Nix has said publically this team has the talent to win. If they do not and barring some catastophic injury situation that can be used as an excuse, then the coaches must be changed or he loses his job. When they are eliminated from the playoffs and if RW is still alive, he will have to have some plan for the off-season.

Was he too young and brash in the 1990's to keep Polian????

Please forgive any speeling errors... Chan Gailey Jon Gruden Jay Gruden Brian Billick Rex Ryan Rob Ryan Jim Tressel Marty Schottenheimer Tony Dungy I did not include "the chin" because I don't see any possibility of him coming to Buffalo. He will be in Dallas next year. Please add your nominee... I will go on the record and say it will be Jay Gruden. His dad will not be lured away from TV and Cincinnati may be one of the few worse franchises to work for in the NFL.

We will hear the truth that we go beat physically. Asking four DL and one LB to stop the run just doesn't work in the NFL no matter how much money you spend on the DL. We will not hear Wanny is being relieved of his play calling duties. We will not hear the stupid excuses of the defense not getting their "fits" correct. As above he will say they just beat the tar out of the defense. We will hear him say Fitz did some good and bad things. We will hear they need more consistency but offer no solutions of how to be more consistent. We will hear Urbik is 2-3 weeks, Glenn is high ankle and 6-8 weeks but not IR, Byrd, Spiller, and Chandler will be OK. We will not hear him admit fault for having a guy with a bum shoulder run into the line on the goal line. We will hear some excuse why blitzing is bad and dropping 7 while still giving up 600 yards and 100 points in two divisional games is the right way. We will not hear why it is a good idea to carry 4 QB's. We will not hear Graham is moving to the starting line up even though he is the only WR that can get deep.

CJ ran tentative today. Choice was the guy who should have been on the field right before the half.

What was the injury?

Horrible scheme. No he doesn't get doubled all the time but there are plenty of times he does. Wanny only wants to generate pressure with stunts. Why not bring a safety or an OLB from the same side as Mario???

Fitz made some awful throws but he made some great throws as well. This game is all on Wanny, the D, and Gailey.

The stellar announcers never mentioned Searcy playing for Byrd. He looked ok on the sideline.

Win two on the road. Alex Smith is not Tom Brady folks. Our D will be much better. They have no outside threat and we will play out of the 4-3 base more. We defend the Wildcat well which San Fran runs a little. Watch out Kaprnick doesn't throw out of the pistol this week. Arizona has a great D but Kolb is garabge. We can win a slugfest there two. The problem is tie-breakers and AFC losses. I don't think they can lose again against AFC opponents and make the playoffs. The Texans game may be a must win.

Rhinehart and Hairston aren't that far off from Glenn and Urbik. The line will be ok.

Very bad coaching decision. I thought a screen pass to Spiller on 2-10 was the call to make but they still made the third down conversion. After that it should have been Freddie or Choice over the left side three times in a row. The worst outcome should have been a FG.

I said it before the season started, Wanny and the LB's were going to be the biggest liability for this team. Wanny is just old and broken down. Other teams routinely send safeties or DB's and bring odd man rushes from all over the place all while playing a base 4-3. Horrible. Absolutely horrible.

Were you confident the Bills would beat Miami in the early 1990's?

Jeter is on the juice...He was finished three yeras ago and now at age 38 he is playing better than he did when he was in his early 30's...even HOF players don't age this well...

Listing Brady - Shoulder Probable is a lot different than Mankins missing practice three days in a row. Yes guys can miss practice and play on Sunday. Didn't Stevie do that several times last year with his groin? But I think there is little doubt Mankins is hurting. I hope them being thin on o-line forces Gronk to stay in and block. Look for them to line him up as an H-back and be able to double KW or MD. I think they will take their chances with Mario one on one with the RT and trusting Brady to get the ball out quickly. Desperately need our young DB's to have a decent game. Ok to give up some catches but just don't get beat over the top when the Pats go max protect. That would be a killer.

Run defense looks excellent. When was the last time that could be said. I think everyone expected the entire line to improve with Mario. If we make the playoffs and he has 8 sacks and KW has 11 and makes the ProBowl I coudl care less. I would rather teams focus on stopping him and then let KW and MD destroy the pocket and not let the QB step up. Down goes Brady. Down goes Brady. Don't care who it is...

Tying this together with another thread, too bad Poz isn't here anymore to run into the guard and get stoned on contact

Please refer to the career of Hatoli Ngata regarding the Whitner pick. Then remember the Bills gave up a third round pick to move up and draft Poz. Horrible. Absolutley horrible.

Can someone, anyone explain or give some information on how this guy got to be a headcoach, a headcoach that an orginaztion gave up draft picks for, and now is a commentator for ESPN??? How does he interview for a job and someone come out of that interview sayign this is our guy to lead our football team? This is the guy on want on camera representing our brand name. It has to be naked pics of someone..has to be...

Probably disappointed that CJ will be able to play and that means FJ won't start again in this league. Agreed. I think we all looked at CJ carted off and feared the worst. I think he was more mentally hurt than physically. I think he plays with a shot of cortisone/lidocaine before the game. It's unlikely he can make the shoulder any worse. I doubt the same can be said for FJ. If FJ comes back too soon I suspect he could reinjure the knee. And of course there is the Wilfork falling into his knee trick that they will have to worry about.

CNN reports a deal is done at 8:55PM PST

No it isn't. He already has lost it. No way a healthy Spiller sits in favor of FJ.

Agree with other posters, I'm more concerned - worried is too strong - about the placekick holding duties than the punting.
