The Bills need Taylor to keep improving and stay healthy. It really is the only way the Bills can get over the hump and have the season that all of us crave.

I bundled my Internet and TV with Cox. I lowered my bill by $65 per month. I've haggled with Dtv before and just got fed up with them. Plus we got a lot t storms down here. No service. May be a new customer price. What about a loyalty credit for long term customers? I was with them for 17 years.

I just canceled Directv. They offered $19.95 a month on a 2 year contract. The Sunday Ticket was extra. I'll be watching the games at a bar. Hopefully Rex can deliver this year. Last year was tough for me. 46 years and counting. Go Bills!

Both short yardage fullbacks and blocking backs who were good down at the goal line. Rathman played for the niners with Roger Craig (hopefully you know who he is) and Alstott played for the Buccaneers.

Wilson had Dehaven and Ronny Jones fired.

All that plus the Giants held onto the frickin ball for 41 minutes. Simms is right otherwise the Bills would have won the game!!

I would have to agree. That no good human being was the best talented Bill. Teams would game plan to stop him and they couldn't. Bruce was a true force and teams game planned around him as well. Kelly made those SB teams great and was a true competitor. Cribbs and Thurman were great Bills as well.

You do know that you are comparing Vick to a guy who is playing in the UFL now. Dogs aside, it seems ridiculous to consider bringing in Vick. He is nowhere near the QB he once was and when he was in his prime people were pretty divided on whether he was that good.

Marv is a good guy but his loyalty and defense of Jauron is too much. Marv did the right thing by retiring. His two year stint of draft picks and free agent signings along with hiring Jauron have contributed to the organization being in its dismal state.

One of the things that Nix mentioned in his first press conference was to build the team through the draft and to focus on re-signing players after their initial contract expired. Hopefully he will draft well and follow through on re-signing them.

No. I'm not embarrassed that he didn't know that Chan Gailey is the 15th Head Coach of the Bills. Is that little fact very important? I think not. If you focus on what he says about football he comes across as rather straight forward and a guy who has been around football quite some time. In his first press conference after being announced GM, he stated that he was looking for a HC who had been a HC before and had experience running an offense. Chan Gailey fits that description. You may not like Gailey as his choice but the guy didn't BS us during his press conference. How about giving the guy a break or find something of real substance to gripe about?

He was. Mitchell needs to go.

Here we go Steelers. A 2009 non playoff team that has won the Super Bowl 6 times. Even in a bad year they aren't nearly as bad as most Bills seasons.

Frazier is one win away from making it to the Super Bowl. The ultimate accomplishment in this league, for those who try to win. For some strange reason, I don't think he is sweating it out. He may be even enjoying his recent success and dreaming of commanding an even higher salary! Sucks to be him.

BREAKING NEWS: Jauron still has only 1 winning season. Thanks Marv.

It has nothing to do with the city and all to do with Ralph, his cheapness, and how the organization is set up (or not set up). Any previous HC who has some leverage is either going to go elsewhere or make certain demands regarding the Bills organization. Is Ralph going to stand tall or is he going to blink? Throwing out a potential big salary is only part of the answer. Having authority on personnel, free agents, drafts, and other decision making is what Ralph is going to have to concede on if he is going to succeed in hiring someone like Cowher. If not, then the Bills will hire another coordinator yet again and we will all hope for the best. Sound familiar??

The Rooney rule is named after Rooney who owns the Steelers. He is the one largely responsible for the rule hence the "Rooney Rule". Don't you remember when he was presented the Lombardi Trophy last year and he thanked President Obama for some odd reason after the Steelers won the Super Bowl.

The Bills should consider at least interviewing Brian Shottenheimer. He did a nice job calling the game yesterday and mixing things up. Kept the Bengals defense guessing a lot. Bills need some creativity on offense.

Has anyone seen the Bills opponents for next year yet besides the Fish twice, Jets twice, and the Patsies twice? I thought opponents were determined as soon as the season ended.

Give it up! He won a Super Bowl. That's all that matters!

I think Billick would be a good hire as HC. An overall winning record, a Super Bowl, and 4 playoff appearances in 9 years. Yes he was arrogant while in Baltimore and yes Ozzie Newsome made a lot of great picks on Defense. But Billick has more experience as a head coach than anybody else out there. I'm not counting Cowher, Shottenheimer and Shanahan since they don't appear interested in the Bills. Maybe he learned from his mistakes in Baltimore and would be an even better head coach in the next go around. Certainly beats the likes of Jauron, Mularkey, and Williams. Everyone misses on talent and his biggest miss was convincing the Ravens to draft Kyle Boller. Think of all the misses the Bills have had.

This media el foldo is particularly odd in that the basement at OBD is to some extent pretty opaque as there is really one ulimate decision-maker Mr. Ralph and he has had destructive relationships with pretty much every alternative info source such as the fired Polian, the walked away Butler, the fired TD, Wade, etc and he has shown a penchant for hiring fellow Golden Boys like Marv and potentially now Nix. I mean the modern NFL team is designed to give info to the public. The media has the place set for them and they were totally unable to squeeze out the barest hint of additional info. I believe that you answered your own question. Wilson is the ultimate decision maker and if he doesn't tell anyone prior to the press conference then how is it going to get leaked? In some ways, the Bills are not a modern NFL team. They went 4 years, sorry Marv doesn't count, without a bonafide GM. For years, Wilson has been criticized by the media and fans for being cheap and making bad personnel decisions regarding coaches and the front office. His reaction to it is essentially, I'm the owner of the team and I'm going to do it my way. This organization has been in a decline for quite some time. Some people point to it starting when Kelly retired in 1996 i.e. no real solution to the QB position since his retirement. Others point to the playoff loss to Tennessee on Homerun Throwback. As a result of that game, the Bills fire special teams coach, Bruce DeHaven, and Wade Phillips hires his buddy, forget his name, who knew nothing about special teams. After one season, Wilson wanted Wade to fire the guy and Wade refused. Wade was fired by Wilson which has since triggered the coaching carousel every few years. Others point out that the Bills have always been a dysfunctional organization yet inexplicably made it to 4 straight Super Bowls. There may even be other thoughts on when this decline began. I look at the Tennessee playoff loss which triggered a series of bad decisions. In addition, the Bills had lost all of their on the field leadership by this time which has never been fully replaced. They have had some good players and leaders since but not enough of them and not enough talent. Hopefully, Buddy Nix as GM is the right answer and will get this organization turned around.

I was thinking the same thing! Referee Ben Dreiff (phonetic) called it. I think it was Marty Lyons of the Jets giving it to Kelly?
