I have zero interest in Cardale. Mr "Why do I have to got to class? I came here to play football, not play school". Seriously? This kid would be off my list for that attitude alone.

Good Analysis on Hackenberg http://www.battleredblog.com/2016/1/27/10842470/the-film-room-christian-hackenberg-2016-scouting-report-texans-bill-obrien

I was rooting for Seattle...only because of Freddy! Oh well. So much for that.

How about trading Shady McCoy for Kiko Alonzo?

Well...lets see...where else can you hunt deer in your backyard?

Okay...so the NFL website is bunk. It hasn't been updated since 2007! Why would you need updated numbers?! http://www.nfl.com/history/randf/records/team/penalties Wikipedia says the seahawks hold the record for penalty yards 1,415 in 2013, and the Raiders had 163 penalties in 2011. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_National_Football_League_records_%28team%29#Penalties Still....there is a chance!

#Werenumber1 Did some digging. According to the NFL.com, here are the records for team penalties in a season Most Penalties: 158 (1998 Chiefs) - 9.9 penalties per game Most Penalty Yards: 1,304 yards (1998 Chiefs) - 81.5 yards/game Current Bills Stats 124 Penalties (9.5/game) 1,086 yards (83.5/game) So if the bills only need 11.3 penalties per game to break the all time most penalized team. And they only need 218 penalty yards (72.7/game) to break the all time yardage penalty. We've acheved 70+ yards penalized 8 times this season. Wow.

I know..I belive its over as much as everyone else...BUT....just for fun...do this. Go here: http://espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/machine Select "Power Rankings" as the default W/L. Set the Bills to beat the Jets (We are favored for all other games) Then...make the Steelers Lose to either the Ravens or Browns. This results in the bills in the Playoffs. As horrible as it seems right now, if the bills win out, I think they have a 50/50 shot at making the playoffs. Thats a big IF, but not big enough for me to give up hope...yet...

SAM FICKEN http://onwardstate.com/2015/10/05/dotd-sam-ficken-nails-65-yard-field-goal-is-still-somehow-a-free-agent/

And Sammy and McCoy got up limping a few times as well. Oh and Godwin.

Why Bungles??? Also, need indy to lose. would hate for indy/houston to join the WC mix

Oh, and he is also Doug Marrones best friend (no joke), so dont think he is beyond up and quitting his head coach job!!! http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Doug-Marrone--Bill-OBrien-Old-friends-reunite-for-first-NFL-meeting/75cbdeee-4da0-4984-8481-cab135ec3e2c

Somewhat...but he really hated dealing with boosters, and all the Alumni events he had to do.

Its BS. He hated the college game. Its also his MO for leverage. Not that he has any right now.

...you might want to check the schedule again

The fact he didn't declare last year when he was a top pick makes me laugh.

I think I would throw Oakland in there as well, but Miami (1-3), Baltimore (1-4) and KC (1-4) were all supposed to be contenders, but are really hurting. Things are shaping up our way, despite our performance. We should beat Jags, Dolfins, Texans and Redskins. If we split with the Jets, and pick up one of Cowboys/Eagles/Chiefs, we wind up at 9-7, and probably make the playoffs. I am writing off the Pats and Bengals...but a win over either would be HUGE.

Good start, but Sammy Hurt, McCoy hurt, Miller hurt, and Taylor limping...not good.

Hopefully not. when it comes to spinal cord injuries, the worse they "look" doesnt equate to how bad they actually are.

Lets see if Hack can show something tonight...

I am so torn on this kid. I have been signing his praises for years, but I am starting to wonder. I still think he has the talent to be a franchise NFL QB. But he is getting SMOKED. I mean when this happens on a consistent basis: http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2015/9/5/9267073/temple-penn-state-sackhow are you supposed to be able to judge the QB? He got sacked 10 times vs temple. Maybe 2 of them were his fault. But he is playing so flustered because of the OL, that its hard to determine whether or not he could put it all together if he was playing behind a semi-competent line. His reads seem off. He is rushing throws, the running game has been abysmal. How much of that is him, and how much of that is systematic...I dont know. And I have no idea what is going on in his head after enduring this type of awful situation for the last 14 games. Thats probably my biggest concern. When he gets to the next level, can he put that all behind him, or is he eternally scarred by being sacked 52 times in the last 15 games (Those are Drew Bledsoe 2002 numbers!) Me, personally, if I am whaley, I look at him at the end of the first round, and if he is there in the second I grab him in an instant (assuming the Tyrod experiment goes as I think it will). But there is a lot of football left. My god. http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2015/9/5/9267073/temple-penn-state-sack. That is just pathetic! I agree at this point I dont see him as a 1st rounder anymore, which is potentially great news for someone.

DT Devon Still

Right. I am sure his agent doesnt know what he is worth...

I dont think so. It would take away rivalries. If you are batteling the same teams Year in and Year out, you build up a hatred for those teams. If everyone is in the same mix, you can say goodbye to non-geographical rivalries. Think about us. We wouldnt care about beating the patriots nearly as much as we do. We are fighting for that last playoff spot, and the patriots are probably going to get one anyway. Look at us and the colts. Do you honestly care about them AT ALL since they left the AFC East? Probably not (Side note, how pissed would we be if Brady AND Manning AND Luck have been in our division the last 10 years...while we had Johnson/Losman/Edwards/Manuel?). I think the proliferation of the wild card is eroding the importance of the regular season in these sports, and frankly I dont like it. I also dont like interleague play in MLB, but maybe I am just a traditionalist. I would be in favor of one cross-league "rivalry" series each year (i.e. Nationals - Orioles, Mets-Yankees, Oakland -San Fran, etc). Those games were awesome the first year of interleague, but now they are just another game on the schedule because it happens too often. If you are going to do anything, maybe combine the league into geographical regions. Get rid of the AFC/NFC all togheter. New East Division Bills Patriots Jets Giants Eagles Steelers Ravens Redskins New West Division Raiders Chargers Cardinals Broncos Seahawks 49ers Chiefs Titans Midwest Division Lions Bears Packers Rams Vikings Bengals Browns Colts South Division Texans Falcons Panthers Buccaneers Cowboys Jaguars Dolphins Saints Ahh yes... I could go for that... Top 2 in each division go to the playoffs. Natural rivalries all around. Play every team in division once, and 3 teams from every other division each year. This whole thing gets better if the Jaguars or the Rams actually move to the West Division. I dont like having the Chiefs and Titans in the west...but I cant make it any better.
