Well, I will start with the obvious two.... 1. Help I've fall'en and I can't get up! and..... 2. Did anyone get a look at the license plate on that Semi? But, I am more inclined to like Just in Atlanta's caption.

Really? So, when Rex is gone all our problems just..... POOF, go away. Get real. You should really think before you type dude. First and foremost, a new owner does not change culture in one season. The Pegulas have had one offseason. Not to mention the fact that the coach is just ONE piece of the puzzle to a winning team. It takes every aspect of a team to Win. Coaching, players, GM, and your training staff.

Agree with everything you just said Kirby, but you left out an important piece (imo anyway). That is conditioning and health of the players. What I find funny is people complaining about how bad our teams have been and blaming coaching, GM....Owner, or whatever. But these are just individual pieces to a puzzle. A puzzle this team has been hapless at solving. We have had different GM's, different coaches (some good, some not so good) but we seem to have the same results every year. Our players can't stay on the field. They are always getting injured. We loose players like my kids lost their socks when they were little (at the drop of a hat). It's mind boggling. Yes every team deals with it, but not every year like we do. Someone please correct me if I am off base on this, but for the most part haven't we had the same strength and conditioning people on staff for a while. I know the head trainer has changed a few times here and there, but the remaining staff has been the same....right? Could this be part of our problem?

OMG! Funniest post i have read in a while.

What the hell does his last name have to do with anything. The notion that he will be any good because he's a Kelly is ridiculous. He very well may grow to be a great quarterback, but if he does it will have nothing to do with his last name. It has to do with the talent he has and what he does with it. Does he end up a bone head like Ryan leaf or does he go the way of Manning? Won't know until he gets to the NFL...if he gets to the NFL. Saying that he will because he;s a Kelly..... Please!

I don't understand this mentality of looking back that everyone seems to have. People did it with Marv when he became GM, and when it's been discussed that Jim Kelly become a coach etc.... etc....etc... We need to look forward not back. Just because he is related to Jim Kelly or because he has worked with him, it does not mean this kid will be any good. People though Marv would be a great GM because he was a great coach (insert buzzer sound here)....wrong. players and coaches need to be evaluated for what they are not who they are or who they are related it. There is no room for nostalgia when evaluating talent, whether a coach or a player.

No disrespect to you, but the ignorance of this statement astounds me. Broken fingers...yea, tape them up and move on. I get that. The rest of it....in today's day of what we know about the body and the damage this game does to said body. I find it hard to believe that you actually believe what you just said. Just because that was how it was done then, does not mean that it has to be that way now. under your premise we should still be carrying clubs around and hitting our women over their head and dragging them back to our homes because, well hey, that's how it was done in the stone age. Give me break. Time to arrive in the 21st century! Well said Heels!!!!

I still find this hysterical. I can't watch it without laughing until my eyes water.

Is that ranking of the schedule based on this years performance or last years? I thought they were based on the previous years performances, which is why I have never put much stock in the ranking of schedules. It's like saying I will get an A in math this year because I got one last year. (Not that I EVER got an A in math. LOL!!)

Over the last 3 games I would tend to agree with you. Unfortunately the first 2 games of the season still count. I am a wait and see kind of guy when it comes to "has this Bills team finally turned the corner". These next two are games are what most everyone will expect them to win. If they can win these games with strong performances and not "squeak by", then I will agree fully, this is not the same ol' Bills.

The missed extra points would not be an issue for carpenter if he started kicking from the center of the field vs the left or right hash mark, IMO anyway. I am pretty sure someone else has made this remark in other threads as well.

No one is going to start saying that until we start winning on a regular bases. Agreed, we were the more prepared team. I think some of the key differences were that Dennis Thurman was calling the defensive plays and not Rex and that you can't prepare for a coordinator that has never called offensive plays before. Clearly though he seems to know what he is doing. hope we can keep the momentum going.

Not going to happen. The Patsies just beat Houston with their thirs string QB and Houston is a better team then we are at this point. Losing to NE with Brissett will have no effect on Rex's employment status.

Not for nothing here people, he was lousy as a GM and had no business being a GM, but it's hard to argue his business acumen. He is a college graduate from ST John Fisher, Interned with the Bills Executive management, worked for the Yankees and the Marlins during their championships and I have to say a marketing genius. I'm, EVERY year they have put out a crap product and we keep buying what he sells. I hate to admit it, but from a business perspective, If I'm the owner and see that he see what he has "accomplished" I don't know if I could fire the guy. Not as president anyway. If he was GM then yea, fire his a$$.

If they wanted to lift the curse, Flutie should have been in the jersey. I'm actually a Flutie fan, so I would rather just cut the head off a live chicken and do that voodoo BS they talk about in the movie Major League. LOL!!! I know, I know..... this is Football and i used a Baseball reference.

Shocked to say the least.

Same goes here!! Love it!! Cool azz shiznit, BigPappy

The players are risking it because of the benefits they are getting by smoking it. I watched an Inside the NFL episode that discussed the use of weed with players. There are actually studies that show that Marijuana aids in the healing of your brain after a concussion, as well as the already documented use for pain relief. There are also some initial studies that show they may lessen the severity of a concussion in someone that is already an occasional user. There are always risks when you don't follow the rules, its just a mitigated risk and as far as a player is concerned the benefits of using it far out weigh the risks. personally i think It should be removed from the banned usage list. It's not a performance enhancing drug. Furthermore, its becoming legal in more and more states and its a natural way for players to reduce pain levels vs filling their bodies with sometimes toxic chemicals. But that is jmho.

Fair enough. Thanks Yolo, I didn't know he actually got interviews.

....And what point did you make? I'm sorry, but do you work for the Bill's? Were you there in the offices every day watching them make things "unbearable" for Marrone. I seriously doubt it! So really...You don't no a dam thing about what happened. You're no better than the media with all of their speculation. Your guessing that they made it unbearable for him. The only fact everyone (including you) knows is that he quit, he walked out on his team. Period!! He's so coveted as a head coach, he didn't get any interviews.

I have done the same thing. The fact is though, His body is going to catch up with him. It would not surprise me if he takes one vicious hit and gets seriously hurt. Not that I really care mind you. A-holes like him never know when its time to hang it up until its too late. BigPappy

Exactly right!! It should be mandated that if you want to play in the NFL you have to graduate from College to enter the draft. This way, when their career in Football is over they already have the degree to pursue what ever else it was they wanted to do with their lives. BigPappy

Ding ding ding.....We have a winner here! I'll even go one step further and say that it should not be one of Rex's former defensive staff stooges that he hasn't already hired. BigPappy

If Denver gets to the the big game, I am rooting for them. If its anyone else I am rooting for the NFC whom ever it is. Most likely the Panthers. They seem unbeatable. BigPappy
