They're now stating that it was Victoria Jackson of SNL in an effort to entertain the fans, and that she is bringing Toonces the driving cat in as the OC.

You got your record messed up. The wins go on the left.

I agree with bills44, I'm fairly certain even the rats have abandoned this garbage barge by now.

Probably looking to keep some younger guys with promise as opposed to older stop-gap players. May also mean that both Ellis and Bryan make it, and we rely more on our defense than an offense that is unlikely to get much help from a few fringe players. Looking long term season, instead of short term first 3 games.

To those who have said they feel blase' about the start of the season, I envy you the lack of interest. Personally, I'm P*SS#D. Count me among those who were hoping the offense looked so bad because they were using preseason to work on the things they did poorly and running a base scheme. While I agree the move needed to be made, and is likely a harbinger of a mid-season coaching change, I'm DISGUSTED with the fact that this SHOULD have been avoided by not retaining this staff in the first place. This, to me, is an admission that this is a wasted season BEFORE IT EVEN STARTS!!! If this is the case, they should write off the season RIGHT NOW, clean house, and start anew, before other teams start the same process and the coaching pool thins. They've already sold a record number of season tickets, so it won't hurt them at the gate. Write it off now, and it gives a new staff essentially an entire season of evaluation because there will be no expectations. We'd rejoice with the 2-3 wins, and get drunk during the losses, but there might be optimism for next season. I feel like the moves are inevitable... why drive that point home further with a lame duck staff and waste more time in the process!

This is not meant as an excuse for our offensive futility. There are clearly problems. Magnifying these problems, however, is the fact that the Bills have played some pretty good defenses thus far. In 12 games, the defenses we've faced have given up a total of 10 points in the first quarter of those games. The Bills ineptitude has certainly padded that, but those are only four of the 12 quarters. The Steelers, Packers, and Bears combined have given up a total of 25 points in the first halves that they've played. That averages out to just over 6 points a game for those defenses if they were to keep that pace. I'm only using the first halves, as that likely covers first and second string for the preseason games. Hopefully seeing some stout defenses up front wake them up and allow them to find a way of fixing things early on. I know it's not much, but it is something to consider before stepping off of the ledge.

Personally, I think the reason they didn't draft a LT this year was because they felt they had potential on the roster already in Bell (and honestly, all you get from the draft is potential) and he would be manning the blind side at some point in the future. I think the Walker move was meant to be temporary, as he did an adequate job filling in last year. When the time is right, Walker moves back to RT and they figure out the rest of the pieces by how they're playing at the time. I don't think he was ever meant to be the long term solution at LT, and his apparent ambivalence about the move to me makes this scenario more likely.

Somehow I doubt a better feed would make this game look better...

Edwards numbers for the games you initially referred to add up to an average QB rating of 102.5 with 8 TDs vs 2 INTs, and an average completion percentage of 70.2. He had two fumbles recovered by the opponent. This was admittedly against what turned out to be poor teams, but hardly sloppy. I would take those numbers averaged out for an entire season.
