ba Bad coaching! where is Mike Williams? Good thing the team traded for him, and traded away Stevie

Nice, SAMMY!

The Bills can still win this, if Hackett grows a brain in this series. That is a big "IF"

Gaping hole with another first down...Schwartz needs to go right along with Marrone

Probably the only reason the Bills are even still in this game

hey, the refs calling one in our favor, oh yea Brady not in this game

Jeez, glad Hughes & Dareus want to win

Only Buffalo's defense could make a rookie QB look all pro...

It may just happen after the Bye week should they lose the next two...oh, NVM Bradon is still in charge until next year.

For some reason the Bills play down to their level of competition under Marrone.

You would think that now that the Bills are down to one RB that they would get Watkins involved in the run game, end arounds. reverses etc.

Boobie doing his Spiller impersonation...

good lord...

Boobie is about a perfect fit for Hackett's run up the gut offense

As for Fredex, Jackson was injured on a low hit in the second quarter. He had to be helped off the field and was later carted off. Jackson was immediately ruled out for the game. He's likely going to be dealing with a significant injury. With Bryce Brown inactive, Anthony Dixon is the Bills' No. 2 back. http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/4506/fred-jackson

Bud Thanks for the link BillsVet. Times have changed, and i think people will look at jobs in Buffalo differently now after this year. Cowher stated he wouldn't commit to a team unless he knew the owner was 100% committed to winning, and unless said team had a solid starting QB. Buddy Nix's first choice was Marty S, and RW stated he wasn't comfortable with that choice. I think a lot of people (at least 10) turned down that job, and Nix was desperate to hire anyone. The thing is that RW had a history of micromanaging his coaches to the tune of talking to Dick Jauron an hour a day on the phone during the season. Also noted Russ Brandon was in constant contact his last few years due to ill health.

I feel kinda bad for you that you read that post and perceived I hate Orton. I don't hate or even dislike any Buffalo Bill player, and even stated it would suck if the guy got hurt. Then if you don't think the Bills were exceedingly lucky to win at Detroit with their Kicker missing 3 FG's, something that almost never happens in the NFL. The Lions went thru 3 RB's and were on their 4th string at the end of that game. Then they lost their star WR after one play. Then their 5000 yard a year QB can't get the ball in the endzone in the 2nd half. Then yea, a 58 yard FG by Buffalo to win that game. Then I don't know what to tell you that could help.

Hey C.Biscuit97 be happy that EJ is benched and Orton is the starter. Its that much more less chance EJ has a career ending concussion due to the worst line in the NFL. EJ doesn't have a chance in hell to develop properly behind that current line or from the moronic play calling. 40+ passes vs 20 runs. The bills have lost the last 3 of 4, and could have easily lost at Detroit is their kicker doesn't meltdown. If Orton is seriously hurt it will suck, but not as bad as completely ruining a 1st round pick. This coaching staff will be gone after this year, and probably so will the GM. The new regime will be better, and the team will hire a football knowledgeable consultant to properly guide the team. Better days are coming.

There has been a lack of fundamental good coaching on this team for years on the offense, and many areas have ignored, and been bad for a long time. Pears and Urbik were never anything more then stop gap / ban-aids that the team has relied on long after their usefulness has been used up. The team finally decided to replace that RT position this year, and yet keeps trying to fill the OG's spot with garbage players.

scream like a little girl, we won't care. The defense had 9 out of 11 first & second round draft picks in 2013. whats so wrong in drafting more first and second rounders for the offense. Then a player like Jimmy Graham a third rounder, Gronk a second rounder, or even a Jordan Cameron a 4th rounder. Would it really be that difficult to expend a top three draft pick on a tight end? The last time the Bills drafted one in the 3rd round was Kevin Everett in 2005. Chandler was a waiver wire pickup, as was Pears, Urbik. The team needs to spend some early picks on a TE & OG's, and nothing wrong with that in my view.

