  1. Although Dalton is popular, I don't think he has proven himself to be a franchise QB. He had a good year for a rookie with a strong defense and some good targets. However, his QB rating was only one point above Fitz's. This year, he has regressed and has more picks and less TDs than Fitz. Again, their ratings are about the same (1.5 points apart) but Dalton takes a lot more sacks (22 vs. 12). Dalton may yet prove to be a good pick for Cincy but at this point, the numbers don't show him to be a significant upgrade (or an upgrade at all) from what the Bills already have.

     

    He took his team to the PLAYOFFS last year. That says enough to me.

  2. The season is over. Losing to the *Patriots will drop us to 3-6 and 0-3 in the division.

     

    I'm for tanking and cleaning house once again.

     

    Oh yeah, for the people saying we'll probably finish 5-3 or 6-2 and barely miss the playoffs...The last time the Bills were anywhere close to making it was in 2004. It's not going to happen.

  3. Gailey sounds like he doesn't have a clue! Imagine what the players must think? If Nix insists on keeping Gailey as his Head Coach I think it's time for both of them to hit the door.

     

    The Bills have to be the laughingstock of the league.

  4. Depressing. Didn't think my view on Wanny could sink any lower. Chan definitely needs a bad cop foil.

     

    Hates the blitz. Poor play calling in the second half.

     

    And now, according to the reporter, unimaginative, not inspirational, ineffectual, bad teller of stories and a poor user of props.

     

    Wonder what his bright spots are.

     

    He's Chan's friend.

  5. Oh, I thought the board was for football discussion and opinion. Then how many quarts are in a liter?

     

    Do you need some help with that stick, or do you like it up there?

     

    While Potter's kickoffs haven't all been touchbacks lately, you can see why the Bills have him when Lindell can barely reach the 5 yard line.

  6. Wait, let me get this straight.

    Wilson goes 9 of 23 (that's 39% completion) for 120 yds and 1 INT in a loss and we're all lovin' on how impressive he is and he can make all the throws?

    Fitz goes 16 of 26 (that's 61.5% completion) for 126 yds and 1 INT in a loss and he sucks, has no sense of urgency, and is just unwatchable?

     

    Yeah, because throwing for 1230 yds, 7 INTs and 8 TDs in 6 games is so much better than throwing for 1210 yds, 8 INTs, and 12 TD.

     

    It's not that I'm dissing on Wilson or saying Fitz has played well. I'll give any rookie the benefit of the doubt, and Fitz has struggled.

     

    But similar results make Fitz unwatchable and Wilson impressive? Bah.

     

    One is an 8 year veteran. The other is a ROOKIE. Good lord.

  7. Spot on. They are going to draft one next year, and they will be tied to that guy.

     

    They get to draft one of their own. Fitz and Edwards were what Gailey and Nix found lying around when he arrived.

     

    The current trajectory of this season (8-8, 9-7, maybe 10-6) will not get either Nix or Gailey fired. 7-9 or worse might cost Gailey his job but it would take at least that bad, even though I would be badly disapointed with less than 9-7.

     

    So you think drafting a QB next year will buy them 3 more years or so? They could've drafted one in the previous 3 drafts...They chose not to draft one. They made their bed and now must lay in it.
