What Jones did in OT on that last drive to win the game against Cleveland was impressive! But you also need to take into consideration that the Steelers have a much more talented surrounding cast, coaches, players, scheme. 24 of 37 for 277, 3 TD's, 1 INT. when the Steelers starting RB was only averaging 2.8 YPC against that Cleveland defense that really wanted to win. Another note is that Pittsburgh was playing their backup players. If Buffalo were to go to a mostly passing schemed offense and wanted a solid young pocket passer I'd give Jones a long look over Glennon. Of course, If I had a full choice it would be Kirk Cousins hands down.

About time!

Holy cow, deer in headlights Cardale Jones time!

If he continues to play like he has so far he will be gone next year...perhaps from the NFL.

Yep, La Conjecture has stated the Buffalo HCing job will be his unless he gets a better offer...and he will get other interviews. Most other NFL teams will want to have a decent passing offense, though.

Lord EJ sucks.

what freaking play call was that?

I agree as this game means nothing. It sucks that McCoy was taken off in a cart, though.

After what happened with Rex Ryan he would be a fool to listen to Russ has to say on football matters. He should consider himself very lucky he kept his job.

Should have fired Dennis Thurman too.

Sounds better! Hope they approve a 3-year deal with no walk away clause.

This isn't progress!! Why? Exactly how much experience do the Pegula's have in hiring NFL head coaches? DYSS!

Thanks bob, spit my beer all over my keyboard, monitor!

Adam SchefterVerified account ‏@AdamSchefter 7h7 hours ago Former Jaguars HC Gus Bradley is planning to follow Anthony Lynn to any HC job he lands, per sources, creating a Lynn-Bradley ticket. This would be a great first hire for sure. I don't get the change needed in the defensive back seven with Bradley? I wonder who he would hire as OC?

They hired a 4-12 Rex Ryan, didn't they? Sorry about that, mods please merge.

I watched Brees a lot in his first two seasons and he stunk big time!!! Why does anyone on earth think the team would have used the first overall pick on QB Eli Manning and then traded him to NY when he said he wouldn't play for the Chargers if they knew Brees would be as good as he has developed into? The Giants then picked Phillip Rivers in the draft with the 4th pick to trade for Eli. Thus my entire point! http://www.bigblueview.com/2013/12/4/5168342/eli-manning-philip-rivers-2004-trade-new-york-giants-san-diego-chargers Thank you for that second paragraph, though.

Anthony Lynn will be the Buffalo Bills head coach in 2017. Start complaining asap...

If the Broncos interview Lynn it will be for a specific reason (Rooney rule) before they eventually hire Kyle Shanahan. No way that Elway hires anyone other than Kyle. JMO Looking at the differences in developing a young QB and the passing stats between the Falcons and Bills...

and it was very close at the end! To be blown out and not score... I almost feel bad for those OSU fans 31-0 loss...almost

I'll agree. Elway will hire Kyle in a heartbeat after Kubiak retires.

What you need to realize is that his accuracy and his pocket awareness stunk in 2003 hence the 11 TDs to 15 INTs and a completion percentage of 57.6. Brees made a huge turnaround in his third year of PLAYING! Some Bills fans (not you John) seem to think that simply being on the team and holding a clipboard is equivalent to being on the field and actually playing. The year I was talking about happened in 2003 and in 2004 went 11-4. Brees didn't separate his shoulder until the 2005 season and had surgery that offseason. Miami had a strong interest in Brees but their doctors wouldn't pass him so NO signed him. Thank the good lord! The comparison I'm making is very accurate and very relevant! Brees himself credits that benching by Marty S for allowing him to rethink his patience in the pocket. The entire point is that it took two full seasons of playing before Brees finally came into his own and the difference between 2003 and 2004 is like night and day.

