Locker hasnt played enough. it does take most QBs some time to get used to the NFL play. The other factor is what sort of support system you have on the team you play.

Hall. Remind you of cam newton.... How was he last year? And this year?

The QBs arent going to fall that far. Berkley goes in the first round. I see Jones also going in the first round. I see Buffalo drafting 18-24 range. Any inside top notch ILB will not be available. I still could see them drafting a LB and QB in the first and 2nd. What I would see them doing is to trade down to lower part of the first then move up in the second round with what they acquired. Doesnt matter which order but one will be QB and the other LB.

Id rather have the Jets win. Buffalo needs NE to lose 4 times to get the division title. The stay have San Fran and Houston in foxborough. these two weeks they are at Jets then at the dolphins. then they close at Jacksonville and then host Miami. I doubt it but id like to see them lose 4 straight. Bills play the Jets to close the season so Bills win out they will finish at least in second place.

They have resorted to purging people from the retirement land. Whats next Emmitt??? He got eliminated last night so he is available?

There really isn't much that separates teams in the NFL. Any team can best anyone else. What separates playoff teams frm the others are 1. Play execution 2. Confidence 3. Schedule friendliness 4. Health/ injuries to your team and your opponents A team like Cleveland currently at 2-8 could easily be 8-2.. 3 of their losses the had 4th quarter leads, the other 3 losses they had the ball with a chance to tie or take the lead from mid 3rd quarter on. In their other 2 loses ..one to the giants they got up 14-0 with a chance to go up by 3 scores....against cincinati there defense couldn't stop them.. In the second half it was browns score to make it a 7 pt deficit only to have the bengals come back and score to make it a two Possesion game. Atlanta at 9-1.....they easily could be 5-5 or 4-6. 5 of their wins they were trailing in 4 and tied in 1 at some point in the 4th quarter.

A qb alone doesn't win games.... Remember they havent had a RB this year. Then there is the defense that Stafford has no control of.

5 of their 6 losses were by 8 pts or less ( 1 score losses). That's what happens after a team has a breakout year. Teams pay closer attention to them. They have gone 0-4 in divisional play. Had they gone 2-2 they would have been 6-4. In 2011 they played the afc west where they went 4-0 and NFC south where they went 2-2 and 3-3 in division play.

Way I see it...I believe its likely Buffalo draft spot will be 17-23. I dont expect a stud LB to be available then because they get taken early in the first. There are a bunch of QBs who project to be last third of the 1st round to early 3rd round. If they draft later I see no problem with them drafting a QB...What I would prefer they did was to do some movement to drop down later in the 1st and then move up earlier in the second. then draft a QB and LB. I disagree with lumping the USC QBs into one pool. Leinart is different. He really didnt get a fair shot in Arizona. For any pro you are going to have bad games...its a learning process. it takes a couple years for a Qb to learn the job. He was in the situation with Kurt Warner behind him who could still do it. It reminds me in some ways to the Brees/Rivers issue in SD. Then he goes to Houston as the obvious back up. He gets is shut with the injury to Schaub...then he gets injured. Had he not have gotten injuried he would have been a high demand QB that was in the bidding war with Flynn for jobs.

YIt all depends on what the cause was.. If he was going to walk to the bar and he trips or he slips on ice or is hit by a driver flips bangs hs head knocking him out the rolls into the creek.

these arent mistakes by Spiller but mistakes in either play calls or Fitz passing decisions. Tonight i saw late in the first quarter when 10-7 on a third down. Spiller was out as a WR and the CB was more than 5 yds off of him. This is where you improvize and snap and throw the ball to him and let him take on a DB 1 on 1...he likely gets the first down if not more. Last play against the Patriots Fitz looks to him and sees they could run a slant throw to him and he walks into the end zone. There are more plays like this. I liked one play they ran that seems to be tailored where you had Spiller and Johnson run routes on the same side of the field. The D-man bit and went up to Spiller which left Johnson open. Had the D-man stay back Spiller would have been open.

You can randomly pick someone off this board and they would be better than Wanny as DC

They go 6-1 for 9-7 ....and they beat Indy...they have a very good shot at a WC. Pittsburgh may be in a lot of trouble if Rothesburger is out for a significant amount of time due to the throwing shoulder injury in Mondays game. a potential problem scenario is with indy.....They play at NE and host Buffalo...assume they lose both. they need to lose at Detroit or when hosting Tennesee. Houston could clinch home field after week 14 which means they rest their players for the indy games thus it becomes easy for indy to win those games. in week 14 Houston at New england...they already beat Baltimore and Denver so beating New england could clinch home field throughout. A probelm scenario is Buffalo, Pittsburgh, and indy all tied at 10-6 or 9-7 for the two wild cards. Then the H2H win with indy doesnt matter so it goes to conference record as the first tiebreaker. If Pittsburgh sweeps the Browns they will have Common game edge on Buffalo. They split it then they are tied in common games.

Where is David Lee's success?

Look who they are playing..... Miami at Indy Jacksonville St Louis Seattle at Miami Jets Seattle is their most difficult opponent but they still have a young QB who hasn't learned yet to win on the road. Going into their schedule the games that were going to be an issue was at SF, at Hou, at NE, at Jets, and hosting NE. They lost a game to Tennessee that was a close one that they should have won. Just about every team in the league has a game like that.

the Eagles have had a strange year...... they currently are 3-6. There 3 wins were by a total of 4 points. They lost 2 games by 2 and 3 points and their last two games easily could have gone differently if it wasnt for turnovers. Their best case scenario they could have be 7-2...worst case they could have been 0-9.... Would Buffalo want him?

Given this team started 6 of 9 on the road and having to play 4 of those games against very difficult opponents on the road it was expected this team would go at best 5-4.....which they almost did. It came down to a play in each game from that vs 3-6. The expected record was 4-5. They can easily win out the rest of the games and finish 10-6. 5 of them are home games, 2 of them are road games. If they go 6-1 they still aren't out of it. Its quite possible the two WC teams from the AFC are 9-7 or worse. With them losing today it will be very difficult for them to win the division. The Bills would need to have a better record than New England.

The QB play wouldnt be an issue if you had a decent defense. The main issue with Buffalo is that they don't throw deep. I think a big problem with Fitz has been with David Lee trying to fix him causing more problems.

You can do this on almost any play on who they could have thrown to. for Jones Fitz would have had to throw something that only Jones could catch like an over the top to the corner of the endzone.

How much do you think it could be because of the mindless defensive system this team is using?

The PI on Gilmore was an uncatchible ball. They also called a PI on a play where they pass wasnt to that receiver which means illegal contact or defense holding...but not PI. I hope Bills file a league complaint.

This was a timing route that the WR and QB need to be on the same page.

It was TJs fault... This is one of those routes you need to read what the defense is doing. Fitz threw it expecting him to cut in front of the DB....not behind him.

Ron brooks will likely be activated ff of IR if it hasn't been done yet. The bills decide to pull me f the OL from the practice squad.
