut McKelvin this week. Dude couldn't start anywhere in the league.

The thing with McKelvin that is starting to drive me nuts since i'm seeing your criticisms so i'm watching him more closely is that he'll make a good play once or twice a game but outside of that he can't cover/make tackles to save his life!

So maddening!

Edit: And one question regarding the end of the Bills-Patriots game. When Fitz took a knee and the Patriots tackled him anyway, was that considered a legal tackle because the Bills weren't in the victory formation or was that called illegal? I noticed the Falcons tried to tackle Josh Freeman when he took a knee after baiting them offsides too.

The bolded part really seemed to ring true this week. I expect it to be the same way next week against the hungry Eagles too. If the Bills offense doesn't put up 30+, I think they'll lose next week as well.
