Three stories in the Buff News today with some serious questioning of Rex Ryan and his talk. Seems like the News is getting tired of his act. Is Shaq Lawson starting for Lorenzo Alexander this week? Nobody knows The Sammy-got-stepped-on story from September seems kind of serious Jay Skurski's 3 Bills thoughts: Rex Ryan edition I know the News hasn't always had the greatest relationship with the team, but this seemed pretty bold all in one day.

I'd say losing to the Browns, while beating Pittsburgh, Miami, and the Jets, where a win against the Browns would have ensured a playoff spot.

Damn it, just when I finally get out, you pull me right back in. !@#$!

They did several blitzes with LBs and DBs. What they need to do is execute it better.

The Bills blitzed plenty of times, from all positions. They never got anywhere near Carr. For me, one of the biggest disappointments of the second half of the season is the complete disappearance of a pass rush.

Awesome!!

One stat I hadn't really considered until someone posted it is that the Bills are 6-3 since ditching Roman. Good grief.

So what's to stop the Ravens from just punting it out of bounds and ending the game? Or would that be considered a defensive penalty?

O'Leary seems to be coming along as a player. He was a fingertip away from a great TD catch yesterday.

Basically, Rex needs to be selling the game against Oakland as our friggin' Super Bowl. We can still get in if we lose to them, but man, life sure gets easier (and more fun) if we can win that one.

It seemed like, in the second half, that there were several plays when O'Leary was the only TE on the field. I wondered about that.

Can't wait to see what a healthy TT, Sammy, Percy, Goodwin, and Shady (and Gillislee) can do in this offense. I really needed this thread today!

I'm glad they didn't punt. Punting at that point is basically saying you're okay with the tie. I would never be okay with the tie. I'd rather take the gamble and lose, than meekly accept a tie. Now, I agree that the 62 yard attempt is not a good idea, especially in the cold, and that going for it on 4th and 10 is the better call. But I won't fault Kubiak too much for that.

Fair enough!

If you have a song stuck in your head and can't get rid of it, they say this song will do the trick.

And holding should have been called on Gimore on that critical 4th Q pass.

Such as?

Seriously, if it's not Tyrod, then who is it next year? And please don't tell me Cardale. Dude needs a year or two more to incubate.

I think you're exactly right.

Salt Lake City, UT!

The loss of Eric Wood was devastating. Groy is not NFL-caliber.

Just ram it in harder. I can take it.

Lori Chase @LChase_RA Bills 2015-16, with Aaron Williams: 6-3, leading Miami when he went out. Without AW: 6-9 (including Miami) and counting.

Sure sounds like that article was written before the hammy, and revised after the fact to account for it.

Part of me does want to see how Gilly does when given the starting role, but it's painful to have to play this game without a healthy Shady.
