I liked this guy coming out. I am in favor of giving it a shot, unless, of course, he has a substance abuse problem. Remember, ignorance can be cured, but stupid is forever.

The real question here is can Jackson handle the mental part of running this offense. Fitz with his Wunderlich score of 48 and Harvard education has the big brain part down pat. His arm is the issue. Jackson needs to know enough to run a respectable offense, not necessarily th e whole package, but a respectable play mix. Anyhow, I think we will see him when the bills are at 8 or 9 losses.

The interviews with Brandon on GR are a huge waste of time. Rarely says anything of importance, but I was struck by one thing he talked about this morning. When they were asking him about the remaining home games and all the tickets left, which Brandon continually refers to as "inventory", he said they have historical data from the last 20 years of December home games and "for some reason" they have trouble selling those tckets. Really Russ? "For some reason"? Geez, what do you think that reason might be? Just a wild guess, but maybe its because the teams for the most part have stunk and are long out of the playoff picture by then.
well, thats only part of the reason. Even in the good years (yeh, I remember them), the December games were a problem, and some of the Jim Kelly era games were blacked out. So, quality football isn't the sole answer. Of course, the answer is it the cold WEATHER. Brandon should know this, your answer misses the point as well.

As soon as possible, but not sooner. That means keep him until there is a better alternative. And, I think we need to find out about Jackson some this year. We already know Thigpen is not the guy.
-
They are unlikely to hit 8-8. that requires going 4 of 5, and we have not seen anything like that consistency from this team.
Even though the schedule is weak, I would bet against that outcome. I think 2 or 3 wins in more likely. Yes, the d has gotten better since the bye week, don't know why they could not have started that way. One of the improvements is McKelvin replacing Williams, who is no sort of CB. One of the above comments calls Stevie a top 10 receiver. Sorry to disagree, Stevie may be in the top 30, but not the top ten. Did you see the long ball he caught against INdy. Three (thats 3 folks) DB's in the INdy secondary ran him down. Stevie is a big receiver with complex moves, and gets free a lot. But, he lacks the speed of a top 10 receiver.

Sounds like a good idea to me!

Well, Modkins may contribute in areas that Chan needs help, and Chan knows it. I dno't think for a minute he is a get the coffee guy.

Actually,, the cornerback play today didn't lose the game. Both Gilmore and McKelvin had decent days. Bryan Scott showed his age, however. And Geroge Wilson was a no show, as well. gilmore is doing fine as a rookie, and will make plays when he gets totally oriented. I recall that a number of our 1st round db's weren't good at interceptions early. Starting with thomas Smith (remember him?) winfield was better at it later years in Minn. Clements was an inceptor/ball hawk when here, but only in games he decided to play hard in. (half the time) McKelvin may well be the next 5 year Bill #1 to go on to do well with another team, after making all the mistakes with us learning how to play. He sure looks a lot better than Williams did when he was in there. Williams is no cornerback. Maybe he can replace Wilson at safety, though, since he is a hitter. Oh well, enough CB history

Yes this team is as bad as Jaron era teams.....and may not get the 7 wins that Jaron produced. The O is terrible, other than Spiller, no game breakers. So, other than the New England game, one offensive touchdown in three games. Pathetic. Heads need to roll. The D actually did fairly well today, allowng 14 points. Some of the guys playing don't have it though. Ron Brooks is slow, should not be planning for him to be a corner of the future. Hairsten was undressed by Mathis, he can't play. LB's didn't make plays. Gilmore and McKelvin did OK, even Justin Rogers made a big play. George Wilson a non show. Mario gets three sacks, and looked like the 100M man first time this year. Gailey may get another year, and he will give Wannestat another year, and then they will both be gone. Gailey has picked poorly for his D coordinators, of course, there is a slight problem in that no legitimate coach wants to come to Buffalo, so Gailey's selection choices may be really limited.
-
So many players to be replaced. Coaches as well. Hairston undressed by Mathis, we need Pears or another LT. Brooks can't run with the wr's, need another cb. Rogers with the int, and getting the long penality. LB's getting beat regularily, need some of them too. Fitz arm runs hot and cold. Our receivers are not good. Steveie has heart, but not speed. Need some big time help. Offense is terrible, Defense is bad also, but better than the first few games. Not much to look forward to in Dec

Lol....coverage sucks on kicks anymore!
Bad news, Ron Brooks could not run with Hilton. We will have to draft another CB who can run.
-
Darius still learning to be a pro......he was a great pick. Stay tuned!!!!
-
Well, I think it depends on which version of our defense shows up. The D has played well that last three games, if they keep it up, the game will be competitive. The O has to score, and it would help if they got lucky on special teams, again. I think its no better than 50/50. the bills are down 2 games in the standing s to the colts, but they are not that far behind in talent. Lets say they win the two they could have (Pats and titans)....then standings are a push.....but the analysis stays the same. So, I don't put much stock in the relative records.

