I don't want to think of where we'd be now because I'll smash my laptop.
-
Wow that even beats our 15 year playoff drought record. Add it to our trophy case.
-
Now stealing him from the Chargers is another story. I'm sure he's comfortable in San Diego and has plenty of ties there. I'm rooting for the Chargers to miss the playoffs again because like I said, that would mean while he was there they went from making the playoffs 4 years straight to missing them in 4 of the past 5 seasons. If they miss out again next year that would be 1 playoff appearance in 6 years. If he thinks he has a better chance at a ring somewhere else he might consider it.
It'd also be the type of huge franchise-defining move that I could see Pegula attempting to make. It'd be the single most significant pickup of the past 20 years for the Bills, and if anyone would be willing to drop that much money on a player it'd be Pegula.
-
Regardless of what happens to Marrone, firing Whaley would be a huge mistake. He's made some pretty amazing personnel finds since he became GM.
-
Rivers is really, really good. The Chargers' struggles lately haven't been on him. I feel like he's..... maybe not overlooked by a lot of football fans but definitely under-appreciated because he hasn't had all the pieces guys like Brady and Manning and Rodgers have had to make them Superbowl contenders every year.
But just look at his career stats, and then imagine what a guy who is only 33-years-old with these stats could do with our Wide Receivers. Not to mention he's shown over and over again that he has that "leader" quality who can come back and win in a pinch.
Career completion %: 64.7
Yards-per-game: 247.4
Touchdowns: 252
Interceptions: 120
Passer Rating: 96.0
I'd pay a guy like that $25 million a year, which will probably be around the highest QB contract come 2016 anyway. There's literally no player currently on the roster that I wouldn't be willing to cut to make cap space(which we would probably have enough of anyway) to make room for Rivers. His impact on the team would far exceed anyone else we could lose.
-
I don't think that matters. The highest paid QB right now is Jay Cutler. He obviously doesn't deserve to be.
However, the Bills need a QB. More than anything. Every year they go without a playoff appearance the need for a real QB becomes bigger and bigger. If there's a QB of Rivers' talent that hits FA and you're the Bills, you pay him whatever he wants IF you can even get him. Why? because the Bills would probably be a Superbowl contender, or at least a sure playoff team every year with him.
Or we can just keep doing what we've been doing since Jim Kelly retired in 1996 since we wouldn't want to overspend on a QB.
-
That's fine. Hopefully the people spending the money disagree with you.
-
Unless they give him a contract extension this offseason....
CBF
That's if he accepts one. They've gone from a perennial playoff team to a team to a team that will have missed the playoffs for 4 of the past 5 seasons(if they miss this year). It's not crazy to think he might want a change.
-
All we need is a QB. Hackett, Marrone, Whaley, everyone would be doing fine with a good QB.
You guys are going to have to listen to me rally EVERY SINGLE DAY for them to pay whatever they have to to steal Phillip Rivers away from the Chargers when he becomes an FA in 2016. It's the only solution.
-
I wonder how long it's been since a team did that horrendously on the ground? Which embarrassing record did we set this time?
-
Maybe he'd get the ball more if he didn't slip and fall every time he had it.
-
13 total yards rushing against a 2-12 team is an absolute embarrassment. The entire offensive line should be sat down and spoken to by Pegula himself.
-
Step 1. Go with Orton or EJ next season. We might be able to squeak into the playoffs.
Step 2. Sign Phillip Rivers to the largest QB contract in the NFL to lure him away from SD when he becomes an FA in 2016.
Step 3. Win Superbowls.
-
Welp, they're probably going to expand the playoffs next season so we'll probably make it in a watered down version of the playoffs. Figures.
-
Probably when they can get more than 13 rushing yards in one of the most critical games of a season.
-
dude get over it, do you really want to see them get pasted by the Pasties or do you want to see them beat down our Nemesis?
I won't be watching the game so I don't really care.
-
can't go out with our tails between our legs
no ,they need fight back and not be the same old Bills
Stupid Hackett !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You mean the same old Bills that blow their playoff chances with a loss to one of the worst teams in the league? Come on man.
-
Dude they had 13 yards rushing. I don't even have to look at the stats to know that we set another embarrassing record. Probably the lowest rushing yards in a game in a full decade.
We don't "have" to beat the Pats. In fact, I hope they get crushed and some changes will be made. Today was embarassing. This team deserves to feel the weight of that embarrassment.
-
Who cares about next week? Even if they lose it'll be the best record they've had in years, and losing will get them a better draft pick.
If they wanted us to care about week 17 they should have won today.
-
That good news is little consolation for me tonight unfortunately. But luckily I have 9 months to get over it.
-
The Raiders have played really good defense the past 4 weeks. Like, really good.
But we still should have been better.
-
The entire offense was beyond garbage today.
-
Man I didn't expect the playoffs but I was at least looking forward to a winning season
-
Steelers loss was worse. Raiders have been playing well lately. Still stings though.
15 years and counting

I have no idea where that is.
