Schlereth used to wet his pants during games and thought he was putting one over on the fans. Nuff said. Rodent? He be a big dumb stupido fo sho.

Except for TD receptions their numbers actually are pretty similar the last two years, even tho Clay has fewer games played due to injury in 2014. Now that Mr Bortles will be serving it up to Julius instead of Peyton you can expect those TD numbers to go down, and probably be more in line with what Clay will do in Blo (6-8 per is my guess). And Julius can't make that block that will spring McCoy on a game winning touchdown run. Charles Clay can. And Julius can't set up in the backfield. Charles Clay can. Assuming he avoids the injury bug, we did not overpay. Charles Clay is a stud and will functionally be a centerpiece of the Bills O. This is a hugely important move and that's why they are bending over backwards to get it done.

Ranking Tevin Coleman as the #5 RB is a surprise to me. And that's going to change IMO.

Let's not forget who Ricardo Lockette is either. He's CJ Graham - an unproven track star with the hands of a backup receiver. Do you really want to put your Super Bowl hopes in the hands of CJ Graham in the thick of the action or ML, or maybe a big TE or tall receiver running a corner pattern? As Bills fans we have all seen what can happen. All time stupidest call.

I can take no solace from the disgusting dog face cheaters victory. Just saw Kraft french kissing Tom Brady. I may be tormented by sick sex nightmares forever. I hope Bevell rots in hell.

As soon as Rex was hired I was pretty sure JS was going to fold his tent. Though the Bills appeared to want JS to stay I didn't even think that made sense from a general management point of view in terms of allocating human resources and skillsets. That's one reason why I was not totally thrilled with Rex signing a long term deal with the Bills. A better combo for taking care of both sides of the ball would have been Kubiak as HC and JS as DC (not that I'm sure we could have landed Kubiak given Denvers interest). That would have left JS fully in control of the D with less probability that he would walk and with the Bills benefiting from top shelf coaches on O and on D. The D will certainly not suffer under Rex's stewardship. It is reasonable to expect it to improve given Rex's undoubted ability and the fact that many of the backers and DBs are young and still coming into their own. The line of course is one of the best, if not the best in football. Don't get me wrong I certainly like Rex Ryan. He's a player's coach and I like big affable personalities. I do have some concerns however regarding possible lack of discipline and control. I also worry a bit about neglecting the offence. Idzick was rightly criticized for poorly drafting DBs that have not panned out at a time when, for example, there was a need for receivers and a historically strong draft for them. I have to wonder how much influence Rex had in making those decisions. Idzick was never a personnel guy he was a cap expert/manager. Seems inconceivable to me that Rex did not at least have his ear.

Keep it simple. How 'bout stupid. He's a stupid man.

To me he did not go to the ground in order to make the catch.

IMO it was a catch even under the rules as written. I understand that having to maintain possession through contact with the ground is a requirement where all of the action is in the process of catching the ball. Maintaining possession in such cases is really confirmation of possession and therefore of the completion. Bryant took two steps (if not three) while fully in control of the ball - the process was complete at that point. And, in any event, he then did something that he and virtually every skill position player on offence in the league does - having possession he reached for the goal line. That is a football move that we witness a thousand times in a season and it confirms the completion.

Well we've shown with MP that we can run with Rex's scheme.Thing is we ran better with Schwartz's.

Well I sort of feel the same way, except that Rex is a great motivator and a player's coach. If he can coexist with Schwartz and bring in a solid OC it might add value after all. If Pegs is into writing lots of big cheques I'd take Kubiak on a lateral before Trestman for sure and maybe ahead of Roman too.

I thought he said he wasn't doing interviews until the Ravens were done.

And not just today. His play calls against Pittsburg were a thing of beauty.

I like Rex but we've already got a top shelf DC. I fail to see what Rex would add to the equation here. I understand why Atlanta would be interested in his talents tho. We need a specialist on the other side of the ball as HC/OC and somebody like Joe D to turn that line around.

If Whaley is pushing EJ on prospective coaches then he needs to be fired immediately.

I agree. They have to go all out to do whatever is necessary to get a serviceable QB - Hoyer, Bradford, Moore, Locker, etc...With a good HC/OC and a good O-line coach this team would seriously contend for a playoff spot in 2015. I have doubts tho concerning Whaley's ability to identify QB talent. Linebackers yes, QBs, not so much.

What makes the most sense to me is that he didn't get the control/commitment from the owner that he wanted and when that happened he chose to leave. Basically I think he was stuck in a war with Whaley and the rest of FO and scouting. I believe he thought that he had won that war and when Pegs, to Doug's surprise, refused to limit his own options, he got his nose out of joint and walked. 4 million free dollars made it easier to do. He probably had it in mind to neutralize or do an end around the FO and gain more control as early as last year before the 2014 draft. His former assistant at Cuse (Casullo) says he charts his course well in advance and I believe that. Basically it's Doug's way or the highway and this time that played out with him hitting the road.

Apparently not enuf for some folks.

A smart man doesn't draft him.

Hmmm...Jets get Marrone and Hackett. We get a 4 million dollar windfall, Marrone is out the same amount and we get a franchise QB. Me likey.

Not smart if he facilitates a tampering charge. Quite the opposite.

Hmmm...interesting. I wonder what constitutes proof for these purposes. Everybody seems to be liar capable of perjuring himself. If Woody pleads the fifth is that good enuf?

With a 10 million dollar contract in his back pocket lol.Talk about dodging a speeding bullet.

Maybe but if in fact they did tamper in privately telling DM the Jets job was his, isn't Woody between a rock and a hard place? I hope it's true and we move up to # 6. Back in the QB derby sooner than expected.
