Totally ing stupid. Instant @$$-OLE - just add alcohol Yeah the Raiders fan provoked it, but he didn't deserve to be assaulted. That kick to the face was criminal and unnecessary.

Wow. When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

He was Jimmy Johnson's DC on the Cowboys back in the 90's

Ouch! We have to many freakin' sports history majors in this forum! J/K To answer the OP, it all starts up front. Buffalo needs to build a team that can control both sides of the line of scrimmage. Sort of like the team that just spanked us last weekend. It starts there. Great QB who doesn't have time to throw (refer to Peyton Manning's performance this past Sunday) is not going to succeed. We need a killer O-Line, and a strong D. Good coaching, and strength and conditioning too. We knew going into this season that it was gonna be a long one. Hopefully the parade of free agents has yielded some guys who can build depth for the team, and we have a decent draft next April. We get a couple decent FA pickups and maybe we move to back to the middle of the pack. I say at best, we are 2 years away from being a top quartile team, and we happen to have 2 very strong teams in our division. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

One problem with winning - the critics start wanting "style points". Wins don't count; they have to be dominating wins. Everything gets picked apart because some fans have no lives, so they obsess about every aspect of the team. Like - the long snapper is undersized; why hasn't the front office addressed this?? True, the Colts are not the team they were a few years ago. But the injury bug has taken a toll on both Manning's receivers and his protection. I'm not surprised Polian admitted to a mistake; he's pretty much always spoken his mind.

The way we keep losing guys, it could happen!

Aaron Maybin played center in a jr high intramurals game, so he was next on the depth chart for the O-Line?

That was a bad day

How about this classic series of plays that got Steve Tasker ejected from his final game as a Bill? Tasker gets tossed

Prior to the injuries yesterday, I felt like we had a shot at 4 and 12. The offense was the strongest unit on the team. With the O-Line losses, I think the Bills are in serious trouble now.

Whatever. The performance on the field, good or bad, speaks for itself.

That's the saddest news I've heard today. Coincidentally, almost 30 years to the day since the John Lennon murder was announced during a MNF game. MNF December 8th, 1980

Maybe he's got one of these . . . Ralphie

Maybe we should go after a running back or DB?? Okay, I'm joking. Gotta love this quote from Sal Maiorana: "It took a spate of injuries, but Maybin and McCargo were both active. They combined for one tackle. But hey, they had uniforms on." Article

It's amazing that Pat is still performing at a high level. He is the oldest defensive player in the league (38). Another quality player we let walk. Are we the best team in the league at doing that??

I think we should trade him the the Patriots for past considerations . .

Amen! Healthy Vikings

Hey lets look at the bright side - The Bills show up in another NFL Blooper video!

Every time we play the Vikings, I remember that we could have had Bryant McKinnie instead of Williams, and we let one of the best DBs in the league (Antoine Winfield) walk. What is Williams doing these days anyway? Modelling suits in the Big and Tall department at Men's Wearhouse?

Ouch, but so true. I have never seen so many "Swings and Misses" on first round draft picks as the Bills have had since John Butler left. (RIP John).

Losing guys from the O-Line absolutely killed the bills today. Minnesota's D is too good to stop with 2nd and 3rd team guys. We need to get some better players.

+1. O-Line was a shambles today and we don't hsve enough depth to withstand the loss of 2 key O-Line players in a game. Our talent cupboard is pretty empty.

Good interview; thanks for posting.

And then the Zebras mercifully throw the "Blow out" Flag. It's white of course!

Belichick will find a way to get the guy.
