They entered the season once again with little to no depth at numerous positions. LB and OL are two areas, and less than 4 games in that was demonstrated. At least Cleveland fought today. STL is bad, and so is TB. But at least they have new coaches and new people in the FO. Buffalo won't change anything up there, for fear of letting new people in the organization. And that's on RW.

Coming from him I could believe he was serious.

RW will never allow anyone from outside the organization into his kingdom. He's not willing to spend decent money on talent evaluators, but must spend on players. RW won't spend 2% of the total player payroll on a GM, nor make a change at HC, and then says they don't have talent. How patently absurd is that? Hiring Levy, promoting Brandon, and then making the key decisions is why RW has a perennially loser. But RW is too stubborn or arrogant to admit he's a failure.

I can only believe Runyan is unsigned because he is not physically able to play at the NFL level. Philly know him best and passed. It's too late to find decent options to replace NFL retreads like Chambers and J. Scott. And Buffalo signed a PS guy from GB who couldn't make the active roster on a team needing OT help. But hey, they're saving money not having to pay Peters.

You are completely delusional.

Trent stunk it up. But how often did he have time to throw? Jonathan Scott was abominable, Chambers is a turnstile, and you have 2 rookies. Hangartner was blown up a few times. That OL is miserable and it wasn't all that good to start with in Week 1.

They already have their excuses for this season: 1. Injuries 2. Young team This time, it won't work.

We can only hope, but RW needs to fire himself. The team deliberately cut costs on payroll, moving Peters, not keeping Clements, not signing better UFA's, etc. And RW is the one making all the important decisions. He is directly responsible like few owners in the NFL are. Al Davis, Mike Brown, and Jerry Jones think they can run teams. They can't.

Jonathan Scott is trash. So is Chambers. Bell isn't ready. But we had to save money by trading Peters. So let's go get a PS player from GB who couldn't make the roster on a team in need of OT's.

If (and this is a huge pipe dream) RW fired DJ, would it be worth it? I'll say this, besides about 5-7 players, the roster is extremely thin. Cutting costs on depth players and not keeping guys like Peters makes it possible for RW to say the team was young and injured frequently.

This is RW's team. His HC. His star WR. His payroll. Forget DJ he stinks and we know it. RW is responsible because he's making the key decisions. And he is indeed football illiterate as someone posted moments ago.

So true and yet so sad. The fans alone cannot keep this team here. Thinking fans can support this team enough to keep them here post-RW is folly. Profit margin is more important than on field success. If it wasn't true, DJ would have been fired in December.

We'll be complaining about RW, Brandon, and probably DJ next season when they're struggling. Nothing will change.

Chambers owned, no wonder he was cut.

Whoever is willing to take less. April or Fewell, because RW doesn't want to go outside the organization and he needs someone cheap. I honestly think we're seeing the final years of the Bills. Maybe the plan is to alienate the fans so much. The insistence to not pay HC's is one of the reasons that I think RW has mailed it in.

That OL everyone was worried about in the pre-season? It's also killing this team. Rookies, UDFA's, preseason cuts, et al-who's building this team? Oh, but we don't want to pay Peters.

Quoted for the truth. This is RW's team. And his decision making is what is killing the franchise. Then again, what does he care, he's a HOF'er.

well, if you're going to come back after a pick six, that's how to do it

His confidence is shot. Making bad plays combined with DJ as his head coach is killing this guy. You have to wonder about his ability to handle adversity.

Especially when your depth is 4 UDFA's and/or rookies backing up the original starting LB corps from Week 1.

You could say that for nearly every game since the away NE game last year.

DJ has to be involved, AVP looked good on MNF and now this.

I can't help but remember how Edwards wanted DJ back when the season ended last December. It almost seemed ridiculous that the starting QB wanted what we hoped to be a lame duck HC back. As time goes by, I can't help but agree with this post because Edwards has become DJ personified on the field: a no risk, no reward type of decision maker. Edwards has made some deeper throws, and I believe he can be a good QB. But the question must be asked: Does DJ destroy QB's? His game-plans surprise no one, and the QB has been clearly trained to dump it down. Is the QB given some leeway to make decisions on the field? I don't think so, especially when you consider DJ's hired 3 OC's in 4 seasons.

(EDIT: But) Russ Brandon knows exactly what he's doing, and Ralph never interferes with football decisions. No one can assume DJ is going anywhere, not matter how poorly the team finishes in 2009. And even if he is mercifully kicked to the curb, why would anyone think he'll be replaced with a name coach? I could see RW hiring April, because he'll come at a fraction of the price Holmgren, Gruden, Cowher, or anyone with a good track record will demand. RW his hired one name coach since the merger, and that was when he was a young 60 back in 1978. He isn't spending 5M+ on a coach at 91. No way.
