Unfortunately, this is the type of nagging injury that doesn't always get good results from surgery and could be a career ender. I hope that's not the case, but if it's true this is his 3rd surgery that does not bode well at all. RTB

This is a tough one. The Bills really had no leverage at all because I do think AS was willing to retire if it came to that. How many of you would show up for work, collect 2 million just for arriving, then get fired soon after? I would. That's the leverage AS had. There is absolutely no loyalty from teams to players or players to teams anymore and I think this is where many of us get our ire up. AS worked the system to his advantage, all the more power to him. The only thing the Bills could have done was force a disgruntled player to show up, pay him, watch him half-ass it and poison a locker room where a new regime is trying to change e culture of losing. AS was a solid DE for us but because he was horrendously overpaid, he will always be looked at as over rated. I don't care that he had the second most sacks in franchise history. The one thing you could always count on was when the game was on the line or when a defensive play needed to be made for momentum purposes, Aaron Schobel would disappear and never be the one to make that play. That was his biggest failing as a player. RTB

FTA: "During the team's offseason program, Williams served as a mentor to rookie left tackle Trent Williams" What kind of advice could this douche possibly provide to a rookie tackle? How to suck? How to maintain blood flow to your brain if you don't have a heart? How to steal millions from a team without even trying? He's at risk for pulmonary embolism from blood clots in his legs because he was a fat marshmallow. It's manageable and he'll be ok. Now he can go out on the NFL's disability policy and rape the system for even more money. Gutless, heartless POS. RTB

As a long suffering proponent of this strategy, I have to say I'm happy so far with the direction Nix is taking us. RTB

What a refreshing amount of non-BS to come from a GM. He may be blowing smoke up out asses but at least he didn't break out the old "he was the exact player we wanted and targeted from the day I became GM blah blah blah..." He basically acknowledged the Bills would listen to any offers, and who they take/took depends on how the board falls. I don't know jack about running a draft but that sounds like a very reasonable strategy to me. I'm not sold on Nix/Chan but he seems like a straight shooter. RTB

Oh please Ralph didn't keep the team in Buffalo out of loyalty. Where else can you find lemmings like us who consistently sell out a huge stadium and spend thousands of our hard earned ducats on such a piece of shiat product on the field? Ralph may shiat his pants but the man is a frickin genius. RTB P.S. LT in Round 2

We already had a guy with lots of talent and absolutely no heart. His name was Mike Williams. No thank you on this guy. RTB

I'm glad he didn't end up in NE. Welker isn't coming back and Moss is in retirement mode. RTB

It doesn't matter how good you are or how much potential you have if you can't stay on the field. RTB

It's amazing how a guy's draft position really effects how we think of their performance. It's all relative I guess. Donte is an average but certainly not spectacular safety. The fact he was taken 8th overall just poisons our perception of him. I wouldn't be surprised if he went someplace and played fairly well but he certainly has not performed anywhere near what we expected of him. RTB

Stay strong bro, get well soon. RTB

I never really thought we could grab Shanahan or Cowher. I thought Billick would be a solid candidate, but the geniuses at OBD aren't even considering him. The only assistant I am interested in is Grimm, because at least he will bring a toughness and attitude that this team has been lacking for a decade. I like how Pittsburgh plays as a team and maybe he can bring some of that here. The fact that we have coordinators and a college coach declining to even interview makes me realize the depths to which this once proud franchise has fallen is even deeper and more pathetic than I ever could have imagined. I hope Grimm interviews and is offered the job. My gut is telling me Frazier will be here though, by default.

You make some good points there about the NE system being designed by Weiss, and Cassel did suck once he left it. I'm a little biased because I think Weiss is an absolute douchebag for stuff outside of football, and I thought he was a horrible head coach at ND. I know a few people who saved that fat asses life after his gastric bypass, he sued them all and lost. I want a head coach who will instill a sense of pride and toughness in our team. From that perspective, I think Cowher, Billick, and Grimm would make good candidates. RTB

There is no way I want Charlie Weiss around here. He absolutely sucked at ND and was the beneficiary of having a first ballot hall of fame QB at NE. I have seen nothing that says he can coach. If you are looking for experience, obviously Cowher is the #1 choice for a lot of reasons, but I highly doubt we get him. Billick I think would be an interesting hire. I think we should take a good, long look at Grimm though. RTB

