Some things are very telling:

Thundarr, 17 posts and numerous negative articles linked through the first two weeks of the season (Bills 0-2)

Thundarr 2 posts, zero linked articles through the next two weeks of the season (Bills 2-0)

Thundarr where are you!?

A game I wished I could have watched but was on the highway for 10 hours Sunday driving to our vacation destination. I hope this is the start of something very good in Buffalo.

GO BILLS!

This team is still very inconsistent but a road win on the west coast, not to mention 3 wins in a row, is nothing to sneeze at. I'll take it. The Bills still control their own destiny and that is what matters.

What a year for McCoy. Without him I am sure we'd be 0-5. That kind of makes me nervous to have so much riding on one player, especially since they didn't pull him out when the game got down to garbage time.

I am traveling with no TV or Internet so I haven't been able to watch or hear about the Bills. 3 in a row is nice.

Wasn't crazy bout missing a Sunday of football watchin', but leaving on Sunday allowed an extra free day at the vacation condo and one less day of vacation time used from work. I got AM radio most of the way so I wasn't driving blind and deaf! LOL!

As positive as I always seem to be, I really am just realistic. I look at our current winning streak and see that it has basically a 95% chance of becoming a 4 game winning streak. But it still has a ton of questions marks and would have a feel similar to the four game streak we started the 2008 season on.

We have some big games coming up starting week 8. Vs. New England, @ Seattle, Vs. Cincinnati, @ Oakland and Vs. Pittsburgh. Five tough teams. I think even if we only go 2-3 against those five we would be in the thick of the wild card till the very end. If we can manage 3-2 we should be a good bet for a wild card.

The Bills are looking up. A 10-6 record and the playoffs are a distinct possibility with this easy schedule. I am basing this on Tyrod not being injured and the Bills being able to "ground and pound" through the rest of the season without other teams being able to stop it and force Tyrod to pass. I would like to see him pass more than 10 yards to the sidelines and more than 125 yards/game for a $90 million QB. This reminds me of the Michael Vick of a few years ago in 2010 when he had a spectacular running season and then got injured and was ineffective and lost in the playoffs

only the Titans have an easier schedule remaining of the AFC teams, and the Bills close-out the season with 2 home games vs. the Browns (0-5) and Dolphins (1-4) before finishing at the Jets (1-4)

Well you already have your wish Thundarr because he is over 170ypg. And was about 225ypg last year.

I still believe that 170avg will go up with time. BUT, if we continue to run for 200 ypg on the ground, it's not going to go up that quickly. Even throwing for just 225 would put the Bills at 425 yards of total offense. We currently have the best yards per rush average in the league. That's not a bad thing at all.

I wouldn't say we have an easy schedule. We just haven't reached the toughest part of our schedule yet. Same old Bills would lose to all five of those teams I mentioned previously. That would put us at 9-7 if we managed to be perfect the rest of the way against the other inferior teams. I thought our schedule last season was much easier but injuries derailed the team.
