January 8th, 2000 was the last playoff game for the Bills. The the next time the Bills can make the playoffs is January 2017. Terrific.

He's going to lose this challenge. And esssential lose the ones that he didn't challenge. What. A. Joke.

This is hilarious. Challenge the spot!!! At least act like you care, coach.

Incompetence by the coaches are blatantly obvious. This needs to be addressed by management.

Run. Run. Pass. Oh boy, Jets

If I was Tyrod Taylor, I'd be pretty pissed if my head coach kept clowning around with the team captains. The big "C" is on the jersey of the quarterbacks that are on the good teams. If Taylor is too inexperience for the job, fine - Eli had to earn his stripes too. But there are worthy players on this team that should be season captains. It's an honor and a major recognition in the lockerroom. All I hear about Rex is how much his players love to play for him. Maybe he should give a little back by ditching his unbelievably too immature for high school week to week captain picks.

The hurt goes deeper than 2001, as you all know.. 1989 season playoffs...the Ronnie Harmon drop. The Bills had a great team, despite the 9-7 record. The bickering Bills...but nothing brings a teams together like a road playoff win. A year earlier, the 49ers established the belief that a 9-7 team could in fact run the table and win out. Boy, the Bills missed a golden opportunity to lose 5 straight. They could have kick off the streak with a beatdown by that year's SF juggernaut. But they would have done better than Denver in SBXXIV...55-10

God you're right in the OP. The Bills peaked on the touchdown on their first drive of the NE game. That was nearly two months ago! Since then, it's been a wonder to see a team with such media hype, such euphoric enthusiasm from its fanbase lose their $^!+ for good reason.

Didn't the DC from that Raven's team interview for the Bills job 10 years ago. Rex sure gets a lot of credit for his role there. Marvin Lewis has been in Cincy ever since and has some playoff appearances to show for it. He's a pro, and wish him the best. He seems to deserve it. Rex is, unfortunately for the Bills, a true clown.

I disagree with this. Those drafts picks were used in trades for retreads. NFL teams saw what they had in those players, and passed them along. They were not good enough to stay with their current clubs, so the Bills paid handsomely for them. For these specific transactions, the Bills were gambling that another team couldn't maximize those players' potential, and that they could. So they paid the price to find out. To me, this type of transaction has been more damaging to the organization than drafting duds. You always finish out of the money. Blow a top three dick on a QB and see what happened. If he's the man, then your set. If he sucks, then you're picking another top three QB me t year.

All the flags are deserved. The Bill are ridiculously undisciplined. If you think they're are getting screwed by the refs, you're wishing.

First off, Manuel is starting against the Colts. On topic... Every single team is prepared to deal with a runner at QB. The Colts will have a plan, that may or may not work based on their defensive talent and play calling. If I were the Colts I'd make Taylor beat me with his legs. Try to flush him out of the pocket and make him run for his life. That way, McCoy, Watkins, and Clay won't get their hands on the ball, and Taylor will eventually go down with an injury. The comparisons with Russel Wilson just go to show how little Wilson is respected by NFL fans. He's been through three injury-free seasons...two Super Bowls and a ring. The guy is excellent, and nobody compares to how he's accomplished those things. He may be insane, but right now he's the third best QB in the league behind Rodgers and Luck. If Taylor was half the thrower and decision maker (passing and running) as Wilson then he'd clearly be the starter and a very good NFL quarterback. But right now, his coach doesn't believe in him enough to even declare him a starter over Manuel and Cassel. I can't tell you how Mickey Mouse this stunt is, and the whole captain thing for the Pit game....super bush league by the Bills coaching staff.

I hear you loud and clear. The offense has a ton of potential. This team as a whole "feels" like they expect to win every game. The coaches look right, with Ryan being a question mark as a truly great head coach, and the players are there. This should be a fun season indeed.

"Over" was the part in bold that I believe. Do you? There are other mobile QBs in the league. Taylor won't be the first. A defense puts in the package for that scheme and off they go. Russel Wilson beats these schemes because he is excellent with his mobility. Teams prepare for it, and he just drives them nuts. Maybe we'll see if Taylor has some of those attributes. As for Cassel, I can't imagine a situation where his actually skill sets makes a defense nervous. You disagree so it's ridiculous. Guess we'll see, won't we? The times a'comin'.

At this point, just pick the quarterback that will cost you the least amount of games. None of these guys are going to magically turn into pro bowlers who decide the fate of the season. It's not even mediocrity. It's arguably, the worst group of position players on the entire team. That's exactly how bad the Buffalo Bills QB situation is. At least the Jets had a #1 and #2. They may both suck, but they knew who was who in their minds. How many starting QB battles are unfolding in the NFL right now? How many times in the history of the league has the head football coach not declared a starter until the last possible minute before week 1 of the REGULAR SEASON??? And he talks about it like it's an advantage haha. Believe me, no opposing defense is wasting their time over-preparing for any of the Bills quarterbacks. That would be foolish of them considering all the talent elsewhere on the field. Concerning ourselves with this mess of a situation is useless. The organization needs to make sure that the rest of the squad is prepared to compensate for what will be the least productive position on the roster.

