If that contract is a career killer, I'm ready for my career to be killed!

But the intrigue, mead - THE INTRIGUE! I'm only making it happen because I'm home for the holidays, gotta get my Bills game fix when I can...

I'd better start making a list I'll be in charge of nametags, if you're in charge of stromboli!

Creepy? Huge overreach in my opinion... Have you ever been around a TV style camera? One tends to notice something like that. Rex caught it out of the corner of his eye and turned his tract, then stopped to look at Mario (who looks like a freaking giant compared to Mario). And?

Just my personal belief, but *all* TBD threads should eventually devolve to a Bill Brasky-like cheers for whatever player, coach, GM or guru that is our next savior, according to us...

Can we also right the wrongs of the opener - we need name tags!

Jim Schwartz once made love to my wife and it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! TO JIM SCHWARTZ!

Question - will any of the TBD crew have 10x10 tents? I'm back in PA and mines in in VT, so I won't have mines, but I *will* have my girlfriend who might not mind a little time under a tent before a nice 3 hour soaking... At least it'll be close to 50.

I remember reading that article when we hired Schwartz and everyone thought that his Wide 9 system would ruin the Bills and he would be Wanny 2.0. Funny the difference a couple years make... IMO, he's not coming back in any capacity, though I would welcome him as DC - maybe Pegs has the $$ to make it happen. That said, he was not impressive as a HC, I'm surprised so many would want to see him in that role.

Merry Christmas crew - see some of you on Sunday!

Can the flex the game to some other 60 degree, non rainy day? Thanks Uncle Pegs!

Exactly - the last thing we need is another level of management that may spin us into some other direction that NO ONE agrees with (even if the current direction doesn't appear to be working at the moment). Loved the quote: “You can win with Tyrod if the other pieces are good,” Polian said. “If there are six or seven Pro Bowlers at other positions, you can win with Tyrod. But he’s not the quarterback of the future. He’s not Jim Kelly, and, although he doesn’t have the same track record, he’s probably comparable to Frank Reich. But he’s not 6-feet-4 like Frank Reich. He’s small and he’s going to get hurt, and he did." Tyrod isn't Jim Kelly!? Nooooo. And please, who in the league current IS comparable to Jimbo? That's what I thought...

My thoughts too. Seriously though, while I think his input could be helpful, I wonder about his age and really just generally if his advice will help in today's NFL. Bottom line is that he's giving his opinion, and while the NFL has been his business for years and years and he's had success, it doesn't mean that everything he says is right. It's still just his opinion in the end... Sounds like Pegs has been talking to him regardless and we still are where we are. Last point, can I go back and laugh at the 160 hours at $500 per hour post? You couldn't hire ME for that price and I'm only going to consult on your marketing! Per usual though, it's going to be a heck of an interesting offseason

Cleary ESPN doesn't read TBD

But maybe this just shows that EJ is really good at Defense and Tyrod is really bad at Defense? I mean the QB has to put up AND defend against points, right?

Great article (there's also another thread about it: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/183945-article-where-did-rex-go-wrong-in-his-first-season-in-bflo/) Amazing, it seems to be saying it wasn't ALL on Rex, or ALL on the players (and definitely not on Tyrod), but missteps on both sides. I don't see Rex going anywhere, so let's hope that he takes some of Chris' advice...

I know they all have to be on the same page, but hearing Mario complain about players coming on and off the field makes me shake my head a little - most of the time, he's in the game, lined up at DE. Just do your job Mario, which is to at least make a tackle... I had posted this in another thread, but Eric Wood on Rex's scheme, fwiw: http://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2015/12/eric_wood_defends_rex_ryans_defensive_scheme_against_mario_williams_comments.html

I'm not in the dance squad am I? Cause I left my pom-poms back in Vermont... And the second point is very, very true. Getting closer to committing, might just me and my girl, but looking forward to seeing the crew! Drop the Hammer, Hammer!!

BuffaloBills.com does have a splash page for NFL Ticket Exchange calling the game a "Hot Matchup"! Not that they explain why there are so many tickets on the secondary market if this matchup is so hot. Maybe they meant "hot" like a burn barrel or tire fire...

For those in the "Rex can't coach" camp, a few comments from Eric Wood: http://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2015/12/eric_wood_defends_rex_ryans_defensive_scheme_against_mario_williams_comments.html Can I start the Hard Knocks in 2016 train?

Obviously banking on that big extension

Working on getting there, just need to rally the troops! Will let The Hammer know if I'm in...

Shady yelling / playing with Redskins fans - oh boy...

Even worse, TBD may start looking at each other suspiciously(er).

I call marketing! Sal just said on WGR that everything he has been hearing is that Whaley WILL be back next year as GM. He also implies that Russ would have a say in the decision and he's a big Whaley supporter. Just like everything, should be interesting to see how it all plays out... Sal and, other guy, also seemed confuse by the Roman criticism vs focus on the D.
