Richie is funny,

Replacing your OC after week two usually works out well.

I don't think that this is true. Head coaches traditionally decide whether to go for it on 4th down, but it terms of the play call my understanding is that typically the OC presents them with a pass and a run option and the HC decides which way to go. But he doesn't pick the actual running or passing play.

This is what I started wondering after I finished laughing. There's no one better than Roman available at the power running game and this team is not designed to pitch it around. So now what? You're just reaching this conclusion now?

They should handle it via lottery. If the team loses, then they draw straws and one player is cut or a coach is fired. Each week. Week 1 victim- Gronk. Week 2 victim- Roman Week 3?

Fire the trainer?

They are so full of crap it isn't even funny.

It's so that Rex can bring in his sister-in-law to take over as OC. Fully pregnant.

No. No front seven player could have been effective rushing the passer given how quickly Fitz was getting the ball out. Dareus and Ragland might have helped vs the run but the run defense wasn't bad until the team tired out late and Dareus would have been the first one to tire.

#1 and #2 are obvious. #3 the Bills have been undisciplined for the last 10 years. They were undisciplined under Marrone and under Gailey too. #4 Bradford has stolen enough money from NFL teams I think. Forget Bradford.

No, he's not going to quit. But he knows this is his last season in the NFL so I'm sure he's pretty depressed about it.

Yes. Bills passing offense is either: streaks or comeback routes. That's it. They can't execute anything else.

I was wondering last night how he could bite his tongue through his mouthguard. I though maybe he lost it during the play or something.

This is going to work out well for the Bills. Gilmore is going to bomb in his contract year and re-sign with Buffalo for a reasonable price. Then when the Bills bring in a new DC with a modern scheme he will look good again- just as he did under Schwartz. It's all for the best. You'll see.

That's it. Who are you tanking for? They can finish with a top 5 pick without tanking so why bother. You only tank if the #1 is Andrew Luck, Cam Newton or somebody similar that you really want.

They're going to start over with another search and then award it to the best interviewee, a la Rex or Gregg Williams. Obviously, everything gets thrown out with a new coach. I hope they keep the 3-4 defensive concept and keep drafting QBs. Take one somewhere in the first 3 rounds every year until you clearly have your guy. TT looks like JP Losman to me. Maybe a decent backup but not a guy you can win a championship with.

What makes it even more shocking is that the Bills are desperate for a legitimate #2 receiver. It seems that they like the idea of throwing it to Shady more than Clay. It' crazy. Well he sure doesn't look like one in a Bills uniform. That is indisputable. Or course many people tried to educate the Bills fan base about Hogan too but now I don't hear them talking so loudly...

I'm happy for Fitz because liked him, but the Bills weren't going anywhere with him at QB and the Jets aren't going anywhere with him at QB either. If he finally leads a team to the playoffs it would be the pinnacle of his career. But teams are trying to win a Super Bowl and Fitz is not a Super Bowl winning QB, IMO.

Yeah, but it's tough to judge because he never is. Very few DBs can tackle and Gilmore is no exception.

Man, good thing Watkins played. What would they have done without him.

I posted this in the shout box during the game but there was absolutely no disguise of coverages or disruption of WR routes off the line. Fitz dropped back and hit his #1 option as soon as his back foot hit the ground 90% of the time. Ball was out of there in 1 or 2 seconds max. With a short week to prepare, it looked like he had tapped into the Bills play calling frequency and knew the defenses in advance.

Are these the steps in order to tank the rest of the season?

Roller coasters go up and down. I think this will be more like a flume ride.

He could have pulled a Chan Gailey and said that he had no idea what the problem was or how to fix it. Maybe that would've been better...
