Seriously? This kid will not make it out of the top 10. Gauranteed!!! Not saying that means anything. But he will be long gone before the Bills pick in RD2, let alone 4 or 5.

buddy know talent in the south. His roots are here. I believe he will get the most honest shake down on newton from the guys who coached him/coached against him. If Buddy and then Chan think he is the guy i am sold. I know he is going to have a lot to work on. And am totally fine with him sitting for a year. or even two ala McNair. But the kid is not dumb. I know what style he played in, i watch SEC football every week. To me he has the intangibles that Russell never had. Then DL and LB are perfect. Go OL in the 4th and also a DB. Who ever they draft they need to be producers.

Character concerns? You mean cause his old man is a greedy parent trying to live off his 20 y/o kid? Wow! you are a little harsh. And i know about the computer incident. But with a role model like his dad, what you expect? He seems to me the real deal. great attitude, makes everyone around him play better. A leader. Something Young never was. Not saying DT is the wrong place to go, just saying you dont win championships with a great Dline, ask the Vikings!

The kid is a winner. he won the JuCo national Championship. Too. i really dont know if he is going to be the next Rothlisberger(sp) or the next Vince Young. But at 4-12 you got to start taking some chances. And there are just as many bust Dline man as there are qbs through out draft history.

And that why the athlete today is twice as good as 30 years ago?

Aj Green is great. i am a UGA fan. But even after they got him back UGA struggled. If anything go to where he played college and see what happened to a struggling team when he arrived. They still struggled. I am talking about this year. He missed the first 4 games. UGA was 1-3. They ended the year 6-7. And that was college. You think he gonna make a big difference on a 4-12 team with a bad d front 7, and a career back up qb?

Were you not impressed from watching the practice drills? or game? If it is the drills i will only say this, part of helps an offensive lineman is the defense not knowing what is coming. ie a pass or rush and the count. Those drills are decieving to me. If the best oline man goes against the best pass rusher 10 times. They should split or maybe the oline man wins 4 out of the 10. Just an old oline mans opinion.

I think the Oline is a RT away from being a solid unit. They also need some depth. Those guys could be on the staff and need developement. They understand, like most football people, that Oline is a unit. You need to have a nucleus of atleast 3 guys on the unit. The bills have that in Bell, Wood, Levitre, and maybe Hangartner.

The thing that struck me was that norwood missed the 45 yd field goal...wide right. man foreshadowing. I had forgot all abot that, till that clip. God if he would have just hit that one in the SB! That was when i realized wanting something bad, doesnt mean you are gonna get it! Still love the Bills and always will. heres to hoping the Bills are turning the corner and headed back to the glory days!

Chan was brought in to stabilize the franchise. Him and Nix seem to have a plan. the Oline is progressing nicely. I think they are a year and player away from being a great unit. This year is not a playoff year, but more a 8-10 win campaign. If the team plays with the heart it did this past year, and there is a few more talented players added, then i think this is achievable. 2012 is when you hope you can start to really make a run, but the Bills are still missing the QB piece, which is huge!

If you were going to make a change at DCord, you would have. You dont bring a guy in as one thing and then change him to another before a single game has been played. Wannstedt definetly gives another strong defensive mind to the staff. I like his knowledge and hope he can work well with Edwards. Sometimes it does not have to be 'all or nothing'.

Does this change Lucks mind? Now what if Stanford hires a head coach that decides he wants to run a different offense? Luck has to learn a new system? Any thoughts? or Does it not change a thing for Luck?

Isn't that true about any qb? Not trying to be a smartass. Mallet had his chance to prove he was a gamer lastnight. He failed. If you noticed after he had his rahrah speech on the side line, the team never got another point. Just saying. I know he is trying to be a leader, but to me, you either have it or you dont.

I saw this too. No way they take a CB. If they do then Bills fans can revisit Buddys' interview where he stated he watches the same game as everyone else. If the Bills dont have a shot at Luck(which they shouldn't), then they have to go front 7 on D. CB is not a concern when you do not have a pass rush. If the Bills had any semblance of a rush, these corners/dbs would be awesome. The QB from Mizzou was also weird. Not sure about that one. Kind of seemed like an 'I told you about him first' thing from McShay.

