http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/01/28/washington-g-m-admits-tagging-kirk-cousins-is-a-real-option/#comments Funny how this situation is mirroring the situation in Washington... Keeping in mind that the Bills can always tag TT next season if necessary...

For his "rookie" season Taylor did well... And he is obviously the starter going into next season... I still think you need to draft a QB in Rd 2-3 to try to develop and at least back Taylor up... Cut ties with EJ now....

There is an old coaches saying in the NFL that "You are what your record says you are..."

Also, if I am not mistaken it was Kiko's second ACL tear to the same leg... I hope he makes it all the way back but you never know...

Has anybody actually wondered whether Rivers would want to play here?

Fans should be excited. That about covers it.

Our Tackles were not fine... Henderson played out of desperation, there was no one else better... Even Glenn didn't play as well as the year before... and don't get me started on the guards... Hopefully, Incognito keeps his nose clean and still remembers how to play this game (without his notorius cheap shot penalties...) The ground and pound is gonna require solid OL play.. they clearly need more help at these positions...

http://www.wgr550.com/pages/9034669.php?pid=461450 Here is Joe B.'s take on things...

I gotta agree... I think the Bills sign Gresham in FA... Maybe Harris to Replace Kiko.... a couple OL (maybe a C and move Wood to G)

Keep the heart of this team together (Resign Hughes), make it even stronger if possible... find a competent QB or two... bring in some more OL who can block and draft another RB... Can the Bills afford a better TE?

Frankly, I am not sure that I would want either EJ or Derek Carr as my QB... EJ will get a chance to compete with all the other QB's on the roster at Training Camp... Let The Best QB Win!

THE "Connor McDavid" - "Suck for Luck" approach....

Just say NO to dogkillers... Some things ARE more important than football....

Hoyer was having a pretty decent season until the game here... He deserves consideration... As does Sanchez.... And if Phila wants to move up in the draft they might be inclined to deal Foles for a draft pick... Lots of considerations here...

my guess is he leaves to join Chan in NY... Use his $$ to help pay hughes...

I am all for doing whatever is possible to give EJ a fighting chance but He must be able to go to training camp and WIN the QB job... In this offseason the Bills should have him working out with one of the QB developers out there... Get him some training from a professional who can help correct his flaws and by all means hire a dedicated QB coach for him and all the QB's on the roster... But if he wants to start he has to win the job - not have it handed to him... He should get plenty of time in preseason to show what he can do... It's not fair to "force" EJ onto the new HC, if that HC doesn't judge EJ to be capable of getting the job done... Coaches are paid to win football games - not nursemaid players who can't cut it... I'd be happy if EJ turned his game around and became the player we would all like him to be...

They are hardly doomed... But this is an important decision that they need to get right... I have to wonder what Polian had to say about Whaley though... Rumor was that AJ Smith may have joined Polian if he had come here... Doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement of Whaley to me... So where should Pegula be getting his advice from? Can he really trust Whaley to find the next coach? If Shanahan came here wouldn't he want his own guy as GM? And what are the chances of Schwartz staying if someone new comes in from outside the organization? It's gonna get interesting...

What a start to the New Year... I'm Ok with Schwartz as well... Unless Cowher wants to come out of retirement....

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK....

OK... Yes Whaley looks like he got this one right... Although, I have criticized this move up until now... I'm on board with this now... I can't deny Watkins talent --- BUT he better not EVER celebrate early again... I don't want another DeSean Jackson...

http://espn.go.com/n.../2013/ej-manuel Here are EJ's stats from last season... A mixed bag with high points (Carolina, 2nd Jets game, Jax), and low points (Pitts and Tampa)... He had a nice game this game... He made that TD run look awful simple... He was cool under pressure and did what he needed to do... winning on the road is never easy... Hopefully he continues his good play against Miami...

I wish you luck, but I fear you may lose your money...

Unconditional anything is not usually very good... QB's get benched for poor play all the time... ALL players do... EJ hasn't earned anything yet... It's time for him to step up his play... It's also time for Marrone to get the OL's heads out of their a$$e$ and stop "T*tty blocking" the opposing D's... And Whaley should start thinking about what he is gonna say to Terry Pegula when he is asked why he didn't just draft Ebron or Beckham instead of trading away next years #1 pick...

I don't find it surprising that TG hasn't submitted a bid... When he owned the Sabres TG never impressed me as "wanting to win"... Pegula wants to win... That's why I believe Pegula will be the Bills new owner when the smoke clears... Pegula has done all the things right to make this purchase... He hired Steve Greenberg who has real experience in these matters, sold the 1.75B mineral rights to free up $$.... Pegula will prevail...

Maybe Spiderman and Iron Man would have been better longterm investments...
