It is obvious you dislike everything but look at the talent differential between the teams. Chan has two years in the job, that would be 8 possible games against these teams. After Sunday he will be either 2 -6 or 1- 7. He will not be 1-8. Maybe you should slow down on the postings and improve your quality? You could become a more cerebral poster? Just a thought.

Wood is on contact. If he comes back healthy we should extend him. He has Pro Bowl potential. Bell should be retained if possible. With his injuries he may be easier to retain. They should not give the job to Hairston, they should keep Bell and let them compete for it.

Of course I will be watching.

Yes. They need to make it a priority. Excellent young talent.

Excellent point on the need for stability but remember there was no free agency for part of that era. Players stayed with their teams and took the pay that was offered. O-line especially. Don't forget John Fina replacing Wilford. Mitch Ferrotte was a backup G/T. Joe Devlin (retirement) and Tim Vogler (injury) were gone before the first super bowl.

I agree. They have the cap room to keep their own. They should do that as advertised.

Fred Jackson and George Wilson appear to be strong leaders.

I agree that the drunks are worse than smokers. My biggest issue with the drunks is having to listen to their foul language. Every other word is F'in this and F'in that. I really never have a problem with them fighting or harassing me or my friends. For a joke, I timed a trip into the bathroom at the start of the 2nd half (upper deck by the exit ramp). I counted 47 F-bombs in two minutes. Almost once in every three seconds an F-bomb was dropped. Somtimes there were rapid fire F-bombs, 6 to 8 per sentence. Every one spewed by a drunken kid in his twenties. I had a good laugh but I would not have been happy with it back in the days when my kids were young and with me.

Beat the Pats* twice to reach the lofty Dick Jauron status of 7-9.

Ok hot shot. For the record and without the benefit of hindsight. Give us your picks in the upcoming draft. We are waiting?

I am not seeing it just yet. This kid was on the roster when Wood went down and they moved Levitre to center. That did not work out and they moved Urbik to center. They had two opportunites to play this kid and they did not. What I saw was a decent effort so I give him that. Lets remember the Denver defense was missing key players. We still did nothing in the red zone and nothing on short yardage situations. Yes, he is big and he has tats. . If he plays well against Wilfork then we might have something here.

Half dozen QBs since when? Come on, nobody is going to play with Brady healthy. All I know is that the drafted Cassel, developed him, won 11 games with him, and traded him for a second rounder. The Pats* made out great on the Cassel deal. Never said I would trade for any Pats QB?

I figured 8 games maximum. If we end with 6 wins (which is likely)then they underperformed to my prediction. 7 wins is about right but can they beat NE twice in one year? I never counted on the great start or the 7 game losing streak. I thought we could beat the Jets and the Phins. The worst part of this season was losing to each of them twice. We have a long road ahead and we need to get a lot bigger and tougher to win in this division. My biggest concern was Chan and Edwards' predictabilty as the season went on. Seems like other team knew what we were doing most of the time. Biggest positive was the OL. I was not impressed after camp and I was on them all season about the lack of depth. Looks like we actually found a few decent players. Next year a lot depends on if Wood is back and healthy. Biggest negative was the defense. I really hope that Buddy Nix gets off his azz and finds a few LBs for this team. He cannot go to camp with the same crew that we ended the season with. We need 4 new faces, two rookies and two veterans to stimulate some competition. What a moribund group as a whole.

We started the season with an excellent red zone record. Take away Jackson, Chandler, a legit #2 WR and you now have a problem. I think we need to find a way to use a fullback and Brad Smith more in these situations. I do not like empty backfields when inside the 5 or 10 yard line. I think it gives the defense a big advantage.

Amazing comment - but based on what? They developed Brady, then Cassels. Not many others have had a chance to play since Brady rarely gets hurts. No reason to think that Mallet will not be put into a very favorable position to succeed if and when the time comes.

If we can add a talented edge rusher (along the lines of a Von Miller) to go with Dareus and Kyle Williams we will be on our way. We actually need two OLBs so that Kelsey and Spencer Johnson never line up there again. Moats and Batten do not look like the answer. Moats could be a decent back up and ST player. Batten has been invisable lately.

Hello Bill, 1) Spencer Johnson - decent backup DE/ DT that can contribute on a rotation basis. 2) Bell - plays well when healthy. Cannot stay healthy. I see the Bills letting him walk. 3) McKelvin - fast, yes. Still question that marble inbetween his ears though. 4) Fitz - been injured in the ribs since the big hit in week 6. Story will be out after the season. 5) SJ and Nelson were getting open today. - Disagree. We have no speed at WR. None. After OLB, the WR position is the most critical to improve. 6) Another probowl level game by Levitre. - True. He is a keeper. 7) Dwan Edwards - uhh, Denver's OL made our defense look good. Edwards is a rotational DE at best. 8) CJ, - sees the field better with experience. Is learning to be patient. Has great speed, looked fantastic again. Needs more touches. 9) (break for Grateful Dead tribute) 10) Kelsay - one of our better DE's. Still not a OLB. 11) Raymer - about what you would expect from a waiver pick up. Marginal talent for the NFL. Strong leg but not consistent. 12) The entire secondary played well today. Amazing what a pass rush will do for these guys, no? - Your best comments so far. 13) Merry Christmas to all on TBD and you loved ones!!! It was nice to get an early gift from the Bills. - Merry Christmas!

Maybin was waived. We get no compensation for that. We should be able to get more than a 7th for Whitner. I am betting a fourth for Whitner and a 6th for Puz. We signed Barnett, a former #1, so that may cancel something.

Yes. I think Kush got hurt the same game as Nixon but maybe it was the following week? I was at RIT back then but still went to most of the games. I think a healthy Fergy could have given the Bills and Chuck Knox a well deserved Super Bowl. That was a fantastic Bills team with a great group of veterans and lots of young talent. I loved watching those teams and the old warriors from what I still consider a superior era of football. Maybe those teams would not beat todays teams but the game just seemed to be better back then. Cheers!

I think Von miller has been sensational this season. He gets to the QB and that is what he was hired to do. I am not sure what his game is like beyond that but he makes big impact plays getting to the QB. Dareus played a monster game and was more dominant than Miller today. Dareus and can play any postion on the line. I think he can be a force like a Deacon Jones, a Joe Greene, or a Bruce Smith (a few old names for some of you but he looks like a throwback DL to me). Dareus does everything plus he is a leader. With the right support he could lead a defense to greatness. I really think so. I am happy that he fell to us. No regrets about not getting Miller and settling for Dareus. None at all. Merry Christmas

SJBF we get our point. Colin Brown had a decent game after a very rough start. I still do no want him as my primary backup at either Cnere or Guard. Denver was just not very good today. I think we need to draft an OT, especially if we let Bell go. Week to week these guys go from studs to duds. Suceess is fleeting in the NFL.

I'm not up to speed with this issue. Still, we can keep it to football. I agree with that. Nice win. The fans deserve it. Crazy season. Wish things could have been different.

Moorman, where have you been all year?

Will you stop it with the God stuff? So the man is a devout Christian. Let him be.