This was obvious after 2015 when the team was #2 in the league in penalties. In that NY Giants game, the Bills had 17 penalties for 135 yards and the Bills defense gave the Giants 7 first downs by penalty! Inexcusable! http://www.espn.com/nfl/matchup?gameId=400791678

Good lord this is crazy talk! Prescott is a one in a thousand QB's to come in as a rookie and do what he has done. So many college QB's look brilliant in school only to fall on their faces in the NFL!

Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports the Bills made the decision to move on from Tyrod Taylor (groin) "weeks ago." Taylor has been benched for Week 17 and might need groin surgery despite being left off the final injury report. That surgery could complicate the Bills' plan to move on as Taylor's contract calls for a guaranteed $30.75 million if he cannot pass a physical by the start of the new league year. This saga should dominate the Rotoworld headlines in the early part of 2017. http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/352438/bills-decided-on-tyrods-future-weeks-ago?ls=roto:buf:topheadlines&rw=1 From twitter, Bills were aware of Tyrod's groin situation for a few weeks. There's strong sense he will need surgery. Decision to move on made weeks ago https://twitter.com/JasonLaCanfora/status/814890263801987072?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw The guy was right that the Bills (Doug Whaley) wanted to replace Tyrod Taylor with Cardale Jones and fire Rex Ryan after the Steelers game. According to NFL sources, coach Rex Ryan and General Manager Doug Whaley are at odds over the future of quarterback Tyrod Taylor. Ryan wants Taylor to remain the Bills' starter for the balance of this season and beyond, the sources said, while Whaley would like to see rookie Cardale Jones start the final three games after Sunday's clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers. "CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reported Sunday that the Bills could fire Ryan as early as Monday, depending on the outcome of the Pittsburgh game." http://buffalonews.com/2016/12/11/power-struggle-behind-bills-potential-coaching-change/ Now cooler heads prevailed to see if the Bills would actually make the playoffs this season and when they didn't beat Miami they fired Bills HC Rex Ryan. Now we learn that Tyrod practiced this week but EJ will get the start against the Jets. Does this mean the team is moving on from Tyrod Taylor? About the most exciting QB the Bills have had since Doug Flutie! You don't get rid of a playmaker like Tayor, you build around him! Where is Leroi on all this? On another note. So, Doug Whaley is leading the "coaching search" for the next Buffalo Bills HC. Is this anything like Russ Brandon leading the past coaching searches and then have a consensus on who they all like? Because the last time this group of people decided on a head coach they 100% didn't do their proper homework on the guy and hired a 4-12 silver-tongued bum. They all bought into his sob story of how the Jets GM tried to get him fired by not giving him the players needed. (He was probably doing the very same thing again to the owners this year) Clearly, nobody in the Bills FO watched Rex Ryan's 2014 NY Jets 4-12 team and how he looked so lost on the sidelines and lost the players on that team! So, one can only think that the same people will make the same mistakes with this next head coaching hire.

Is Drew Brees currently an elite top 5 NFL QB? Would you believe that Brees was benched in his second season of starting as he went 2-9 that year in 2003 for San Diego! He threw 11 TD's, 15 INT's went 205 for 356 for 2108 yards. 67.5 rate, sacked 21 times. The very next season SD goes 12-4, Brees goes 11-4 and went 262 of 400 for 3159 yards, 27 TD's, 7 INT's, 104.8 rate! The point here is that Brees got better after two seasons of playing experience and hasn't looked back since. Now granted it all came together for Brees and in some cases, it takes longer for NFL QB's to fully develop. The late great Bills Walsh stated it generally takes four years of playing experience for a QB to fully develop! We fans have seen it take sometimes more time and sometimes less time. This year Tyrod went 7-8, threw 269 of 436 for 3023 yards, 17 TD's, 6 INT's. rate 89.7. Taylor hasn't developed enough to carry the offense on his shoulders just yet. However, who is to say that he won't develop into that player next year or the year after? The QB isn't the biggest reason this team lost games the last two years and has been a playmaker at QB the Bills haven't seen since Doug Flutie!
