DLH 9

Forget any talk about any playoff scenarios. This is the only game that matters. Nothing that came before and anything later simply does not matter. Buffalo NEEDS to stay completely focused on the game at hand. This is where Belichik is a master; keeping his team focused on the game at hand. I am not a big fan of Rex, but if he can keep the team completely focused on the here and now and the team they are about to play, we can win. I don't care about any other game right now; it is ALL about Jacksonville. Focus also means we need to keep discipline and NOT take so many stupid penalties. This has been a great improvement this year over the last few, but I fear of sliding back into old bad habits. C'mon Rex; keep the team focused and poised and they will do what needs to be done; WIN! We could have ran away with last weeks game, but our own mistakes held us back and kept Cincy in the game. We have to take care of our business first, and thinking ahead does not help that. Get to Bortles, shut down the outside passes, minimize penalties. Go BILLS!!

Addiction is a hell of a thing to deal with. It doesn't matter what is in front of you, if you don't deal with the past and present you won't move forward. Really feel bad for his DISEASE causing him so much loss; especially for his child. Opportunity lost; he will have so much regret. Can only send a prayer. Really was looking forward to seeing this guy blossom for us in the NFL; a hidden gem we found that just didn't last.

Um, excuse me... Why were we carrying 4 running backs on our roster? Plus a FB too? This has a lot to do with the inactives Marrone was playing. I am sure he would have tooled things differently, one roster spot can change the game plan design on any given Sunday. Who really has the power there?

There is nothing as a no-name average person that I value more than my privacy. I think everyone feels the same, especially those in the public eye. It is no wonder they live in gated communities with the prying eyes and blogs of fans constantly dissecting their lives. I consider myself a fan of football and the Buffalo Bills, not the macabre. Just like we demand discipline and effort from our players, I feel we need to hold ourselves to a higher standard as well, most especially when it is something that is non-football related, is personal and has no legal implications whatsoever that may affect OUR team. I totally understand the curiosity, we all do. But some things demand the maturity to let it go and accept people for who and what they are. Thank you Cordy for great effort and I pray for your full health and happiness.

Can't agree with any of this. The problem is our offense, not defense. We may never have a year like we just had, regardless of whether we have the same personnel or not. There will be natural turnover here, the question is how much can we afford to pay and still have resources for the other side of the ball. Signing a high profile QB is not going to be cheap, neither will be resigning Dareus and Gilmore... If we are smart I say we lock them up with long term before going after a DE that just made a stellar, and thereby expensive, name for himself.

Love Hughes, but this is a business.m we have a lot of home grown talent coming to contract in the next couple of years. Can we afford to lock up Hughes with our horizon full of fat contracts? With so much money tied up in the defensive line already I am doubtful Hughes will stay here, especially with Wynn, Charles and Bryant as back ups. Next year looks to be an incredible linebacking corps with Kiko back. You have to ask just how much production will we lose if Hughes walks. Jerry earned a big contract, I am just not sure we have the room for him.

By effectively rushing 4 and dropping 7 into coverage.

Don't fix something that isn't broke. We would be looking for trouble. Keeping the front in the entire game sets us up for injury and exhaustion. I say Schwartz is smarter than all of us. Let's see what he says!

Exactly!

We can all find ourselves in a dark place. It does not require 'fault', or conscious decisions. For many it is a pattern of depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive personality... There are thousands of diagnoses's but there is only one proven cure: talking about your problems with other people, usually a therapist or trained psychologist. Other times all it takes is a good friend who can listen. Sometimes it is impossible for people to see that there is help right in front of them because they are blinded by their own personal demons. Let us all hope that this will reach a person who is in need and will hopefully let him know that people care for him and are willing and able to help. The money only says 'we care about your life'. You have so much more to still give, Mr. Darryl Talley. Billieve that your best memories are ahead of you.

I would never give up another first round pick to move up a few marginal positions. The specter of injury is the wildcard that neutralizes such a deal; a bad knee hit and the mortgage on the team goes out the window. When you look at the scarcity of Tight Ends in the league right now, you wonder if that could have been a direction to go. Our TE's have missed a couple of easy passes... I love Chandler but who else can catch a pass on the TE corps? Sammy is the real deal, and with health will pay dividends again and again, however I am left to wonder about the depth on our bench AFTER next year when we are missing that marquis pick. Let's win out and make that pick a low, low pick! 11-5! Go BILLS!!
