Bills lose to the Giants with a late field goal to lose by 3 in NJ. If Buffalo wins that game. Cowboys make the playoffs. Just something funny to think about

every time he catches the football simms and co. rip on him. "lee evans has been about as productive today as he has all season." it's been making me laugh a bit

****ty illegal blockin call

Agreed but still scared. I wish there was something a little more concrete. Maybe a 50 year lease with a Claus about only no ing the stadium within the county also something about a league collaps( wh knows in 50 years). Also I believe I heard chomp say the other day that the stadium could use something like 100 mil in upgrades. Could have misheard but I doubt the state comes anywhere near that without some belief that the team will be here for a while

My only concern is that he seems to not be able to hold a job. I'm neither high nor low on this. Just waiting

andy daltons success is just as much a result of aj greens skill as it is andy daltons

Andy Dalton's success is also attributed to aj green as much as it is his own talents.

he took some if the (at the time) credit for that awful trade for carson palmer. he should be fired after that. he mortgaged their future and it failed.

i never get the " we need to make the playoffs next year or he is fired" line of thinking. i know i will get a ton of response that take teams like SF or cinci and count them as the rule. The AFC is significantly deeper than the NFC, our division makes it tough. This year 3 teams came from the AFC North. If Peyton returns and with a healthy Houston, that changes everything in the South. We have a team with a record of a decade of awful drafts and trades. we haven't had a record at or above 500 in who knows how long. I would be happy with finishing the season playing similar to the way we started it, competitive with EVERYBODY. That means we drop some of those close games, which means we may even go 8-8. I am happy with improvement and a 500 record or better. That is a better track than what we have been on in a decade, and to be honest there is nobody out there proven to be better who would be willing to accept that job.

the reality of the situation is we where a competitive team who was a draft or 2 from being at the top. that means 10-6 or 9-7 without losing too many startes. assuming we where to over achieve it is an 11-5 or the inverse performance of 8-8. we act suprise when we put something like 15 guys on IR(by the way about 75% of the starting roster) the wheels fell off. we where what we thought we where. if everything works out well, we can hang with anybody, beat most, and be really close to the playoffs, but not a huge surprise to miss it just a disappointment. whatever our tapered opinions of this team we had at 5-2 are the realistic view of where we were. we were not going to win the division and only be in the hunt for the wild card. step off the ledge guys

thing is the dl is most likely best set for a 4-3, with the need for a pass rusher. the sad part is that our lb corps is not really built for either, and if anything stronger suited for a 3-4 with them, even with their poor play, it is the truth

realistically nate washington against our secondary. i hope that cj and fitz have a huge game

we have been running the coaching carousel here in buffalo for a decade now. we have a roster purged of 5 years of bad drafts. udfa sit up and down our depth chart and starting roster. you can not address the coach until you address the talent. I like Chan, he has flashes of brilliance, key word flashes. we can compete with him. if we are talking about age, lets talk nix. guy is 80. if we do anything we should be making sure that whaley gradually starts to see more and more control so that we can make sure the transition is smooth when we lose nix. at 80, he will be gone (from the staff) soon. lets hope that this was whaleys and nixs first no holds bar draft because a few more like it and we will be fine.

i am curious of something. i lived in okc, where I could not get sunday ticket, so got the to go app for the computer phone, and just ran the hdmi chord to my tv. question is, during a blackout will i still get the bills game on my computer since my sunday ticket is registered in oklahoma. i would assume no, but ask because i ran into a sabres fan in colorado who had directv, assuming msg would still come standard, when he realized it didnt, he switched his billing address to a friends or family in buffalo, and now gets all the sabres games because of it. heres to hoping that glitch caries over for me

spiller- playing behind a probowler. so your point is that we should stop giving the ball to our super productive back and start giving it to the back up. silly. until he is in a position to be a feature back the jury is still out. that is the reality of the situation troup/carrington- have been the only depth we have had at any position no matter how poor it has been easley- serious health problems, no idea what his ceiling or basement is to be fair wang- 5th rounder and we have some ok tackles suprisingly, they all just happen to be hurt moats- actually a decent pick in the 6th round. you expect picks this low to be expendable and he has played pretty well calloway/brown- really we are going to wine about another super low round pick. wahhhh my 7th round pick isnt super great. lets get real. looking at good drafting teams, they hit on the draft at about 50% of their picks. the last 2 seem to have provided some depth wich is good. there was an artice a week or 2 ago and we have something like 11 guys left on the team from the 2005-2009 with 1 from 07 and none from 08. there is no team in the league with a poorer roster than that. take the gun out of your mouth, there is some improvement, but intill there is a roster we cant make realistic judgments. or if you would like you can blow your head off because of 2 failed 7th rounders, a bad 5th rounder, and the guy we have backing up our pro bowler.

