Don't forget SD. They are in the hunt too. A loss to the NYG knocks them back.

Interesting. I don't think Glennon had to face a defense like ours while playing Florida State. Not to knock Glennon. He has been pretty promising for Tampa, but he is still a rookie. You can bet, Pettine will be bring the pressure. Then again, all season I have been optimistic for wins. So, what do I know. A solid Bills win will spell trouble for Tampa. From the Bills' perspective, I just hope the team doesn't start off with another early lead only to let it slip away. That is the theme the Bills need to squash. I've seen the offense and defense go all conservative with a lead. That's OK if it is a big lead. Most games however, the Bills usually only have a small lead and they need to have that killer instinct to put games away. I haven't seen that from this team yet.

Reading this. The Bucs according to this article, are one loss away from a fired coach and a complete overhaul. The Bills on the other hand appear to be a team on the rise.

I really think the cut has little to do with wanting to see what Wingo has got. The Bills are simply looking at the overall roster, trying to find ways to improve. They just signed TE Moeaki for instance. Choice was a good 3rd string back, but the Bills need to improve 1st stringers. Moeaki is likely going to do that and since Choice was a 3rd stringer, he was the odd man out. Now maybe it has nothing to do with Moeaki being added to the roster either... just using that as an example really. There may be other reasons yet to be seen. Remember, we are only allowed a 53 man roster. The idea is to get the best players on the field. Choice rarely saw action unless someone was hurt. The Bills need to get the best ballers on the field and playing on a regular basis. Funny how everyone assumes cutting a RB is all about the RB position.

After reading this, I realized that that this is a team that is on the verge of falling apart. The perspective is that the Bills are a bad team that the Bucs should handle or their season is toast. With that kind of reasoning, they have all ready lost. Sorry, Bucs fans.

There is a piece on BB.com site about him. Interesting history on the guy.

No you can not! Coach is sick and tired of listening to complaining. No complaining about home field advantage, no complaining about weather condition advantages. No complaining about start time. Yep. For Atlanta!

Would be cool to give the Canadian guy a chance to show his stuff in front of a home crowd. This is no time for the Bills to get cutesie though. We need to get after Ryan and win out the rest of the year. Stephon Charles has not been able to stick on any team. What was it....something like 4 teams?

I'm tired of talking about Stevie.

It was not censored. It was merged with the "Atlanta Falcons Week 13" thread.

Oh yeah!Thanks.

C'mon, man. Football hasn't changed that much over the years. I see a lot of people using the term "Modern NFL". There is an upward trend in passing offenses. I'll give you that. But one thing in football that is and will remain a constant. Teams that succeed deep into the post season have a common theme and it isn't a great QB. It's controlling the line of scrimmage. Since when is Flacco an elite QB?

Loved those commercials back then. One was of Barry Sanders and the other Bruce Smith....."Bad things". What was that actors name?

Paul McCartney and Wings?

MMMMM!! Mapo. Used to eat that when I was a kid.

Atlanta is giving up more than 130yds per game on the ground.

C'mon, Kyle. Rub some dirt on it.

I understand you. I did before as well. We have drafted our QB and hopefully he can turn things around. Right now we are simply turning our sights on what we consider a glaring need. Even with a great QB, you still want to run the ball as well. It pains me to see great talents like CJ and Fred going nowhere because the get hit for a loss immediately after a hand off. Yes, a great QB can disguise some deficiencies but that does not change the fact that the OL is not measuring up to expectations.

How did a thread that is so obviously about the OL become a thread about the QB? The OL needs work. Whether QB is great or not, the OL needs work.

I agree with this. A lot of it just depends on how the chips fall too. During a draft for instance, we look at all of the positions that we would like an upgrade at and then decide which player we think would make the biggest impact. That position may not be the one we consider our weakest link. Just that the draftee is who we think will make the biggest impact. Sometimes you can't hit on the weakest link. Sometimes the draft position prevents getting value at the spot we most want to upgrade. There ain't no Gronk store. Have you read this thread? Or did you just read my last comment and assume you know where I was going with this? I would much rather upgrade the OL before getting a tight end. Read the whole thread. Some pretty good conversation here.

Absolutely correct. That's why a TE who can block and catch is so important.

I was thinking the same thing.

I think Hackett wouldn't mind incorporating more pass plays for a TE. I think the number of skill player we all ready have kind of changes things. I think this team really does have a lot of talent at the skill positions, but there has been such inconsistency at QB. It'll be fun to see if EJ can turn things around. Even though I would prefer offensive line depth over TE, it would be great to see a TE that is good at both blocking and catching. You are right though. that guy won't be easy. Where did I say we don't need a good QB? I don't remember that at all. And our OL is a long way from being superbowl caliber. We don't have Brady, Brees or Rogers on this team to carry us.

Not really nonsense when looking at our team. Where do you see a QB the caliber of Rodgers on our roster?
