It didn't end the way we'd like but I wouldn't call it awful. The Bills ran all over them for 2.5 Qtrs. I never expected the Bills to win this game so the 24-9 lead was great. They just couldn't hold on. What was the deal with the Bills flying out on Saturday? That was stupid. I've flown coast-to-coast many times and always needed a day to recover. Did they do the same for the LA and Seattle games? With 3 west coast games this season, I'm glad I picked the right one (Rams) to go to. It would've been a long drive home back to Sacramento if I attended today's game.

Not going to happen. Ryan thinks TT is great. Whaley thinks EJ is great. However, since we don't know how Cardale has progressed, at least he's been with the team all year so he's probably just as good at this point as any rookie they could get in the next draft.

I'd stick with Tyrod over Cutler or Romo.

Just stop with the Romo stuff. He missed 12 games last season and the 1st nine of this season. At age 36 there's little reason to believe that will change.

That's right, it's "Irvin" as in Michael Irvin.

How about DeMarco Murray?

Maybe he is buds with Donahoe. Mort doesn't let it go either. Maybe they contact Jerry Sullivan to get info on the Bills.

The Pittsburgh game is in Buffalo, which is one plus. Big Ben has also played poorly in road games the last couple of years.

I'd rather have the Bills beat the Raiders so they have that tiebreaker vs them.

Yes that 3rd down call was horrible. Taylor misses on that route most of the time, especially with the smaller receivers like Goodwin and Harvin. If you think you needed a pass to get the 1st down, why not have TT rollout, which gives him the option to run if the receiver isn't open. I thought the Bills were using analytics? You'd think by now that their low percentage of successful attempts on that play would cause them to stop running it. Not surprised I wasn't the only one. During an injury timeout I was checking fantastic stats on my iPad and then started playing solitaire. The game action started again but I was more interested in solitaire. Seems to have been the norm for NFL games today after an exciting set of games last week. A new NFL record and counting for missed XPs in a week. Is this really what the NFL wanted with this rule change?

Well, as Sabres owners, they stayed pat with Ruff, promoted Rolston and then hired Ted Nolan. They finally seemed to get it right in hiring Bylsma, a coach with a great track record. Hopefully they can eventually do the same with the Bills.

Don't forget about Nigel Bradham. I see it that the Bills are eliminated from the playoffs and then win their last couple games to keep Rex around. 8-8.

If we're talking Bills, you can't forget Mike Williams (the OT from Texas) NFL: you can't leave out JeMarcus Russell and Ryan Leaf.

And the Bills can also talk Peyton Manning out of retirement to be Romo's backup! I'd rather go for Kirk Cousins, who will be a free agent.

I see he didn't make the final 24. Veteran's committee might be his best shot. I clicked on the link to see the 2016 nominees and saw that there was a fan vote so I went there. I guess because the next vote drops the list to 15, it said Vote for 15. I reviewed the list and initially the only name that jumped out at me as HOF worthy was Terrell Owens. I clicked on Vote and it said Vote for 14 more. I could make a case that a few more may be HOF worthy like Roger Craig, John Lynch and Terrell Davis but most of the players I would consider as just Very Good. I believe the NFL is on the road to a watering down of the HOF by voting too many players in. I should've been able to vote for only who I wanted to that I thought was worthy. They vote 6 modern day players in each year plus one from the veterans committee plus contributors. What if there aren't 6 worthy players? Baseball did it right a couple years ago where because of who became eligible, including those with steroid accusations, nobody was voted in.

There was also the part about Rodgers having committed to being a groomsman for a friend's wedding and then sending him a text the day before that he couldn't make it. Again, we don't know the whole story but that doesn't sound like a good move.

Hello, have we already forgotten about Matt Ryan? That's because they have the "great" Isiah Crowell.

Wait a minute. Does that mean you're saying the Bills lose to them? How about this: what do you think would happen if Cleveland won only one game and it was against the Bills?

So we have to ask the question why the team is inconsistent? Is it game planning that stays similar despite the different offenses of the opponents or do the game plans change and some are effective and others not? Do the opponents change their offensive game plans, like Belechick, and the defensive game plan is not prepared for it and/or the coaching doesn't make good in-game adjustments? All of the above is related to coaching. Other reasons for inconsistency are that the players are inconsistent or they have difficulty executing some of the game plans. Playing Miami after Ajayi just ran for 200+ yards, should the Bills D have been better prepared and not allow him to again gain 200 yards? I actually think in that game, he heat and humidity were too much to overcome. Once Ajayi and his O-Line got going, there was little the Bills could do to stop them. The D-Line got outplayed. So, should the Ryan's have made adjustments and did they?

I bet Andy Dalton, Derek Carr, Bortles and Rothlisberger looking forward to playing the Bills secondary.

Ah, yes, I attended UB not long after the North Campus opened. Without a gym yet, they put an air dome over a parking lot, where we played intramural basketball and floor hockey. A big snow storm took care of that as one of the baskets was seen protruding thri a snow drift.

I recall reading that it was setup just the opposite. The Chargers have dibs on joining the Rams in LA. If they decided against it, then the Raiders could look at LA. With Nevada committing money towards a Vegas stadium for the Raiders, they're likely going there as long as the NFL owners approve it. Latest I heard though is the casino owner (Sheldon?) involved is getting greedy and wants a casino attached to the stadium. I don't know if that'll fly with the owners. Glad we don't have to worry about this now.

Then it probably wasn't Rex's idea. Another part of the fiasco I don't understand was the refs supposedly waiting for a K ball when they stood over the ball and let the play clock go down to 5 seconds. Didn't they already have a K ball out there for the initial attempt when Sherman roughed Carpenter?

How about the refs in the Sunday night Raiders/Broncos game? Some of those PI calls against the Denver DBs were pretty weak. I liked it better when the WRs and DBs could battle for the ball, man-to-man.

It was a Sean McDonough jinx. He twice pointed out that Wood had played in 106 straight games. That had me thinking that was a great streak after his early career injuries, then Wham!
