No, no, no, no. No. Way too many exceptions to this rule for any consideration to be given.

Sorry to hear about the double-whammy. But, one's artistic senses are elevated when times are the toughest. I think you illustrated that well! Nice essay...

Yup. Marv is an @ss because of what he believes. Gotcha, great point. Thanks!

Keep telling yourself that. And make sure you're wearing your tin foil hat nice and snug...the Greys can hear your thoughts.

Yeah, cos Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and Drew Brees were all "top 3" picks. As were Brian Orakpo, Michael Strahan and Jared Allen. The ONLY way to get those guys is to pick top-3, right? That is the total loser's mentality. [Caution: NBA example] Tank out every year worked GREAT for the Chicago Bulls in the post-Jordan era. How long did it take them to finally get it right? About, what, a decade? [bringing it back to the NFL] And the Cardinals and Bengals during the 90s, right? Sucking and picking in a lofty spot perenially really helped them, didn't it? Good scouting and (a lot of) luck (not Andrew necessarily) plus solid FA signing is the way to do it. Not bottoming out year after year.

So we only count wins against top-5 defenses as being legit now? Funny how we don't hear from you people when times are good...

I like how you state this so matter-of-factly. Let's hypothetically trade WR corps with the Packers. Are they even close? Are they? I'm sure Donald Jones and Ruvell Martin would be headed to the Pro Bowl if they had Rodgers throwing them passes, yes?

What a clown. I'm glad you're in Tom Brady's head like that.

Fixed! Btw, you might want to revisit your DVR for the Redskins/Bills game. Fitzpatrick was 21-for-27, 262 yards, 2 TDs, one pick and a QB rating of 116. But, I'll give you a mulligan: It was a 4pm start on the day before Halloween, so maybe you had one too many Keystones by that point and were seeing ghosts.

Yup, let's do that. The constant o-line shuffling, a recent plague of injuries, a lack of depth, our pourous defense, and uninspired coaching are all byprodcuts of Fitz's contract. Furthermore, none of those factors has in any way effected his level of play. Brilliant. You missed your calling, you should be a GM.

Last season, we were blown out by the Packers, Jets (twice), Vikings and Patriots (at home). This year we haven't just played good teams close, but we've actually beaten a few of them (unlike last year). Plus, we also played the Giants and Bengals tough. There's really no regression if you look at this season as a whole. People's memories of last year are a bit hazy in the face of this latest dilemma.

I would resign him, within reason. He's well-suited for Gailey's offense. He was playing his best football as a Bill last year before the injury vs. Chicago. And, I know the injury stuff is a huge part of his makeup, but if you eliminated a guy from your grocery list based on injury history/potential, you'd be looking at a very slim list of candidates.

Give us a healthy OL and a three WR set of Stevie, Nelson and Justin Blackmon (drafted out of OK St. -- I can dream, right?) and you'll stop your bitching and complaining about Fitz in a hurry. You guys act like Fitz is the only QB in the NFL who has accuracy issues on occasion. Start watching some other games from time to time instead of trolling on this board 24/7. Go back and watch tapes of Eli Manning's first five years and how many "oopsies" he threw...and how many were transformed into a big play by a quality, star-level WR (read: Burress, Plaxico). Or take a look at how many INTs that Drew Brees has tossed over the past three seasons. Or, how about the Chargers' franchise QB this year? Important: I'm not putting Fitz on par with any of the league's top QBs. But all of your Fitz bashers need to take a deep breath and examine the entire picture of what's gone on with this team over the past month. Fitzpatrick isn't out there performing in a vacuum. And stop acting like the contract is causing this, cos it's just crap reasoning that a 14-year-old would come up with.

Did you watch the second half? He played nearly flawless and made a number of perfect throws in not-so-perfect weather. You may continue crying in your nachos...

You were wearing your tin foil hat while writing this, weren't you?

What the hell are you talking about?? You're comparing Kurt Warner's Twitter comment to Favre's megalomaniac dig at Rodgers? Those two aren't just apples and oranges, they're apples and razor blades. Warner is a genuine guy and is being complimentary, thus the "so happy 4 him" comment. Favre, on the other hand, is a bitter turd. See the difference?

That's why it's so unbelievable and improbable. Duh! Plus, it's a guy who creates very strong opinions in either direction. You gotta admit last night was pretty amazing (as far as a regular season moment goes).

This is an excellent point; great observation. Even I, for once, didn't fall asleep on my couch in the late 2nd quarter of a primetime game. Tebow has that kind of pull!

Awesome read! Thanks for posting! Best Tweet: Hakim Warrick. He's 100% right. If the last three months of Tebow's life were a Disney movie, I'd be sticking my finger down my throat. It's good to see good, wholesome, cheesy stuff actually exists from time to time! Worst Tweet: Erin Andrews. Thanks for the entrhalling contribution, Erin. "Wow"

I know how you feel, little girl. That was essentially my reaction after each Bills Super Bowl loss -- and the playoff meltdown in Nashville in January '00.

Wow, good sleuthing! Last year, we basically wound up playing every team that qualified for the playoffs -- and both Super Bowl participants. But, the trend you have pointed out is pretty interesting. I'll put my chips down on the NY Giants. I think they represent the best-suited team to knock off the Dairy Empire...

Why so serious?

People, for the last time, Fitz signed the contract extension before the Washington game. Sick of seeing this fact fouled up in post after post.

LOL!!! Total cheese, but total greatness. How did a scene from Free Willy get into the closing montage??

I agree with the sentiment. Talley obviously loves this organization and wants to get into coaching, so to me it makes perfect sense to have him on the defensive staff in some way, shape or form. Thanks for posting the YouTube clip, as well. Darryl is a Buffalo Bill to the soul!
