Ga boy

It may be time to go for broke with a game plan. If not this week, then certainly against the Pats. If Shady can't go, then we should go for broke against Jags. Show'em something they haven't seen on film. Be creative and describe some innovative, winning plays. My initial contribution is to put Kyle and Milano in to be blocking fullbacks to protect TT so that he can roll out and hit swing passes to slanting wide receivers or keep it and run to the edges. Ditch the pocket passer experiment, and let Tyrod be Tyrod. Share your creative plays.

He's not afraid pull to the trigger. He can throw guys open. He can read defenses. He looks pretty accurate when he's won against the Bills the last two times. He would be a 3 step upgrade, and insure that we don't take a step back. Get him, and use the draft to address other needs. There's a 90% chance that he would be a better option than a drafted rookie, or any other currently available vet. I don't see Cincy letting him go though. Go Bills!!!

Nice to hear your story. Once a Bills fan, always one. I think most of us doubt they they can make it to Minnesota, but I was a doubter about ending the drought this year, and I know that I have plenty of company. Let's Billieve and enjoy having a stake in the second season. Go Bills!!!

We all know that TT does not have NFL-level throwing skills (eg - slow to read coverages, can't throw guys open, holds the ball, and his accuracy is sporadic). Jags have the line to take away the run, and TT will have to throw. Yikes! IF Shady's out, why not put NT in as QB and put TT in Shady's place. Let's really confuse them. Go Bills!!!

I would like him as an option to keep moving the process forward. I'd prefer him over a rookie, and I don't see that we should use our drafts picks on an unproven rookie. For 3 years, he would be cheaper than Cousins, and better than other vet options. He reminds me of Bledsoe. He would look great in a Bills uni. Go Bills!!!

Great stuff. Loved that coach bowed for a prayer of thanksgiving. Part of the process is faithfulness. Go Bills!!!

Coming out of shock today. Wow, it really happened. My 2 sons were in high school for the last playoff game. They were in grade school during the SB years. We saw Deion run down Beebe at a reg season game in ATL in the original Atlanta Stadium (which is now a parking lot). Attended the Steeler game when they stole our best playoff chances in 04 with Willie Parker's breakout game. Last night, we brought in the New Year shouting for our Bills!!!! Awesome!!! Go Bills!!!

My oh my!!! The Buffalo Bills are going to the dance!!!

No sense in starting NP at this point. Should have happened after Cincy or Jets game. Had we done so, we could've made the playoffs ... Since the Jets game, we are 3-4. NP maybe could've matched that with wins over Chiefs, Dolts, and Fins. So if we miss the playoffs, we also missed the chance to see if NP is the answer.

I agree with your points about Sammy and MD being the difference makers with making the playoffs. With them, we would be in. I don't think coach had the goal of making the playoffs this year, despite giving lip service to it to the vets. I believe he believed that we would take 1 step back this year to get 2 steps next year. Now, this is very questionable. He should've manned up and stayed with NP to see if he could be the answer. Now, we still don't know, we may miss playoffs, and may miss getting a franchise QB in draft. Go Bills!!!

Any of those those guys would be fine with me, Hokie. I still say we use our firsts for MLB and DE. Maybe a QB in second.

Yea, you're probably right. I just remember that Bridgewater could throw and would throw. Cousins will get $100 million contract. For that kind of bucks, we would expect a SB in 3 years. I would prefer him over any drafted QB. Use those firsts for other needs. Some would say that $100 million would limit us with other signings, but we just eliminated a $100 million contract. I don't think we will get Cousins. Bridgewater would fit our offense better than TT.

What are the chances of getting Bridgewater? He would be cheaper than Cousins and better, if he is the same guy. Also, TT will be a backup somewhere else next year. The benching against LAC was the writing on the wall. Also, remember Sammy asking for the ball. We thought he was not a team guy, but he was actually telling us then that TT was not a QB.

I say we beat Miami and then one and done with TT. Then no more boring, frustrating games with TT at QB. 4 weeks ago I argued for giving the ball to NP the last 4 games to see if he is the answer, even if it meant forfeiting the playoffs. But now I'm all in for a playoff game. Go Bills!!!

Sounds like my kind of BSer. Anyone in Dunkirk know where I can find this guy?? I'd like to buy him a cup of coffee. Sounds like he has some ideas for what I can do with a couple of million.

First time I've opened this posting. Don't feel like reading 138 pages to get up to speed. Can someone give me 2 or 3 bullets of summary. Is DD worth my time? If he has good inside intel, I got a couple of million that I need to do something with.

WWJD??

RushX, please apply at OBD. Please apply at OBD. We need a VP or GM that can over rule the hands-clapping coach.

I want me some Bridgewater or Kelly. Our QB position is wide open. Prefer not to spend our firsts on QB. Period.

I think it's obvious that the Pats are a better team with a better QB. Expecting to beat them with our QB is similar to believing that Santa is real. If we have a competent QB next year, we could be real Bills, not counterfeit Bills. A competent QB will take advantage of Clay and Benjamin. He would make everyone better. I wished we would have stayed with NT 4 weeks ago to see what he could do, but we stayed with TT and we'll miss the playoffs and our draft position will prevent us from getting an NFL ready QB. Our structure has the potential to keep us in a rut. The coach makes decisions to appease the locker room, when management should have told him to go with the guy who can throw receivers open, not the guy who takes sacks and bounces balls to receivers. While many thought that the previous regime was dysfunctional, giving all the authority to this coach could result in a process that keeps us at 9 and 7 and worst. We need some checks and balances. Giving this coach last and final say will be an equation for failure. Go Bills!!!

I'm praying for St Dougie's and Big Boy's team to win out. Go Bills!!!

But what if TT gets us a win in NE?? BTW, I don't think your post puts an end to the discussion ad nauseum. The dead horse will continue to get beat up.

Hey 81 Bro: TT's inaccurate throws have to account for 1-2 wins and getting into the playoffs easily. He can only take credit for a couple of wins this season. I think that NP would give us a better chance against the Pats. My list of QBs who I'd rather have include: Rivers, Carr, Goss, Wentz, Newton, Ryan, Smith, Manning, Rodgers, Cousins, Luck, Stafford, Goff, Ben, Mariota, Winston, and Wilson. There are at least 19 who would've gotten us to playoffs. I will become a TT billiever if he gets us a win against Pats, but we know that's not happening unless there's a ton of snow and ice. Go Bills!!

I'm a Ga boy who married a Bflo girl and we lived there while I went to UB. Our 2 sons who are now in their 30s went to their first game then at Rich. We've been hooked on the Bills since. We now laugh about thinking that JP was the answer. Now live in Northern Va and see Bills flags and car logos often, but a lot more Steelers, Boys and Skins. Really, unlike Bflo, all the teams are represented here. I think the DC area pulls from everywhere. As a Bills fan, I fit in more here than in Ga. Go Bills!!!

I'm not a TT fan, but I'm glad he played better today. He's just not the guy, but if he can put together 2 halves like the first today, we have a chance against Brady. I don't think he can do it. Looking at all the tiebreakers, our best chance is to win out, and NP might give us the best chance in shoot out with Brady. I'm sure TT supporters would say that's not true, and I doubt coach starts NP based on TT's performance today. We'll need a QB who can pass for 250+. Pats will shut down Shady, and make TT throw. I hope TT goes lights out in Foxboro. Go Bills!!!
