I'm hoping that Nix is a great hire but I'm taking a wait and see attitude. BTW - need to replace illicit with elicit. Illicit means illegal.

All of a sudden I'm very depressed!

I'm taking a wait and see approach. However, I liked that he mentioned building a team through the draft and holding onto the better players by extending their contracts.

Agree that Mike Schopp is a sports radio talk show host and therefore does not have to remain objective. However, he does come across as condescending and a jerk at times towards callers. He should listen to Howard Simon and learn how he may disagree with a caller yet do it in a more diplomatic way.

The Bills are not exactly predictable. Having said that, normally the GM hires the HC and the HC hires the rest of the coaching staff. Signing free agents and playing a role, varies by team, in the draft process are usually the GM's job. Hopefully Nix hires a good HC and can evaluate good talent.

Agreed. Marty would be a good coach for a young team which the Bills are. It may not be fancy or all that exciting but Marty gets wins in the regular season. The playoffs is what kills Marty but maybe with a good OC it would work better than it has in the past. Marty tends to play too conservative i.e. not too lose come playoff time.

Campbell is awful. He has a great arm but not much else. Can you say JP Losman?

I think half the board believes you can find them in Aisle 12 at Walmart. Oh Crap! I'm in the wrong aisle!

The guy pretty much was the precursor to what ESPN does now. Highlights of all the games. He loved sports and it showed.

I hope you are right. Not another 7 - 9 season.

Mitchell is on IR and I wouldn't be surprised if he is not with the Bills next year.

The difference though is how good teams rebound from bad seasons and draft well following a bad season. Something the Bills need to figure out for a change. Every team has busts in the draft but the Steelers have drafted far better than most teams in recent years.

Indy uses the Tampa 2 with far greater talent. The Bills have many positions to fill on offense and defense. To me LB is the greatest need on defense. Need more pressure on the QB and guys to plug holes on run plays. On offense a LT and QB.

Throw out the injury part. The Bills do a horrible job at evaluating talent and where should players be taken in the draft. The Bills reach too much in the draft, bypass more talented players for lesser players, and trade up too much for a guy who is not worth it. Talent is the culprit for the Bills problems which includes the Head Coach. I'm still holding out hope for McKelvin and I think Wood will be a pretty good pro. They draft projects like Maybin instead of taking a LT like Michael Oher who is starting this year Draft guys like McGahee who was hurt plus we didn't need him because we had Travis Henry. Reach for a guy like Whitner with the 8th overall pick who the consensus said he was a late first rounder while Ngata a huge DT was still on the board They draft Mike Williams 4th overall who was a huge bust while McKinnie taken 7th overall is a starting LT for the Vikings. McKinnie apparently was a concern because of his character. There are more examples of draft blunders. They trade up to get McCargo and Poz. Two huge mistakes.

No penalty. The puck has to go over the glass. The photographers most likely wanted the hole in the glass to cut down on the glare when they take photos. Miller is a class act.

Yes. People drink soda/diet soda for the sugar/caffeine rush to wake them up. It becomes a bad habit. I'm one of them. A few months ago, I started using crystal light with water to cut down on soda. Not totally weaned off soda but getting close.

Plus he's a dumb QB. He just doesn't get it. The latest QB with a strong arm but doesn't understand the game like starting QBs.

I don't understand why a win over the Jets and Chiefs would convince you to hire Fewell. Jauron was the coach when the Bills beat the Jets earlier this year and the Chiefs just unloaded one of their better players - Larry Johnson. Plus the Bills beat the Chiefs last year. Now if Fewell beats NE and Atlanta then I'll jump on board.

Or just say no thanks and not be interviewed at all - like Cowher.

These guys are true knuckleheads. Did anyone from Miami complain about the score? These guys started the topic of "The Bills running up the score" and numerous fans called in defending the decision. The two knuckleheads then insulted caller after caller stating that the argument was illogical. Schopp is a real a$$. He insults callers and is condescending. Buffalo deserves better than this. All kinds of positive things to talk about e.g. Bills beat a division rival, Fewell gets his first win, Fitzpatrick has a nice game, two games in a row where TO is making the plays that fans have been hoping for, but no. They start it off by complaining about the Bills running up the score. The Bills won. I was there and it was nice to see the Bills come out, hang tough, and play smart, aggressive football. I know that it hurts the draft position for next year but the Bills really needed a win against a fairly decent opponent.

This just in: The second string is now 3rd string.

Was Howie Long on that team?

You are the nonsense. Say what you want about the Bills drafts and their free agent pickups BUT they did well in drafting Wood. Hopefully his injury is not as bad as it looked because this guy looks like he could be good for a long time. The guy is a rookie. Playing out these games in 2009 would have helped him and the Bills for next year. What gives you the confidence that the Bills will pick the right guy anyway whether it is a top 5 pick, a top 10 pick, or a top 15 pick anyway?

The team did play harder but is that because of Fewell or is it because Jauron is gone. I feel it is more of Jauron. He is soft and his team became soft. Time mismanagement by Fewell in the first half and at the end of the game when Jacksonville was first and goal is telling enough to me that there is a better answer out there.

Everyone should get a DVR if you don't have one. That way you can do the honey do list, take your kids to their game, do leaves, etc. Come back into the house, crack a beer and power through the commercials, halftime, ridiculously long challenges, and still catch the 4th quarter live!
