Yahoo writers are pretty good compared to other media outlets. Them saying we are taking a couple hits by losing kiko and searcy are not an overstatement. it is a couple hits. they never said kiko was a major blow to the defense. they even went on to say "the bills did well, getting some huge upgrades on offense without hurting the defense too much"

Optimistically, this is how I view it as well. I do believe we need to draft another G and RT for competition, even if they are in the 7th round. it is too soon to call kujo a bust, but man did he look horrible. And henderson struggled later in the season.... seems like a bad idea to go into camp without real competition added for RT. And I still think the Incognito signing was a good move, but hardly a fix. He looked like he regressed a bit before he was suspended and when he takes the field it would be almost 2 years he played football. I wouldn't pencil him in as a fix.

For media, follow sal @SalSports. he is the most fun to follow from the media people, and is passionate for the fanbase. @JoeBuscaglia and @john_wawrow are good follows too. The rest of the buffalo media don't impress me too much, but those three are good ones. as for other media, I like @Merk256 because he is a bills fan, and usually has a pretty good unbiased commentary on whatever news is breaking bills wise and he gets it out there fast. and I would also recommend @ChrisTrapasso for similar reasons. And I would personally recommend these fans. They are not people with inside info, but they are on twitter A LOT and they follow a lot of people,and if there is a bills story breaking on twitter, you will seem them all start talking about it together within seconds. If you follow these guys and no one else, you will get every bills story out there really quick. @mrdeadlier @buffalobillsgrl @billsmafia_babe @BrianMC630 @yamanboo If you follow all those guys, you gill get all the breaking stories related to the bills, because even if they aren't reporting it, they will retweet, copy or reply to the stories within a matter of seconds and you will get the info. Especially tomorrow, this is like their super bowl to be on twitter during free agency break out. they will be tweeting all day. When following fans, I would stay away from any "complainers." if you follow the complainers, every time a story breaks out you will get a huge round of "go to hell rodak" and "suck it sully" among worse things cluttering your feed. and if you want breaking nfl news in general, Follow any major media people @mortreport @AdamSchefter @RapSheet @RavensInsider (ravens reporter, but he breaks a lot of good national stories often) And if you want to follow me, I am @danspecht . I am not as fast as the other guys, but I will comment on the stories through out the day.

Did Marrone beg for them to let him stay? Get on his knees and all? Did he say "fire Hackett, he is the one the fans hate! Just fire him!"

just what we need. more defense!

Roman doesn't excite me, but he has had a lot more success than marrone/hackett in the NFL, so the offense should be better this year, especially if they beef up the oline a bit. I stil want them to bring in a FA QB. Foles, sanchez, and Moore would be ok choices for me, and I think all three of them are better than orton. Im not giving up on EJ, but they have to put resources into the qb postion this year, even if they don't have that first round pick.

most of the rumors point to ebron being the pick if we stayed at our spot

texans, jax, miami.... it is a longer list than last year until the firings happen

this is the post that makes the most sense

Marrone had a good track record for oline development. I think our guard position is weak, but looks worse with poor QB play. As much as I didn't like fitz, fitz got the ball out quick making the oline look better than it was. Plus we had better talent at guard at that time too. They def need to upgrade at least 1 guard postion in the offseason. And an upgrade at QB would be nice too

this shoudn't matter. the only spot he is taking is a ST player, and our ST are fine. it is our offense that is terrible. And it isn't like mike williams being active will do anything since when he is active they don't play him anyways and he is injured anyway.

I believe so. An example would be EJ having one of his worst games last year against a good Jets D. then he plays them again later in the year and he Has one of his best games. I think after he sees more defenses and gets experience he will get better. I am not sure if he is the franchise QB we want him to be, but I think he is going to stay on this team through his rookie contract at least. He didn't do that bad this season for a young QB. We needed better play though to contend for the playoffs for sure,

With the draft being a crap shoot, it can't be impossible to upgrade the QB postion. but that is where they need to spend their resources. Even drafting a QB in rounds 2-4 can be a much better upgrade over what we have. They need to take more chances on QBs in the draft. More chances they take the better the shot is they get a better QB. Need to upgrade the the guard positions. As for GM and HC.... probably need upgrades there, but I have reservations about that since I have doubts we would replace them with something better. Whaley doesn't bother me too much, and if Marrone would let some other good OC run the offense, that would make me ok with Marrone. but that is not happening.

Can't goggle, my goggler is in the shop

In hindsight, Arians would have been a great hire over Marrone. Out of all the coaching hires that year, I was thinking Mccoy might come out on top. But Arians is definently one of the best head coaches out there now. If Marrone got rid of hackett and the front office put more effort into the QBs, then Marrone isn't so bad.But I don't see his method working. I see him doing the sames things over and over and it is failing. Im sad, because he was an exciting hire, just because it was nice to hire a coach that wasn't fired in the last 5 years.

Only bring in polian if he doesn't bring in his son. his son screws up. I wouldn't say whaley has done "nothing" I have liked some things he has done. too early to tell. The biggest problem with this team has been the QB postion, and that blame lands on everyone in the front office from nix to whaley and everyone else. They should be drafting a QB every year, even if it is in the 4th round. They should be doing that until we actually have a QB. We almost never draft a QB. Before EJ the last two QBs we drafted were Trent and Brown. If you are looking for a frachise qb, and those are your draft choice, you aren't investing enough into the QB position. Bills need to invest more of the draft into the QB postion. They need to find an answer at QB We also need to improve the two guard postions, but that shouldn't be as hard as getting a franchise QB And Marrone needs to replace Hackett. He wont do it, but he should

There are some times where it seems to be on orton. He holds on to it what seems like all day. Granted, it isn't common with him. Maybe 3 times a game. But it is frustrating when it happens. And the oline is definitely the biggest problem with the offense right now.

taking first team reps isn;t a sure thing he is starting, but it does hint at it

Another thing about benjamin is he has cam newton throwing to him, where as watkins has...you know

I wasnt expecting that. Orton needs more experience with the offense.

I love Stevie, but the carolina catch and yesterdays catch were very different. Stevie was wide open in the carolina catch and watkins was pretty well covered. I love stevie and I miss him, but Watkins is a super rare talent. he could become a top 3 receiver after he gets some experience and better QB play

It would be pretty silly from a job security view for him to say anything else. I don't care what he or anyone says on the radio. What I care about is the bills sucked it up sunday. We talk about teams wins with chicago and detriot, that NE game was a team loss. It is crazy that we are doing better on the road than we are at home. Oh these bills.... but lets talk more about the guys on the radio, cause they are the real problem.

I don't get how 1st down can be so difficult. You can probably use almost any play from the play book. It isn't like it is third and long and you have select plays to choose from. That defense looked bad in the second half, but they looked tired too. After a 1st half where all the Pats points were off of turnovers, that probably killed a lot of their momentum. I think the defense can be cut some slack. They have been very good most of the year, so having one bad game shouldn't make us tear the defense apart But that offense.... we need 2 new guards and a new QB. You put two adequet guards and a top 20 QB on this team and we would dominate the division and could challenge for the top of the afc.

I don't want Holgrem, but Ernie Acrosi would be a nice consultant. I would trust his evaluation on what changes need to be made. Kind of disapointed Polians name didn't come up. I say bring in Wolf, Ernie Acrosi, and polian and get all 3 of their opinions.

He is definently getting more comfortable in front of the camera/public speaking. At first, I questioned his intelligence. Ill never forget the PC call after he was drafted and I couldn't make out a single word he said.
