8-8 Forever?

and they won't get one this year either. will go 8-8 and get another CB round #1 to replace Gilmore, who they won't be able to afford

Mario should be back

gosh you are one heck of an optimist. love it. can't get there right now myself ... i don't understand how we can attack on defense one week and be totally unpredictable and rush 2 or 3 guys all game the next week. I'm no NFL coaching genius, but man that was hard to watch ...

Yep. Came up small when the chips were down. Gotta run the table now. I guess anything's possible, but who wants to suffer through that stress?? Looks like 8-8 or 9-7 and no playoffs again. Amazing how they find ways to not get it done when it really really matters. London, this game, who knows they'll probably win the next two , then crater at the Redskins and end the season, again. how many times do we have to die a little like this??

the more guys injured, the better our chances. just the way it is in the NFL. we have a few out ourselves... so it evens out the matchup

Well,,, yes, they will play to keep him in the pocket, he just needs to make the throws this allows. They won't over pursue, but when they do or when he has the running lane, he's now not taking it right away; he needs to decisive. If you are going , go. If not , find a target or throw it away. He seems somewhere in the middle now.. this is how he gets killed...

I think TT will be fine. He's is playing hurt a lot now. Too early to tell. Lets see how he comes through the season. We will have no shot at a good QB in the draft, so forget that. Maybe Kaepernick, because he knows the offense and has had success in the past... RGIII, nah

sigh.

yeah, next two games pretty much say it all for this season.... two conference games against teams with same record. this is it. Go Bills

Leo will be the guy for the remainder of the year. the return game is simply going away in the NFL. punters are directionally consistent now, PKs kick it to Mars, Let Leo do it, he's good at it except when he fumbles games away, like he did last night... just FC the damn ball and protect the possession. Our STs are middling this year. Now Easley is probably out, so lets just kick it out of the end zone and punt to the corners. time for Gay and Schmidt to earn the bucks. they need to make minimal, minimal errors

They've earned the right to be smug. The AFC stinks this year, and They are killing everyone they run into. Win the game and it all starts to go away. Lose the game and it continues. Pretty simple in the NFL. Winners on top, losers on the bottom. Nothing in between. Go Bills.

yeah really. weak. lame Bills fan, thinking "the fix is in". lame. loser thinking. go bills. new era begins tomorrow night.

this is why FAs never wanted to come to this franchise... career killing move. small market, no exposure, bad team. hopefully Pegs and Rex are getting that perception fixed.

i'll swap Williams for Gurley in a second. Gurley is Karlos and Shady in the same body. the whole package.

this. Jets front 7 are monsters.

Victory! Just win baby. Chalk up the W

tear that crap down now. the mafia can't be far behind . its close enough to gambling on sports if you ask me

great input yolo

of course. This is what Whaley does for a living. you can be sure he is on it.

not me. just win baby and it all goes away......

Suh makes a fool out of pro bowlers. Next.

still unclear. lots more football to play friends before we have this discussion. Based on what I've seen so far, i think we found our guy. he looks like a cross between Russell Wilson and Michael Vick. but its early.. Plus we won't be drafting early enough this year to get a top QB anyway, so the whole discussion is pretty much moot

didn't anyone see Shady's freakin' out of this world run on Sunday? I'll trade that kind of play for some linebacker leader thing any day. This is a system defense, run stuff up front, then fast pressure get the ball out. the names on the jerseys mean less than everyone doing their job. having some LB leader person so we can hero worship him is pretty useless . NFL is an offense driven league. Build a great offense and go win games with it.

Just another manifestation of Ralph's demise. You can switch coaches and therefore schemes (as coaches get to where they are coaching and calling their own schemes) but you cannot change the roster as quickly. When Pegs took over we finally had solid long term ownership had a chance to go for it with coaching. We went with Rex and Roman and when we did, the roster inherited two of the most unusual and complex schemes in football on both sides. Rex believes he can be more successful forcing the ball out extemely quickly with pressure and all but abandons the coverage sack, b/c coverage is in man. So subtract a couple coverage sacks per game. Gone, not coming back. This D makes the corners look great, b/c they are looking to jump the hot routes and attack everything else because the ball is out so fast and is not accurate half the time. Just his philosophy; run stuff on 1st down, then pressure on 2nd and 3rd; the front seven don't get sacks b/c the ball is gone before they could conceivably get there. Rex made Revis , but sacrificed coverage sacks doing it. His defenses likes but doesn't absolutely require sack artists; what he wants it push and quick pressure and will bring 5, 6 or 7 guys to get it -- doesn;t care what their names are. Rex is the defensive version of Gailey; he uses scheme to get results; the players don't necessarily need to be pro bowl quality; i swear Gailey could score on an NFL defense with 11 college players. He was scoring 30+ a game with Donald Jones and David Nelson for crying out loud. Its all in the scheme and play calling. Rex's big plays are pass breakups on hurried throws and the occasional bum rush/pass rush induced splash plays (Hughes' sacks yesterday and Browns pick six in Miami). Now we have pro bowl 1st teamers in the front seven... well those guys were brought in under a 4 man rush/coverage sack concept that no longer applies. That's what happens when you are kings of suck for 15 years with a death bed owner and therefore change scheme/ flip low quality coaches every 2 years. Now for the first time since Wade Phillips we have two really brilliant , out of the box scheme coaches who have proven approaches . No one should complain. We do have guys who are over-qualified/paid for what they are now being asked to do. Is what it is. that will shake out over time as contracts expire . Eg. I see IK replacing Mario next year, no question. IK is the kind of spare part who does exactly what Rex needs: quick hard pressure... Hughes is another, Kyle is another. Dareus is what Rex had in NY with Kris Jenkins, albeit at a very high price. Its all good. We are looking too far under the covers. Rex will take a quick pressure sacks, but most downs he WANTS the ball to be thrown, just very quickly, very inaccurately and once in awhile to US. See Bortles' wounded duck in the London game; pressure induced crap throw that I could have caught. Patience people. Party just getting started. go bills

yep. he's a bully. love 'im. Ingonito, Hughes, Karlos. Nasty,nasty. love it. go bills. its a nasty game.
