we have a championship run every 25 years: 1964, 1965 (25 years) 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993 (25 years) 2018, 2019, 2020

can he claim a "thorough assessment" both times ?

nonsense. johnny football gives them the best chance to win. hoyer is stinking up the joint. the real reason, is once they switch, there's no going back with out causing serious longer term problems. hoyer is the safer decision.

INsecure

2 playoff appearances in 10 years is not a "winner". lets just say, we had the success of new England.....14 straight winning seasons.....then heck yea it would have been packed. btw, each and every game was an official sellout anyways. but a perennial winner would have made a completely different vibe. for starters, a lot more fans from the states would have went.

if it wasn't for Robert Woods spectacular catches, Orton would be back on the bench.

(((((((((((( group hug )))))))))))))))

#1- Orton sucks (at best mediocre). #2- the Oline with Urbik at LG has been a huge improvement. #3- TE's are the weak link on offense. not getting much from chandler and smith in catches or blocking. that new TE looked like a superstar compared to those two clowns.

much more simple new fans gravitate to winners. we sent them losers.

this is true.... without going over the entire issue, I accepted it as a necessary evil, if it meant keeping the bills in buffalo. i'm glad our new deep pocketed owners don't feel the need to continue it.

the stars continue to align for the buffalo faithful. first season in a long time it truly feels like we are headed in the proper direction.

it's official

it's 90% mental, the other half is physical - yogi

BEST D-LINE in bills history. average LB's average secondary.

they will never punish their own. they will never respect one another. they will be dragged kicking and screaming all the way through any and all rule changes. using them as bargaining chips even though its for their own good. it wouldn't surprise me if half the NFL players already have signs of brain injury BEFORE they ever played a down in the NFL.

when manning looks into Mario's eyes..... fear will set in.... look for peyton to fall to the ground and give himself up.

the 2015 draft class is expected to have 2 QB's go in the first 10 picks of the first round. Mariota and Winston.

regarding this topic. it seems to me that any player who is on the wall of fame would be a perfect candidate to find employment with the bills as an ambassador of sorts. meet and greets , appearances, schmooze fans, stopping by suites, walking the concourse, interacting with the fans, autographs etc... part time gig for about $50,000 per year.

some folks have hours to enjoy this site, others a few minutes. things get missed. seriously, your fantastic, I enjoy reading your comments.

for all the good you do to make TBD a better place you really need to lighten up on constantly reminding others a subject is covered in another thread.

great hire

so, to summarize..... #1- no matter where the bills pick in the draft, there will be a better player at another position that should be picked instead of a QB. #2- all the possible free agent QB's in 2015 are garbage. #3- it's not whaley's fault. (laffin)

kim pegula thinks it a good idea to draft a QB every single year. that's refreshing.....to bad she wasn't in charge earlier. we have a big hole to dig out of. as far as running cover for whaley since 2013..... it's true, no viable Top 20 free agent QB was an option. he swung and missed on Kolb (best available). he swung and missed on Orton (best available). naturally we pick a QB in the 1st round of 2013 in a draft that had no first graded QB's. in 2014 we picked kouanjio instead of garrapolo in the 2nd round. could have traded down and picked manziel in the first. in 2015, I like Ryan Mallett and Colt McCoy in Free Agency.

we're on to Appellate court

oh yea, I forgot to mention penalties. for this game hughes behaved himself and I give him credit for drawing those holding calls on Thomas. for the season, hughes is a mental midget. hughes, bradham, A. Williams, lee smith and spikes are on the bills top 5 all-dumb team for stupid selfish penalties. hughes is like jairus byrd part II. everyone looks at the turnovers & sacks (which are huge) but ignore all the other weaknesses. hughes has 3 forced fumbles and zero passes batted down to go along with his 9.5 sacks. someone like Searcy has 2 forced fumbles and 3 interceptions and doesn't get the same recognition as hughes. hughes is a nice player, but he is NOT on the same level as Mario, kyle and dareus.
