Many of us, myself included, have been upset with the lack of blitzing done by Wanny. The other day I was watching NFL network and they were talking about the Texans defense, who is known for their blitzing. When sending 5 or more guys, the Texans give up a league leading 30% 20+ yard passing plays due to weaker coverage in the secondary. I'm not saying we don't need to blitz more. I think the Texans are one extreme and we are the other and we need to find an inbetween somewhere. Again, just found that interesting

I have to disagree on the arm part, but I admit to only watching the GB/NE game. In that one, his arm looked great and he made every throw look easy. If that game was him playing out of his mind, then so be it. But he looked perfectly fine to me

What happened to this guy? He had three teams vying for his services in the offseason. Came in and killed it for Aaron Rodgers in the few games he played for him against good teams. I know that the Seahawks went with Wilson out of training camp, so maybe it's that he got beat out by a rookie... But how has this guy disappeared in a league where many teams need starting QB's. I can't imagine the Seahawks want to pay this guy to ride the pine. I mean, I haven't heard a single trade rumor from anywhere. I'm not saying I want him here, but I also don't know enough about him. From the little I know, I would at least see what the Seahawks asking price would be

Just read a report by McShay saying that he hears from NFL scouts that Barkley is going to fall to the second round and Klein might be a late first round pick. I'm sorry, but I think he is smoking crack. I'm not looking for either of these guys in a Bills uniform next year, but Barkley will go and go early. This is too much of a QB lead. Again, I could see as many as 5 first round QB's taken this year, but my money is on 4.

If winning out gives a shot at the playoffs, then that obviously. If not...TANK IT!!!

I'm sorry, but I just don't see it. His throws don't have a lot of zip on them. In fact, they have that Trent Edwards velocity. Yes, he does make a deep throw, but it looks pushed not thrown. I feel like NFL DB's will be able to make jumps on his throws. And if he hasn't established himself as THE guy yet, then I also believe he has peaked. Look at how bad Geno and Matt have played recently and you still don't hear people talking about Landry overtaking them. Again, just my opinion

Added

I'll add him. Thanks for the heads up. Again, I don't claim to know a ton about these guys and would love to do my homework and learn from people here.

I think a lot of people share your opinion...right now. But QB hype going into drafts is always something that amazes me. That, and how well GM's can keep quiet lately. Two years ago, QB's went in the early first round that people didn't expect to go until rounds 2 and 3. And the year before that, how far did Claussen fall? This year could go both ways. Personally, I expect to see 5 go in the first round, and 2 more in round 2. Just call it a hunch, whether it's merited or not

Wow, dont know how i forgot him. Will add him. Thanks

yeah, but even still I don't hear much about him being capable of stepping in the team doing well. Also, wasn't Hoyer cut for some other reason?