I remember seeing a scout a few days after the 2009 draft. He told me then Byrd would have the biggest immediate impact for the Bills. Boy was he right. He hesitated on saying Byrd was a great pick. When i asked about Woods and Levitre he liked both. Said Levitre probably would have been there a little later. But did not criticise the pick.Said both should be solid players. The only pick he really seemed to think was a big reach was Maybin. While he agreed with everything as far as speed went. He fet as if he would not be able to utilize that alone at the Pro Level. And questioned whether he could learn other techniques due to his size. I have also spkoe to some guys i know that work on a dtd basis with the players. And Maybin is not the most savy football player. They did not say he was dumb, but that it is hard for him to learn new things.- Sounds like a nice way of saying slowing to me. Anyways Maybin and Hardy are two busts from the most recent years. If this team is going to build a strong foundation, they can not miss in the first 4 rounds.

Sorry, but being down here in SEC country i have watched him a lot. Nice piece, but what you expect. he knows what his big knock is. he is trying to grow up, but when the bullets are flying, your true colors come out. It could take years for the maturation process to be complete. The Bills dont have that kind of time. Pick a qb that can step in and start like Flaco, Ryan, Freeman, Sanchez, or Stafford. Or pick a stud D front seven guy. But Mallet to me has the makings of another guy with all the potential, and no true leadership qualities. Fitz has shown this year how much more important that is. Edwards was a far more talented qb, but had no real natural born leadership qualities.

you finally see some direction in the franchise. Something that has been lacking since Butler left. I do not believe this coaching/gm regime can take the Bills to the championship level. but they can get the franchise back to legitimacy. It is a process. God knows the next decade is due to be a better then the last.

I have hoped and thought that Gailey would restore some order to the franchise. he is by no means a championship coach. While at tech, his big knock was that he belonged in the pros. he is a good guy, a smart football mind and while not a sexy hire, he has maybe stabilized the franchise. The one positive i see is that he and nix are working together. If they go out and draft heavy D front 7, then we know we have some direction. This team has heart. A comeback win like this past weekend proves that. No doubt. the bengals are still a pro team. They quit on lewis, chans boys rallied. that tells you he has their heads and hearts. That is what any leader needs to be succesful. Lets just hope they stay focused and win a few more games. Build on it for next season. beat the steelers? nah. but lets see if they compete and take them to the wire.

You described Andree Reed there basically. Not great size, speed or athleticism. But some guys are just gamers. Now is Stevie going to be the next Reed, who knows. but his numbers this year make an optimist Billieve!

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that Galla's also opened a new location at 1155 Mt Vernon Rd Sandy Springs Ga 30338. We will be showing the games here too. We are huge long time Bills fan! we show the games at both our locations. (4849 Peachtree rd Chamblee Ga 30341 is our other location), We would like to invite you guys to come down. Dr dankenstein, thank you for the kind words about the food. We try hard to bring the best style of pizza to the south. As well as wings and wecks! Take care guys, Go BILLS!!!!

I dont agree totally about the Bills O line. they are starting to play a lot better. Now the D front seven you have Kyle Williams and Poz. After that nothing much but back ups and guys on the decline of their career.

Yes, But you got the ball back at your one with just over a minute left. Very Big difference between that and say at the 30 yd line with around a minute and half.

When Chan challenged the Roscoe catch with just over 2 mins, he reminded me of old Dick. First of all it was not even close. Second of all you waste your second time out. The Bills could have punted the ball away. Had two timeouts and the two minute warning. If they held the Bears(like they did) the Bills would of had the ball probably more around their 30 with some where around 1:30. Much better chance of driving to get the tieing field goal. Anyone else feel this way?

I disagree. Haveing a new coach and new system and management in place is when you need to start winning. The Falcons went out and drafted Ryan in the same offseason they hired Mike Smith and Dimitrof was brought in. If the Bills could put together 4-5 wins in the last half of the season it makes the players buy into what the coach is preaching. Maybe even rise up and beat a NE or NY in one of those. Helps with confidence. Besides 4-5 wins you are going to probably be picking in the top 5. You would be able to get a great player in that position. The best maybe not, but just picking first does not mean you get the best player. It also may allow you more options to trade back some, if that is the approach you want to take. Nobody want to trade up to the first or second pick. As the system stands now, teams dont want to be on the hook for that salary.

Heaps two touchdowns were directly on the shoulders of the safeties. And the flea flicker was all Whitner biting. That play hardly ever works to that degree. He was wide open by a god 7-10 yds. I dont dislike Whitner, but he is not a good safety. He is more or less a reserve in my opinion. If he was not such a leader, you would probably have seen him cut by now.
