entropyrules

jahnyc, well put....the holes will be greater than ever...doubtful they can fill all the holes in one off-season ......not sure if fans would agree with the approach of simply writing off next year (the schedule is horrifically difficult), dumping salary and limiting spending huge on re-signs but if the Bills are looking at another 2-3 year re-build under Ryan going 5-11 or 6-10 next year may be the way to go....heck we may even be at 6-10 this year

It starts at the top....lately they have been doing a decent job of drafting but not great I would say that the inability to hire a real coach and obtain a QB that is even slightly better than average has been their major problem - you lose all those close games when you can't coach (clock management and half time adjustments) and you don't have a QB who can drive the field (even for FG range) in the last two minutes of the half/game....with either one of those the Bills would be sitting at 8-5 instead of 6-7 right now.

pretty depressing on how the team went from few needs to an almost 50% roster upgrade

Skins 31 Bills 17...run for the bus begins this week

by Bayesian analysis using "priors" the probability is pretty close to 100% thank god these type of stats don't apply to professional teams...usually

Shouldn't coaching be our first priority?

Last week was a reprieve from the inevitable...the Bills will drop at least one of the next two..they'll probably beat Dallas and the Jets I think its the Eagles that effectively end the Bills chances for the playoffs..Sproles with another outstanding game because this team can't tackle (and game plan against these type of RBs) and they'll simply throw screens to him every chance they get and he'll slip away for big yardage on half of those screens Eagles 31 Bills 17 and no I don't want them to lose but this coaching staff is abysmal..if they do win the next four then feel free to flame me for really disliking this coaching staff

defense too banged up and we have a horrific coaching staff..i am rooting for a Bills win but rationally Texans 31 Bills 20

head says Chefs 24 Bills 18 heart says Bills 17 Chefs 16 going with heart this time....the loss of Mario really hurts us but you never know

in your article you have Goodwin remaining...does anyone think the Bills will hang onto Goodwin? As a former track guy I love Goodwin but he does seem to be injured more than healthy and its a lost roster spot with him every year

its spelled sarcasm

January 1, 1967. if we had won the Bills would have owned Green Bay in SB 1..we simply matched up better than KC

does anyone know who the best long snapper is coming out - Sanborn is getting up there in age ok so I had a few beers waiting for the Sabres game..trying doing wilkes shapiro normality tests after several bottles of Ruination...darn those graphs are all starting to look the same

its over..positioning for draft pick now 7-2 not possible

Bills 24 Jags 17..because they simply have to win or its turn off the lights for this season

always want then to win but its doubtful this team is going anywhere this year with the injuries and the sh.....tty coaching maybe during the annual Bills' end of season golfing Rex will have an epiphany and some how become a good coach in any case I hope they never tank..yea I know we lose out on the potential great QB but the Bengals are a good example of building a team without a QB drafted in the 1st round

good observations nothing on the coaching (note that Roman playcall almost took out Taylor for the season with that hit to teh knee) - I think the coaching for this team is suspect would love to hear counter observation and why

They simply have to win - not sure how now that the offense is severely hobbled but Bills 20 Titans 14 otherwise to paraphrase Louis the XIV its "apres cet le deluge"

Rambo hit someone other than Darby

the O today looks like Gaileys ... throw 2yds short of the sticks

well its not an afc conf game so a loss is not a killer makes beating the Titans and Bengals an imperativ

but that's kind of damning with faint praise by comparing to Jauron..we shall see by the end of the season..hope you are right because man these games get depressing when you know your team has better players than the other team and we still can't win

two not so good coaching staffs facing off...Bills have the better over-all team and the fins are banged up..then again the fins are at home, a slightly better QB and desperate for redemption after losing to the jags..I can see it going down to a late FG by the fins to win 20-17 but the Bills really need this game so its Bills 28 Fins 27 with late Taylor heroics to win with no time left. Both the Fins and Bills coaching staffs make significant adjustments about 15 minutes after the game ends

The theme song for any fan of the Bills should be "Drive Me Crazy."

At the beginning of the season I thought the O line would be at least average. After watching the first two games where the Ds they faced were not particularly great the O line appears to be below mediocre. In addition in spite of the first half against an incredibly mediocre Colts team the D hasn't been much better. I think the fins D line is going to give the Bill's O fits and Taylor is going to spend most of his time running for his life. Now in running for his life he manages to escape 4 or 5 times for 30 yds each then its possible for a Bills' win..one can always hope. The big Q for this game is "Will the Bills D of last year show up?" If it shows like this last Sunday get ready for a depressing Monday.
