The more interesting thing to me is what happens when Mr. Wilson passes. How quickly do his heirs move to unload the team? What role does the NFL and Goodell take? Will a new owner immediately fire everyone and bring in a whole new front office? Or will they come armed with consultants to study the situation and decide on a path to take? I think these unanswered questions make this team a destination that many players and coaches avoid. In some respect working for the Bills must be a little like Cleveland in 95. While the Browns had the known uncertainty of moving to Baltimore, the Bills have the unknown uncertainty of what will happen with the team when Mr Wilson passes which sadly is something that could happen anytime at his advanced age. All I can say is that he better not be missing his flu shot.

I drive an '04 Altima. The driver's side door handle is broken and so is the rear passenger. It has 184,000 kms (115,000 miles for my American brothers and sisters). I'm rolling on winter rims and Michelin X-Ice 2s and have a pair of top of the line Britax kid seats in the back. I recently had metal welded to the floor so that I wouldn't look like Fred Flintstone driving around. The best feature...it's paid for.

The way Mario and Kyle were sniping at each other on the sidelines suggests to me that the team is totally gone. This may come down to a decision to fire the coach in order to actually sell out some games next year. I think we could be in for serious blackouts with Chan back in the drivers seat again. This will be a fiscal rather than a football decision. If eating Chan's contract is less than the income lost from the number of people choosing not buy seasons then Chan is gone. If fans are willing to give these Bills another chance with Tom Cable (or another suitably cheap and desperate HC) it will happen.

Four games this season the Bills gave up 45 points or more. That is unacceptable. Wanny should be fired tomorrow and Gailey should be fired on New Years Day.

Jin: two decades takes us back to a Superbowl appearance. I'll give you worst since 99.

If they get him for close to nothing maybe bring him in to compete.
I think we all know we need a highly rated prospect to groom.
What I don't understand is TJack...why even acquire him if he doesn't dress? Couldn't we've kept VY and done the exact same.
-
He might be the best I've ever seen too. But the yapping to the refs is Sidney Crosby like. Terrible.

Bring back Jauron or Gregg Williams.

I have been saying it to all of my friends and colleagues for the past 3 or 4 years: this team won't be good until there is a new owner. You can't attract top flight people with an extremely old owner and no succession plan. These NFL coaches get, at best, two shots. Why, unless you are Chan or Jauron or another poorly regarded coach, would you take a chance on the Bills only to have the carpet yanked out from beneath you when new ownership comes in?
I believe it was Bill Parcell that once said you are what your record says you are. We are a 6-10 team period. Whether its coaching or talent, whatever we are a 6 -10 team. We all felt a lump in our throats when Nix announced Gailey was the coach because we knew he was not a ready for prime time player. We went along because we are die hard Bills fans and we were hoping for the best.
It's time to end this hillbilly hoe down and get some one that is smart and hungry to win as a GM and coach. With this regime we have different faces on the field giving us worse results than before.
Who is coming here with no ownership succession in place, and extremely old owner, and one year left on the stadium lease? This team won't be good until competent ownership takes over.

Average to below average.
Definitely worse (regardless of stage of career): Sanchez/Tebow, Gabbert, Locker, Weeden, Palmer, Quinn/Cassel, Foles, Skelton/Lindley/unhealthy Kolb
Probably comparable (depending on the day, most of these guys are pretty inconsistent...just like Fitz): Hasselbeck, Henne, Tannehill, Dalton, Vick (2012 version), Ponder, Newton, Bradford, Wilson, healthy Kolb
Great analysis. Spot on!

WHAT THE H*LL ARE YOU SMOKING ?? This guy as with most all of the recent QB's that have come out of USC are mediocre at best NO NO & NO we need to get our own QB preferably from the SEC T . WIlson , Bray any one but a USC or california QB !!
Remember the last california QB we had HE SUCKED !! Again , NO NO & HELL NO !!!!
Besides with Alex Smith , Mike Vick & Matt Moore possibly being available at the end of this year why pull that trigger & what makes Braylon Edwards a great evaluator of QB talent ??
Matt Flynn? Seattle doesn't need him with Russell Wilson as the heir apparent. I wouldn't overpay but bring him in as competition for Fitz?
-
I would not touch Sanchez with a ten foot pole. Not as a starter, not as a backup. Worst starting QB in the AFC east. Won because of the Rex Ryan defensive system and a better running attack. I want a backup that is young with an unknown ceiling. Sanchez is not a starter. Neither is Braylon Edwards. Fitz is barely a starter himself but I would still take Fitz over Sanchez.
-
If we want a top flight guy like Luck or RG3 we should trade up and pay the price. We have been picking consistently in the top 13 picks and missing if you want a guy pay up and move up. For an RG3 or Luck I would give away three firsts in addition to a swap. Washington gave up two firsts and no one is complaining and likely never will.
-
How awesome would it be to have a QB situation like San Fran where your head coach can BENCH a starter who's what, 21-6 in his last 27 starts for a guy who he likes better?
IN THE MIDDLE OF A PLAYOFF RUN!
First world problems, my friends. First world problems.
HA well said!

