I disagree on talent here. IF the Bills promoted Whaley and let him hire his guy and draft a QB in the first round, i think this team wins. Look around the league. The Falcons where terrible in 2007. Petrino runs out in the middle of the night and is singing Pig Sooie at Arkansas before even telling his players what he was doing. Vick and the dog fighting investigation is unravelling. Blank finally learns to step aside and hire a good GM and promotes McKay to president of football operations. The rest is history. Over the past decade when teams have brought in a new GM then let him hire a HC and they draft a qb in the next draft, good things happen. Its like everyone in on the same page of the building a team from the start. There is talent on the Bills i believe that. But Gailey is done. He is uninspring and in over his head. Buddy needs to go to. Sorry but the time has come. Really start over and bring in all three levels that are most important. GM, HC and QB!!!

Look at what the Texans do with Watt. They are moving him around constantly changing looks. Wanny just says line up and run forward. Honestly Marcell will be a great player for the Bills for years to come. I firmly believe that. The problem has been Wanny stubbornness to realize the league has changed. He is grudgingly giving in and mixing it up. If he continues to do that we will see Marcell in the back field more and more.

Byrd is a very up and down guy. He has looked magnificent sometimes and others he is no where to be found. Not sure if it is scheme or what. The INT against Miami was maybe one of the best you will ever see. He has great ball hawking ability. He plays the run decent. He is not overly fast, so if he makes a mistake he can not recover easily. He also will not be able to run down a fast receiver or back, he has worked on his angles and approach. All in all he will need to be paid top 10 safety money. Is Searcy a free safety or strong safety?

Because history repeats itself for the Buffalo Bills?

true- But i believe due to the rules of the game it is even more so now. DB's can not do half the things they could 12-15 years ago. Also the QB's are close to untouchable. But you are right. Look at the Steelers(70's), Cowboys(70's and 90's), and Frisco(80's). Giants even can make a claim to it with Simms and Parcell. If Mannin and Coughlin win one more i would put them up there.

Bills need to win, no doubt. The fact that Indy does not rush well favors Buffalo. I also hope that Wanny stays with his theory of mixing up fronts when it comes to rookies and/or unproven qb's. First time i saw any real sign of this was against Kolb in 'Zona. He also did some nice things against Tanneyhill in the Miami game. Putting Kyle and Marcel in the A gap was awesome. One of the guys will come free because the center will get pulled one way or the other. I also hope the ends can set the edge. Luck is much more mobile then people give him credit for. Bills can not leave miles of open space in the middle of the field. I would love to see Wanny dig deep into his bag of Defensive fronts. Given the Bills had some extra time to prepare for Indy should aide in this. On O I love the fact Freddie is back. IF Chan will limit Fitz to under 30 passes, the Bills have a real shot. Use CJ the same way they did against Miami. Let Freddie come in and get 12-15 touches, the bulk in short yardage and also in the second half/fourth quarter. Pound the ball with our big boys up front. The oline of Glenn, Levitre, Wood, Urbik, and Hairston should be able to open up holes for either CJ or Freddie. This Oline is the best the Bills have when it comes to running. There was a lot of talk about screens during the last game and since. Also it has been mentioned the Colts do not play the screen well. For this reason i suspect the Colts have been spending a lot of time preparring for it. Not sure how well it will work against them. Gailey is great at mixing up screens, so do not abandom them, but they can not be the 'go to' play. RUN, RUN, then pass. Control the clock from the outset. Due to Luck's ability to make great passes the Colts can score quick. So the O needs to set the tempo of a ground and pound game. Sorry for the Rex comment, but it really is how the Bills should be playing. In the end the Bills win 31-24. The drive to the playoffs endures another week. The Bills begin sucking us back in!! Ha

NE proves it is a QB driven league. It also shows what a great HC will do for you. BB understands the game of football like no one else. And no i do not like him. BB is a great mastermind. He gets his team to buy into what he preaches. Brady has been brain washed into thinking whatever BB says it is the word of God. If you look around the league at teams that have been good for the past decade you will see one common denominator- a very good QB and a very good HC that are on the same page. Think about it

Put some Chandler in their and i agree. Chandler is money inside the 20. I think up until the Texan games, the Bills held one of the leagues best redzone TD percentage.

'So your saying hteirs a chance?'.....I hear ya!

Once you get the hang of it pretty fun. I did winning percent. Then changed the Bills vs Indy and Seattle to Bills victories. Bills got in. Shows you how good/fun technology can be!

Bills lose this week. THEN win the last 5. Get eliminated in a tie breaker scenario with everyone. 9-7. Chan stays. Buddy gets his qb. Get a new D cord. D looks great next year. Bills in the playoffs next season.

Sorry. Adequate to win games against BAD teams? Yes. Adequate to win games against good to great teams? NO! Until the Bills get a good to great QB, we got what we got. A team that will be mediocre. It is a QB driven league. Unless the Bills address that position, they will be what we have seen. As your qb goes, so goes your team. Look at the Saints. They have a horrbile D, but a great QB. The reason why they will finish with a better record then Buffalo is because of Brees. Why not try and get one player and fix many problems. Then get many players to try and fix one problem. Winning is the problem. Give me a good qb with an average D any day over the opposite.

