Subject: Bills best in NFL--unquestionably!!!

I think (know) that the Bills have proved that they are once again the best
team in the NFL!!!

First, though, about the Miami game:

I've noticed a lot of people wondering why the Bills have suddednly "resurged."
Is it the players?    
Is it injuries?
Coaching?
No more player slumps?

Here is the answer:

Bills O-coordinator Marchibroda left to Indy to take the coaching job there.
When he left, he was replaced by offensive line coach Tim Bresnehan.  Bres-
nehan and Levy decided to slow down the pace of the no-huddle attack and 
wanted to used the two RB, two receiver and 2 WR, 2 TE sets more to "diversify"
their look and to "challenge" opposing teams.

The first four games the Bills did not do the above.  The next four they did.
Then, the last to games they didn't again.

What I am saying is if it ain't broke, don't fix it.  The last two years the
Bills have been using 3WR's and have won.  Their losing streak occurred because
they got away from their high octane offense.  Since they began to reuse it
against Pitt and Miami, they points have been coming again.

Also another important point.

The Bills no huddle is based on speed--don't allow defensive substitutions.
In the Bills mini-slump (i.e. weeks 5-8), the Bills were running plays every
27 to 30 seconds. In the last two games, they ran the no-huddle at the 17-18
second pace!  This virtually eliminated defensive substitutions and resulted
in more points.

One last point:

The TE plays a critical role in the Bills O.  His job is to clear up the middle
of the field by drawing defenders away from Thurman when he comes out of the
backfield and Reed when he runs his crossing routes.  The first four games
had Pete Metzelaars plaing an active role in the O.  The next four games
had absolutely no TE in the offense.  Consequently, the Bills had difficulties
in getting Thomas and Reed open.  This may answer the question about why
Reed wasn't catching any passes lately.  Finally, McKeller is back.  He puts
the "K" in the K-gun offense.  As you witnessed, Keith McKeller allowed 
Thomas to catch for 67 yards.  He also opened up the field for a lot of
short yardage stuff for Kelly.

Remember:  McKeller is still improving after holding out in training camp
and being injured.  His play is vital for the Bills offensive machine.

Now....The Bills are undeniably the best team in football.

AFC...The Bills have beat 2 of the best 3 opponents in the AFC (Pitt and Miami).Don't worry, the get to finish off Denver and Houston later in the year.

The home field advantage for the Bills is secure!!!  Once again, the road thru
(thru==>to) the SB goes thru Buffalo. (i.e. Bills to SB once again).

NFC...The Bills have beaten SF AT SF.  This gives them the edge over them.
Also, the Bills D is playing far superior to San Fran's. Dallas is still
young and the momentum (at least temporarily) is downward for them.  

So I just don't see an NFC SB win happening this year.  When you've beaten
2 of the top 3 records in football....BOTH ON THE ROAD!!!!...how can you
not be good.

For you doubters (if any are left on the net after the BET II)...
The Bills will still play New Orleans .....7-3
                          Denver...........7-3
                          Houston..........6-4

NO and Houston are on the road.
The Bills have already beaten:
                          San Francisco....8-2
                          Pittsburgh.......6-4 (or is 7-3?)
                          Miami............7-3

If you beat the best, you are the BEST!!!

P.s. 
I personally thinik
I personally think that all Dolphans who took part in the BET should be
allowed to come back because what fun is it if you say something like:
Miami stinks or Bills are #1 (woof-woof) without any response.

Oh, also, who do you think is the 2nd best team in the NFL?  
This is a good discussion (flame-war) which will probably raise some
interesting points.

I personally rank the teams:
1.  Buffalo
2.  San Francisco
3.  Dallas ( a close third)

Note the gap between 1 and 2 is huge!!!!
