Every year you have players that come in & players that leave via FA. This years list for the Bills goes something like this & i don't see a lot of them coming back with the coaching change.. I'll of coarse start with the most important IMO to the least important again MO . Some i have listed in their spot due to money & possible depth player at a position of need that were good all around for the team. 1) J. Byrd - S 2) A. Levetre - G 3) L. Mckelvin - DB/ KR 4) D. Nelson - WR 5) C. Rhinehardt - OL 6) B. Scott - LB/S 7) D. Jones - WR 8) S. Johnson - DL 9) S. Merriman DE/LB 10) K. Moore - DE 11) K. Morrison - LB 12) C. Brown - C/OL 13) C. Macntyre - FB 14) T. Choice - RB 15) R. Martin - WR/ST 16) T. Jack - QB 17) T. Thigpen - ?QB This is all of the players we have that could leave via FA that i found, (some may have been resigned by now) some will return as they should others should have never been brought in or let go a while ago. As i said this is my interpretation of their importance to be brought back, but as we all know Bills fans have never been short when it comes to our opinions so fire away !!

The special teams coach & i even say the possibility of the HC hire could be considered the hiring of a friend or homer. Because as it was so overly stated by the Bills FO as a exhaustive & thorough search for a HC it was not ...

With the signing of the players we pick up in the draft, signing our own FA (which we have more than just the 2 obvious ones) the list of free agents we have is 17 players. So if you replace those players or resign them where do you think the extra money for the guys you mentioned will come from ? All or most of the players you mentioned like Bowe which he has already stated that he will now stay in KC B/C of the Reid hiring are top money FA's as are our 2 that we need to resign, i don't see any of the top end FA's from your list that you talk about being prospects for the team with the money available ...

So have i !! Since the Gailey hire i have wondered WHY our FO never had a interview with him & now we hire a guy after a EXHAUSTIVE SEARCH (5 candidates & 1 weeks time) with a good resume but not half the experience of Trestman & no championships on that resume... As Marv said their paths are almost identical look at both their Wikipedias he should have been the next successor as the Bills coach or at least had an interview. With the guy being a Canadian coach & the only team in the NFL having a Canadian series playing games there every year what move would have made it a million times easier for the Canadians to root for the Bills as their team & make that series a success & more than likely brought more fans to games at the Ralph from up north.. HIRE A CANADIAN COACH THAT WON 2 GREY CUP CHAMPIONSHIPS !! NO Brainer right ? Not in the Bills front office . Don't get me wrong i think we Might have made a good pick but EXHAUSTIVE, THOROUGH ?? Not to mention Marrones experience & resume is NOTHING like Trestmans !!! Trestman & the Bills was a match made in NFL heaven but Brandon had his home boy in mind from the onset of the search & couldn't see out side of the city limits of Syracuse ... Can You say HOMER !! Marv may have been wrong about a few things as the Bills GM but he wasn't wrong about Trestman !!

You must have been all in with the Gailey thing , i was all in first but along with the other bad coaching decisions & just b/c he didn't send Lindell out doesn't mean he can't hit that one. That just means you can lump that one in with the other bad coaching calls he did that helped to lay the ground work for his dismissal.

This is just another result of the road our nation is taking, we have turned into a nation of lazy a** whiners that would rather sit & concentrate on things that we can complain about rather than doing something constructive !!

I watch during the season when there is more teams to talk about but with the focus being so narrow during the play offs (unless of coarse the Bills were playing) i don't pay as much attention B/C you can only talk about so much with 8 teams playing. I don't watch so i'm not sure if they talk about other teams & their coaching hirings or searches, i guess i have better things to do but if the Bills were in there i'd be watchin them !!

After this season is over the NFL will for sure be with out 1 HOF players & there is another that said at the beginning of this season he was 95% sure this would be his last season. These 2 players that i talk about are Ray Lewis of the Ravens & Tony Gonzales of the Atlanta Falcons both will be first ballot HOFer's. This possibly of this being both players last season & 1 playing in the AFC the other playing in the NFC wouldn't it be a fitting end to 2 great players careers to meet in the SB ? Of coarse the bad part is one would have to lose but seeing as 1 has a SB ring the perfect ending would be if Gonzales could go out with 1 so they both could end their respective careers with a ring. Then they could wear their ring when they are inducted into the hall. It will be a tough task for the Falcons (if they win today) to win out over the 49er's but it would be a great end to 2 of the greatest to ever play the games HOF career !!!

Although i think it's a fore gone conclusion that Marrone will take Nassib his boy with our first pick I think we have better options . The kid from Kansas Klien was a heismen finalist, prototypical size, good if not great arm, but there are a lot of comparisons to Teabow with a better arm ? With all of the run option plays being put in to offensive schemes now & after seeing what the 49er's QB did last night bring it on !! I may be one of a few but i heard Skip Bayless say (not quite the way i will put it) but if a coach had balls enough to play to Teabows strengths like Myer did in college he would be a success in the NFL which i agree with. If this kid from Kansas has a better arm & he is a runner too i think he would be a great fir in B/Lo but we can talk about it all we want but i think it will be for naught B/C i am going on record saying that our next QB will be Nassib ...

