kudos to the crowd

What a wonderful Sunday it was for Eagle hunting.  I think we bagged our limet, to say the least lol

Micheal Vick proved once and for all what a great athlete he was.  Some of the moves he put on Bills defenders made me do a double take.  He didn't rush for over 9,900 yards in his career by pure luck.  The man is a superb athlete.  I knew comng into this game that Vick would make it close.  I even told my son that "Vick scares me" when the Bills had a commanding lead.

I was right.  He almost did enough to overcome all his mistakes and squeeze out a win.  Too bad the Eagles got Buffaloed.  They got stampeded by an opportunistic Bills defense that forced 5 turnovers.  FOUR of them by Vick, himself.  Not his best day...

The crowd was really into this game.  Even before the kickoff.  Eagles fans are notorious for their poor attitude towards opposing team's fans and they didn't disappoint this week either.  A group of 4 or five walked past my parking spot at about 11 am and they were screaming about how horrible Bills fans were and what a lousy record we should have, etc.  Fortunately, a few large Bills fans were coming over to teach them a lesson.  I've heard, and read, dozens of other stories reiterating the same thing.  Bills fans protecting their home turf.  Kudos, Bills fans.  Keep up the good work.

It's my belief that the guy that ran onto the field in the 3rd quarter was an Eagles fan trying to get away from the ravaging pack that is Bills fans.  He probably had been shooting off at the mouth all day, and then saw his team trailing by a ton.  Rather then exit with grace and class (something Eagles fans don't have anyway) he ran onto the field and interrupted the game.  Kudos, Bills fans.  Keep up the good work.

Looking ahead, we play the Giants next week.  I'm looking forward to this game for several reasons.  :
1) my wife is a closet Giants fan and at least one of us is bound to be happy at the end of the day. (too bad it won't be her )
2) Perry Fewell took over for Dicky J. when he was FINALLY relieved of his duities.  He didn't get to stay, but he's the coach first coach that thought Ryan Fitzpatrick could be a starter in this league.  It was a wise choice that's still paying dividends for the Bills today.  I'm wondering how the post game talk is going to go between the two of them.

Good time to be a Bills fan.  I never left and have recruited many in my time to join.  Here's to making reservations for the playoofs in the near future...
