Has anyone else noticed that the Bills haven't thrown to their RBs at all the past couple of weeks. I remember reading about how much work they put into it during the offseason, and we used it successfully in the opener.

a field goal on that drive would of been huge...they can't keep the texans in this game for too long

Our D has been getting solid pressure all day

BYRD AND NOW TO!!! GO BILLS!!

THIS IS INSANE!!! BYRD!!!!!

Freddy has always looked pretty slow, but he turns the corner better than Marshawn. His long stride just makes him appear slower on TV.

If Lynch doesn't want to run the ball then the Bills need to put Fred Jackson in.

Whitner isn't terrible in run defense, but he was on the field for the two big runs from last week. Donte was on the field for both of them, and the longest run was largely due to his late reaction on the play.

56 yards of total offense for the Bills....this is disgusting.

Until the Bills get a reliable QB this team will never be good. While Jauron is certainly a problem, he isn't the problem.

He is referring to players fitting up into their run gaps...which has been a big problem with the Bills this year. Mostly all of the big runs against the Bills this year have been due to the over-agressivness of our LBs and hesitation of our Safeties.

Like all fans, I have always gone crazy seeing the cushions our DBs give opposing receivers, but that isn't all on Perry Fewell. While there are obviously plays that require our DBs to play off, most of the time it is up to them when they are in man. Here was Perry's take on Leodis... “We didn't draft him to give 10 to 15-yard cushions,” Fewell said, recalling what he told the former No. 11 selection. “We drafted him so he can get up in their grill and be able to stay with a receiver.” http://www.tonawanda-news.com/buffalobills..._239215226.html

As much as I hate to say it, our GM situation is only a fraction of the problem. The Bills franchise is just like any corporation, in that if the top level managers rely on those underneath to provide reliable information. Currently, Russ Brandon is making decisions based off the info he is receiving from Modrak, Guy, and our pro scouts, and as we all know, this information sucks. Over the past 10 years the Bills have routinely taken the easy path and changed GMs, and all the while, the rest of our management hierachy remains untouched. While I am not against the Bills obtaining a new GM, promoting from within is going to pretty much ensure that those underneath will remain in their current positions. The Bills need a fresh face, someone who will come in, evaluate the entire Bills front office, and make the necessary changes. Here a couple of interesting links on GMs in the NFL. The main focus in the articles is placed on the GM - HC relationship. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/stor...&id=3389105 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/stor...&id=3396254 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/stor...&id=3387219

According to Thurman Thomas via Twitter, "They found it!!", and that's the story of how Thurman got his wood back.

How would it make the new HC's decisions easier. Are you assuming the Bills are going to fire Jauron and hire a new head coach midseason?? If the Bills fired Jauron now they would have to promote an assistant coach to interim head coach. While the chances of a top coach coming here this offseason are slim, there is zero chance a top coach (Cowher, Shanahan, Gruden) coming here midseason. Not to mention, all assistants for other teams are off limits, so once again....how will the HC's decisions be easier for 2010??? Also, like I said in my first post, I wouldn't mind seeing a proven GM brought in to get a head start on evaluating the team, so the offseason transition is a little less daunting. However, can you recall the last time this has happened??

Exactly. It's funny that a majority of the posters on here are convinced that the UFL is equal to high school ball, when in reality the level of competition is pretty solid.

I wasn't referring to Rodgers as a star QB, but if he isn't he is damn close. The guy threw for over 4,000 yards last year, had 28 tds to 13 ints, and a 93.8 rtg, and this year with an o-line as bad as Buffalo, not much different, actually better....1,098 yds, 6 tds, 1 int, 101.1 rtg. Those numbers may be wrong though because I must be high.

While comparing the NFL to the UFL talent wise is ridiculous, I truly feel that the level of competition in the UFL is greater than college ball. JP is not playing against ex D-III ball players out there, many of the starters in the UFL were good enough to either be drafted or signed by NFL ball clubs. JP wasn't the answer for the Bills, but many of you are making it seem like the UFL is all scrubs, which I dont believe to be true. What are some of your opinions regarding the level of competition in college compared to the UFL??

Let me get this straight....because Trent led the Bills to a 5-1 record at the start of last year and looked good doing it, he should therfore be our unquestioned starter the next season. Hey, Derek Anderson went to the Pro Bowl in '08...boy he sure looked good on Sunday. Trent has thrown many questionable passes this season even when given time. Losman looked good for one season and then regressed, as a result he got the boot. Trent Edwards is no different, nor should he be. Watch Aaron Rogers, Ben Roethlisberger, or any star QB...even when they don't have optimal protection they make a play. I.e; Eli Manning to David Tyree during Super Bowl XLII. Trent would have taken a sack or checked down. Or have you ever watched the Bills play the Jaguars?? It seems as if whenever we played Jacksonville the Bills just could not get a hand on Garrad, and even when they did they couldn't bring him down for a sack. A good quarterback extends plays, Trent checks down or takes a sack. In 28 games started Trent has yet to throw for over 300 yds, he will never be a game changer.

This article is spot on...firing Dick Jauron would only be a matter of principle and would make the situation even worse. I wouldn't mind seeing a proven GM brought in to get a head start on evaluating the team though, that way it would make the offseason transition a little less daunting. Can anyone recall if this has happened before??

haha....4 yards 10 seconds off the clock

trents gonna take a sack

Just f*%king cut Roscoe already!!

That is the only way trent has been able to move the downfield ball this season

The Browns saw that coming a mile away...