Like many of you, I hope and expect the Bills to draft a QB next year who can potentially start out the gate. Everyone has an opinion on if this class is any good or not and who will go where. For me, I would love to say that I know a ton about any of these guys and I see sites that have different QB's going all over the place. If you look for 2013 mock drafts you will find people that have QB's going 1-2 and you'll see others that don't have QB's going until 10 and 20. I believe that this year will be like all of the previous ones where QB's are rated as decent 1st or 2nd round picks, but the combine and media hype get them drafted top 15. Last year was a perfect example of that. With that being said, below you will find a list of QB's that are top 3 round candidates and what I've found about them. This is all speculation and opinion. I know literally nothing about these guys, but would love to read other people's opinions about them. When watching the clips, it's funny to me how many offenses are run like the Bills. 1 - Matt Barkley QB USC (Projected in Round 1) Barkley is a guy who was the lock to go 1st overall until he actually started playing ball. I've seen him projected to go anywhere from 1st to 15th overall. Sanchez and Leinhart seem to have put a curse on these guys as players who peak in college. From the footage I've seen, I don't think I'd want him on the team period. His arm doesn't impress me and he seems like a system guy. He has more talent around him than most and underperforms. www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=hYjRSIWA5-U 2 - Geno Smith QB WV (Projected in Round 1) Smith is a guy I never heard of until this year. Up until his first loss, the guy looked unstoppable. Then, a few games in a row, the opposing teams figured out his offense and did exactly that. While his team took a beating, his number stayed good. The guy has all of the tools. When watching his highlights, watch the zip he puts on the ball on out routes. He would be my favorite overall person, but if college defenses can completely shut him down, I'm scared to think what and NFL defense might do to him. The best thing about him to me is that he has improved every single year and may still have room to grow. www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=bZo__7PRl8A 3 - Tyler Wilson QB Arkansas (Projected Round 1-3) Wilson is a guy who scares me. He's the guy said to have all the tools, but can't show it because he has a terrible offensive line and lost his top 3 receivers. I also think about how great Mallet looked in that offense and still hasn't shown enough to really be the backup in New England. He's also an SEC guy, which is Chan is still here, makes me wonder. His highlights haven't really impressed me, but I feel like I know the least about him. I'm afraid this guy is going to be all practice, but get crushed in the NFL by defenses. www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=918Kg5KYW3w 4 - Aaron Murray QB Georgia (Projected Round 1-5) Murray is a guy who has been all over the place in mocks. I've seen him go in the first and as high as 7 or in the 5th. First of all, he needs to declare I believe. After that, I feel like he has been extremely under the radar. From what I've seen, he has the arm and size. My concern is the accuracy. He hits his guys, but in the way that I feel like college QB's do in a spread formation offense. He has time and a 5 yard cushion for most of his throws. I don't know much on him and the program in Georgia doesn't scream QB to me. This is another guy that I would absolutely expect to see Chan go for if he is still our coach. www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=wI1eALvjtu4 5. Landry Jones QB Oklahoma (Projected Round 1-4) Landry reminds me of Fitz more than any other QB in this draft. This is a guy that, for two years, had the opportunity to grab the college football world and the Draft by the horns and run with it, but just never got it done. He also runs an offense similar to the Bills but I just don't see the arm or deep throw accuracy from him. I feel like this is a kid that will give you up and down games and overall may have already peaked like Barkley. This is a guy that I really hope we don't get, as I just don't see the upside www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQ-Y0GD87mA 6 - Ryan Nassib QB Syracuse (Projected Round 2-5) Nassib is a personal favorite of mine. He's a guy who has only gotten better. I think of the team he came in to and how is going to leave it and love the strides. He has a great arm and I feel that if he were on a better defensive team, could be a first round guy. For me, even if we go QB in round 1, I'd absolutely take him in round 3 if he's there. My prediction for him is a great offseason and combine where he shoots himself to the early 2nd round, maybe even the top of the 1st. Calling it now!!! www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=JKJiruGcgFw 7 - EJ Manual QB Florida State (Projected Round 2-5) This is a guy that I keep hearing the Bills scouting all year. I literally know nothing about him. His throws look good, but not a tight spiral and a lot of setup passes. Tough to tell with this guy. www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=2v8OOY7AHRE 8. Zac Dysert QB Miami University (Projected Round 2-5) Never heard of the kid until I made this thread. Watched a few highlight reels and, if you gave this kid some guys who could catch...Wow. I'm actually impressed with his arm strength, pocket presence, and precision. Seriously, it's only a highlight reel, but this kid looks legit. It's always tough though to look at guys playing with such a lack of support because you don't know what's on them and what's the team and coaching. www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=RmMa5Nv2zoI 9. Mike Glennon QB NCST (Projected Round 4-7) Added him via mention of someone on here. Watched a few highlights, don't really see much but again, what do I know www.youtube.com/watch?v=URoXVwlayj8 Again, the comments are merely my uninformed opinion. I've watched some WVU and 'Cuse games this year. I absolutely going to watch the SEC title game. Maybe Murray becomes my guy after that. Would love to hear what some of you think.

This is not going to happen or shouldn't happen on three points: 1 - We are not going to pick that low. We are picking top 1 2 - No way we get Te'o that late in the first round. He will be a top 5 pick. Unless we pick 3 or 4, it's not happening 3 - Landry Jones, no thank you. Guy is Fitz 1.1

I forgot that the Bills D only had one series on the field. I guess there is no way I would be referring to the numerous times the Bills went 3 and out. And your contributions are baffling with your support of Fitz.

Who is talking about the regular season here? This thread is about this game. So yeah, in this game, the D was fine. But nice contribution

For the first time in a long time, it seems like the majority of people are on the same page. Except for those who feel like the defense needed to give up less than 13 points. For you people, I got nothin...

That definitely would have been quicker to type

I guess you aren't watching next week then

This is a moot point. This will never happen in the NFL. But, for the sake of argument.... Even if we lose out, we still won't be bad enough to get a top 2 pick, which is where I see the game changes being. With that, just play it out, scout your players, and trade up if you need to

Not the Defense. I'll just start there. I could care less that they didn't get a stop at the end. The D gave up 13 points. Any team would take that kind of performance. They weren't perfect by any means, but they did more than enough for any team thinking about the possibility of the playoffs would take. If anything, I give our Defense HUGE PROPS. These guys are human beings. And while I get they are paid to play, I'm impressed that they don't give up more often. If I knew the lack of support I was going to get on offense, I would just give up. They are better than me. Now, for the real reason we lost. You guessed it.....Chan, Fitz, and Special Teams Fitz finally made a deep throw. Finally. I won't even harp on the fact that Stevie had to be wide open and slow down and face the ball to catch it. He made it, so win there. Other than that, Fitz was just plain terrible. Skipping passes. Threw a mind blowing INT. Making throws into pre-snap reads to guys that were outright covered. Chan's abandoning of the run and playcalling overall was terrible. I get that we can't just line it up and power it in, but we had a series of draws and counters that worked quite well. Spiller broke 100 and we still didn't use him right. We punted from the 31....'Nuff Said. Finally, some realities: ~ We only scored 13 points on a defense that was 20th ranked coming into the game ~ Mario Williams got 3 sacks ~Our Defense only gave up 13 points ~A team with only 2 wins last year, a interm head coach just beat us. Yes, a QB makes that much of a difference

Where is the review?

We deserve this

This offense is absolutely pathetic right now. If I was on D, I'd stage a walk out

Line Chandler up out there and at least chip block him. C'mon Chan. How do you not see this?

Typical Bills....quick highs, painful slow lows
