Well mine will be...
To brave the bars and attempt to deal with a crowd full of drunk ignorant cowboys fans seeing I'm in Texas and it'll be one of the few games this season on TV

Not necessarily a pass oriented league. Even teams that were known for their passing attack, such as GB and NE, have shown that they are capable of a considerable running game... Seattle is more known for their running but has a QB that can make the thrown when needed. It shows that it's not just a passing oriented league, its becoming more balanced. If we can find a capable quarterback who can manage the game and make the necessary throws, then we could possibly find our team playing this time next year. Doesn't have to be "elite" just better than the average Joe and better than what we've put out on the field so far

2015 NFL unrestricted free agents by team - NFL.com
Decent list of the available options, some interesting names on there as well
Rex's tandem from 2010 of Revis/Cromartie are both available
A few decent options at guard
With some possible restructuring and signing our FA we would want to keep, Who would you choose?
Currently I believe we have about $25mil worth of cap space
-
Can you blame them? After the way he left here and what has come out since? I wouldn't want someone who skips out on their team and tattles on the FO to prospective candidates. Not to mention all the stories that have come out regarding his character. I know it's journalists writing them but there is usually some basis of truth behind them no matter how exaggerated and it's been enough to make anyone weary. Let the bastard rot, hope he enjoys the free $4mil and doesn't get to work in the NFL again
-
I would worry about him with the current state of the O Line, but I for one wouldn't turn it down. Even in his decline it's still a drastic improvement from what we have

My 3 point plan for success in the upcoming season:
1) Get an above average QB not named EJ Manuel
2) Get an above average QB not named EJ Manuel
3) Get an above average QB not named EJ Manuel
If this three-prong plan is followed, we will be in the playoffs.
Given the available options out there... who would you choose? There's not much out there that really strikes me as an overwhelming choice. It sounds great when you say it fast, but then you have to introduce reality into the equation
-
and as far as Spiller goes. Does he have explosive potential, Yes, but the consistent production wasn't there, injuries, fumbles. No one is going to pay big money for that. With the rum game philosophy coming to town I can see him staying for a decent price and with our committee of RBs having a role to play
-
First off, to the OP, I don't see that list being in best to least likely order. I do however see Manning in a downward spiral physically. I don't see him coming here as a QB, but what would be the possibility he would make the transition into coaching. The Neck injury a few years ago, quad injury now... He know's his body is starting to fail him and he can't produce at his former level and he doesn't want to just quit football. He's been around long enough, already calls plays, start off as a QB coach... I wouldn't mind someone like him coming in and coaching EJ
-
It's not Pettine system it's Ryan's. He won't be hands off. He's the HC and will run the D. Having said that, I really liked Schwartz's D
I was a fan of Schwartz's D too and I agree Pettine's defense is in the style of Rex's, but Rex's usually do better against the run
and I would see Kiko as more of the OLB... coming off the edge and coverage
-
I'll wait and see on that one... ole Dougie was supposed to be an O line guy too wasn't he? I wasn't impressed how that turned out
-
I think it's a possibility. Wanting to bring in a couple of veteran QBs to compete. Do I see him making it, No, but I can see it happening
-
and take into account, another good season with a top D and Schwartz gets a nod from someone for HC. Then we lose our DC and we're back to square one. A year ago we went through the same crap. One spin on this is there's going to be a consistent defense for the next few years and the scheme isn't totally unfamiliar. Plus Rex's defense is a bit better at stopping the run than Pettine's was. Thing's will be fine
-
ST is what helped keep us in some of the games we won. I see this as a plus especially if we keep the ST specialists. A good ST play can be a momentum changer
-
I've seen quite a few mixed reaction regarding this choice. But honestly, I don't see it as all bad considering the choices. What? they could have went with some unknown quantity and just see how it went? He at least has HC experience, no he's not the most offensive minded choice out there... but when you think about it, if we would have grabbed an offensive minded candidate and kept Schwartz in another year after another season with a top defense someone would be looking at him for a HC position and he would be gone. We're then back to square one again. At least with this choice there is a proven defensive mind running the show and there can be some consistency. It's not like this style of defense is completely foreign, year before last we played a similar style.
The reasoning why I can see why Rex would choose to come to Buffalo... First part, Ego, he still gets his shot to try and prove himself against the Patriots twice a year and now he gets two shots a season to beat up on the team who fired him. He's a defense guy and he was just handed a bunch of new toys to play with. A top ranked defense stacked with talent. No, he's not the offensive minded coach that some were hoping for around here, but it's not as if our offense is totally devoid of talent. With the choice of Roman as OC, they lean towards a run heavy, ball control, ground and pound offense. We have considerable talent at WR and look at the selection of RBs we have... Spiller, Jackson, Dixon, Brown... all considerable backs in their respect. If the focus in the offseason is to build up and fix the O line, then average QB play would be sufficient to easily get us into the playoffs. If we have someone under center that is competent, then who knows how far we can go.
I don't see the defense regressing under Ryan's scheme, can't get any worse than we had with Hackett as OC, Roman is a definite upgrade. This isn't the way I thought it would end up but I can see some big positives coming from this
-
I'm leaning towards Gase, Bevell, or Shanahan... Reich would be a cute choice just because of the history, I just don't see him proven enough. Don't want a defensive guy coming in trying to fix something that isn't broken.
-
I could be on board for a Shanahan hire. You also have to take in account the choices available... We all can safely say that we would like someone who has more of an offensive approach because we are quite satisfied with the defense in it's current state... there's a bunch of up and coming coordinators, then Shanny, Ryan, and you could throw Schwartz in there too. I sure as hell don't want Rex here. I could see Schwartz getting it, but I kinda want to see him stay as our DC. The new HC reporting directly to the owner might satisfy his power craving and if he could leave the Defense to Schwartz and focus on the offense... a re-establishment of the run game and a pick up of a QB, the Cutler suggestion comes to mind... I think that could definitely give us a good step forward for the next season

The closest one is about 2 hours from me... I'm down I-20 in a smaller town, Longview... I think I'm about the only Bills fan around in this area, I've maybe come across one or two others...lol
