Given how well fitzpatrick was able to find our tight end, a good one, but not exactly as talented as Gronkowski, I don't think I agree with this one. 17 TDs? not exactly, you have to be in position to score that many TDs in a season, but our offense was very effecient at times, and having Gronkowski with Chandler on the field would have definitely made a difference, and I'd go so far to say he'd probable have pulled in 10-12 TDs.

i don't care much for the pats, but it's hard to even make the spygate comment anything more than a thin coincidence that they have lost superbowls post spygate. They didn't blow anybody out when they won, and they lost the last 2 on miracle catches, hardly concrete evidence that spygate had any affect on this team. The fact that they have been near the top of the league every year since the stupid spygate story broke should tell you it really has zero affect on how well the team plays. They made 2 superbowls and have won their division nearly every year since then, ohh yeah, spygate has exposed them as cheaters, and now they can't win. Come on, what a joke. Now I said I don't care much for the pats, and the reality is that I really hate the team, but it's just foolish to think this is anything more than a stupid side story. If it were the Bill being accused, this place would explode mushroom cloud style.

Music City Mistake, absolutely no contest, everything else is an argument for 2nd worst.

I'm not going to criticize this level of optimism one bit, my Dad and I actually sat there watching this game thinking how the Bills played both of these teams, and that they really were the better team, or at least as talented. It made me feel good to know that the Bills are some depth and a stronger defensive scheme away from really being very good next year. Just think of all the players on this team on IR that are truly very talented that couldn't help the Bills this year, it does present a very strong argument that this team is far better than their final record indicated.

If you truly believe this you're completely delusional. Ignoring the fact this team has no real succession of ownership in place that has openly supported keeping the team in Buffalo won't change the fact that this franchise would be literally the easiest to relocate given the current stadium lease situation and the state of it's owner.

new owner

Motel 6 sucks no matter what city you travel to. Maybe Brady should have ponied up the dough for Red Roof Inn or something, that douche.

Absolutely the same reason for me, but I really wanted to see the Cardinals beat the steelers as well.

In case anyone hasn't noticed, NYS government has not done the right thing when dealing with Buffalo and WNY for more than 50 years, what on earth makes anyone think for one second they'll start now? Have you walked down Main street in Buffalo on the 360 days there isn't a special event going on? Have you walked down any street on any day in Niagara Falls? Do you really think that wind bag is going to do anything good for Buffalo? His election hinges on the votes of largely populated areas of the state, and that's exactly where he will focus his attentions(Cuomo). Until real tax relief happens, and regionalization of local governments, and a plan to share the taxes across the state, don't expect Cuomo to be anything more than a blowhard who has zero intention to assist Buffalo in any way in it's efforts to keep it's beloved team. Sorry if I crapped in your salad this morning, but these, and other real issues are turning my home town into a desolate area, and it makes me sick.

big and fast players are what this defense needs, he was neither.

The real question is why would anyone care what he wrote?

I actually agree with this whole heartedly.

Giants and Patriots to the superbowl. I base this solely on which team's QBs have the potential to control the outcome of games, and nothing else.

Fixed.

You can blame the ghost of Ralph Wilson....

I was more implying that RW and company would run him out of town, sorry about that, but I do agree that we should run the ball more given the talent we have at the position, and hopefully we will see less of the wildcat, which I hate, along with the tampa2 on the other side of the ball.

Honestly, if you execute your game plan very effectively, it really doesn't matter what aspect you favor. Look at the Patriots, they are a heavy pass first team. Both attack styles offer advantages and disadvantages, and can be troublesome when you get your dominant attack plan shut down. I don't totally agree that running the ball is what is best here, it just seems to be convenient to point out the one team that does it well in the playoffs as proof that our coach's plan isn't any good. To be fair to people around here, it's human nature to watch successful teams and judge their success against our team's shortcomings, and I'd love to see an offense that features Freddie and CJ, but these guys also have shown they can be equally as dangerous in the passing game, if not more. RBs in the passing game can create serious mis-matches, and that to me is a very sound game plan(See K-Gun). I love Chan Gailey's conviction, and when we run him out of town and he wins a championship somewhere else, I'll be pulling for him. I don't however think we should have kept any of the former coaches we set sail though, don't mistake me here, I think we finally have a very good head coach in Chan.

I think it's more important for the team to focus on bringing in a top tier WR first. great players make average coaches look good, great coaches make poor players look good. I'd like to team to focus on getting some talent in here first, look at Indy, they literally had the team's bus driver as a head coach the last few years...

How can you possibly disagree with what runthedamnball said ???

My father, who has never seen this board, and has no ill feelings for any football player, nor does he even know who #31 for the 49ers for that matter, said out loud , "That #31 isn't very good, he's going to cost the 49ers the game" I don't hate ex players, but Donte Whitner looked terrible, I couldn't believe how out of position he was on nearly every play in the 2nd half. I was going to come onto this board this morning and start a thread to all those people who think that every player the bills let go is world class and we should have kept him. Parting ways with Whitner was exactly what the Bills needed to do, he almost cost the 49ers the game, and did so countless times for the Bills. P.S. Mcgahee looked pedestrian as well, and the point that they are in the playoffs is beyond irrelevant. in fact, my short list of eternally happy they are departed from our roster are as follows: 1. Mcgahee 2. Marshawn Lynch 3. Donte Whitner All time list folks....all. time. list. This is not hate towards whitner, I was just tired of how bad he actually was. The other 2 are barely average players who marginally fill roster spots.

Dead wrong. Marshawn was and is an average back on his way out, or at the very least one strike away from sitting an entire season. No matter how much people want to bury their heads in the sand, Freddie is north of 30 years old. Past that the team had nothing, and even so hasn't had an elite running back on the team since Thurman left. Spiller has the potential to be a game changing back, the team has not had any players on the team you could say that about, not even close for more than 10 years. If you're a new GM, you pick player that can be explosive, that's what Nix did, yet people still want to criticize him for doing it. Sad really. You can't fault Spiller for having to wait his turn in light of Freddie's amazing play, and when it's his time to play, it's very clear CJ will perform, but for some it doesn't matter how well, they just want to make excuses why the team didn't need him.

the league could care less whether or not you get to see the game, they just care about the money made from the networks. Ticket revenue is such a small part of a team's profits.

+1

Capital letters indicate a tone of yelling.... Also, LOL means laughing out loud. the interwebz is fun.

I have been preaching this to deaf ears for 2 years now, I said from the beginning this guy will be a very good player, and I would take him over marshawn lynch any day, 3 times over. I was extremely relieved when the pick was made, I knew it spelled the end of least mode.
