  1. I certainly hope the Jets crash and burn, and I don't think Geno will do much, but as a Bills' fan, before I go bagging on the Jets or any other team, I want the Bills to do something, you know, like make the playoffs for the first time in an eternity. Given Buddy's crappy drafting I'm going to hold my tongue and see how this crop of draftees perform before bashing anyone else's draft acumen.
  2. Getting rid of Gailey was an absolute necessity. At some point you'd have to fire him since he is an incompetent head coach (and I'm not so sure he was a great coordinator either, after all the Chiefs dumped him just before the regular season started), so whatever year period the firing starts it is better to start it now rather than one or two years down the road. Nix also needs to go. His drafts have been mediocre at best and his handling of the QB position has been atrocious. I'm sure Gailey is a nice guy, but you have to wonder what the heck he was thinking when he said he done a turn around at two other places. His work with the Cowboys was not generally considered a success (fired after two years), nor was his tenure at Georgia Tech (again, fired after a bunch of middling seasons. He wasn't successful as a head coach ever, and aside from a decent last half of the 2010 season and a good start to the 2011 season the Bills have looked terrible under Gailey. 7-19 in the last 26 games speaks volumes about what direction Gailey was taking the Bills. Like I said, he may be a nice guy, but praise the Lord the clown is gone as the Bills' head coach.
  3. Pittsburgh got bit by the injury bug this year, Tomlin is a good coach and they'll be back. Saints will regroup after this year, and only the Chiefs and the Jets are likely to be clearly worse. If Gailey is the coach, 5 wins max, perhaps 4 if Rancid Futzpathetic is the QB. With a new coach and a new QB, they might make a play for 7. The tragedy of this year is the wasting of an incredibly easy schedule. I'm sure Gailey and Nix are nice guys who might make good company over a beer, but they are horribly over their heads in their present positions and the Bills' fans have been royally screwed over by the ineptness of this organization once again.
  4. Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding - we have a winner here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  5. So the Bills have a suicide wish?
  6. Ok, my mistake. Still, if you are never going to use him, why give up any draft pick or pay TJ a bloody dime? It was an impulse move that was simply stupid.
  7. I wish someone could explain to me why the Bills gave up a 4th round draft pick, plus spent a cool $3M on Mr. Jackson. What grand plan did Buddy Nix have when he made that brilliant move? An organization rots from the head down. It's been rotted at the top for a long time, and the rot has sunk down to the GM and the Head Coach. It also infects the QB.
  8. Nix is responsible for bringing the talent. The Bills have no QB even close to an NFL caliber starter, they have low quality receivers, linebackers, corners and safeties, the drafts have been mediocre at best, and Nix has supported Gailey, who is just a bumbling clownish joke as a head coach. Sorry, the old man doesn't get my vote. As for Gailey, obviously only people who are brain dead could support him.
  9. I don't blame the schedule for the Bills' suckitude. That's on a lousy organization including an inept head coach. However, NE does get a break by being the visitor in a neutral site game. At least it was the Rams, who NE would probably beat anyhow, but nonetheless, it is unfair.
  10. It just goes to show how bad Gailey, Nix, Fitz and the defense are. The Titans can't beat the Colts at home, but are able to beat the Bills in Buffalo. I just don't know what the knuckleheads at One Bills Drive were thinking when they hired Gailey. He is an awful head coach.
  11. Apparently you haven't watched the Bills' QB the past season and a half. The chronic inaccuracy. The stupid decisions (especially puzzling coming from a Harvard guy). The decidedly unNFL like arm. Oh wait, perhaps you were taking about your posts. Never mind.
  12. I'm not saying Jackson will succeed. In fact, I think it is highly unlikely he will (with that clown Gailey as HC anyone on this team will struggle to succeed). However, we KNOW Fitz will not succeed, so even if Jackson being a capable starter is only 10%, that is a 10% higher chance than with Fitzputrick at the helm. If he flames out, the Bills are not in any worse position than if they had stuck with Ditz. Of course, given the utter ineptitude of this organization, they won't make any decision that works out. A team that hires a first time GM who is already on Medicare and a head coach who flopped in both the pros and college, and starts a QB who has never shown starting QB talent is not destined to ever make the playoffs, let alone challenge for a championship. Losses are one thing, utter stupidity is another.
  13. If I'm wrong about the difficulty of learning the position then I'm wrong, but the point remains, why the heck wasn't he active? All but two other receivers who were drafted in the first five rounds that weren't injured made their team's active roster (and of the other two, one was likely held out to insure health and the other had injury problems in camp and just fell far behind. Given the deplorable state of the Bills' receiving corp, you certainly expect that a receiver with even a modicum of talent would be on the active roster. Either the coaching staff is stupid, or Graham was picked far too early in the draft. Perhaps both.
  14. I have to shake my head at anyone who is surprised the Bills are constantly outcoached. Gailey has failed at each of his head coaching jobs, pro and college, and he was fired as an OC by the Chiefs just before the first game of the 2009 season. For some reason he has developed a reputation as an offensive guru, but it baffles the mind. Even if he were an offensive genius, it is clear he is not up to the task of head coach. Just the latest in a long line of cheap a$$ hires as head coach, that, in short order, are shown to be bumbling clowns.
  15. It speaks volumes that Graham wasn't on the active roster for the game. Wide receiver is probably the easiest position for a rookie to play, and a 3rd round pick should at least be able to make the active roster, particularly given Johnson's gimpy groin and the low level of talent in the other receivers. I am sick to death of stupid draft picks by the doddering senior citizen Buddy Numbskull.
  16. Fitz sucking is about as surprising as the Sun rising in the East, so it has to be the defense. Apparently Wannstadt thought the front four was so great he didn't put in any plays to apply pressure to the QB. The whole thing is just a clusterfluck, with apologies to all clusterflucks out there.
  17. how much of Williams' money is guaranteed?
  18. All evidence to the contrary. I'm flabbergasted that anyone thinks Fitz is the answer to any question other than "which QB gives their team the least bang for the buck?" Signing him to a contract extension last year was simply the dumbest decision a GM could have made. It wasn't like he was going to go anywhere midseason. Nix and Gailey are complete and utter clowns.
  19. Actually, QB is absolutely a top priority next week. Unfortunately, Numbskull Nix and Clueless Chan have made addressing that priority impossible.
  20. To the extent that Ralph is responsible for hiring clowns like Nix and Gailey, I would agree. He has paid for talent, it's just that his Front Office and coaching staff wouldn't know talent if it crawled up their arses and let off a cherry bomb.
  21. I'm not so sure. This surely hurts more, plus you add the chest pains from the anger at having to endure another horrendous season.
  22. Where are all the pollyannas who thought 11-5 was possible? The preseason was a harbinger of things to come.
  23. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
  24. Wow, I guess Gailey's track record of ineptitude does have some relevance after all. Who would of thought that a coach who has a proven record of mediocrity would turn out to be a lousy coach for the Bills.
  25. nothing like tearing the heart out of your fans in the first 16 minutes of the game. All I ask is for one more good year for the Bills. But it never ever changes. Terrible drafts, lousy coaching, questionable personnel decisions. How could anyone think Fitz is a starting QB in the NFL.
