Despite the legitimate sarcasm and criticism of the Defense here in many comments, I don't find roman's firing to be illogical. the O has not looked good.....its a long week to the next game, and if the season is to be righted, it is now. Scoring 24 points....well, ok, but one td was during prevent time....the Jets were playing back, and the Bills (finally) put together a drive against the prevent D. The other two were lightning bolts......the Goodwin play was excellant....the Salas td was a scramble...and not a designed play. Anyhow, the O has not been good, so I am OK with a change. Having said that, the D also needs fixing...lets hope that is also underway.

Yep, going to be a long season for sure. Just back from the game......the D got trashed.......and the O can't move the ball. TT bad in most short/intermediate throws.....does throw a long ball....three TD's....one a nice long ball call (88) and two scrambles (Salas and gillesselee) But, can't run the ball either. At this point, Watkins clearly playing hurt....get him out of there...hopping on one foot a few times, and no speed burst there. So, we need to see Powell as fourth receiver, Salas as third, Goodwin as second, and Wood as #1. At least they would be healthy.

Yes, I never bought the duke Richardson happy talk....and he can't run/cover Mike Wallace.....we saw that........hope he sees less time on the field, and that Aaron Williams can return to full time duty.

Aren't the Jets playing cleveland?

Quite a few years ago, when the old man died, the kids all went off on their own...using the Bocce name. And, some are better than others I must admit. I patronize the two run by one son.....the location on Bailey avenue and the one on Hopkins road. the quality in those locations is the best as always. I have tried the one on Transit in the plaza, it doesn't quite stand up to the other two I frequent.......but it has the name and is still decent. I understand there are a couple of others....one on Elmwood...never been there. Anyhow......I still do that regularily. And, when my sons return to town to attend the Bills games with me....they always have to get a Bocce Club Pizza. Curious what location you purchased from..?????

I been going there for more than 50 years, and, I do not agee with you. You must be a person of little judgement when it comes to excellent PIZZA!

Miller was hurt so bad last year in the final games that he did not belong on the field imho. I saw him in the Dallas game, and he could barely walk off the field. He should not have been out there imho. Healthy, who knows, but has to be better than last year post injury.

Some NFL customers put great store in obeying the law in all 50 states. (read corporations with boxes, tv ads guys, etc etc) So, they HAVE to enforce the law of the land........you can have your opinion, but, the law is the law...wherever. The NFL, then, cannot say they now approve stoners in league.

Actually, McGahee was a good pro...not great but good....8-9 year career. Of course, he didn't have much of a head on him...they had to signal in the plays to him separately.....yes, they did that for Sspiller also.

Another possibility, instead of trying to look so deeply into why the single wing plays against Detroit. Maybe Rex was trying to NOT SHOW our regular offense on film to early season foes. I am thinking we won't see the single wing stuff again this year............he was punking Harbough...........study this single wing stuff....and don't work quite as hard on what we have run in the past........so, basically, I am saying, the single wing plays at Detroit were a mind game for the Ravens.

I still have hopes for O Leary...........he did look good Thursday night catching all those passes from Cardale.....who, for some reason, really likes OLeary as a receiver. No drops........OLeary was a go to guy at FSU, he has been there before as a receiver. But, he has to do the blocking to be an effective TE in the league. Anyhow, without Gragg (also mostly a receiver type TE), OLeary was the best choice for now. Who know, OLeary may yet surprise us...sometimes it takes a while for new men to get up to speed in the league.

Gronkowski will be on the practice team, not the 53 man roster. Henderson will get to take the year off...non football etc.(good writeup above on that) I am not sure about Meeks........Blanton might keep the slot imho. Lattimore did look good, but I don't see a slot. Disappointed that after 3 years, Randall Johnson will be cut. He was supposed to be a stud, but never made it onto the field as part of the D.

Unfortunately, really no choice imho. Cardale not ready to backup........and need at least one who has been through camp...unless you pickup an old timer.....like Sanchaise.......Pleeeeeasssse.....don't do that to us.........