Loved what i saw out of Glenn last night. But Urbik looked great. To me he stole the show. Guys has great agility. I was really impressed with the entire oline. Hairston was a little shaky. And some of the line calls were crazy. Mayock did a good job of breaking down why Cam Wake got a couple free shots. Sorry but slanting the oline away from the opposing D's best end just seems nuts.

last nights game answered this question. Bills D gave up 7 points. Bills O scored 12 points. In my eyes that shows that instead of going out there and putting up 20, like they could or should have the O settles for 4 field goals. Fitz tried twice to throw INT on Miami's side of the 50. Sorry guys, a win is a win, but Fitz isn't the answer. He is not consistent

Its the NFL, games are more times tight then blowouts. And you just pointed out he can not be trusted late in the game? To me he would 'Fitz' us in close low scoring games to!

and when where those 2 picks? Both ended the game!!!

Lets look at the New England game as a blue print for what you are saying. In the second half Buffalo's D held Brady and NE to 13 points. Pretty respectable. Fitz and the Bills scorred 14 points. The problem was/is that Buffalo could not answer New Englands drives with touchdowns or even field goals a few times. It was almost as if the Bills where answering a NE drive with a similar type of drive. When the Bills held the Pats to a punt, there was the opportunity to go get a touchdown and take the lead or tie. Instead the Bills would punt too. Fitz is the best back up in the league. He just is not a starter. He does not have the 'it' factor. I like him but he is way to inconsistant. Ask yourself a question, when Fitz and the offense got the ball back where you 100% confident they could score a touchdown? We as Bills fans have not had that 100% confidence since Jim Kelly in the earl to mid 90's. Ask Pats, Greenbay, Denver, and even Saints or Falcons fans the same question. They will all tell you they believe they will win the game, and more times then not they do. they do because they know it is a passers league and they got very good to outstanding qb's. There is a guy or two coming out next year. Stats prove it. Every year over the last 15 years atleast 1 franchise QB has come out. Buddy and the FO job is to find that guy.

I got to agree with this. If you make your team better but play with an inferioir QB, you will keep winning just enough games to put you out of the running for a true good qb. Better to grab your QB when you really stink and have a top 3 pick then wait and try to get him later in round one or another lower round.

Really? I mean i have no idea how big or strong you are, but he is a professional athelete. He plays at 6'2 255#'s. Not saying you could not whip his butt, but he is going to leave a mark or two on you. And yes i think he is a thug piece of crap. Just like a lot of guys NE has had on D. Rodney Harrison was another cheap shot loud talker. He is the only thing about Sunday Night football i can not stand.

Every game is winnable from here on out, no doubt about it. The Bills have left themselves zero margin for error. I did like the fact that the D held the Pats to a fieldgoal yesterday on that last drive. It gave the team a chance to win. Teams in the past would have rolled over. If the Bills can play a 60 mins game, they could beat anyone in the league. i really do believe that. the talent is there. They all need to man up and do it. Starting with Fitz, they can not crack under the pressure

Hey guys- I live in Atlanta and have 5 tickets for the Bills Game this Thursday night. I do not want them to go to waste and i can not make it up. In a perfect world i would like to send a family who can not afford to go to a game usually. Times are tough and i know someone out there could enjoy a fun night out. They are in SEC 336 Row 11 seat 6-10. Not sure how good/bad- but hey they are free!! ha I will even pay to overnight them to you. Send me a private message if you could use them.

Jones looked great yesterday. He played better then SJ. I really think the receiving core is shaping up. If Nelson had not gone down, they would be even deeper and better. Chandler is solid. Good hands, big target, and finds a way to get open. The Pats are definetly on the decline, no two ways around it. Brady and the boys know they do not have much time left. Fitz had great numbers, again. But he Fitzed us in the end. Sorry i am an optimist but also a realist. You need a guy who makes the right throw at that point. I know Graham ran the wrong route, i get it. But personally he had CJ wide open. CJ probably does not score but he gets the first. I never like giving Brady the ball back with any time, not to mention they had at least 2 time outs. I give the OP credit. And i also think you are right about next year and the next three games. Bills got to win the next three. Would make December more fun to watch!!

Jones had a great day yesterday. He dropped the one ball on the drive late in the game, but other then that he was pretty money. Not sure he is a number 2 receiver but makes a good fourth guy, for not much money. Personally, yesterday, Jones looked more like SJ then SJ did.

He should have 100% dropped it off to CJ. Instead of going for it twice into the endzone Fitz makes the pass to CJ on second down. He gets the first by far. Then clock the ball IF CJ does not score. Heck i might even try a designed QB draw on one. If you do not score, clock it again, go for it on fourth. Sorry, but lets say the Bills scored with 25-30 seconds left and are up by one. You really want to give Brady the ball back with time outs?

Nix likes the SEC and guys from the south. We all know that from his last two drafts. If Murray finishes strong and declares, i would bet he is the guy. The Bills could probably get him around where they will be picking in the first. Murray is very interesting player. great stats but has struggled at times in 'big games'. When i say finish strong i mean have a great game this Saturday against Auburn- who has a good D. Then play a great game against Bama's D in the Dome for the SEC championship. If Murray does those two things he will vault up to a first round pick. Combine does not matter for QB's, since they hardly ever throw.
