This!!!!

RG3 is more interested in his personal "franchaise" than in football. (more Subway commercials etc) He is bad attitude personified......and the Bills don't need that kind of help. Kap...well, if SF doesn't want him after having him for 4 years.....I would say we should also pass. I think TT might be better, has a decent arm, and is dangerous on the run. Of course, TT is more brittle than Kap, but all QB's get hurt some...even Brady lost most of one season. Need to run out the string on TT to see if he progresses.....we know EJ has not, lets see if TT can/ Four years behind Flacco brought maturity and leadership capabiity, but little if any time on the field, so TT is really a rookie this year in terms of playing a lot. A second year in the same system...can help everybody...will the Bills ever learn the value of continutiy in coaching? Maybe......

The Bills bring EJ off the bench to reprise his highlight pick6 throw to JJ Watt.......oh wait, they already did that in London with Jacksonville....never mind. The Bills have had it this year, the D can't stop the run, especially with Bradham out of there. Look for Houston to win in an discouragingly easy game for them. Glad to go and enjoy a Dec game at 50F, but, not expecting much from this team...the Bills do not have their act together at this point.

Henderson looks the part of an NFL tackle, but has not performed well in 2 years. A project when he arrived, he has not arrived as a completed project. Might be time to move on. Unfortunately, the 2d rd choice, KJ, is not up to it either. Anybody want to second guess Marrone and Co for keeping KJ off the field. The new coaching administration (REX team) now doing the same thing. Whaley may have to give up on this guy..........cut him loose. He is still young, but has not impressed in two years either. KJ a healthy move down the depth chart. guessing KJ is gone nextg year.

Actually, since Ryan reports to the Pegula's (an unusual situation to say the least), the Pegs DO have to step in........in a normal world, the coach works for the GM. But, Whaley didn't get to hire "his" coach, so Ryan is Pegs problem.......

I wonder how many other Head Coaches report to the owner.....not to many I am guessing. (maybe Bellicheck) Reason we have it....a light weight GM....Rex (and many other coaching candidates) would not agree to report to Whaley. I think the whole thing either needs to be blown up at the top....and bring in a football guy to run it....or, take a chance and see if Whaley can grow up fast and hire his own coach. I think the Pegs bought Rex line of BS....great interview, meh coach.

Rich Gannon, calling the game for CBS, was beside himself bei9ng critical of the Bills coaching staff for not getting the challenges correct. He has seen it done correctly elsewhere. the league has passed Rex by imho.

Bills the underdog here, lots going against them. KC going good, injuries, short week etc. So, all the predictions heavily in favor of KC. But, wait a minute.....they still have to play the game. If the coaches get a good game plan together, this team has the talent to win.....thats why they still have to play the game....the pickers don't get to decide the players have to do that on the field. This is definitely gut check time for this team, though.

I can tell you are not a season ticket holder who has to go sit in the elements at night in the Ralph. I am a season ticket holder, and praying we don't get flexed to a night game..........especially in January!!!!

Mario has been great on the field since he got here....years of double digit sacks. Now, imho, Rex scheme this year has not worked well, Pettine ran similar and got it done with those same players. And, the management saw fit to change D coordinators several years in a row. this is the kind of problem you get when you don't run the same scheme two years in a row...players having to change roles, and instincts don't always align with the current scheme. I also remember Mario choose to leave the Texans because he didn't want to play in a 3x4. He came to Buffalo to play a 4x3 (and get paid)..He has been totally whipsawed in terms of the scheme..with those being done alternately the last 4 years. (you could make this situaion up for a case in bad managment, but you don't need to make it up, it really happened to the Bills D and players) OK, ownership change, changes in coaching etc etc. but, continuity brings depth of knowledge to players, and these guys are just now learning Rex D. If Mario were cut, he would be snapped up immediately by many others. The guy on the Jets......he has been trouble.....oh oh....that means Rex will definitely want him.

He had a horrible miss on a block run to the left early in the game last night......no way he should run by that guy. He doesn't get the scheme. Another example of doing all new everything in the first year of a new coaching staff. No continuity.....everybody wondering what to do.

