I like what the guy says, so I hope he's right! @kdiggz - that's just fantastic

I'm happy with the trade. Poll is broken. LETS GO BILLS!

It doesn't look like EJ trusts TJ like he does Stevie and Woods. I can't say I really blame him when TJ doesn't try to make a play on the ball, even if it's underthrown. The WGR guys were saying Graham was getting over in the 2nd half, but EJ wasn't looking his way. I'd like to see them get on the same page to see some productivity.

I went with: Inability to convert 3rd downs, Penalties, and Turnovers. I believe untimely penalties and drops were the largest causes of this loss. I counted 5 first downs nullified due to those reasons. That is significant, especially when seeing the Bills converted 15 total first downs in the game. Of course, turning the ball over in your own end is also a fast way to give a game away.

8 days away isn't far off, but it will feel like forever. There definitely seems to be more excitement this year than in recent memory. I guess that comes with taking a QB in the 1st round!

Buffalo Bills First day: April 2 OTAs: May 13-15, May 20-21, May 23, May 28-31 Voluntary minicamp: April 16-18 Mandatory minicamp: June 11-13 Rookie minicamp: May 10-12 http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/eye-on-football/22171013/nfl-ota-minicamp-dates-announced-for-2013-offseason Can't get started soon enough! Go Bills!

Buddy has been able to find some decent lineman off of other teams scrap heaps. Urbik, Rinehart, Pears Hairston was a 4th round pick who, so far, has been serviceable. I'm eager to see what Zebrie Sanders brings us this year. I'm confident in Buddy finding us some talent to upgrade our interior.

I hope to see 'Buddy sucks at picking in the 2nd round' busted tonight.

I won't argue with having "more access." So close...

It doesn't sound bad if you imagine he's Christopher Walken.

I didn't even realize I could embed it. Awesome!

A bunch of crazies up in here... http://i.imgur.com/Lb6Gh.gif

I've been doing some research on Marrone, and am finding mostly positive feedback. To those who are dead set against the hire, could you please elaborate on your misgivings of the hire? I've read that he: Is very aggressive in his schemes, but conservative with his game day play calling Has taken a historically bad SU program and taken it to two bowl wins Has taken Nassib, a QB who after his freshman year was expected to be an UDFA at best, and helped him become a potential top 2 round pick Has experience managing two running backs Is not an NFL retread, but still has head coaching experience Offensive minded coach, has been associated with success in the NFL as OC (New Orleans) and OL coach (Jets) http://scottpitoniak.blogspot.com/2013/01/marrone-good-choice-to-rebuild-buffalo.html - Drew Brees told me that he “loved working with Marrone because Doug knew offenses inside and out, was meticulous in his preparation and was a great leader.” He knows how to prevent a player from poisoning the locker room, Mike Williams at SU for example This is not something the Bills do. The more I read about Marrone the more I'm liking.

Glad I wasn't the only one who saw it. 6-7 at half? I wouldn't have guessed it. Bills get ball 1st in the 2nd half. A chance at the lead. GO BILLS!

The responsibilities of a 3-4 OLB and a 4-3 OLB are not the same. A 3-4 OLB most closely translates to a 4-3 DE. This is exactly what happened with Mario on the Texans. He was a 4-3 DE up until last year when Wade Philips implemented a 3-4 D, which he played as an OLB.

Apparently playing with the injury has rendered him ineffective. May as well have the surgery and see if it helps.

You're speaking my language today. I had the same thought earlier. It hurts because I care. I care because they're like family. You can get mad at them, yell at them, berate them, but you still stick with them.

1. Players not executing their responsibilities with effort and consistency.

Vanilla D and Whiff Cream: Opposing O feasts again

I think Kyle is blaming what he has control over, which makes a lot of sense. He can't do anything about Wannstedt being his DC, but he can affect his play on the field and attempt to inspire the other guys on the field to handle their responsibilities.

This was the single worst play call of the game. It was tied 14-14, ball at the TEN 33, 3rd and 9. The D hadn't had a stop yet in the game, and our O only had one possession at the time. So the logic is to take the guy who gets the most consistent penetration on the line and put him into zone coverage. What the F. Can't get pressure with 4, so lets do 3 instead? Having KW rush may not have yielded a different result on the play, but at least you're putting your best players in a situation where they can do what they do best.

Any ranking system is going to be subjective based off of how the ranker weighs each criteria in which they evaluate the squad/position. What is more important is how the line is performing in the offense that it is running. Clearly this will also be subjective, but I would say the Bills line is doing an admirable job of handling their responsibilities. I'm glad for the depth we have with Rinehart and Hairston, but I think both Urbik and Glenn have been more consistent while they're playing.

That ranking came before this season even started. The line has been better than I, and many others, expected it to be.
