Do not adjust your computer monitor or check your eyeglasses, Bills fans.
The numbers you are about to read are real. Through the first three weeks of the season, the Buffalo Bills are the highest-scoring team in the NFL, with 113 points (37.7 per game). They're averaging 431 yards per game, which is third in the league.
"We've gotten off to a great start, no doubt," Bills running back Fred Jackson said, before adding the caveat that's become mantra in the Bills locker room. "We have a lot of work that we can still look at and see where we can improve as an offense even with the stats we're putting up now. There are a lot of plays that we look at on film that can still be made by us.
"There's still a lot of games to be played and a lot of work," quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said. "There's a lot of stuff we can correct from this last game. The goal is to get better every week and we need to continue to do that."
By now, the Bills' recent history on offense is well known. It's been offensive.
Buffalo hasn't finished in the top 10 in yards per game in the last 10 seasons. In eight of those 10 years, the team has finished 25th or worse.
The '04 Bills team finished seventh in scoring (24.7 points per game), the only time Buffalo has been in the top 10 in that category in the last decade. In eight of 10 years, the Bills have been 23rd or worse.
There were hints last season the offense was taking a turn under new coach Chan Gailey, but the results weren't overwhelming. The Bills were 25th in yards and 28th in points a season ago.
So what's keyed such a radical turnaround?
"I give a lot of credit to the O-line, to Fitz, to the receivers, to Fred and to the tight ends. I mean, the coaching staff's doing a great job of getting them organized and communicating what we want on the field," Gailey said.
In other words, it's all come together during this 3-0 start that has left fans wondering just how far this team can go, and caught the attention of the national media.
Reporters from Yahoo! Sports, ESPN and NFL Network were in the locker room Monday. Fitzpatrick appeared on the nationally syndicated Jim Rome Show among at least seven radio spots he did on the day. That was certainly not the case a season ago.
"I don't love it," Fitzpatrick said, only half-kidding. "I mean it's cool, it's good for our team and it's good for our city to get some recognition. I was just fine how it was last year, being able to walk around here and talking to like three of you guys. It's a good problem and obviously I'd love it to continue because that means that we're winning games and we're still competitive."
"They deserve it," center Eric Wood said of the national attention paid to Fitzpatrick, Jackson and receiver Stevie Johnson. "They're playmakers, and playmakers in this league get a lot of publicity."
Wood said it could be viewed as a sign of respect, but pointed out that the Bills were big underdogs heading into Sunday's game with New England.
"I'm sure people are making tons of excuses [Monday] for the Patriots losing that game, and that's fine," Wood said. "We don't want you [the media] to pump us up. We don't need people pumping us up. We've got a good, solid group of guys, good leadership that will keep us going in the right direction."
As he was finishing an interview, the rest of the offensive line came up behind Wood to pull him away. He was late to a meeting.

I have a substantial (for me) wager on Jayson Werth to hit over 20.5 HRs this season. He is at 20 with 2 games to play. Pray for me.

I like all the activities in both groups (assuming I can do sasquatch spotting without actually hiking) I've never hunted before, does that mean we'd actually be firing guns? If so, we should start a death pool. Oh and also I'd like to be able to do something with Kev's wild outerspace hair. Maybe get my picture taken next to it or brush it in the mornings.Basically, you want to please two groups. Group 1: Fishing, hunting, hiking, sasquatch spotting, etc.Group 2: Booze, bars, titty joints, gambling, etc.If you can find a middle ground that's close to Portland, you're everyone's hero.I'll keep looking for the right spot/location. I'm certainly aware it's a pain in the butt to get out here and the last thing I want to do is pick a spot that's another 3 hours away by car after people have spent 4-5 hours in the air. Tricky dance, but we can figure it out.And you left out poker. I really enjoyed playing that at MHI and would have liked to do more of that and less of watching you guys play Guitar Hero, but I don't think Gatorman wanted me in on his poker games.

Substantial wager on Browns OVER 6.5 wins this season. Though I love the 2-1 start, I fear this thing will end with 6 wins and a trail of tears.

You aren't complaining, are you? Hell, I'd do Tony Romo and he's my 3rd favorite Dallas QB of all time. Not many of our wives would look like Alex Morgan with a pink hair band, so I should say consider yourself lucky.

No kidding. It's uncanny/freaky when he walks into a room with any kind of Romo-ish grin on his face.ETA: without the backwards hat, the resemblance is more like 40%. Weird.

I made a modified version of GM's masturbation chicken tonight and holy #### you guys, so good. I only had 2 lbs. of drumsticks not 4 lbs., but kept the seasonings the same except double the garlic powder, add 1 t of Cumin and a 1/2 t of cayenne pepper. Cook on low for about 4 hours or so. They were so good I might have to get up at 4am and have some more, if you know what I mean.
