What do you expect him to say? Cut his QB off at the knees in the middle of the season? How does that help? I doubt any of us has any idea what he really thinks. He is playing with cards he is dealt. Fitz is the best and only option on the roster for now.

Very good point.

I think it is highly unlikley that either Nix or Gailey are fired. Wilson seems very near the end. I think it is unlikley he wants to or is even capable of going through the coaching/GM circus carousel again. This team does have talent. It needs a long term upgrade at QB. It needs to address a couple of weak spots on defense. While it may also need a change at Head Coach, and I am really starting to lose faith in Gailey, I just do not see them taking that track this year, with so much of the team's future up in the air. Just the way it is I am afraid. I would not be surpised to see Nix step down for Whaley after the draft, nor would I be surprised if Nix tried to force some change in approach of the Coaching staff, but wholesale change is not coming no matter how loud the fans scream. Once the future of the team is more clear, whether in Buffalo or not, they will be open for business. Status quo until then.

Great post. Unfortunately, those who want to limit their analysis to "the Bills suck" will miss the point.

McKelvin is a free agent, as are Byrd and Levitre. I seriously doubt that Mckelvin is a high prioity for the Bills. He is only on the field at DB because of injuries. I doubt he will stay for what will likely be a fairly low offer, suitable to a return specialist and backup cornerback. He has had 5 years to prove himself at DB and has not. Williams is young, under contract, and has more potential.

And why exactly does anyone think SF would trade him? After the game, Harbaugh indicated he may start ahead of Smith next week. SF has no big committment to Smith and drafted Kaepernick 36th overall. He is not going anywhere. Also, while people are understandably down on Williams as he has had a tough second year, he looked great last year and everyone was saying what a steal he was. Way to early to give up on Williams, and yes, the Bills did need a CB. Guess what folks, they will again this year. McGee is done and McKelvin is likely gone.

Who is this Darius guy?

Urbik is on a one year tender, that doubly sucks then with Levitre possibly on the way out as well. Boy sure about Chad.

I think you reallyu mean Andy Levitre so I will assume that. I think the chances of resigning either of these players is going down exponentially week by week. This is less an issue of money available than the state of the team. Both of these players will be highly prized free agents, perhaps the best available at their positions. I just do not see them commmitting early to the Bills given the continued losing. Perhaps had the Bills done more to show significant turnaround and real competition witht the better teams in the league Nix could have made a case for both of them to stay. (still not too late for this but looking unlikley) As it is, these guys would be crazy not to shop around. They are both going to get big contracts.

The IR'd two players yesterday, a CB and a OL, and cut Potter. They only added Easley, so this fills out the 53. Not sure where you get this conclusion based on two injured palyers being sent to IR, and cutting an ineffective kick off specialist, but carry on.

Looks like McGhee is out. They would not have activated Brooks if he was not ready to play. Rhinehart is a big loss. The number 3 Guard is now Sam Young, with Urbik coming off injury. Big dropoff.

Yes, time to reflect and regenerate hope. With you there.

I hate the bye week also. Top two reasons: 1. I am not really interested other than the Bills 2. There is no actual Bills football related news so TSW is totally relegated to mindless speculation like "lets trade for Tim Tebow".

If Tebow is such a gret leader, why has one team dumped him and another thinking about it? It seems to me this is more a sign that he is a devisive influence rather than a leader.

Please, make it stop!

I have read a great many ignorant posts on this board but yours has got to be in the top ten of ignorant comments all time. Congrats!

Perhaps we can throw Fred into the Mario Williams for John Skelton trade suggested on his board last week. He should be worth something after recognition on this list!

This one had me scratching my head too. Those are decidedly not the Bills weaknesses.

Why does anyone think the new owner would want to retain him? Certainly cannot be his record since with the Browns. No thanks.

First, I did not give up my seats, which I had for 25 years, to prove a point. It was getting very difficult to get to any games given other committments in any case, and I would have ultimately done so anyway. However, in those 25 years and the 10 years of going to games prior, I had never witnessed the type of callousness and idocy I did that day. It was widespread and out of control. There were always fights in the stands and parking lots, and I did my share of drinking and being rowdy as well, but I was embarrassed to be a Bills fan that day. Thats the only point.

I was at this game. The behavior of the "fans" in the stadium was disgusting that day. There were loud cheers when Johnson was hurt - much more than a few. All day, there were fights in the stands between the Flutie and Johnson proponents. I had my 11 year old son with me at that game. It was embarrassing. To that point I had held on to my season tickets after 15 years living outside of The Buffalo area, but dropped them the next year and have not been back. Sadly, many posters on this board display the same sort of attitude.

Great idea. I hope they sign him.

At least the NFL offices can recognize an illegal hit. Too bad the officials on the field cannot.

I never expect anything more than the typical "woe is us" BS you express here after any loss, but one thing to keep in mind is that it is really boring. It would be nice to just once come to this site, whether win or loss, and be able to engage in a rational discussion but I no longer expect it. Instead it is constant whining, no analysis or discussion (with a very few notable exceptions - you know who you are), and people feeling sorry for themselves. Reasons not withstanding, this is really boring. If you are that miserable, take the OP's suggestion and go elsewhere, or have something meangful to say about the game or the team. Lest you think this is personal, just lumping you in with the rest.

I guess the NFL should cancel the last 3/4 of the schedule if the season is over. Two bad halfs of football do not constitute a season, no matter how bad they were.
