Doesn't matter. The Bills won't pick a player that can help them. It's not in their nature. I think back to the great team of the late 80s-early 90s and I recall the stroke of luck that someone traded for Greg Bell. That's not likely to happen again.

Hmm.. that never seems to work for the Lions, though.

I just can't let myself believe that Chan is another dead dick. That's just too depressing.

Dude, timeouts get burned when players do stupid things to force you to. Like he said in the pre-game interview, he won't know how this team will react until they play in a real game. I will be just as critical if he does nothing about this. He HAS to know that losing the Dolphins at home on opening day is about the worst thing a new coach can do. Let's see what happens next. Bottom line is that he probably did everything he could with this mess.

Sorry, you can't hang this on him. Lombardi couldn't win with this crap.

Yeah, I don't blame Chan for having no confidence in Trent. I just hope he has seen the Edwards has no game confidence. Fewell saw it.

It doesn't get worse than this, fellas.

I put off some work to watch this -- they'll show Fins road games here -- but these guys are wasting my time now. Will keep an eye on the score. What a shame.. I hoped that it would at least be better than last year, but this is a huge step backward. In fact they seem to be very good at going backwards..

Not ready to blame Gailey yet. Switching to a 3-4 this year was a mistake. Should have waited. Guards are OK, but Center and OTs are getting blown up or run around. Do our RBs block?

LOL, I don't think he can find bigger D-lineman, tackles who can block, and a confident QB in that time!

Ugh, this is going to be another long season.

The all-blue uniforms look like a Division III college. The color is something a fashion person came up with and should be discarded immediately. The darker color worked for some teams but not the Bills. Bring back the 60s uniforms. They are classics, like the Packers, Cardinals, Vikings, and Cowboys uniforms. The Seahawks, Jaguars, and Panthers are the worst. Abstract logos suck.

But the Saints wear black. Didn't affect them. I agree, though, that these uniforms bite. I've always felt that way. Bring on those throwback uniforms, which look like football uniforms.

This one just spins right now.

Spiller was definitely Chan's request. I doubt Nix would have picked him otherwise.

I think you mean "alluded". Changes the meaning pretty dramatically!

He was crazy. Every player of the instrument hates the "french" part. College students and professionals simply call it the "horn".

As an Irish-American (and a Hibernian) I'm cool with it. Until African Americans were allowed to fight whites, the Irish were among the very best boxers. Take a look at the logo. Also the Irish have been prized warriors throughout history. We pushed the British back onto their island from right next door.

Seminole grad here. Our mascot is anything but goofy. His outfit is vetted by the Seminole tribe and he rides in on a fine horse and plants a burning spear in the center of the field. The university is fully supported by the Seminole tribe and there is a good scholarship program in place for them to attend. Go Noles! Dude, the chant is awesome.

Stats are nice, but my question is "Did the guy play well and mostly beat the best competition in the college game?" Peyton Manning - yes Jim Kelly - yes Dan Marino - yes Joe Namath - yes Joe Montana - yes Some teams take a baseball philosophy and think that they can take a good athlete and make him into a good football player. There just isn't time at the NFL level. If you draft guys who played great against the best competition, hire good coaches, and get a little bit lucky, you will win in the NFL. I will admit that you have to take into account a college team's system. NFL teams rely more on the quarterback than say Florida or Texas in recent years. W-L record is not quite as important in those cases.

and Trent's SB appearances, err.. playoff appearances ... well, he should just shut up and throw a ball more than 20 feet. Kelly learned the game in PA where the elements can mess with finesse. We need another guy who can do that.