All it really takes to start moving to that quality of wins from the early 90's is some real football smarts in the front office. Speaking of Bill Polian, as he may just become a consultant with the team. Stranger things have happened. I'm fairly confidant that at some point soon the team will hire an excellent football side president so Kim Pegula as the new CEO isn't bothered every other hour for a decision of some sort. Why am I so confidant you ask? If you research the Pegula's they hire top people to help run their business ventures. Just the same way they hired a firm to successfully purchase the Buffalo Bills. Think a Bill Polian type as president, a Bill Cowher- Jim Harbaugh as head coach. I feel the Bills have a Thurman Thomas already in Fred Jackson, as he is a great locker room- team leader who plays every play with great heart. Did you know that Thurman played his entire career on bad ankles, and just taped them up and went out every game with no complaining. A damn shame Fred had to play for a cluster of morons with each new regime, and he never did get to play behind a great line or on a winning team in Buffalo. That may happen yet, as the Bills only need a few players, coaches to turn things around. Look what happened when Jim Harbaugh took over in San Francisco from 6-10 to 13-3 in one year, and did that with a QB that almost everyone, everywhere had given up on as being a capable QB. (yea they did, as Smith went 3-7 in 2010). Just look how poorly Brady looked this year at Arrowhead against the Chiefs. All I heard was he was done, bench him, the dynasty is over, bring in Richie Incognito....and yet. When EJ was drafted Mike Mayock stated he would take a good 3 years to properly develop, and he should spend at least one year on the bench learning, growing, developing. That he wasn't starting QB material as a rookie, and even his college coach stated as such. Then what do the morons at OBD do, they send the kid out throwing in only his 14th game start against a team with a bad defense against the run, and a fierce pass rush with the best defender in the NFL on their D line. Some QB's simply take a few years before they get up to the speed of the NFL, and start processing things faster. It usually helps if they don't get concussed 6x times along the way like Trent Edwards did. Lets not forget that the team won those first two games with EJ at QB, and against Chicago they rushed 33 times for 193 yards, and only threw 22 times for 173 yards. An absolute perfect way to run the offense with a young QB starting. Then against Miami it was 33 rushes for 113 yards, and 26 passes for 202 yards, and again a near perfect way to run an offense. Then against the last 4 teams the mental midget OC has the QB throw 40 times a game while rushing only 20 times a game, and the result was 3 out of 4 losses. Then the Bills could have easily lost that game in Detroit if their kicker doesn't have a meltdown. I almost wonder if the current OC is taking bribes to throw games, or is he really this stupid? What does it say about the Bills OC when he uses the player the Bills just spent two first round picks on, and perhaps the best play making WR since Andre Reed as a decoy? Find a way to get the kid involved, reverses, fake reverses, end around runs, in the slot, screens, anything. He should be seeing the ball at the minimum 10 times a game. Last week against the Patriots 3 targets, 2 catches for 27 years. Extrapolate that out to 10 catches. Two decent top offensive guards, and the team is remarkably better at run blocking, pass blocking, and the surrounding players suddenly start playing better because they only need to worry about their own responsibilities on that line. Wood & Glenn both played so much better with Levitre next to them. A top TE, and suddenly the QB has a constant outlet besides the RB's. A great TE is a young QB's best friend. No offense to Scott Chandler, as he does make some decent catches...sometimes. He just isn't all that good a blocker, or play maker after he catches the ball. Lastly, I don't see this coaching staff or GM being retained unless they remove their heads from their posteriors asap, and the GM finds some good OG's. The Bills OC stops setting up moronic game plans, and calling for 40 passes a game, and starts to run the ball like he did against the Bears, Dolphins. Yea, its that simple.

That draft would still look significantly better had the GM replaced Andy Levitre with something other then utter garbage in Colin Brown, and bolstered the backup center position with someone better then Doug Legursky. Levitre leaving is still haunting this team two off seasons later because this FO refuses to bring in quality offensive guards. That 70 year old goober Buddy Nix has done more damage to this team then any regime in the past. Not only with bad draft selections, but with his moronic philosophy's concerning the O line. It seems you can't just flip an OT into the OG spot if he can't cut it at tackle. Offensive guards aren't exactly a dime a dozen either. Those ideas he has instilled into Whaley have screwed the team for two years now. Oh, and he is still a paid consultant with the team. Why, I don't know. EJ might still become a decent starter should the team ever decide to fix the line properly. This week it will have 3 rookies starting, and all not doing so well. What does it say about the GM/ scouting dept when the 7th rounder out performs the 2nd rounder. Better days are coming as new ownership should correct a lot of things wrong with this team. Start thinking early 90's Bills

That could very well be. I'm just guessing also after reading both their respective bios that said Terry had Sabres season tickets for a long while they lived in Buffalo, and didn't say anything about owning Bills season tickets. I do understand that he was a Detroit Lions fan growing up when he lived in Detroit. One could also infer that since they weren't aware of the fans fear of losing the team, and weren't really tuned into the past 14 years of losing history. Then she might not have been watching the Bills. Unless of course they are talking about recently, and that Buffalo at Detroit game. Either way, no matter as Kim will be the new CEO of the Buffalo Bills. 2. Kim Pegula will be making decisions Tim Graham of the Buffalo News has reported that Kim Pegula was the driving force behind the Pegulas purchasing the Buffalo Bills in many ways. Graham also said she will be making executive decisions when it comes to the Bills. How much of a boost would it be for NFL's image right now to add a minority, female owner who will make executive decisions? (Kim Pegula)— Tim Graham (@ByTimGraham) September 8, 2014 And in that same link : 3. The Sabres are Terry Pegula's passion project Good stuff for Buffalo fans EDIT for link http://www.syracuse....bio_who_is.html

Rightly so Astro. Chandler led the team in receptions in 2013, and would catch more if thrown more to him. Or if the team game planned more around him. The problem is he can't block every well, and runs like molasses in January. Then he falls down at the sight of a tackler. So yes, a better TE is needed, kinda like the way the Patriots keep trying to get better TE's. Gronk is almost unstoppable with a LBer or DB on him. The Bills currently don't even have a viable starting OG on the roster between Pears, Urbik and Richardson. No offense to Richardson but 5th round OG's are usually developmental players that may take awhile to become a starter. Thrown into the fire like he has been may or may not be a good way to learn. We will see at the end of the season. How on earth will we know if EJ or any other QB will be able to be properly developed behind the worst ranked line in the NFL. We won't, and we will just keep chasing our tail on QB's until the line grades out as a good unit.