So is JJ Watt

I wonder if the players union negotiated policy on practice time has impacted the ability ot REX and staff from covering all this two minute drill stuff properly? Only so many minutes allowed on the field. Certainly hurts a first year coaching staff after a total change of coaches. (well, almost, Crossman and Henderson stayed) Anyhow, the coaching job certainly looks incomplete. Might also be some players lack the mental capacity to absorb all of this stuff a once...that is one season. (not pointing at any individuals right now) Having said all that, I am shuddering to see how Henderson does against JJ Watt.

Yes, watched the Texans/Jets today. Same old Fitz, lots of heart but always with the int at the end. In todays case, two of them.

"Friday Nite Fights" was a big TV item in my youth. But, they went to pay TV, and the audience dwindled. NFL will make the same mistakes in slow motion, might take 40 years to play it out. I haven't watched a fight since the Rocky Marciano days (for you younger readers here, that was a real Rocky), allthough I did know who C. Clay was. (later Ali) don't know the name of a current single pro fighter...and don't really care. TNF really is tough on the players, and I believe the quality of the game decreases with the short turn around from a sunday game......bad idea for the fan imho. Not a fan of the Yahoo streaming....we did the side by side comparison for the Jacksonville game. Lets hope the NFL doesnt get to tricky and screw it up.

Uhhhh...WRONG...Gragg is a borderline NFL player...not sure he is around much longer.....Chandler is more like a journeyman. Big difference, actually.

Nobody has mentioned money. Chandlers release was about money too. Chandler was scheduled to make 2.75 mil, I think. He was asked to take a haircut ala Urbik (who went from $3 mil to $1mil) Chandler refused and was cut. the Pats made a point of signing him for.....I think $100K over the Bills salary he was cut from . Making him make ($2.85 mil, I think) So, lots of good football talk here on this thread, but, the money was part of the equation....and mayb e more than the on field performance imho. Also, Chandler hadd some killer days against the Pats thinking back over a few years....so they bought the on field performance.

We did have some success. TT lead them back after having a terrible middle of the game. O stalled big time, but then got back in gear. Hopefully they can pickup where they left off. With McCoy healthy and Carlos waiting his turn, there is a chance. Still, Pats are favored....can't argue with that. Bills 2 out of 5 to win MNF this year IMHO.

Actually, I am hoping, after two incidents of radio failures, that the bills throw away the NFL provided headsets, and buy something that really works. TT burned two timeouts, maybe three on this problems. Seems to me this ranks up there with a great game plan. It would be big not to have this happen again (sarcasism)

Buffalo guys get no respect......it has to do with the small market perception of most of the country. Thats why its so sweet to beat the Jets in NY...or anytime for that matter. This

I have to admit that I don't follow the NFC to speak of. And, I had Zero feel for him when they traded for him. So, after a couple of good performances after a slow start as a Bill, I now see he is a premium talent. How much he has left in the tank remains to be seen, but looking forward to him being what he has been for the last couple of games.

Divisional game...time to put up or shut up. Yes, playoff contender status IS at stake. Need thursday night bad.....after the debacle in London. Of course, if tyrod goes down again, its all over for this season. EJ's meltdown in London has greatly dimished the teams prospects imho. No only did we book the loss, we learned the backup at QB is not reliable, hopefully once and for all.

I love the Bills to win every time, but ESPECIALLY in NY. I love it when the NY media has to eat crow...and wine about losing to the upstate no names. Now, the REX thing means nothing to me.....I care negatively about REX bs.......can he coach a winning effort? THAT is what this the relevant issue about REX......But, the media in NY (and Buffalo unfortunately) seem to want to push all REX's patter on us. I am willing to tolerate him as coach, but I hate his PR acting every week.

Even on the deep ball they caught on him, the receiver was contained, and did not get the TD, as Leo kept in the game and tackled the guy. So, I am ok with that happening once in a while. I think McKelvin will yet contribute substantially to this team. Of course, Leo still has better wheels....but Corey has better ball skills.

The comments on speach may or may not be correct. But, that is a form issue.....I am interested in substance...that is how good is he at handling the roster. Right now, I think OK, made some mistakes, but had some good hits as well.
