Check their egos? Who's in charge? The statement from Gailey should be, if hired, Wannstedt is the new DC and anyone not on board is fired!

The Bills draft #3. You have Bowers, Dareus & Fairley. Unless one team can select two players with one pick, I don't see how your scenario plays out.

RW doesn't have a reputation($$$) for allowing his head coaches to hire big name coordinators. I'd be surprised if Wannstedt ended up here. Most of Gailey's asst. coaches were probably brought on due to a lack of large coaching budget.

Exactly. Every time time they are on TV, it seems like they have another uniform combination with one being worse than the next.

It would be cool if TWC still wasn't sticking it up my ass years later by not coming to an agreement with the NFL Network. I know it's not their fault.

While hiring Cooter was a mistake, it doesn't matter one bit in terms of the big picture. Until this team has a new owner and guys like Littman, Overdorf and Modrak are shown the door, nothing will change...NOTHING.

The NFLPA wants it both ways...ridiculous rookie contracts(especially those in the top half of the 1st round) and more money for the vets(higher salary cap, lower floor). I don't care how much money the owners are making, they call the shots. If the players don't like it, walk away from the NFL and see what their other options are.

Question 5...How will a big NFL contract effect the answers to the above questions?

Pick a defense and stick with it! It was bad enough they switched to a 3-4 this year after not finding enough players in FA and the draft to switch, now they are already saying they will go with a 3-4 and a 4-3 in 2011? How many offseasons does it take to put together an adequate 3-4 defense...where you can at least say this is our primary formation? All Cooter & Co. had to do was go to a conventional 4-3, dumping Jauron's love of 220 lb LB'ers and 240 lb DE's and they would have been a hell of a lot better off than this train wreck of a defense they fielded in 2010.

Does anyone really have any belief that the Bills will attempt to trade down, when they sent their picks up to the podium in record breaking time last year? Spiller and other early picks would have been there when the clock ticked down to zero, but Nix seemed to think he was competing with several other teams at the exact same time. Bring on the Whaley era. The sooner the better.

Above average, IMPACT players lead to more wins. Except for Kyle Williams, I can't name one Bills player who comes close to fitting that description. The defensive front 7 is a joke and the OL is not much better. Whatever happened to "even a blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes"? This front office can't get out of their own way!

...except that Smith was #1 overall, not #3.

So if you don't act like a moron after scoring a TD, that means you are not playing with passion?

Based on what? Does every player continue to get better as they get older? There is nothing in Whitner's play over the last few years to suggest that he is getting significantly better, let alone getting better to the point where he will end up in the Pro Bowl. He is still the same Whitner who is a liability in pass coverage and takes bad tackling angles.

Here are the 2009 numbers for all safeties... http://content.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/salaries/playersbyposition.aspx?pos=152

If the Bills are really offering Whitner $5 mil per season, he should sign it ASAP and never look back. When he says that he is a Top-5 DB, does he mean SS or SS, FS and CB's? Either way he is NOT Top 5.

I just hope the year hanging around T.O. has not put Johnson on the path to "It's all about me", where he becomes more of a distraction to the team, than anything else. Not only have we seen the touchdown celebrations, but he has also done some lesser gesturing even after a catch. Please don't be two faced and say "let him play the game, the NFL stands for No Fun League", blah, blah ,blah. He is the type of player with his on and off the field(twitter) shenanigans that most of you would hate if he was on another team and would be proclaiming..."He should act like he has been there before"!

Does it really matter if some writer who puts together a "power ranking" with about 5 minutes of thought, has us ranked 27th instead of 24th. Would it even matter if he ranked us #1?

We also have this level of scum in Buffalo... http://www.buffalonews.com/city/communities/buffalo/article289973.ece

Petition to have the QB keep his beard...Just another sign of how bad the last decade really was.

The biggest problem with going to the 3-4 this past off-season, is that they took the best player on defense by a country mile(Kyle Williams), and played him out of position. The 2nd biggest problem...not having a single player on the roster to play OLB in a 3-4. I am not sure if the move to a 3-4 was the DC's, Gailey or a joint decision, but it was doomed to fail from day 1 of training camp.

I would have loved it, if that punk Jackson had tripped and fell down at the 1 yard line as he was running parallel with the goal line. I wouldn't be surprised if he was completely unaware of the clock situation and was doing exactly what you said...showboating.
