noplayoffsagain

right..play more rookies...thats how you win in the NFL. Team is a freakin joke... They are about as irrelevant as it gets in the league, mine as well take away the best offensive player they have on a team ranked near the bottom in all offensive categories. I wish they would just leave town....

very simple....they have an owner who wants to win and is willing to spend money to do so, unlike who we have here in Buffalo...Looks like the Sabres are gonna end up spending more in payroll than the Bills. Im not saying spending equals success all the time, but there were impact players available at positions we needed this year... When was the last time the Bills had a legitimate NFL tight end..Zach Miller or even Greg Olsen would have been a huge upgrade at the position. And tackle, obviously Clabo has been mentioned over and over. But thats another need position that the Bills cheaped out on. I know, I know, they like their guys...Heard it over and over again..Maybe they will get 50 catches total out of all their TE's combined.

ahhh.the eternal Bills optomist.....News flash,they never get their guy....Who wants to come here...Anytime the money is anywhere close they will lose out on a player..They will eventually get a "B" player and overpay, or give the "B" players they have like Kelsay extensions to use up the cap space and at least get to the cap floor...team is a joke.

my thoughts exactly...well said How about you go get a guy that can tackle someone or stop the other team from scoring instead of doing these "cute" little moves...Getting Spiller or a Brad Smith are moves that good teams can do to make themsleves elite, not for bad teams trying to become relevant in the league

are you freakin kidding me? why is there so much negativity? were you asleep the past decade? bad year last year, how about bad decade..... we will have a better defense that you cant run against....c'mon man...wake up. how can you even believe what you are writing. Poz, Mitchell and ? at LB, that sure puts fear into the NFL. And our DT will be a rookie, and our ends suck......Jauron sucked, i agree...But all we got is a retread that couldnt catch on as an NFL head coach in a decade. playoffs? maybe in about 5 years.....right now you can just enjoy seeing everyday how they have signed another 3 undrafted FA's while the Jets are adding Cromartie/Holmes and LT and the Dolphins are adding Dansby/Marshall and the Pats are the Pats and wonder how they will compete.....

I actually laughed at this we beat the jets last year with our crappy coach,oline and qbs. we should have beat new england that first game. we could do it again. you have NO idea if our coach is good,great or bad yet. he could very well be awesome. And lastly, this team has plenty of talent to be good this year. I think you are just way too negative. I totally disagree with lots you say here but especially that gailey wont be a massive upgrade over jauron. ANYBODY,would be an upgrade over him. cant you guys just support our new team and coaches. they all want the same thing we do. Don't you think they deserve at least a year to see what they do and how they coach. the off season is not even over yet. we still may get more free agents,someone for the lt. to be so frickin down on the team in April is just so pathetic to me. why even bother watching the games if were going to be that horrible? You know how many times we "should have beat NE" the past decade...amazing how we never do, right... I hated Jauron as a coach...he was the definition of mediocrity...However, i have no faith that Gailey is the upgrade you say he is..and neither have any other NFL teams the past decade, or he would have had a head coachng job within that time. How many GM's or team presidents have passed on him as a coach that know a lot more about football than you or i do. How can you call him a massive upgrade? what are you basing it on? Im sorry but i dont support this team blindly any more. That time has run its course. They have had 10+ yrs to get it right and have failed miserably. You people with your rose colored glases kill me

Look man, The Division they play in is the AFC East....You know... with the JETS, who are probably one of the top 3 teams in the league. And the Patriots are still the Patriots, they stilll have Brady, and they still have Belichick who always out coaches any guy the Bills have...thats 0-4 and its not even close...if you think they are taking 1 of those games you are nuts. Miami, maybe a split at best. All 3 teams have made significant improvements to their team and have owners and management who are accountable, willing to spend what it takes to win, and have far superior coaching. As far as no logic, look around you....Where is the talent on this team. You looking forward to another year of Trent at QB? is that progress for the team? do they even have a real NFL 2nd WR on their roster. They had the worst OL in the league by a mile and they did what to help it? Add another Raider cast off and what? get real man. we all want them to win but it aint happening now or any time soon. And as far as easier schedule, i just dont see it......after the 6 divison games i see clear losses vs Pitt/GB/Balt/CincyMinn....Cleveland beats us every year. I love what Detroit has done this off season/draft. KC is always tough to play at, etc.... And massive upgrade at coaching? Who is their D Coord? a college guy, just like the head coach...the same head coach who's hasnt been an NFL head coach in over a decade, a guy who had 1 job and had to go to college to get another HC gig. just because we all hated Dick jauron and wanted him gone doesnt make Gailey a massive upgrade at HC....it makes him next in line of below avg head coaches the bills have had since Levy left town.... like i said 4-10 or 5-11, im sure you wont look me up in January when it comes to be...

