If Byrd wants to keep his market value high, he should get back onto the field ASAP and start taking snaps in Pettine's defense.

I think it's an old picture. The limited jerseys show the toilet seat, but I bought one and it has the full (right) collar. Authentic jerseys should match what they're wearing this year.

It looks like the Panthers were jamming the middle to guard against a dive by the QB or RB, and left single coverage outside. They botched the coverage. Have to wonder if they were worried about a keeper, especially after watching EJ almost score on the previous play.

Give Marrone credit for the 2pt conversion call. It wasn't a given to go for it at that point, but in the end it was a difference between a win and overtime.

Sure, because over the last 10 years, Bills=Patriots.

That's only because they were too busy making decisions about awful veteran QBs (Edwards, Fitz, Thigpen, Young) to focus their attention on making decisions about awful QBs in the draft.

Moorman's punting average is slightly lower than his career average, so Gailey cuts him. Wannaclue's defense is putting up historically horrible numbers, and Chan says, 'nothing to see here.' And if Johnson had 30 carries instead of just 18 today, the Titans would have laid another 50 spot on the Bills.

Wouldn't you tank the season for the opportunity to pick the first cornerback in the draft next year?

It's pretty obvious that Wannstedt had more say in the defense last year than the team has admitted to. Edwards was a scapegoat last year. They fired him and continued their inept schemes and gameplans.

It should, but it won't be until the end of the season. We're quickly approaching a decade and a half of horrible football.

Nix is horrible. He needs to go.

It's going to take another 3 years to fix the QB, LB, and WR positions on this team. Nix has wasted the last three years.

The point is that other teams in the league have drafted QBs to develop, without the expectation that the guy will be their next franchise QB. I understand that Nix doesn't want to overdraft, but wouldn't be worth a 3rd rounder to see if a guy like Mallet could get his head straight? Wouldn't it be something to have a guy on the roster who could throw the ball deep, outside the numbers? Would you have liked to see that guy out there when the Bills were down by 20 in the fourth quarter, just to see if the team could develop a deep passing game? Teams can draft developmental QBs. The Texans did that in the 5th round with Yates and watched him win a playoff game for them. The Seahawks took Wilson in the 3rd and watched him beat their high-priced FA for the starting job. Do you think that the Pats felt they were drafting their franchise QB in the 6th round? Of course not, but they were following the accepted NFL practice of drafting developmental QBs in the mid to later rounds of the draft. Nix doesn't follow this practice. It's as though he believes that if he can't hit a home run with a QB pick in the draft, he's not even going to take a swing. Most other NFL GMs do not follow his approach.

Andy Dalton was a 2nd round pick. TJ Yates a fifth rounder. Mallet a 3rd rounder. John Skelton a 5th rounder. Aside from Dalton, none of these guys required an "overdraft." You wouldn't want one of these guys on the roster as a developmental prospect instead of Jackson or Thigpen? And if Nix didn't like these guys, but he likes Fitz, I have to wonder, what the hell is wrong with Nix?
