Well, interesting discussion here. I thought the Landry hit on A Williams was vicious....and unnecessary. He enjoyed getting into AW that way. Was disappointed that no Bill took after him that day...but, this isn't High School, its a money game. And, I don't expect any illegal hits on Landry this time around either. However, these players, some of whom hit hard in the course of the game, do extend "professional courtesy" to one another during the game when they so choose. When the receiver is down not by contact, they will tap him on the shoulder and , then, the receiver is down. I would wish that the Bills not extend that professional courtesy to Landry...in fact, I would prefer that they legally hit him a full shot given that opportunity. Now, as discussed here, our DB's don't really have that mentality. Gilmore is playing for his next contract and will not stick his nose in anywhere. Robey-Coleman, Darby not so much either. I can't think of a real hitter back there who would do the job that I would like to see. Maybe one of the lb's, but, Alexander, Z Brown are one year rentals......don't see that mentality either there. Maybe Brandon Spikes understands what should be done......but he isn't seeing the field much these days...these Bills are still capable of winning two more....not sure they are going to take the opportunity for even a clean lick on Landry, as very deserving opponent. (for those of you old enough to remember, these Bills need a Leonard Smith type safety, a real big hitter)

Rex was a bad hire...I was disalusioned day one. His ego gets in the way and his bs is offensive to me. Having said that, he does get some things....he picked TT over EJ......and, I think Rex is correct about TT....TT will be a good, if not great, QB in this league. But, Rex is biased......to many old NY JEts picked up.....just becasue they know the intricate Ryan D......not the best players. And, to many Clemson comments as well...OK, his son goes there....but if Shaq fails to be NFL caliber player, thats on Ryan....anyhow......I won't miss him if he goes. I just can't stand going thru another decade.....of rookie ownership stumbling around. I have decided to let my season ticket participation go after more than three decades....can't stand the side show anymore.

I just wish they were a little more intelligent about what they say.....

I guess the board would say I am mixed up.....but, I want to see Ryan go....I hated the hire day 1. But, I would like to see TT stay....imho..TT still developing, and really has good tools. He isn't complete yet, but is getting better. TT will make his $20mil next year somewhere......just maybe not with the Bills. do you supposed Whaley is still pissed that his guy EJ sat the bench behind TT for two years? And, glad to see EJ finally go too. I think we have rookie owners problems right now. I am dropping my season tickets after many decades (really)...can't stand the ongoing hot mess with the bills anymore.

going to loose a few guys on one year contracts. Zach Brown likely for one......the Bills will rationalize that Ragland is that player replacement, of course, we haven't seen that....but Brown is north of 100 tackles and can cover. He will get premium dollars in the free agent market...and, the Bills will get some sort of draft choice imho. But that pick is 18 and its a long time until that replacement hits the field.

The ability to practice in snow is hampered by the CBA...the Teams are only allowed so much practice time each week. They need to install the game plan for the next week, and indoors with good conditions makes sense for that activity. there isn't an extra hour a couple of times a week to go out and run plays in the snow, sleet, rain etc. since the weeks practice allotment is used up. This is a case where the union negotiated to the players desires....and won. And, the quality of the game has suffered...as the players are less ready. We didn't get a ticket price reduction when they decided jointly to degrade the quality of the game.....its one of the reasons I am not renewing my 4 tickets next year.

I expect a stinker of a game....another 6-3 debacle....with who knows on the scoreboard as the winner. There will be two losers of this game...the Browns and the Bills.....make that three..include the fans who paid money to see this meaningless game.

Rex will not be canned during the season. Who would take over?.......ALynn is the only candidate, but , then, the Pegs face either giving the job to him.....or, discharging an acting minority HC. Al Sharpton will be up the Thruway in a heartbeat screeming on 55 about racism. Better to let A Lynn interview with other candidates....and pick the best one. I would like to see a big name...Cowher, Urban Myer, Gruden (J)...whoever. A Lynn has to much of Rex on him for my liking. the other tactic is to give Whaley the job of selection.......and, if the new coach fails, then, boot the GM and coach to the street.

I am tired of this split control. I say give Whaley the job of getting a coach he can support. If they don't produce, then, heave ho the pair. The only way to get out of this spiral of failed coaches dumped in two or three years. I am not totally buying what the media is shoveling on Rex yet......I was opposed to his hire day 1....and my view is vindicated imho......but, owners who bought his line of bull at time of hiring might continue to buy it for a while longer to try and "save" the specter of acknowledging they made a bad hire to start their ownership. time will tell....you know, Marrone went to the mat with Whaley to get Orton...and Orton was a ton better than EJ....and Rex was never a EJ guy either. Now, REX appears to want to not play Cardale......and......I see both sides. It sad to see TT developing so slowly. He missed a couple of easy ones today.......but, there were at least 3 drops that hit is receivers in the hands.

