This is good.

Nothing historically worse than being a Bills fan. No other team has heard "It's a (add team) thing" as much as ours has.

Haven't you heard that Rex has all the answers for defense? Plus, he'd really love having Coughlin around to tell him how to coach. Actually, that might help.

Hughes wouldn't be happy since Orapko spends much more time on IR than on the field.

More beaches in Florida.

You may well be the only one. EJ's experience was basically bad and he has little skill, such as throwing accurately and having a sense for the game, that can be developed. You don't learn those things.

We can do better.

I'd rather make the effort to hit on the right, winning coach than be tired of changing the wrong, losing coaches.

He's not or he's not supposed to be? Thank you. For a first year starter and with all the injuries and lack of discipline (drive stopping penalties) we had on offense, Taylor proved to be gold. How let's get him a solid offensive line.

Where's Joe Gibbs when you need him?

Every time I think of title of this thread and the video I crack up.

Our expectations were based on new ownership, an influx of talented players, the fact that we had a decent and exciting quarterback for the first time in years, and that we'd hired a name coach with a interesting persona. What destroyed these expectations were a significant number of injuries and a head coach who turned out to be quite overrated. The injuries were unavoidable but the coaching hire was a mistake. Any team that does not adapt itself to player strengths and utilize personnel properly, doesn't make adjustments as necessary, and remains so undisciplined that it leads the league in penalties has a coaching problem, pure and simple.

You left out the part about being another disappointment for the city of Buffalo.

Too bad the Bills didn't catch fire following the tailgates.

Ideally, Pettine should come back as DC. Wouldn't that be nice.

Free agency or lucky mid to late round draft pick. We need to fix the lines before anything else. But we do need a solid linebacker.

David Shaw would be an interesting candidate if interested. However, what may not interest him is having to work and deal with your run of the mill NFL intellect after having had the experience of coaching intelligent, stay out of trouble Stanford athletes. But money could certainly change that perspective. What it frequently comes down to is comfort level, i.e. successful college coaches working in excellent environments and basically being pampered become comfortable with that and prefer to stay put rather than move to the uncertain netherworld of the NFL or NBA. But money can talk, as it did for Steve Spurrier, for better or worse.

Most anything by Yogi.

Is there any question? If Buffalo doesn't have a Hall of Fame, the city should create one and ensure that the Pegulas are amongst the early inductees, along with Ralph Wilson and the Knox brothers.

The question really should be is Rex willing to dispose of a token defensive coordinator, step aside from calling the primary defensive shots, and bring in someone with authority to install a logical defensive scheme geared to the strengths of the players at hand? Ryan's bull headed "pound a square peg into a round hole" approach not only doesn't work but says a lot about his general deficiencies as a head coach.

Put a better offensive line in front of Taylor and keep his weapons relatively healthy and he'll progress more so than he undoubtedly will following a year as starter on a so so team. Those who continually knock him were looking for a Pro Bowl level performance from a guy who'd never previously started an NFL game. It's nonsensical.

GMs, if given money to spend, will spend it. That's not short-sighted but logical. Plus the cap, of course, places limits on how much you can spend.

Thank you.

A dome will make the drunken idiots who attend games more dignified? Or will they stay home because it's a dome? Don't think so. Actually, rowdy fans should liven things up at a dome in Buffalo. The baseball games I've attended at Toronto's dome almost made me feel like I was at a wake
