And for some reason you used team records to compare them. I was simply pointing out how foolish that is.

Ben Jarvis Green-Ellis 10-6 CJ Spiller 6-10 See how much fun this is?

Is your assertion that any QB in the playoffs is a "franchise" QB? Not sure what you are getting at with this comment...

So far Dalton seems "eh". Certainly does not look like a "franchise" QB yet.

That was actually Rapaport asking around the league about Whaley, not Whis. It wasnt Whis asking about Whaley, it was Rapaport.

Why would you fire your GM in the middle of a coaching search?

Hopefully with a pleasant aroma of pipe tobacco.

Hammer, has Ralph's Taurus been spotted at OBD over the weekend?

I wonder what will happen when he has more than a 57 yo Steve Smith* to throw to. *See Ryan, Matt

What was? That he would end up here, or that Buffalo would contact his agent?

I am a big fan of SJ13 and I hope he grabs 1K if for no other reason than it's a significant milestone and will help validate all the hard work this kid has put in since Day 1. That said, who cares? Dre Reed never did it, but Dre Reed had bigger fish to fry, like January home games. Eric Moulds never did it, but Eric Moulds played his share of January football as well. I bet Stevie would actually put up better numbers once this team acquires a true gamebreaking WR and SJ13 can escape the shackles of double coverage and rolling safeties and even if he didnt, he wouldnt give a crap. Scrimping for 65 yards to get to 1K is a really junky way to end the season.

It's so sad that we are actually talking about this.

Tim Tebow is an awful QB. No thanks.

So far so good. Anyone see a bit of Thurman in Shane Vereen? It's not just the number, it's the crouch, posture, and running style.

I agree. Spikes' hit on Fitz gets a flag every time, but i'm not sure it was fine worthy. At initial contact it was facemask to facemask. I think Fitz was more grumpy about the illegal Chandler hit in game 1, which prompted his reaction to the hit in game 2. Just my $0.02.

The season ended when Tennefreakinsee beat us in our own building. If you can't win that game, you have no business pipe dreaming about division wins.

If we were playing to our strength and still getting beat I'd be a lot less frustrated with 2012. It just sucks every last bit of enthusiasm out of me to watch us blow game after game trying to do things we aren't good at.

True, but at least it was there. This year it seems like every deep throw is a pick u can call from your living room. What changed?

I think the most puzzling thing is he's been able to do this in the past, with confidence and authority. Why cant he do it this year?

Hang on, u guys talking about that FG late in Q2 that got the Bills their first points? That was absolutely the right call IMO. Take the 3 and get the ball to start Q3. It actually worked out even better than Gailey could have planned as they were able to snake yet another 3 out before the half. No problem with that decision at all.

It's an absolute outrage.

This. Bought really nice seats, booked my flight back in July, and was just thrilled for my first ever night game after 30 + day games at The Ralph. Now the only reason i'm looking forward to it is hanging at Hammer's Lot and partying with the TBDers (not that that's a bad thing, but it's not worth $750!). We suck.

Exactly. It also makes a game managing QB far more effective when its time for play action. Why the hell dont we run 40-50 times a game? I totally agree. I bet Nate Solder would own Bruce Smith.

5'10 195-205?

Agree and disagree. There is no doubt teams overload vs the run because Fitz cant throw long. However, in a 3rd and 2/3/4 type scenario, the box is going to be stuffed anyway. I'm simply advocating using your strength and daring them to stop it. If, after myriad attempts to run out of these situations, the Bills continue to get stuffed, then fine, empty the backfield and try something new. But the fact is they dont even try to impose their will via the run game on 3rd and makeable, and a team that plays in our weather with our backs and OL that does not do that is doomed.
