Are you feeling okay?

I must admit I had little confidence that our offense would score the winning TD. It was for several reasons. The O line was getting beat badly, the fins had all the momentum, our offense was out of sync, and Taylor isn't an elite passer.

I don't like what you wrote. Sadly, it's hard to dispute what you said. I don't see an elite team not even during our winning streak. What is the game plan to beat the Pats.

I am very disappointed in todays loss. I figured it would be a tough game and I am not surprised we lost. Miami looked great last week and we are banged up...Just really hurt to watch that second half. Miami was like a train that couldn't be stopped. I couldn't help but have flashbacks of previous Bills teams. Did anyone feel the same way? I know its only one game but this one kind of took the wind out of my optimism. A win against the Pats will change everything. How in the world can we stop Brady and company when we couldn't stop hapless Trannyhill and Jay A?

I feel like the defensive game plans have been vastly improved. Last year I felt like Rex was inflexible, lacked creativeness, and under utilized/misplaced our players talents. Now, I feel like our game plans are cohesive and our players strengths are being utilized more effectively. It is only a small sample but It sure looks encouraging to me.

I am so happy about this win. Honestly, I didn't think we would win the game. I really don't think we can compete with the upper echelon teams such as the Pats with healthy Gronk and Brady, Pitt Steelers, or Broncos. Hope I am wrong. Nevertheless, this is becoming an exciting season for me. I am so stoked at how this team fights and seems to gut out a win. Past team would have grumbled. Not a big fan of Rex but our players so do play hard for him. Now, lets stay focused and beat the 49ers.

I do have to agree with this.

Well, I just can't believe what I saw today. Not a Ryan fan but he sure has produced the last two games. The players have been more disciplined and the game plans sure seem better. I can't wait for the next game.

Some really good posts here. Both sides have valid points. No doubt Bills fans are knowledgeable. Pointing the finger at Whaley is understandable. However, I prefer to look at the Bills organization in a macro viewpoint instead of micro. I clearly think the whole organization is not on the same page. The owners, GM, coaches, and players are not working cohesively. I doubt believe they share the same plan on how to build a team or just don't know how. The problem is larger than Whaley. It's easy to point the fingers at Whaley and to some point it is justified. As a fan, I am just so tired of losing. I live outside of the Buffalo area and I can tell you without question our team gets little to no respect. IMHO, our organization has been dysfunctional for years...

Well said. If Rex was the Pats coach tonight his game plan would have been to air it to make himself look like a genius.

I just don't see much of a reason for all the optimism. Why wasn't Roman fired at the end of last season? Just shows the incompetence of the whole organization. I find it difficult that this unknown inexperienced Lynn will get this offense to produce. I hope Raplh isn't watching. This season is a train wreck...

I can say with a reasonable degree of certainty that our defense would be very good if Jim S was here. I don't pretend to know everything about other teams but it seems like Schwartz is doing without any bonifide stars.

EJ has litle to no value to any NFL team. He is a medicore backup at best. A big swing and miss be Whaley.

I couldn't agree more watching Wentz. That was really impressive. He was in total command and remained very poised in the pocket. Hitting his receivers with pressure in his face. His ability to scramble and run. He seemed to have it. Only a two game sample but the Eagles have to be so excited. Ram fans have to be feeling sck to their stomach. I can't say I ever felt that way about EJ. I think TT has some great qualities but my unprofessional eye says he's not a franchise QB...

I don't think being in the same division would stop him from coming here. The Buffalo issue is an obstacle. Lots of variables in place. How bad does he want to be a head coach again? what is his price? Do other teams have interest? Etc... I am not sure if he's the right fit considering his failure in Denver. I think its worth exploring . I am not so sure we couldn't lure him here.

Macbobby, I appreciate your post. You obviously put a lot of time into it. Where and what makes you think we got rid of Roman to keep and or resign Taylor/Watkins? That premise just doesn't really make sense to me. Maybe, I am missing something.

What makes you think he wouldn't consider Buffalo?

Yes Seattle is not playing well. However, I can't help but think by seasons end they will be in the playoffs and competing for the NFC championship. Why? They have a solid coach (pains me to say that cheat Carrol) and I think the organization is pretty solid. They will make adjustments via scheme and or personnel. Unlike the Bills.

I concur about not being able to adjust. The Jets game is all you have to see to validate this conclusion. Ryan is a sub par coach at best. Love his bravado but even that has wandered. He knows his days in Buffalo are numbered.

Do you trust Rex Ryan and his staff to have a solid game plan to beat Arizona? If you do I sure would like to hear it.

Very good response. I would say it starts from the top with ownership and trickles down. I think it is vital that all the components of a football organization are in sync and share the same vision. Look at the 90's with a active owner, great GM, great innovation offensive coordinator, a motivating coach, and of course great players. They were in sync and made the excellent choices . Remember, Jimbo was in Houston and I believe reluctant to play for the Bills. Fast forward to the last 15 years and who can agree with the all the moving parts working together. Heck, we just fired our OC after two games. Top organizations just don't that. It is embarrassing. Soon, we will have another head coach with more turnover, more changes, and new promises. When will the merry go round end because my head is spinning and I'm about to vomit. God is it tough to be a Bills fan...GO BILLS

I wish I could agree with your optimism. My eyes and brain just keep telling otherwise. With that being said... GO BILLS
