Thursday's game is one that will determine if the Bills will be playing meaningful games in December or going for 8-8 at best. KC was a tough loss but the next two games are very winable. Win the next two and see what happens down the stretch. Lose either of the next two games and its hard to see the team doing anything meaningful. Really could have used a win against KC.

If you play sloppy enough where you make a few bad calls matter then you are making a huge gamble that the refs might screw you.

Bingo again. Marrone needs to realize he is dealing with professionals who won't respond to that college stuff on a certain level. Being a disciplinarian can be good but that is different on the NFL level.

Not a good week, but the season still has some life in it. Lets see how the year ends before examining everyone.

Plus too didn't Cyrus come in as a RT during camp? Seems like he would need at least a few weeks to learn the playbook and start to grasp the nuances of the position. Not surprising they needed sometime to work him and get him up to speed. It is an indictment on the staff that they waited the first few weeks of the season to start to transition him to guard.

Was a top 10 receiver for a good period of his career. 4 thousand yard seasons, one 100 reception season. And he did all that with no QB's (Maybe Bledsoe for half a year). Flutie, RJ, Van Pelt, Bledose past his prime, and Losman. Not exactly a murders row of QB's.

How much of a down grade could Cyrus be over Pears? I would rather toss Cyrus out there for a game or two to just see what he has and give him a chance to improve and be better than Pears. Pears is one of the worst guards in the NFL currently, Cyrus even if he is just as bad stands the chance to improve. If Urbik can just be solid at guard and Cyrus a little better than Pears than our guard situation will have improved a lot.

They are on a hot streak, lets see how they look over the next few weeks before things get crazy.

He has played really well this year and the parts are in place to have a good run with him.

Destiny is in this teams hands. You beat KC you got the tie breaker over them, you beat Miami again you have the tie breaker over them, and if you beat Cleveland you have the tie breaker over them. at 5-3 the time is now to start to really string some wins together. We could see what this team really is made of, you want to make the playoffs you got to win. To be the man you gotta beat the man.

My only hope for the O-line is that Urbik gives them solid play at guard and the coaching staff is able to really game plan to work around their weaknesses. Hopefully coming off of a bye the staff is able to come up with a gameplan to protect Orton and get the ground game going.

Byrd played pretty good when he was here. The Saints payed top dollar for him and he struggled early and then got hurt. Good for him that he has some guaranteed money next season.

Donahoe was a weird GM, for every good move he made (London, Spikes, Peerless Price trade, Clements, Schobel, and Adams) he made 2 bad ones (Letting Pat Williams go, Losman trade, drafting Willis, Mike Williams pick, both of his coaching hires, ignoring the offensive line when you had a pocket passer, and Josh Reed among others). He made lots of both types of moves, more bad than good for sure. Only thing I liked about his tenure was that he was able to bring good free agents to the team something that wasn't done from 2006 till the Mario signing.

Fitz has been what he was, a mediocre QB. The Texans defense and ground game is pretty good, so maybe they just want to spark the team with Mallet. A bye week is always optimal to bring a major change. 4-5 they need to turn things around quick if they want to make a run at the playoffs, QB play has been subpar so why not make the change?

Pats* beating Denver that badly was shocking but I still think Denver is the better team. Gronk is due for an injury and Peyton just played a bad game. Bills at home being an underdog is weird who cares just win.

The Steelers beat the Ravens and the AFC North is going to produce a lot of wildcard competition so it didn't really matter who won that game. Browns, Pats*, and Fins winning hurt. But the way I see it is we play the Chiefs, Fins, and Browns. We win those games it makes the path to the wildcard much easier. To be the man you gotta beat the man.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves. Lets just hope Sammy can be an AJ Green/Dez Bryant type receiver where he has a presence in every game and has to be accounted for.

Mario was looked at as a bust his rookie year. Its not always instant. If he wants the big dollars he is going to play hard and try to produce.

I would say Sammy. If Orton gets hurt EJ could step in, not sure if Mike Williams and Robert Woods would really be able to step up in the absence of Sammy.

The O-line is pretty weak at guard. But Orton holding onto the ball might be inflating sack totals. Granted he is getting pressured and knocked around, but Orton isn't that mobile and he likes to hold onto the ball. Those things all are going to lead to sacks. But I am hoping that Urbik helps the LG position going forward and maybe at RG we can get Cyrus to help out. Once Urbik and Cyrus get their chance there, there really isn't anything else on the roster they can go to.

Orton is OK, might have to stick with him for a couple of seasons unless they go back to EJ. If you go with Orton you better pony up big money for Dareus and Huges as you are going to need to have a dam good defense.

Bills defense matches up well against them (Able to stop the run). The Bills offense on the other hand doesn't matchup well against their defense. Overall its a weird match-up. Should be a defensive struggle where the team that turns it over least will win. I like the Bills chances but its not a slam dunk.

The Internet She isn't that big of star, country music is surprisingly popular in this area (I am sure it much more popular elsewhere). Its got enough of a following around here to where if she was actually a big deal people would give a !@#$ about here.

The last drive or two of a blowout yeah he should get the snaps. But I guess getting Orton who has only been with the team a couple of months some snaps still has some purpose.

I think you could survive Searcy and Spikes. Dareus will be franchised. So Hughes is the big time guy you would need to work on an extension.
