My brother-in-law is a diehard Vikes fan, born & raised in North Dakota. I really feel for him. What a family of winners we are...a combined 0-8 in Super Bowls.

Wow! What a way to to lose...

The Steelers are the antithesis of the Bills. Get into the playoffs only because the Bills win a meaningless game for them then have a playoff game gifted to them by the sheer stupidity of the Bengals. Does anyone think that if the roles were reversed those things happen for the Bills? Not a chance in hell. BTW, Cincy...you're a disgrace.

Come on, Bill. You're better than this. I know you can't stand the Bills taking a DB in the 1st Round but the fact of the matter is that it's just not true. Buddy Nix is long gone. In their last six drafts, the Bills have selected a DB just once in the 1st Round: 2010 (RB), 2011 (DT), 2012 (CB), 2013 (QB), 2014 (WR), & 2015 (no 1st Round pick). Darby was their first selection last year but not until the 2nd Round and nobody is complaining about that. So they've taken two DBs with their first selection in the last six years which netted them their starters and one of the better CB tandems in the league. Nothing to complain about. IMO, the play here is to try and re-sign Gilmore, if possible. If he walks, you are looking at another 1st Round DB (or lesser FA signing). Like it or not, it's a passing league and Rex's D is predicated on his DBs.

Haha! No doubt...but at least he was good for a laugh. You had to laugh to keep from crying during his tenure.

It was actually, "It took the sails right out of our wind." Here are some other great Hank Bullough malaprops: http://articles.latimes.com/1988-02-12/sports/sp-28412_1_hank-bullough

Or one easy pick six drop early in the game that would've made a Thompkins TD catch irrelevant. Stuff happens.

These are especially applicable to us long-suffering Bills fans, IMO: "It's not whether you get knocked down; it's whether you get up." - Vince Lombardi "The only way to prove that you're a good sport is to lose." - Ernie Banks

Rex finally stops being the constant obsession of the NYC media and the bitter clowns at SNY.

I wish they'd hire John Gruden just to get him off of MNF. Ugh.

Rex wants to get intel from Hankerson on how his Pats* managed to beat the Jest yesterday. Oh, wait....

Agreed. It's a real shame. I wonder if this will push him towards retiring earlier than he'd planned?

Bingo! Bill Polian as consultant to the Bills = much better septuagenarian gig than Wal-Mart greeter. #thanksforthememories #notneeded

Anna Benson, anyone? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Benson

The really sad thing is, I wouldn't be at all shocked if at least half of those idiots were posters on this board.

Agreed. I'm not so sure why people have such a hard-on for Jim Schwartz as HC. His last two years as Tennessee's DC were excellent (5th & 7th overall) which led to his hiring as Detroit's HC...where he turned in a miserable 29-51 record. His defenses while the Lions' HC? 2009 (32nd overall), 2010 (21st), 2011 (23rd), 2012 (13th), & 2013 (16th). In his lone year as the Bills' DC, his defense was 4th. So as a DC, sure. As a HC, no way. His teams were undisciplined and suffered from poor clock management. And, as a somebody else mentioned, he was a bit of an asshat as the head honcho. Sound familiar? Wade & Greggo can coach D, too, but I don't want them running my team. Same with Schwartz and same with Rex. Unfortunately, we're stuck with Rex...or so it would seem. May the Schwartz not be with you, Buffalo.

Yes, although any of them would pale in comparison to a Bills Super Bowl victory. MLB: NY Mets CFB: Alabama Crimson Tide

"It's hard to challenge in the NFL..."

Yes. He was undergoing the "concussion protocol" on the sideline after he came out of the game.

Regression to the mean.

Used my Chromebook and Chromecast to stream to my 55 inch HDTV via WiFi. Great picture, no problems. Picture denegrated to non-HD briefly (less than a minute or so) in the 2nd half and then corrected itself. No complaints other than the outcome of the game.

Rex Ryan...defensive genius my a$$. That juggernaut Jacksonville offense is way too hard to stop....obviously.

Thanks for sharing, Amanda. Like many others, I am seeing this for the first time. Thoughts and prayers to you, your family, and especially our dad. Godspeed, Bill. Get well soon and get back to the board.
