There is no reason for Gailey to continue to coach this team or for Fitz to be the QB - none at all. Nix will continue to give his weak excuse that turnover is always bad. It isn't bad when the guys you currently have in place are inept and will never work out.
Another side effect of this is that C.J. Spiller is very unlikely to re-enlist with a team which grossly misuses his talents.
Can you imagine what CJ could do with good coaching/play calling??? Good lord. Someone in the front office should consider that aspect of the Bills' "near future".

Reports (and his own Facebook posts) say that Rolando McClain will be released by the Raiders this week. He had a ton of talent and upside at one point (#8 pick in the draft) and heard that he did not fit well with Dennis Allen from a friend in Oakland but has a short history of underperforming and shooting guns during fights. He did have 99 tackles and 5 sacks last year and is only 23 years old. With the state of our linebackers, what do we think?
Will he be allowed to use a gun while filling the MLB slot? That might be what Sheppard needs to stop RBs in the hole.

I believe Chan only signed a 3 year deal, which means his contract is up after the 2012 season.
That is what we all thought, but didn't something come out recently (something Nix said?) to contradict this 3-year deal thing?
Maybe they signed a secret extension, you know, so no other team can steal Chan away from us...
-
They bottomed out at the right time.
I'm surprised no one has seized on the fact that the Bills face their arch nemesis tomorrow - Luck.
Yeah, that's some kind of coincidence, eh?
It was probably a concerted effort to bottom out like that. Very smart management. You have to make it look accidental, though.

Suh also pulled Schaub down with a horse collar which was not called.
When Forsett got up and ran for that odd touchdown, I thought that was justice being done (karma, at least) for Suh's 2 dirty plays.
I was very happy to see the Texans win that game.

However I've always been skeptical that in a Super Bowl, that bulletin board material would really make a difference in motivating a team.
If our Bills clowns could not even get to bed at midnight or whatever (staying out all night instead), they were very likely trash talking, too.
And old Marv "treating them like men" (letting them stay out all night, etc) did not work so well - four years in a row. At some point, those Bills and their Harvard-educated coach are just acting stupid.
Party til you puke! Oh, there's a game tomorrow???
-
WR least of our worries. Nelson will be back next yr also.
We Defense BADLY
I want a QB in round 1. All good ones will be gone by the 2nd round.
Take LBs in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rounds!!!

I would hire Wade as HC, but Ralph has burned that bridge.
-
Per Adam Schefter on twitter.
http://m.espn.go.com...storyId=8592214
Now THAT would be an acceptable head coaching candidate to me.
Hey, if Ralph does not know him personally, there is no chance he could be hired.
-
wonder if there are any ways out of Mario's contract.
I don't know. Can Mario be charged with Grand Larceny???
Any legal experts out there?
-
#1 - Wanny won't be fired.
#2 - Ownership will not change.
#3 - My lack of optimism for this franchise will not alter.
Here's hoping next week will change at least #3.
Hey man, kudos on the beautiful avatar!

Was there bad blood between polian and Wilson like with butler...I would assume all is well if they honored polian.
There was an incident where Ralph's daughter (Linda Bogdan, IIRC) was working as a scout (I think), and at some point Polian referred to her with the B-word (or was it the C-word?). I recall that as a breaking point between Wilson and Polian.
You can probably look this up somewhere for more detail.

historically, the success rate of Qbs by rd goes as follows:
rd 1: 50%
rd 2: 33%
rd3-7: 15%
undrafted: 2%
Its not difficult to figure out, 1st rd QB's are most likely to succeed. Do your homework, trust the scouts to look for the right things, and take a QB early.
Thanks for doing that homework!
I am tired of 3rd rate QBs who "might" develop. Throw some coins in the fountain and wish!
I am in favor of trading up for one of the top 2 or 3 QBs. No more farting around at QB, please.

Leodis is gunning for a Trojan endorsement
Well, he did attend Troy University...
And, here is a link:

Would be nice to see James Haslett as a foaming mouth, swearing, screaming, in your face coach on the Bills sideline.
Well, any coaching candidate has to be someone Ralph already knows, so that might work with Haslett.
-
Wasn't everyone here last year screaming how the Bills need to put the defensive guru named Wannstadt in as D Co-Ordinator to get rid of George Edwards?
I can't wait til next season when everyone will be screaming how the Bills need to hire a new D Co-Ordinator to replace the defensive Guru Nolan/Phillips/Ryan/Mangini/etc when that doesn't work out to their liking.
Of course, but folks did not know Wannstedt would bring his 1980s thinking with him!
We expected the guy to be current with defensive football of the 21st century.
Fans know nothing. Unfortunately, our head coach seems to know nothing about defense.
-
Yes but to be multi purpose it needs to be doomed, maybe they will keep open for all Bills games though.
Needs to be "doomed" - Ha!
-
Also is it just me or is it nice watching a little smash-mouth football?
And two coaches that are not afraid to show some f*&king emotion!
Get fired up, dammit!

This is from a Buffalo News article back in May:
"Signing with the Bills was more special to me, beyond football, because my kicking coach, Greg Cater, punted here," Powell said, referring to the Bills' punter from 1980 to 1983. "So I've always talked about the Bills. I have a Bills Greg Cater jersey. He told me if I made all-state in high school, he'd give me one of his jerseys, so I have one. It was just weird when I got the call from the Bills. It's like full circle."
Cater now works as a pastor in Rome, Ga. But he has been working with Powell since he was 16 on his punting mechanics.
"From the first time I worked with him it was obvious he was special," Cater said. "I remember the first time I let him tee the ball up and kick off for me at Darlington [high school]. There's a row of evergreens behind the end zone. He nailed that thing over the evergreens. I said, 'You've got the leg strength. All we need to do is point you in the right direction.'"
PS: I wish TSW posters would stop confusing Potter and Powell. It's not that difficult to figure out...
-
Can Bowe catch a ball with his feet or his knees? If so, he might just be the guy the Bills need...Excellent now who will throw the ball deep to him ?
-
I see that John Potter is no longer kicking balls through the end zone. Indoors, so it's not the wind.
I'd be willing to bet Shawn Powell can do that kickoff job as well as Potter.
So there is my vote for the roster spot for Brooks.

Hate to see him go. He didn't get on the field a whole bunch, but was solid depth. This decision to carry two kickers and four quarterbacks can hurt depth at other positions and here's an example.
Some poster had remarked "poor Johnny White".
Yeah, the poor guy may have to play into February, while his ex-Bill buddies will be vacationing by then...
Good luck, Johnny!

I'm not impressed that Chan was impressed.
I'm not the Chan fan I once was. His blind/stupid loyalty to sub-par player/friends will doom him and set us up for more misery.
In another thread, some posters put it exactly as I thought after the win: The Bills won in spite of Chan, not because of him.
BA
You got it, Bud!
I used to be a Chan fan, but he has lost my admiration.
Fitz has regressed, and I wonder if the David Lee mechanics course has confused his Harvard brain. His arm has always been a weak point, but I thought fixing his mechanics would help. He has become a less accurate, weaker-armed QB since lat year.

Did you actually post this today (Sunday) at 8:37PM?
Are you looking for somewhere to watch the end of the Texans-Packers game? WTF?
Is the timestamp wrong?
The Marshawn Lynch trade; three years later

I seem to recall some talk that Marshawn was a Ralph Wilson selection back in that draft, as well as that 4th round RB (Fresno State) we took the same year.
Of course, there is always post-draft talk, and no one really knows who was behind a particular selection, but I wonder if there is any truth to that talk.
