Is there any bong water left?

I love Bills fans. They haven’t done anything to warrant belitting other fans but they come here talking about their one game wonder QB like he’s the second coming of Dan Marino. Beating up on the Chiefs isn’t really a big deal, they suck. In fact oakland beat them down twice last year. You guys should do something great before you talk a lot. Raider fans coming here and talking up a good running back who has proven himself to be pretty good isn’t the same as saying he’s OJ Simpson. We’ll see how may TDs Ryan K throws this week with Seymore, Kelly, Houston and company draped over him. My money says dude is peeing down his leg by the 2nd quarter.

Don’t forget Bills fans you were what 4-12 last year? Didn’t you lose your first 7-8 games?

I like when Raiders fans point out the teams’ records from last year but don’t bother to mention that the Raiders got to play six games against the AFC West. That division is garbage – and the Bills just took out its #1 trash bag on the road last week.

Like Bills fans failing to mention starting out 0-8 last season and finishing 4-12, or that Oakland finished last season with a beatdown on the road against the same team you’re hanging your hat on this season.

Luponatrix, Do we need to point out how pathetic the patriots, jets and the colts were when your bills went to 4 straight superbowls? Yeah!!! That’s what I thought.

Lupontrix, I love it when Raider fans remind Bills fans they have three rings to the Bills nada,..try head to head matches, try superbowls, try anything,..but you will lose every time. Have a nice day.

To me, his skillset is unreal. He’s built kind of like a cross between Adrian Peterson and Jamaal Charles. Big, but nasty fast. He’s going to have a huge year if he can stay healthy.

I have no idea why I have received all the thumbs down on my previous post……
__________________

While I didn’t give you a thumbs down for your opinion, it’s simple… in effect, you said DMac will NEVER reach OJ’s status. So, you’re a fortune teller? Not many football fans respect that. Reality is, everyone knows DMac has plenty of talent to reach OJ’s level of play, and while he may not be as fast as OJ, he’s DEFINITELY close.

But here’s the deal… you have taken a simple comparison, and ran with it (no pun intended). The OP never said DMac would accomplish OJ’s stats. Seriously… anybody who tries to do that is not taking into account things such as…. oh… the team around them?! Here’s what the OP wrote:

Someone on inside bay area blog likened McFadden’s running style, vision and guile to OJ Simpson’s, and I thought that was so spot on after watching old highlights of OJ and seeing a highlights package of McFadden.
____________________________

GG simply suggested that DMac has a similar skillset as OJ. Which I happen to agree with.

Pardon me Bills Fan, but you’re bias is showing… and it ain’t pretty.

51-3?…lol….really?…I bet Buffalo would trade that one playoff game for one of Oaklands three Lombari trophies,…Buffalo at least gets to brag about losing four superbowls in a row,..no wonder why so many Bills fans end up at the bottom of Niagra Falls. (They didnt accidently slip)

I have no idea why I have received all the thumbs down on my previous post……obviously must be misinformed Raider fans. First of all McFadden is good, last year was his first good year. McFadden is fast. But the person who posted someone wrote a blog in the bay area comparing him to OJ Simpson and it sounds about right, is completely off their rocker. Maybe you people who gave me the thumbs down are not old enough to have seen OJ back in the day, well I am old enough. Again, McFadden is fast, but OJ had world class speed, he was on the rely team at USC that broke the world record. The speed between the two isn’t even close. Just for the record, OJ still holds the single season yeards per game average which stands at 143.1 ypg. It’s like comparing apples to oranges. OJ was one of the top backs to ever put on an NFL uniform. Jury is still out on Run DMC. Good luck this week Raider fans, should be a great game between Buffalo and Oakland. Go Bills!!

McFadden is the best running back in the league. I might be biased but I don’t care. Great speed, great power, great catching ability. He can also put linebackers on their backs on blitz pickups. And he isn’t a selfish diva like CJ2K.

Now as far as DMC? He brings the wood. Dude is playing some BALL!

Bills Gameplan…

Stack the box, make campbell beat you with their backup WRs…Ryan Fitzpatrick will exploit the raiders with quick passes over the middle of the field against linebackers who can’t cover.
___________________

Yes… that is what the Bills MUST do to have a chance at winning the game. Problem is for the Bills, going back to last season, the Raiders have faced that exact same game plan week in and week out, and they still put up huge rush numbers, all the while grabbing the #6 spot in scoring.

Fitzpatrick is going to face one of, if not THE, best DL rotation in the NFL. The Raiders have 7-9 defensive lineman who could start on most NFL teams. Because of the consistent rotation, those big boys are fresh in fourth quarter, while the opposing OL is sucking air and plodding.

The Bills had better hope for a repeat of their game against the Chiefs… putting up 20 points early… or the Raiders running game and DL are going to pound them into submission. If it’s close in the fourth quarter, Raiders roll to win it.

IMO, the Raiders DL and blitzes are going to have Fitz running for his life… and will be the main reason why the Raiders win a close game.

Can’t say enough good things about D Mac he’s a Football’s player Football player…A Raider’s Raider.

So glad that 5 cent low budget coach Tom Cable is no longer in charge of developing out Multi Million dollar talent. Hue Jackson is the best thing that happened to D Mac in his professional career.

Don’t sleep on the other raider running backs also. Bush and the rookie Taiwan Jones. Jones might be the fastest player with the ball in his hands in the NFL. If d-Mac gets hurt, Taiwan will shine.

Easily the best player on the raiders. Everytime he touches the ball, he has that explosiveness to go all the way. Hope the o-line can block better this year for him because we need him healthy. The guy is a beast!!

@GG Eden………..your drinking bong water…..McFadden is not on the same planet as OJ Simpson, nor will he ever be. For obvious reasons, I don’t like OJ, but he was one of the best running backs period, hands down.

Bills Gameplan…

Stack the box, make campbell beat you with their backup WRs, contain the outside on the runs, make run DMC run through Kyle Williams and Dareus…

I like that matchup.

Ryan Fitzpatrick will exploit the raiders with quick passes over the middle of the field against linebackers who can’t cover.

Look for Roscoe and Chandler to David Nelson to get a lot of catches…
