They're starting to make the Bills look good.

If we grab a QB at #3, I want him to sit behind Fitz for a year or two. Now if we get a DL or LB, he should be starting.

Have you read nothing about this guy lately? I didn't see anything that he was a good leader from his Tennessee teammates.

As I said yesterday, he has absolutely ZERO leadership qualities. I don't want him anywhere near this team.

No one ever questioned Vick's leadership abilities, with Young its a different story. VY has all the talent in the world, but absolutely no leadership qualities.

Although Arizona needs a QB bad, I don't see them trading to #1 to pick up Newton. They'll get a qb at 5 and probably even Newton there.

If this was the case, he never would have signed already. He could have waited for the season to actually end and other teams start sniffing around for free agents.

Last year fans didn't want the 4-3 here, this year they don't want the 3-4. Is there a DC out there that teaches the 6-5 or the 2-9?

Vince Young is the Anti-Fitz in the huddle. Sorry, he may have all the talent in the world, but I would not want him near this team.

Why? Because Edwards was Chan's pick for the DC position and he is not going to give up on him after one year (no matter how crappy the D was this year). If you give up on him after one year, what does that say to the new guy if his new scheme doesn't work next year? Also, your players are forever in a state of learning a new scheme and will never fully grasp it if they are changing DC's year in and year out. Are there better options out there? Without a doubt, however those other options will have a high cost and Wilson will not pay a DC as much or more than he is paying his head coach. We're stuck with Edwards for at least one more year, if there is no improvement next year (not sure how there can't be), then I would expect a change.

As much as I would like to see a new DC in town, I doubt it happens. Gailey will stick with his man for at least one more year. Also, I doubt Wilson would pay what it takes to get one of those DC's in here. They would commond about as much as Gailey is getting. Face it, we're stuck with Edwards through 2011 if not longer.

I still think we have to go defensive front seven in the first round. The Bills have given up 200 yards rushing in what, about 8 games? That's horrific, a QB is not going to fix that. If Luck is not there, and he won't be, we have to go defense.

I got an idea, why even play the game. Why not just forfeit? Why risk anyone getting hurt if you want them to throw the game.

Just keep Fitz instead of bringing in a new guy that has to learn the system. There aren't too many vets to be had out there that are better then Fitz right now. Draft a rookie and bring him along slowly, keep Fitzpatrick as our starter for another year or two.

This is how pass defensive rankings should be rated.

I want to know why everyone thinks Fitz can't be our QB for the next 5 or so years. He's having a season that is among the best ever for a Bills QB, but hardly anyone wants him for our future, only to groom the new guy. I just don't know what more anyone could ask for out of a QB that some rookie is going to be better.

The only way to beat Brady is with pressure, constant pressure. If we can somehow keep the Pats* to 24 points or less, we have a shot at winning this game. Our offense, (I can't believe I'm saying this), is better than their defense. So if they can put the pressure on Brady and throw a pick or two and make him a bit skittish, the Bills have a shot at this thing.

I agree completely with this, we're not going to beat NE, so just go out there and try to make Brady's life as miserable as possible so we can get in his head for next year.

I always love reading your weekly opinions Rich. One thing though, if you watch any other game in the NFL, nearly every QB has the "Terrible Trio" every week. It's nearly impossible to be accruate with every single throw. This includes Brady and Manning too, actually, its been all too often with Manning this year.

I hate that damn song.

Ask yourself this question. Would you rather have last year's team or this year's team? Personally, I'll take the 2010 Buffalo Bills over any of the previous 6 or 7 years teams, maybe even longer than that.

When you're a starting QB in the NFL for 20 years, you're probably going to have quite a few interceptions.

Maybe its just me, but I always thought throwing games was unethical, for whatever reason.