also after today we could possibly have 12 guys on IR. that is literally half the starting line up. with 10 yrs of poor drafting we have about 8-12 good players. when they go down we have nobody. fitz threw from his back all game, no depth at wr, no depth at lb,we have about 3.5 really good ol, and a serviceable 2ndary on their best day, when you cut that all in half you have nothing, plain and simple. we have no depth. until we can stay healthy, we really cant say anything about the coaching staff. also in 2008 we showed no flashes of being good, just somehow won games. we play solid football at points this year injuries at wr and ol have murdered us as time has gone on. the d was bad and missing a ton of pieces makes it awful. realism

Brady is a top 5 qb of all time. Should possibly be inducted into the hof while he is still playing. Comparing fitzgerald to him is Plain stupid. Brady does things and makes reads that ally of dc's can't see and he does it in about 3 seconds. We are seeing a few things here. We have some pieces in place but not even half but we are getting there. Our lack of depth at even serviceable positions is pathetic. I think the fact that we went 8 weeks with our current weaknesses is actually a testament to our coaching staff. Intact taking this team to 8-8 is a huge improvement a winning record would be icing I have also thought most of this year that Steve Johnson is not worth nearly the money he is asking. You lock Fred up for the remainder of his career and you offer sj13 an average no 1 reciever contract and get his twitter authenticated because that is what he deserves. Wr is still a position of need. If an an green slips to around 15 you jump. Of a first round prospect falls to the second you get it. Other than that you got to find some help at pb it needs help and depth. I actually think we only need 1 more corner. Regardless of draft choice I think we would be significantly better here with 2 more lbs

hahaha. illiteracy makes me giggle. (that means you aren't so good at reading and writing)

so if they werent part of the institutions, it would not be college team. so you want to make college football the developmental league for the nfl, while at the same time getting rid of college football. the state of college football and basketball is totally at the fault of the NCAA. there would be less money collection by the universities if it's job was to actually police these schools rather than just come down on them when a 3rd party gives word of violations. all the NCAA does is collect money, their only real purpose is to create rules and take money, it is not their responsibility to make sure those rules are enforced.

stevie wont be happy. fitzies contract is for less than sj was asking, which i hope to god that he doesnt get more than a the fitz contract. they arent talking because johnson and co. are most likely not grounded in reality in terms of what he is worth. get pears done first. get freddy a new contract immediately, the guy deserves it. it is also a good bargaining tool as well. if fred signs for similar money to fitz(just slightly shorter due to age) there is no way that johnson can say he is worth more to this team than either of those 2.

omg did they get their cookies yet

if the bills are the real deal, the last game of the season will be meaningful, which means he is worth the 5mil or whatever he would get this year

these numbers seem justified. i thought he might get a little bit more, but this is solid. front end loaded, so if needed trading him later on could be done with out too much issue. this seems fair for both parties. i am happy. here is the deal, when you have a top 15 qb, you hold onto him regardless. the time it takes to develop a guy, and the chance he flops, really make it necessary to keep serviceable and good qbs regardless of what team it is. i also like the deal, it sets the standard for fred and steve. i know johnson is asking stupid money, well there is no way he gets more than fitz. i see him signing a 6 year 40mil contract guarantee 18ish. fred should get possibly 4 years and something inbetween those 2 guys most likely closer to fitz.. fitzies contract keeps these other 2 a bit more realistic, the numbers i heard flying around seemed a little out of control.

so a refresher. the skins are missing either on the roster or due to injury. 1. a reasonable qb 2. their #1 reciever 3. their rb 4. their starting mlb we are in huge trouble if we lose this game. how can you lose to a team without a qb or a running game. now take away fletcher, and a loss for buffalo would be devastating in what it says about this franchise. with that i predict a win. handedly

its so true. the tin man always had heart, scare crow brains, and lion courage. kelly bruce and thurman had all the tools to be successful. looking back a bit, especially after he tarnished his rep after coming back to set the franchise back a decade, it becomes clear. also note indy with the change over to caldwell. without peyton that team is doo-doo. and neither dungy nor caldwell could dig them out of that hole. there are teams that coaches lift up, those bills and these colts are not examples