Rex's input should be be describing to the offensive coaches what the opposing team's defenses will throw at each quarterback the Bills are considering keeping on the roster. Then let the offensive minds make the decision on QB roster order. That's it. If Rex has more of a say so, he'd better be right this time. If he's wrong, again, adios Coach Ryan and Mrs. Coach Ryan. "Cannot play with them [him], cannot win with them [him], cannot coach with them [him]. Can't do it. I want winners."

Okay, Dan Patrick brought this topic up again today. I didn't watch any ESPN last night or hear the afternoon talk shows - Is this getting any news outside of the DP Show? I hear Rodney Harrison is very disappointed with Dungy's comments... Would it be that difficult for the NFL to ask Dungy to justify his comments...? He could just say, "NO!" But the NFL could also investigate further, and they'd have plenty of leads. To me, this is way way worse than the missing 1 pound of air pressure that could or couldn't've been caused by the most popular weather pattern in the New England area.

I'm thinking that too. Dungy just doesn't do this. He's alway on the high road. It seemed really wanted to make this point about the Patriots. If he's speaking up, it should become a big issue.

I'm listening to The Dan Patrick Show, and Tony Dungy says that ex-Patriot players told him to be careful what he says in the lockerroom at Gillette. I was blown away by this. DP followed up with a great question, asking Dungy if he treated the NE lockerroom different than any other NFL team. Dungy said yes! He watched what he said. What's the league rule on this sort of thing? I'm sure there's something... When the podcast is up for today's show, you can listen to it. It's in the second hour. http://www.danpatrick.com/dp-podcasts/

The Bills were far more emphasized more than the Colts. Kinda makes me wish there was more Buffalo represented in the crowd, like there is when the four greats and coach went in. Not that there were Colts cheered either....

1. Bills 2. Sabres 3. Celtics 4. Red Sox Living in southern California, it's just not worth it wearing these gears to local games when these teams play. In my experience, Sabres @ Ducks are softest. Usually just good fun ribbing. Red Sox @ Angels are the worst, worse than BOS @ LAD. I've had draft beer thrown at me in the parking lot of death from moving Orange County "Skin" tattooed monster trucks. Granted, some of these games were Red Sox sweeps of the Angels in the Wild Card round so the typical 20 something, tank top wearing, Monster drinking, flat-billed hatted, loud mouth, out of touch with self awareness, wannabe jock Angels superfan gets pretty pissed that self entitlement failed him once again. Bills @ SD is usually cool. There's a good size Bills following, and the Charger fans know it. Football stadiums are so big, you can steer clear of trouble for the most part if you keep your eyes peeled. Celtics @ Lakers is fine. Anything in downtown LA is a joke anyways. Lakers fan love their team, and they should. It's a perpetual dynasty, and they should have the self confidence to be gracious to opposing teams' fans.

My top Bills. I find it absolutely impossible to consider players that I didn't watch play. 1. Jim Kelly - QB 2. Thurman Thomas - As underrated as a hall of famer can get considering his position, stats, and team success. Super Bowl 2, as I call it, really hurt him. 3. Bruce Smith - What can you say?... He was dominant and played at a high level for an extremely long career. 4. Andre Reed - Such a pro. Very dependable, and just super anywhere on the field after 5 yards. He was very physcially gifted as well, and bruised DBs. 5. Cornelius Bennett - The fastest linebacker in the game in his prime. The dude would chase down wrs on the opposite sideline who got 20 yd headstarts. 6. Kent Hull - The success of the offensive was indicative of him setting the o-line straight. I think you wouldn't take too many centers ahead of him during his era. 7. Eric Moulds - Talent wasted, sadly. PERIOD. 8. Darryl Talley - Intense, team oriented, and wanted it bad. He controlled the middle of the field. He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. 9. Steve Tasker - He was an absolute playmaker. He wasn't an every down guy, but he simply changed games. 10. Steve Christie - The SOB would have made that kick.

That sucks for JPP and the Giants. It's time to do away with the silly hand bombs. What are we talking about here.....

Very well. Well...Corners turn into safeties, and Jim Kelly, of course, turned into a QB. There's always time for a change. I guess I'm saying, if things aren't panning out for Harvin as we'd all like, use one of his other weapons to get something on from him. I hear you. But I like when a team gives a guy the chance to put his money where his mouth is. He wants the rock, and now he has it. It's up to him to get it done. The Bills can't be blamed for this one. He's supremely talented, and the trade was for all intents and purposes a one-sided joke. The Bills done good here. Shady...it's your turn!