Well, the Rams are loaded in the D line.....so a castoff there might still have talent. I am a little tired of looking for Jets retreads though.........Rex D is like a Swiss watch, and hard to learn apparently. In the end, though, the reason not to sign him....as indicated above, is the lack of fire in the belly.......its lots easier to tone a player down (see J Hughes)...than it is to jack them up.

Dallas bound

I can tell you what Marrone was doing with Pears at guard. He was playing guard(not very well btw)...AND, he was telling Henderson what to do on every play at RT. (I am not making this up....that was the motivation of moving Pears to guard..on field coach)

I watched the game......extended action for EJ. I have been watching him four years now.......he kept his head mostly against Washington. But, his long throws were bad....he has never been able to throw the long ball accurately like TT. He still misses by 5-10 yards. A strong arm....YES....and accurate arm, NO. Sooooooohe will be our backup this year....but I am not sure he gives our bills a chance to win........here in Buffalo, he will never live down the meltdown in London against the Jags. (even though he brought the bills back and they had a chance to pull it out at the end) EJ is playing out the contract here....and I wish him good luck where ever he lands next year. Always a class act...he just doesn't have #1 skills in the NFL. I saw Bill Polian's comments on ESPN just after the Bills brain trust drafted EJ. Polian was beside himself, calling EJ a project etc etc. Turns out Polian was correct....but the alternative...Gino of the Jets was probabily a worse choice. The Bills just drafted a first round QB in a bad QB year. Shows front office weakness....Polian knew, none of the Bills brain trust knew.

I saw it too, and again on replay. Yes, the body slam was excessive, but I was more worried about the helmet hit he took to the ribs when he was up in the air. I could see a couple of broken ribs from that hit alone. If you have it on tape...take a look again.

Goodwin should not be given a roster spot.......need to fill with healthy wr's. Despite what he may be when healthy........he is way to brittle for the NFL game......something like Roscoe Parrish.....but more brittle. (if that is possible)

The Bills will use the PUP list for him..meaning 7th game I think. I like all the feel good stuff about S Henderson here.....but, its a long road back from a big cut like that. And, his digestive track needs to be able to processes the calories it takes to play the game. And, if the Fl newspaper was correct, he still needs to get back 10 lb more. I think SH may be headed for injured reserve....non football or something like that. My feeling is he is not two weeks away from real football shape....maybe 2 months....but not two weeks.

I think Rex was part of the decision.....Carlos lost his mind, and, wasn't going to play much at all this year....as he was not in shape, and had no training camp to speak of.....others WAY ahead of him in terms of preparedness. The fact that he showed up at Camp weighing more than he was at OTA's speaks volumes. And, Rex and the coaches are not babhysitters. Now, I could argue that the team incl front office should be providing some support for those that need it.....think how Dallas takes care of their prima donna wr..Dez.......but, can't do that for everybody.

OK, but I have not yet put Shaq in the star category, as he has yet to see the field. MD IS a star...shaq...tbd.

He played many plays well. But, he did get beat when EJ came in and EJ was blindsided....of course, TT would step out of the way, but EJ was clueless and got wiped out......still, it was on Kujo. Also, when the Bills went for 2 after the third TD......TT had to call timeout....as Kujo was not on the field......leaving TT to spot there was not left tackle. So, 23, a third year pro...and his head not yet in the game so to speak. Still, he does look much better than I expected this summer. And, I would not rule out the bad knee theory about his best position. Of course, we have CG......and, moving CG to right tackle to make room for Kujo seems nuts to me as has been suggested elsewhere. Still, we might have a better line overall if we did that. I am guessing Kujo will play out his rookie contract here and be gone..who knows where.

I hope you are right.

So, if the suspension is really 6 games....for DV....and Lawson gets that penality..........maybe, just maybe, the muscle problem was a cover story....and they were planning on not having Manny for 6 games............who knows. They clearly knew about Darius in advance....so many extra DL on the team. Couldn't understand the recent signing until today.....