Ahhh, not so fast. He was an underachieving first round pick for the first three years here. He has done well sometimes the last two years, but is still afraid to hit....might cost him big money....I understand. He is sort of like Dion Sanders in that regard, without the interceptions. Now, he has 5 this year......and counting...but, I don't think he had 5 his first 4 years. His body of work, then, is good recently, and was very average the first three years here. I would say he will get paid big....but, I would rather keep two or three other A players around and not spend the big bucks on one position. (Z Brown, for example...on a 1 year contract) The Bills have the most free agents in the league...and some will leave just because they don't want to be part of the fiasco that is the Buffalo Bills. the Bills are serving as the minor leagues for the rest of the NFL. (btw, McKelvin returns an int for a TD today....I can't recall Gilmore ever doing that in his 5 years here)

PLeezzze.....no more EJ......worst passer the Bills have had in several decades. As a season ticket holder, I see all those long balls missing by 10 yards. EJ can throw it far, but, not accurate like TT. TT has had a few tough outings...but, I have to say, Sammy looks out of sorts and not in the right spot like a guy who was out for 8 games, and didn't practice for two months.....oh yeh....that is his situation. TT would be better with first rate receivers. Woods showed what he can do against Seattle and a couple of others. Unfortunately, he will be gone for BIG bucks after this year. TT needs receivers....and hasn't had them much this year.

On the topic of elusivity......TT is the fastest QB I have ever seen, and I have seen Mike Vick. His elusivity would be even better if he made the move to run a little quicker. the run is often there, and when he gets caught it many times because he is looking downfield to long. Bills had another guy with the physical skils like TT...Rob Johnson about 15 years ago....he held on WAY to long....TT just way to long sometimes.

The Billsl have ruined a lot of QB's in their time......don't rush Cardale into the game until they think he is ready to get a shot. I don't agree that TT cannot be the Qb of the future. I don't know what to do about the foolish contract the Bills gave him. Would not surprise me to see him play elsewhere for same money as he might not get here. Ossweiler go $18mil a year...and has shown less than TT.........TT will never be Andrew Luck....but, he might be Alex Smith

Well, TT starts until maybe the last game...which will be a preseason like Jets game. Lets give Cardale some time then. EJ...he is the past and will not be on this roster next year. (don't slam the door on your way out) Cardale may be the future.....but, so is TT. I think TT has improved this year over last, and will do it again in his 3d year as a starter. Now, the money thing is a problem....and Whaley was the guy who negotiated the Bills into this situation. (he was an EJ guy until Rex brought in a legit alternate TT) don't know how that plays out, but, TT will make 18-20 mil somewhere next year, I am not worried about him finding work. I think the Bills have to stay with him imho.

CJ's career circling the drain at this point. Nice guy, but was a bad pick for the Bills at #9 in the first round. Had his moments....but, they were to few.

The REX hire was the result of greenhorn owners....buying REX line of bull. We should have given Schwartz a chance, best D we had had in years. I know, he didn't do well as HC in Detroit, but Marv Levy was on his second gig in Buffalo....he was at KC and Montreal before coming to the Bills.

The lack of takeaways is the "feel" problem. The lack of big D plays that turn the ball over. The db's aren't catching the ball.

Well, the CBA allows this.......suspension. However, a good lawyer could drum up a pretty good case on the civil rights basis, and overturn the CBA and the NFL's policy here. Medical mj might be the right treatment for him. Perhaps an Independent Medical Opinion (IMO) should be used by the NFL in such cases. (I borrowed that term from my professional career, where a union contract I was familiar with had various roles for IMO's) I think such a standard could be fair to all concerned.

A real deep threat is important. And, with Goodwin on the other side, against the #2 cb, that might work out as well. don't target Goodwin often, but, he has had three bombs this year...he is due another. Anyhow, Sammy, when 100% needs to be a 10 -12 targets a game...and Goodwin deserves a couple of bomb shots as well.

That tackle move is not the worst idea I have ever read on this board....in fact, might be the right thing to do....best tackle against best end....but still would have to help Cordy.....as Mack has got it goinnnnn..so, they likely won't do that.......assignments switched etc etc....if they do it, we read it here first.

He showed the rest of us today what a pro is....he delivered......it wasn't easy.....but he made the big play.......got a couple of td's and a tough 2 point conversion....the 2 pt was on muscle, not speed. He is multidimensional. I used to think he was overpaid....today he earned his pay.

Actually, blame REX for this.....Harvin is one of REX's former JETS. I am tired of those retreads....REX just cannot give up on Harvin........Whaley is doing this signing because REX ask him to. You want hot water for Whaley...talk about Hogan...not one of REX;s former JETS, and expendible.

Lots of pain killers besides pot........not worth naming....but, get a script if you need it. Say, Tramadol........

Dez Bryant had the same injury....and missed the rest of that season a couple years ago. It would not surprise me at all if Sammy did not make it back on the field this year. I saw the clip on Ch 7 of his first workout....he looks no where near game condition. Not this weekend imho....and maybe not at all this year.

Yes, after watching the Cinci game, I agree, Harvin has lost a step or two. He is a burner only by reputation.
