Here's my take. I must admit, it's a bit gruesome at some positions, but all in all it's a solid playoff team.

A 5th string WR or safety that contributes on special teams is far more valuable than a better positional player who sits on the bench and reads magazines during the game because there are 4 guys ahead of him. Again, maybe I don't get it, but cutting key players from the best unit on your team over the past few seasons, without even giving them a training camp, doesn't seem like a good way to improve. Can they be replaced? Of course. Everybody can. However, we now have to replace them.

I'm not sure why you cut guys before training camp. Why not see what they can do in your system? Plus, you never know about injuries, etc.

I don't know about that, but if the Bills get better on special teams than they've been over the past few years then there ought to be a law against them.

Apparently, it's based on a lack of confidence in the new coaching staff when compared to Dick Jauron's (if you can believe that!).

The bigger you type something, the more important your opinion is.

Outrageous! The fans at TBD decide who the QB should be, regardless of the coach's opinion or training camp performance.

The 3-4 is just the current fad. 3 of the 4 teams in the championship games and both the teams in the SB play a 4-3. The Bills could've stayed in a 4-3 and become more aggressive like NO or just gotten bigger along the DL (which would've been my option) like Minnesota. Heck, if they could've drafted a DE that could rush the passer, then the Tampa 2 they used to use would probably have worked too (imagine the Bills secondary with Freeney & Mathis at DEs). As it is there will be wholesale changes and more rebuilding.

No they didn't. Look at Freeney (6'-1", 268#) and Mathis (6'-2", 245#) from the Colts. Those are the types of players the the Bills were looking for.

This. Either you can play or you can't. If Ellis or Maybin could make plays, they would be doing it from DE as well, at least occasionally. I know Maybin is very green so we can give him another year to show something, but I haven't seen many signs from either player in their time in Buffalo.

Mark Kelso.

This line of thinking is exactly what is wrong with the Bills. The idea is to use draft picks to get productive players, not vice versa. Trading productive players for draft picks is the M.O. of losing organizations.

He got knocked around and lost his confidence. I'm not sure if he will ever get it back. He's throws the ball well, has a good arm and is accurate, but he doesn't really seem that mentally tough and doesn't know how to buy time in the pocket. That's not the profile of a champion, IMO. He is a rebuilding project that might recover in a year or two to be a good backup/journeyman. Frankly, Fitzpatrick shows more potential to me. He makes some (a lot of?) bad throws, but he makes much quicker decisions, can run with the ball and will try to make the big play if he thinks he can. With some coaching help and if he were to get a little more pass protection so that he can actually set his feet and throw on rhythm, I think that he could become more accurate. No one mentions him, but he deserves an opportunity to fight for the starting job, IMO.

Williams is one of the Bills best young players, but he will basically be a man without a position in the 3-4. I suspect that the Bills will try him at DE, but I suspect that the Bills will end up trading him within a year or two to a 4-3 team.

Hmmm... Let's see, you have (3) NFL backups, (3) rookies and a 6-time pro-bowler. I wonder who would be best?

Frankly, I doubt it. He is going to be very expensive and NE has lots of expensive guys already + he has a rep of not playing hard on every play, which doesn't sound like a BB type guy.

He made some nice calls, but when your QB is completing everything you call the coach looks a lot better.

Congrats to NO. If the aint's can win it, anybody can...

Booth review...

I think it's over...

Not a good penalty. The Saints are playing like this game is over and it's not yet.

You think they'll win one before they move?

Indy moving the ball fast, but they're still probably in an onside kick situation if they score (unless it's in the next two plays).

That's probably why...

Should've ran it...