Some of you people have to be absolutely farking crazy if you thought this guy played like crap. When is the last time you saw one of our guards consistantly get to the second level? Incognito was better than Levitre or Wood (I know they are rookies and getting better) at blocking off the line, releasing that block and getting on another to spring our RB for more yards. I haven't seen a guard here do that since Rueben Brown. I do agree his pass blocking needs improvement. For a guy who showed up 3 days ago and was thrown in the starting line-up, he did a very solid job. RTB

It never ceases to amaze me how desperate some Bills fans are to grasp at any straw because our team is so pathetic. Perry Fewell as a head coach?? My god people, just because he has a pulse where Jauron had none doesn't mean he is head coaching material. His defenses have repeatedly collapsed in the fourth quarter with the game on the line since he's been here. I'm sorry but he's an average DC at best. I'll give him that only because he doesn't have a lot of depth to work with. I'll echo what many have said: We need a real GM. A football guy who will clean house from top to bottom, especially in the personel department. The coaching search is secondary. Fewell sucks and so does 80% of the players on this team. It's going to take more than a head coaching change to make winners out of this franchise that doesn't deserve to represent the city of Buffalo and hasn't for the past 10 years. RTB

My god who cares! Kudos to Bud for showing the whole nation what most of us think of our **** team. Maybe we need more of this, being mocked by a pathetic 86 year old douche bag, to light a fire under someone, ANYONE, in this organization. I hope Ralph saw it, and I hope it found some little area in his demented old brain to get pissed enough to realize maybe, just MAYBE, we need a FOOTBALL guy to turn things around so we aren't seen as the pitiful franchise we've become. RTB

I don't blame TO one bit. Edwards is fu**ing awful. Perfect ending for this team, its fitting. Losers. RTB

He should be fired before he leaves the field.

It says something about how pathetic our team and coaching is that we can take a talent like T.O., who still has it, and make him look like a practice squad player. Other teams' scrubs look like superstars against us. We take stars and make them look like scrubs. Absolutely disgusting. Blow the whole thing up, starting with Brandon, and start over with a football guy in charge. RTB

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is the political pressure that can come to bear on the NFL. For whatever reason, Chuck Schumer has been very vocal in his opposition to the only NY team moving out of Buffalo. Chuck can and has brought up the specter of revisiting "anti-trust" and "fair competition" hearings which the NFL wants no part of. It's all political BS, and no one really knows how strong Chuck really feels or will push if it comes down to it, but don't discount the power one senator can have on this issue. They all may be douche bags but they do wield some power. RTB

This entire franchise is a joke and embarrassment to our city, fans, and the league. Ralph needs to get out of the picture and we need an owner who will actually hire a football guy to run the operations. We haven't even started the rebuilding process yet and its 10 years without playoffs. God awful on every level.

Collinsworth was pretty on with his comments about the Steelers O-line, the Tenn. D-line only rushing 4 and not generating pressure (which cost them the game), and the Steelers being poor on 3rd and short which you wouldn't expect from a power running team. He definitely had Ben's sack in his mouth the whole game, and was over critical of Ward on the fumble (he should have just said he's a veteran receiver and should know to protect the ball better in critical situations). The most annoying thing was when he anointed Palamalu to the pro-bowl after 2 defensive series and then Troy proceeded to get 2 or 3 penalties and then got hurt. Palamalu is a great safety but he was way too quick to stroke him too. RTB

Wow that was a tremendous piece of bull$ht. You're certainly willing to drink the kool-aid OBD has been serving for the past 10 years. This team is an absolute and utter embarrassment to the fans, the NFL, and the city of Buffalo. The desperation and complete incompetence on every level of this "franchise" is palpable. We are right there with the Lions, Cinci, and Raiders as the jokes of the NFL. Keep dreaming. Until Ralph is dead or sells the team we will continue our descent to the bottom because we aren't even there yet. Things are going to get worse if that's possible. Jauron is gone by week 4. Until the Bills make the playoffs I'm not listening to one thing that comes out of OBD. It's all crap. RTB

This team isn't good enough to half-ass it during the pre-season and then turn it on during the regular season. I'm sure there are a number of plays we haven't seen, but the offensive philosophy won't be much different. The simply fact is we have average talent with a below average coaching staff. That equals no playoffs. Until we have a new owner, nothing will change. RTB
