-I know that everyone has an opinion about the Bills playing one game a year in Toronto. Seems like everyone wants to blame Ralph Wilson for the decision to do this. Wrong. You want to blame anyone for this, blame New York State for not being able to bring new businesses to Buffalo to buy luxury boxes. After you blame NYS, blame the NFL and guys like Jerry Jones and Dan Snyder who have eliminated the casual fan who makes $50,000 a year. Lastly, would you rather the Bills raise ticket prices by 50% to recoup the money they are making in Toronto?-
-I’ll keep saying it till I’m blue in the face. If the Bills were the Patriots, the game in Toronto would sell out very easily. There’s a reason why almost 20,000 season ticket holders are from Canada. It’s because they bought into the team during the 90’s when they had star power and were going to the Super Bowl four straight years. Get the team to those standards again and Canadians will come-
-Everyone has been saying the key match-up to tonight’s game is Revis versus Owens. Not so fast. It’s going to be about Thomas Jones against the Bills rush defense. Fans forget that the Jets rushed for over 300 yards against the Bills last time around. Since Perry Fewell has taken over the Bills coaching spot, they have been able to contain the opposition’s running game. We all know Mark Sanchez is about as fragile as Todd Collins, so look for the Jets to run Jones into the ground to take the pressure off Sanchez-
-Could this be Fred Jackson’s coming out party? Playing in front of a national audience,
(OK, anyone who has Comcast or a satellite dish) Jackson should be licking his chops because the Jets have been terrible against stopping the run since Chris Jenkins went down with an injury-
-Remember the baseball movie “League of their own,” where the fans didn’t show up to any of the games at first, and the ones who were there, didn’t care. The Owners told the girl ball players to go all out and use gimmicks to get the crowd involved (I think Madonna flashed the crowd). Don’t be surprised if the Bills try to air it out and use some razzle dazzle in this one. Remember, your playing in front of fans who really don’t care about being there. Maybe, Ralph or Brandon will tell Fewell to play as if they are the Florida Gators with Steve Spurrier. Hopefully they don’t let Owens go the route of the “Material Girl”-
-So Barenaked Ladies are performing for tonight’s game. Seriously? Is it 1997? I can tell you, if I had a million dollars, I would buy a real half-time act-
-I have a good feeling about tonight, I think the Jets are flawed and have bigger QB issues than the Bills do. I also think the Bills run defense is a lot better this time around. The only way the Bills lose this game is if Thomas Jones rushes for over 125 yards. Which is why he will rush for only 110.