If he acted like that this week b/c they won will he be cutting his wrist next week if they don't win ?? Or just do what Bills fans do & drink profusely until next year ...

Ask the Oakland Raiders what they thought about the subject. Even though you don't have to pay as much as you did then, in a year that the QB class is less than stellar & the fact that there may be another player that you can get at that pick that will make an immediate impact & is a huge upgrade at another position with your first pick is it worth the risk to take a franchise QB that may not live up to being the face of the franchise when the other may be that player ??? Especially if the QB will sit for a while & you need to keep your bridge gap QB to help with the change...

Bowe has decided to stay in KC since Reid came aboard ..

Maybe the Jets will take him seeing as they have a high draft pick then they can have a USC reunion ...

What about the dude in Az. Horton he may be the next HC down there , plus there are still 5 other HC jobs to be filled so this along with the Trestman report could be a bit premature ! I can't for the life of me figure why we didn't even interview Trestman ? With the Toronto thing & all he would have been a home run !!

Well here is a complete list of those finalists that have a chance to be inducted into the HOF & once again Andre is in there . I think all 3 WR should go in & get it over & done with. The longer they wait the more of the records held by all 3 will fall as the league has become a passing league. All 3 were the best at what they did when they played but if they continue to pass over them their records will not be nearly as impressive as they were when they accomplished them ! They need to start to have a fan voting section or increase the amount of players inducted every year b/c there are way to many deserving players that are not in the HOF !! Here is the complete list of finalists: Larry Allen, Jerome Bettis, Tim Brown, Cris Carter, Curley Culp, Edward DeBartolo Jr., Kevin Greene, Charles Haley, Art Modell, Jonathan Ogden, Bill Parcells, Andre Reed, Dave Robinson, Warren Sapp, Will Shields, Michael Strahan and Aeneas Williams. My vote would go like this : T. Brown, C. Carter, A. Reed, C. Haley, C Culp ... Who would you put in ?

How do you teach him to play in bad weather ?? Don't know ---me either i'll pass !!

Ya but he still has shown nothing in the way of what Luck or RG3 has , & the risk far out ways the reward !!

Maybe we as Bills fans should feel pretty good about where we stand with our owner ship & all even though we did give Mularkey a go. He should just stay as a OC he's had better luck ...

I watched Nassib against USC & he did nothing for me, i don't know how many top defenses he played against but on my personal impression scale he didn't score real high. Taj Boyd, is staying for his senior season which he was my pick but i think he made a good move, Barkley is well another USC QB & given the history i don't want to go there !! Geno Smith hopefully will be gone way before our pick Jones didn't show up for some important games & we already have one of those. I would rather see us wait till a later round if possible go for a T. Wilson or T. Bray. They both have as big an arm as Nassib but showed better to me when it counted . But we do need a QB & seeing as we have Nassibs HC & OC it's pretty much a given where we will go ...

Last year we put Wanny in place b/c of his resume thinking he could turn our D around to be top flight , added Mario via FA & we all know where that went . Enter our new coach & a D coordinator that has had a top ten D the last 4 years while working for the NYJ, the only thing is is that from what i read he was a 3/4 guy which does that mean we will be going back to that this year ? Which that is a big question but what i was really wondering about was i have read a post about weather or not to bring back Merriman ? Seeing as he was a 3/4 LB & given the fact that MArio played a LB in the 3/4 scheme they ran in Houston it has been asked if Mario would go back to that position in Pettines D or would he change it to better fit the people he has on the roster & stay with a 4/3 base D ? My thing is i guess if your line looked like this K. Williams - M. Dareus - A. Carrington for our front 3 could we use effectively M. WIlliams - K. Sheppard - Barnett - S. Merriman as our LB corp in what ever configuration they fit to their strengths & would that work with the players we have ? We hopefully have a healthy T. Troup coming back which between Dareus 331 lbs & Troup 327 lbs may be able to do a good job at NT if this is the a way that they would go. I can't see Pettine completely going away from what he has been successful at & don't want him to if he can put our D in the top ten. The year Mario got hurt while playing at the LB position he had 5 sacks in 5 games so it's not like he can't be effective the thing is keeping him happy with what he is doing, it was said that while in Houston & moved to the LB position he was not happy & would play at times with less than full effort. Just something else to talk about amongst us Bills fans ...

He cut his teeth literally on the K/gun offense that could be exciting if he implements it in this system & he had to learn something from his dad, kind of like Byrd did . Which if he has we could be in for a good ride !!

Appreciate you but i had read the information wrong & over looked some things . Hey it ain't the first time & it sure won't be the last !!! But it has generated a bunch of conversation . After our spat i went back & read over every thing & dude was right i was talking out the wrong side of my face. Lesson learned ...

If any of this is true then we can probably expect to have Nassib as our new QB ..

Why would i read anything about the NYJ they suck as bad as we did this year, the only difference is well there really is none but i know what i read , the article by James Walker it saying which i took this from his article so go argue with him i'm just stating what he wrote. If the Bills pay the bonus, Fitzpatrick's cap number jumps to $10.45 million next season, which would be suitable for a franchise quarterback.
