VADC Bills

I'm am a little surprised by the cut. I thought Thigpen would be cut first. There is clearly a bond between Chan and Tyler. Making the move for Jackson clearly had an impact. Jackson makes Brad Smith somewhat expendable as well. Chan seems to take care of his past players no matter what, regardless of talent. This is the only reason I can see why Choice and Thigpen are still on the team. I think we are looking at what is to be the last year of the Chan Gailey era.

Is it to early to start the "Who will be the Bills head coach in 2013" threads. Quarterbacking and play calling have me concerned going into the season. I think we all know that Fitz isn't the guy (although I would love to think he is). I don't believe that Gailey is the guy either (Chan please prove me wrong). Preseason has not gotten me excited about the regular season though I am looking forward to it.

I guess the point is we all know we are going to have to get a QB. We have known this for years. It would be nice if Buddy factored this in one of his drafts. VY was not a bad move but spotty play from the QB position this year has to put Gailey in the hot seat.

Not sure how he is on talent but I'm still waiting for him to have a better season than Dick Jauron.

Fitz did have a good 3 game stretch last year ending with the Redskin game but he doesn't look like the pre-contract Fitz so far this preseason (granted it is just preseason). He looks like he did during the mysterious broken rib and just got paid part of last season. Keep in mind Fitz last 2 seasons in Buffalo are the only seasons in his career where he has thrown more touchdowns than inteceptions and last year he led the league in pic's only throwing one more touchdown than interception. Back to the original point I don't think we have the QB answer on the team but VY is looking much better than Thigpen at this point.

I agree, Vince needs the reps and he is the only QB in the Bills camp that I can see improving. This guy has the talent and the arm to get it done. He just needs to know the system better. I look at how Thigpen struggles against the other teams third unit and I compare him to a rookie like Kirk Cousins who is looking great, and he pales in comparison. By the way Fitz is still playing like he has a broken rib..how long does it take to heal?

He looks decent tonight. The more reps he gets the better he looks. I think you are referring to the first game and not this one.

Bath Salts. You just don't slap your mother even if she is a crack head. YOU DON'T SLAP YOUR MOTHER!!!

I like this one the best. But I like Bruce in there as well. Who says the Bills Mt Rushmore should be limited to 4.

Heck no. I like the way we have moved on. It was a win win for both sides.

No, we have just been so bad recently that a step up to average or above average (which has yet to be proven) makes us think we are better than what we have proven.

From Amherst (Within walking distance of Duff's) attended college in Washington DC. I now reside in Richmond VA (Glen Allen). I attend Bills games when they play the Redskins, Eagles or Ravens. I'm obviously a die hard fan because I'm on blogs like this one daily. Richmond is the first town I have lived in that doesn't have a professional sports team. What I would give for a Bocce's Pizza.

Would like to think it was Russell Wilson or a QB somewhere. How necessary was the TJ Graham pick? A QB here would have been less of a reach. No matter how good the team is, an injury to Fitz early in the season with Thigpen filling in will put their jobs in jeopardy as it should. The draft seemed good but time will tell. I think Buddy sleeps another year at QB. We are still extremely vulnerable and primed for another non playoff year if Fitz is injured. When Buddy was with San Diego they drafted Rivers when they had Brees??? Does he feel that Fitz does not need the competition that they felt Brees did?

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Miles better?? That remains to be seen I wouldn't be surprise to see him slip into the latter half of the first round (see Poz). We need depth at LB but I think we will go with a position of need where we need a day one starter, OT or WR and not a LB that will be a second string absolute stud providing we stay at 10.

I'm glad Donovan didn't want to come to the Bills but I was hoping that we would have addressed our QB issue better than what we have. Being close to the Washington Met it is very clear that the Shanahan's can not develop a QB. Hopefully they will be gone before they hurt RG3's career. McNabb/Shanahan duo was a disaster waiting to happen. The real problem being Kyle Shanahan. However focusing on the Bills, we need to address the QB issue this year, Fitz is not the long term answer and we have no backup for him. We will probably grab one in the rounds where we have extra picks depending on who is available.

I didn't realize Anderson and Gary had 2000 yards seasons. Maybe the success wasn't that equal after all...but the line did do a kick ass job. It's when I first heard of the zone blocking schemes.

+1 Broncos could do it without TD. Even when TD was on the bench against Green Bay, the Broncos fell behind and did not get the lead back until TD was able to resume.

NFL network said he had the best feet and lower body of top OT's outside of Kalil. You can you usually figure who Buddy is targeting by the players he interviews. Jonathan Martin, Andre Branch, Brian Osweiler, Chandler Jones. I would not be surprised if these players ended up in Bills uniforms. I can't figure what wr's or cb's they are targeting and a trade down scenario seems to be in order.

I was actually disappointed when I heard we were going after Meachem and happy when we didn't land him. He has been in NO for years and could never move up beyond Devery Henderson. Not a big play maker even with Brees throwing to him. We will be much better off with Floyd or Hill if we go that route in the draft. SD will miss VJ. I think Anderson is more proven in his position than Meachem. I'm cautiously happy with Anderson.

I wonder what Buddy has in mind regarding our lack of a backup QB. Especially after witnessing the Bears and the Texans last year as well as the the Bills (assuming Fitz's ribs were really hurt).

I agree but I am one of the few that thinks Roosevelt can be a good receiver. He has done nothing but make plays. Martin, Clowney and Jones can be replaced. Easley deserves a shot because he looked very good in Training camp last year but he is on the bubble.

Since we had the opportunity to sign Wake before he went to Miami and didn't, we should just cut Thigpen immediately. I'm sure we will eventually swallow our pride when Thigpen wins 5 straight super bowls and is voted the greatest football player of all time by everyone that says he sucks. All Bills fans will hang there head in shame as the HOF in Canton opens the new Thigpen wing.

Always a fan of the red helmet. When you see the red and white side by side the Buffalo is bigger on the red helmet, it's a better looking helmet. I like the white helmet with the blue jerseys but I wish we could at least have the red helmets with the white jerseys. The white helmets are straight out of Pops Warner.

The answer would be to cut Kelsey and keep both. But I would draft this year for depth at the guard position to prepare for Levitre potentially leaving. Byrd has made the pro bowl competing with Reed and Polamalu, Levetre is not quite there yet.
