He is definitely full of excuses. Of course I've read studies that indicate that people who believe that failures were caused forces outside of their control have a tendency to be more successful than people who internalize them and believe that they're due to their own shortcomings.

This is what I'm wondering. Seems like Chip Kelly's system would fit him very well.

You mean like Dick Jauron? Beat me to it. The nice thing about this season is that no one is listening to the Rex Ryan BS. He is either going to win on the field or he will be gone. It doesn't matter what he says.

Exactly. Plus I think he is a very poor locker room presence. Better to use the money somewhere else. Could be as well. Him quitting last season can't look too good on film to prospective buyers.

As long as the tickets are cheap, there's plenty of space to bring in the beer and there's a trough to piss in, Bills fans are good. Hog heaven.

In the words of Rocky Balboa: "Time takes out everybody. It's undefeated."

That's pretty good, but Goodwin getting hurt while taking a knee on a kickoff return is pretty good too. We'll call it a tie.

Except that Harvin has shown that when he's healthy and focused, he's a very, very explosive WR and a legitimate #2 if not co-#1. Goodwin hasn't really shown anything so far in his career.

Except that it has been legalized in 17 states for medical use and 4 more for recreational use. 21 states out of 50, and the list is growing.

Strange statement, when I'm the one who volunteered to "pay my share" and you're the one who doesn't want to do anything to the stadium so that they will keep prices as cheap as possible, hoping I assume that the Pegulas continue to spent their money to subsidize the team at a loss. You are the one counting on handouts. I've been to games at half a dozen different professional football venues and my anecdotal experience has been that Buffalo's is by far the least "family friendly" environment I've encountered. Meaning that it was the one where I was most likely to be exposed to drunken fans, abusive language and trash/drinks being spilled on spectators. Maybe building a new stadium won't change this and there are other solutions but the efforts they've made so far haven't really done all that much, IMO.

Who has the pitchforks? Charles Clay huh?

Same thing people here said about Posluszny. Good thing the Bills got rid of him!

Let me guess, you had to walk uphill both ways to your one room school house in the snow when you grew up and turned out just fine.

Exactly. Not a good fit at all. Forget that he's had 4 sacks total the past two seasons.

It was Tim Hightowers turn.

As opposed to the unique "character" of the Ralph? Lol

It's a decent thought, but like others I wonder if his injury will even allow him to come back at all. First need to see where's he's at physically, then see if he can play well on ST again and THEN maybe think about other ways he can contribute.

I'm not sure how Rob Johnson could possibly be overrated when he is one of the most shat upon QBs in Bills history. Unless you mean that people see him as a 3 out of 10 when he really was a 0.

Well, since the Bills can't afford to bring in anyone new I guess we'll find out if you're right. I'm not optimistic, obviously. If they're really serious about blowing up the front 7 then I suggest they trade K Williams for a NT, if possible. Kyle doesn't fit at all and he still has some trade value. That way maybe they can get somebody good instead of a retread.

Do you mean the report that anonymous sources have said that the DA is resisting an indictment? That sounds like more speculation to me. There hasn't been an official statement from anyone as far as I'm aware other than to say that nothing is pending.

Kyle Williams hasn't shown the ability to play a 2 gap NT to this point in his career and to try and use him there would be a total waste of his ability. He's no where near big enough and it would negate his quickness and explosion off the ball, which is one of his best traits. Like Dareus, he's best as a 3 or 1 technique DT. If the Bills played a 1 gap 3-4 like Denver then it might work out, but that's not Rex's system. First of all, both Charles and Bryant are career backups. Secondly they can't play 5t, so unless you're going to play a 5-2 they can't be DEs. They are going to have to play on the edge some of the time in a true 3-4 defense. Thirdly, the fact that Dareus played DE in college doesn't mean he can do it in the NFL and even if maybe he can I highly doubt he will be as effective as he is playing DT. If the Bills seriously want to play a 2-gap system then they really need all new DL except for maybe Dareus. So, what was the strength of the team 2 years ago must now be totally dismantled. This obviously implies that they should play mostly 1-gap schemes but they tried that this season and it bombed so we'll see.

It's amazing that there has been no new news on this for a week but this thread keeps on rolling along... approaching 100 pages pf speculation, supposition and innuendo.

So I guess you underrated him too.

I wonder what would ever possess Patriot fans to think that a Bills reject would be a big time player on a Super Bowl team. If Chandler was any good he would still be in Buffalo. It's not like the Bills are overflowing with talent at TE.

No way Bryant and Charles can play DE. Dareus has a chance, but realistically he's a pro-bowl caliber player as as a 1 and 3 technique DT so moving him to DE is a huge risk. Wynn is a career backup. That's not a very good situation at DE.