You cant be serious....I guess we are all Bills fans, but 11-5.....with that team? have you seen the roster? and the division they play in? mark me down for 4-12, possibly 5-11 with an 0-6 record in the East. No way im drinking that kool aid any more. Show me who's QBing the team. Tell me who is stopping the run on that team. Show me that they will have a legitimate NFL player playing either tackle position on the OL. The team is a joke in the NFL. Kind of sad that their 2 best players are probably both going to be RB's.

Wow, i couldnt have said it better myself....except i do live in western NY. I love the "odd curiosity" term....This team was a great passion of mine for many years, now i feel like i only watch and follow them due to some obligation because i live here. They have ripped out of me all the love i had for the team. Sad

High character guys? Who cares, as long as they win. Do you want a 4th place team in the East full of nice guys or a winning team with some character issues...And i got news for all you Bills fans that feel that way, as long as we got guys like Lynch, Whitner, etc on this team, we dont have a bunch of Boy Scouts either Look, the Bills are a joke, and they are falling farther and farther behind the rest of the AFC East every day.. They are the Orioles or Blue Jays in the AL East dealing with the Yanks and Sox. They have no chance

I disagree totally....The reason why the Colts, Steelers and Pats make the playoffs is Manning, Rothlisberger and Brady. thats why. Now dont get me wrong i know they all drafted those QB's, but that was many years ago..They are always drafting in the bottom of the 1st rd and dont have access to "elite" talent through the draft. THey got their QB, then added pieces through FA (example in NE R Moss, W Welker, R Harrison, A Thomas) Now i know many people bring up Walker and Dockery as reasons to avoid FA...just because the Bills miss on most of their FA's doesnt mean FA is something to avoid

In Buffalo, they arent even a factor in it. Before you guys say its only 36 hours into free agency......look around, all the impact players are signing. Who is left that can help a team with such inferior talent at so many positions...A team that continues to run Elllison out there at LB, then they run safeties out at LB...they do everything except get a LB to play LB. For those of you that believe building through the draft is the way to go, i feel its part of the process, but you have to supplement it with some good FA's. The Bills dont have extra picks, its not like they have 2 1st or 2nd rd picks that can speed up the building process. They have the same amount of picks that almost all other teams have. So there is no competitive advantage for them there. What makes it even more annoying and frustrating is the teams management..I guess Nix deserves the benefit of the doubt for now, but last year, where was Russ Brandon? I think i heard 1 interview from the guy all year during the season. They fired Jauron through a press release, what real NFL team would do that and not have the GM/Pres or owner speak. WE have 1 sports radio station in Buffalo, and as much as i dont care for a lot of things DArcy Rieger does, at least he does a weekly radio show on WGR and so does Ruff. Let the fans hear your thoughts, the reasons why you choose to do certain things.... Bills are a freakin joke, i dont know how people buy tickets for that crap.