Not so fast.....

He is a playmaker, but not a top physical specimen. But, you take what you get in terms of a #2 draft pick, and you would take this outcome everytime. He will get paid, hopefully by the bills, but there are lots of others in line as well. Bleacher had a good list just a day or two ago. Levitre, Urbik, Reinhart (yep all top three guards) on the list. McKelvin (yep, they will try to sign him as well, but somebody likely will go megabucks for him) I think the Bills will keep most of their talent. They did fine letting Bell go last year, but have let some talent go in that past that they should not have. this is a key success factor in franchaise success. And, oh yeh, Eric Wood!!!!
-
Mathematically still possible.
Sure we can pull it out. The team is trending up quickly and starting to look like something.
The missing defense has arrived and is looking as if they are " fitting those damned gaps ".
Hope is awesome.
Go Go Go Bills. Keep hope alive one more week !
Issues and disorder in the brain ? yes i have that too. Probably a virus going around western ny again.
No team that fails to score an offensive touchdown in two of the last three games is trending up quickly!
-
And Sanchez burying his head into the turf was icing on the cake
Get over it man, that was 8 weeks ago. Obviously the Jets are spiraling out of control and we are gradually getting better. We will get revenge in week 16
Well, the Bills are sort of getting better. The D is now doing some positive things.....last three games anyhow. But, the O, no toudhdowns in two of the last three games, so regressing there. Special teams about even. If the O wakes up, and the D continues to improve, the Bills could win a few of the last 6.
The big money D line will get another year to prove itself, so no high picks on defensive lineman. Look for a LB early!!
-
$25,000 fine if Goodell has any hair on his chest.
-
The next three would be great to get, make the franchaise respectible again. I would love to have the Jets game at season end mean something, and chew them up in the last regular season game. Its so much fun to hear the NY media bleed when the Jets loose.

Fitz is a starting NFL qb, maybe not top 1/3 though. His stats quoted above say its so. His paycheck says its so, you could never pay a backup that money. But, he isn't getting the 15-25 mil per year that Brees/Manning command. (He gets 10 I think, alex Smith getting 9 I think) Two middle tier guys. Now, Smith has a better supporting cast, and is winning, but he turned it around last year after many Fitz like years, and with the right supporting cast, Fitz would also do that. I agree the David Lee thing has caused probelms, Fitz has not been the guy who started out on fire last year with the long ball. In the end, as a season ticket holder, I have been entertained by Fitz play, and can wait for a draft choice to be developed for a change at QB. You know, we had Losman, he lacked the head to play but had the arm. Fitz is great on the mental side, but lacks the big arm. Thats how it goes, I guess.

Gotta agree. Ugly as sin. And the large size is useless for everyone in my family.
You'd think they'd send something a bit classy to their best customers. This thing is like the Bills version of Army surplus.
Actually, I like the hat. Sort of camo effect, only red and blue. And the size was perfect....ususally they are to small for me. You can please all the people all the time......

Yeh, Chef's is great the few times I've been there. Also, always full of buffalo cops it seemed, when I have been there. They are eating/off duty, but in their uniforms. No question, though, a class joint!!! Cheap and good food.

Unlikely he will be available, if he is franchise material, it will be Smith who will get traded, likely during the off season. And, I don't think I am up for that.
Pick one to leave - Fitz, Chan or Wanny

Actually, that gives one some pause to think before typing an answer. (I guess I show my age by calling it typing, not keyboarding)
I think Chan's faults have been his selection of coaches under him, particularily on the defensive side. the two years of 3-4 defense are still hurting this team. Wanny's D has not been good, the D was slow to adopt to the 4-3, and his selection of players has been flawed. This incessant playing of A Williams is a real mistake, he isn't a CB, but he may get George Wilson's job later, we will see, as he was a safety at Texas. In fact, I was astounded when the Bills put him at CB. However, Gailey has had trouble getting quality coaches to come to Buffalo at all, and despite his apparent intransigence to anything but a vinella version of the 4-3, this D is getting better. Gailey's offense is pretty good also, but I think he should move the play calling to an OC who can do the job, not a retread NFL head coaching failure (see jets) I guess I think Fitz inability to throw the long ball is the most glaring weakness of the group, and another QB needs to get a shot. The draft will/would be a slow process, and that should be started. Either Jackson or Thigpen has to go. Or trade for a guy like Kirk Cousins, a talented backup. So, if one has to go, I voet Fitz, but only in another year or two, when a prepared successor is ready.