This is a dumb topic in that the CFL is so much different than the NFL. The bigger field, fewer downs and unlimited presnap motion make the game unique and fun to watch. The scores are higher and the games are more wide open--the finishes are more frequently close because of the way the clock stops so frequently. I will say that any NFL squad would likely whip a CFL squad. However, any college would get annihilated by a CFL team.
-
CJ versus FJ is now a moot point. We have no shot. Ugggh So depressing. I keep telling myself that the team won't be good because the organisation is not good, and the organisation won't be good until Mr. Wilson or his heirs sell the team, but I keep thinking and hoping we'll get lucky. Why do I feel so dejected when my mind predicted this--my heart secretly hopes every year and every year I'm disappointed.

This masturbatory fantasy isn't helping me maintain my cool this season. Guys we are Bills fans (get ready for the pain of being on the outside looking in.) This season we are 8 and 8 (the two remaining loses being in Toronto against the 'Hawks and in Indy this weekend.
-
I'm not sure that Chan is a great gameday coach. It seems like he is a good teacher and game planner but calling the game and making adjustments--not very good. A thinner southern version of Andy Reid?

Zig-zagging all over the place? Mike Williams actually started 55 games in his career, Curry started 39 games in his career and has 191 tackles ... while Maybin never did much of anything at any point in his career and has 11 tackles total. To be a bigger bust than Maybin, you'd have to spontaneously burst into flames walking out to shake the commissioner's hand at Radio City.
I don't think he's the answer either, but "a bigger bust than Maybin" is too extreme.
Fair enough. Curry like Williams while not complete busts are extreme disappointments. Both were picked forth overall and both were agreed by almost all prognosticators to be to be locks and starters for the next 7-10 years.
In the end we are splitting hairs as both Maybin and Curry will both be out of the league by the end of this season. If you consider that the Seahawks 4th pick was more valuable than the Bills 11th then maybe it could be argued that Curry was a bigger bust. I know Maybin was a DE (at 240ish lbs a tweener at best-right?) in the end both teams would have been better off picking any other linebacker in the first round than the one they did. (Orakpo, Cushing, Mathews, Laurinaitis, and even Malaluga in the 2nd).
I know this draft stuff is stupid hindsight but it really is incredible that the Bills don't have better first rounders just through dumb luck...Its like they have picked poorly on purpose.

" would be about the same as when we brought Bledsoe in .."
Couldn't agree more. Maybe we try for a QB in the first or second, keep Fitz, and hope the guy we get is a Kapernick or (please God) Rodgers type of development guy. I think going after a veteran QB you need to try to find value like a Rich Gannon (or please God) Kurt Warner type of guy who "figures it out" in his late 20s or early 30s. There aren't many guys like that and Fitz might be the closest to it in the league currently.
-
This guy is a bigger bust than Maybin. He may be as big a bust as Mike Williams. Many many prognosticators had him as a lock. Sign him or not it is not likely to make a difference. The LB problem won't be fixed until the off season. We need to get the best out of what we have the rest of the way out. Can the coaches get the team to play in 'prime time' mode the rest of the way out?
-
Even as a blocker or a decoy. It is so obvious that we are so much better with CJ. Also I would love to see when stevie gets the one on one could we please take one shot downfield. I dont care if it is an int or incomplete.
-
It is so obvious we must not be privy to some info right? You can't take Spiller out until he is so winded he cannot walk. We all are seeing that when Choice is in the game we are way worse right?
-
If when the Bills season ends and they decide to keep Chan, I'm not sure Wanny can survive. Do the Bills look at a thinning fat man with a foot fetish as their next DC? I just want to be good before I'm old

There is one common denominator through it all. Mr Wilson--Sometime in his late 70s he ceased to be a capable owner in this league.