If i were the Bills, hell ya...in a heartbeat

My first thought, based on their popularity and the fact that i bet they want to change it up and go more modern would be The Black Eyed Peas I think as someone mentioned Bon Jovi would be a poplular choice One other possibility would be a country theme......Tim McGraw/Kenny Chesney/ Toby Keith/Keith Urban

freakin classic....so true

I thought the same thing the other day when i saw him on TV.. I always liked him, he had a lot of passion. Then i looked at his coaching record...Not very impressive

Report: Frazier favorite for Bills head coach According to SI.com's Jim Trotter, Vikings defense coordinator Leslie Frazier is the clubhouse leader for the Bills head coaching job. Frazier reportedly "blew away" new Bills GM Buddy Nix in his interview. He employs the same Tampa 2-style defense that Perry Fewell ran, so he wouldn't have to completely rebuild on that side of the ball. Trotter also reports that Frazier will still interview in Seattle because Pete Carroll has not been promised full control of the Seahawks. Jan. 9 - 12:34 pm et Source: Jim Trotter on Twitter Typical Bills hire....get the cheap coordinator with no experience or the cheap head coach(Jauron) that no one else wants... Nix and Wilson talked about wanting experience in a head coach....like all of what Ralph feeds us, its garbage. I just hope it isnt a money issue for Cowher, or Cowher not getting assurances on how much the Bills will spend on players like was being reported. if they wanted an inexperienced Head Coach, why not Jim Harbaugh???

i've been embarassed to be a Bills fan for about 10 years. Today is just another great example.....Thanks for TO, good luck to Trent in trying to get the ball to him...And how do you not get the 20th pick from Philly? No clue as usual on One Bills Dr

Typical Bills move. No clue as always. Great, you got yourselves a nice toy in TO, but Trent won't have a chance to get the ball downfield to him...His head was on a swivel with Peters...Who is blocking for him? Over/under on starts by Fitzpatrick after Trent gets injured..I say 5

John, how can you say that you don't agree with most of what i said, but then say you fault the team for not signing a Guard, and then a LB. That is EXACTLY what I said. I feel the same as you, you just named the names of the guys available. But my point is that Cato June, Goff or Simmons are NOT on the Bills roster...Neither is Crowell, Keiaho, Peterson, or any other player they brought in for a visit. They havent done enough to make the team a playoff team.

No, that's the problem RIP, i am a Bills fan...A huge one. But i am disgusted with this team over the past 10 years. In a salary cap league there is no reason a team should go 10 years without making the playoffs.

Don't get me wrong, i love the pickup of TO.....But now time has gone by and it's settiled in, and I dont see how this team is much better than last year. With or without Peters, our offensive line is very suspect. They cut Dockery and they had no center on the roster, and all they've done is bring in this Hangartner guy..I'm not very confident in the whole line. If you are going to cut Dockery, then get someone in here BETTER than Dockery. If not don't make another hole on your roster that you cant fill, when you arent getting much salary cap relief by releasing him. Pre Crowell injury which was a few days before the season, a LB core last year of Crowell, Poz and Mitchell is better than Poz, Mitchell and ?Thomas? I feel LB is a glaring need of this team. Especially with the Def Line the Bills have. And they havent done anything at DE either. Who is getting to the QB on this roster? I'd also take Jabari Greer over Florence...And im not sure it's that close. Greer was their best cornerback last year. Royal wasn't great, but he was better than what they have now...By the way, what is with the Bills and TE's? Why can't they ever get a decent option at the position? Their 1st and 2nd round picks in the draft should help 2 of the areas of need. Unless they draft another Hardy or McCargo... Even at QB, i'm no fan of Losman at all, but i think i'd rather have him than Fitzpatrick...At least he'd be able to throw up air balls to TO and Evans all day if Trent got hurt... The question is....Is TO and basically nothing else, leaving all the holes they have left unfilled, a successful year in FA? or would they have been better off without 1 year of TO, and instead getting a LB and C in here, and adding a Galloway or Toomer at WR. I feel if they were serious about improving the team, especially after they lured TO in to a 1 year deal, they would have went and signed a Crowell and maybe a Birk and really took a run at it this year. As they stand now, i see TO as a 1 year distraction to the fans as the team settles for another .500 season

This better not be their idea of a starting LB..... Man, Crowell would have been looking good right now

Great post...when I saw Crowell signed with TB i thought the same thing. Crowell would have filled a big hole and he was the best available LB. Great Bills, you signed TO.....WE are all thrilled...But lets get on with the show.... Too many holes to fill to think the draft will the be the answer. You teased us with TO, but if you dont address the void at OL, DL, TE and LB it will all be for nothing
