I'd really like to see the Bills trade out of pick 10 and go down some if they can find a trade partner.. My feeling is this draft will have enough CB's, WR's & safeties to find one later. What I don't see being possible to draft after round 2 is a useful OT. I think we need one (RT). Get an extra 2nd rounder and look at corners, safeties and wide outs with the extra pick or maybe someone like Derek Rivers would be in play too. They have many needs and few picks so trading down more than once wouldn't bother me at all.

They've been doing a lot of shopping at the Dollar Store. I'd like to see them, if possible, trade down on draft day and acquire a few more higher valued players. They have needs all over the place that I don't think can be addressed at this level of free agent signing.

Keep drafting one till you get it right. TT in the interim is fine, however long that might be. Don't give up on it though. Throw the most resources at the hardest position.

All I know is he'd likely make a wonderful pick up for the Patriots if he left here.

Even though it is clearly not real, it sounds pretty much like total reality to me regarding Pegula's thoughts on TT.

Gee if you would have asked me about taking a QB that played in Mississippi and was 6'2" tall I might have suggested the 3 year starter from Starkville rather than the 1 1/2 year guy in Oxford. How'd that Prescott fella turn out anyway?

Nobody chases their tail better than the Buffalo Bills. Absolutely my biggest fear. Only a team with no brain could do this twice right?

As soon as they announce him I can hate him. Until then, enjoy the games this weekend. Who knows, maybe one of the coaches on these teams will be the guy we hate soon!

I only hope it is someone that won't change the team's approach to running the ball. Going from Marrone and his ploddy big guards that couldn't move at all in space to what they've had these past 2 years has been refreshing. Averaging over 25 points a game is good. The D needed fixing more than the O. I'd hate to see them abandon it and destroy the strength of the team. (Sort of the flip of what Rex did to Schwartz's defense). Improve the wide receivers and in my opinion (and I understand why others differ), keep Tyrod (keep drafting till you find something better) and keep working with him and Jones. I am very fearful that whoever they hire will take them back more than a few steps and cost years of having to undo it again. The Bills chase their tails better than any team I've ever seen.

Watson is the answer only if the question is who the next failed QB will be.

If one is to believe DW from his presser yesterday, it would seem he has very little actual say in anything other than pro personnel and the college draft. If that is the reality and not just him attempting to dodge his responsibility for the the Rex situation, then there would be no need for Coughlin to fire him if Coughlin were hired. He would not be a threat as a decision maker. Coughlin would report to Terry and Kim and DW would work with him on finding what they need. Unless, of course, Coughlin has his own draft/personnel guy he wants. Frankly, after how it turned out in NY for him, I can't suspect Coughlin has a ready made personnel guy in waiting. George Young ain't walking through that door any time soon.

They trade down with some club desperate to get at the last 1st round QB (who turns out like Gabbert, which is exactly how our crackerjack scouting dept saw it too). Desperately seeking multiple safeties, wide receivers and just bodies in general to replace the enormous loss through free agency, the more tradedowns the merrier.

I underscored the main point about the Bills drafting. It's quite a rip job but there are some fair points. http://mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2016/12/31/nfl-week-17-sheldon-richardson-contract-sam-bradford-buffalo-bills-teddy-bridgewater-michael-bennett

This!

It was such a Billsy kind of loss. That OT play with Reggie Bush is the worst thing I've seen in I don't know how long.

Terrible! A killer! So 'cute" when there was no need for cute.

Wouldn't be surprised if Lynn is new HC (avoiding Whaley involvement) and the new coach finds a DC. No Whaley, no Brandon. I hope they redo the training staff. It is ridiculous how many injured players are re-injured and how many overuse injuries there have been. Too big of an investment to have the best players out as much as they have been.

This team has a lot of issues besides Tyrod's inability to find receivers and throw the middle of the field. (Though that is certainly one of them). Their defense still stinks. They cannot stop any team with a decent QB and their run defense and pass rush arent very good either. I'm ready to move on from Rex. I like their rushing offense (much like I liked their Schwartz led D when Marrone bailed out, so gutting the whole thing is tough to stomach). I HATE these rebuilds where you change systems and that require 2 drafts and multiple free agent classes to get the "right" players. I have no problems moving on the coach now and think canning Whaley and Brandon has merit too. I do NOT want any of them picking another QB!

Totally agree. I dread every game against a good QB. The pass rush has dropped off dramatically, there are almost no turnovers created, good backs gash them (especially in first halves it seems) and they still can't cover a tight end (how many years has this been going on for...it's amazing).

ZERO pass rush. Horrifying QB play the last quarter and a half. Bad special teams. Lots of blame to go around. They are what their record says they are.

Even though I like the spot with the Raiders having a key divisional contest with KC on Thursday, I just don't think our defense can hold up. I don't feel like this team has played a complete solid game in a long time, whether due to injuries or coaching or talent or whatever. They'd need one today to have any chance. Raiders 33-17

I wasn't focused on Hughes much this game but geez, what has happened to his pass rush? There was very little pressure from him or Lorax and Bortles had a lot of time most of the time. It helped Bortles get room to run when the secondary and line backers got deeper. The first half I was not enamored with anyone on either line but Dareus (in the 2nd quarter anyway). At least they made some corrections and sucked it up and played a little more passionately in the 2nd half. The defense looks really shaky and they need much better focus and performance the next 2 games. Their safeties really look cluless.

Carpenter Both P. and Z Brown (all over the field, Cinci had no run game to speak of) Kyle Groy (1st game as a starter and the monster across from him didn't kill us)

Hawks 24-6

Beating Cinci than either New England (I am really pessimistic on this one) or Seattle on a Monday night in Seattle no less. They absolutely have to be no worse than 5-5 to have any hope of a stretch run playoff burst. Even then they'd have to at least split with Oakland/Pittsburgh.
