No, no, no!

http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/this_weekend_in_nfl_stupid/18118376?linksrc=story_article_right_head_18118376 I know, you have to make the playoffs, but even coaches of good teams, with HOF QB's over-coach!

Well, all you haters must be loving this. another 2-3 year experiment coming up. No HC, no QB, might = NO playoffs.....have to see how this plays out.

My $0.02 - these guys, good or bad, play for the HC, with passion. That's something we haven't seen in awhile. OL needs to be fixed, then you can make some judgements about how far you go with QB and HC. They know that Orton is stopgap at best, so I don't get too worked up about it. I don't see the "blow it up" scenario happening at this point, also, IMO, they weren't a "lock" to be a playoff team this year. I enjoyed the season - it was fun to be a Bills fan again (you should have heard the Pats fans in the bar today getting all over Brady & company for dropping passes, missing throws, etc. - loved it!).

Listen, I just brought attention to something that happened in the game, no need to start acting like you are some Mutha Superior.

Yup!

No, I don't enjoy watching Orton play, but I merely pointed out that one of the best at QB got down rather than risk injury. I do think, in Orton's case, Buffalo is looking for anything that resembles leadership at QB, and KO could have done better than slide.

I wonder if the GB fans are complaining about Aaron"s slide to avoid getting crushed?

Okay

Okay

This is a game day thread. No need to close it.

Seen enough of KO - Time to put EJ back in

No! Just a dumb idea.

Couldn't be more even, except, of course, we have trouble running the rock, and we the QB is sacked more often. Given that scenario, the consensus fix seems to be, spread it out more and throw it more. As long as the QB stays upright, I don't have a problem with that. BTW, the turnover ratio is +7, Bills.

Interesting (to me, anyways) analysis - not that Jerry is one of my favs, mind you. http://www.buffalonews.com/columns/jerry-sullivan/hacketts-critics-are-too-nearsighted-20141027

Nice opinion - just wondering why more "coaches' can't do the 10 minute fix?

I agree with your thoughts about the HC. Almost without exception, when teams change coaches, they go through a growing pains period. Do you really want to take a team on the cusp of the playoffs and put them back another 2 years? Remember that key D players like KW don't have that much time left. I, too, have not seen any definitive evidence that players are revolting against the HC. If anything, it has been refreshing to see how much fight they have when things aren't going their way. As far as the OC is concerned, it's hard to make chicken salad out of chicken feathers. Remember the scorn leveled at CJ because all's he wanted to do was bounce it outside, something that wasn't effective, at all. I like the smash mouth running into the middle, even if they don't bust things lose. It's boring as hell and is exactly what you want to be doing to keep your QB alive. Remember, the second option when KO goes down, is to bring in EJ., THAT'S SCARY!

You negatives are idiots. Just sit in your easy chairs and eat yourvwings,and keep quiet. 5-3 speakes for itself. You have no idea what the coaches see. A 20 point win on the road in a place we haven't EVER won. Just shut up!
