Don't understand. Most Cowgirl fans I know would want Jerry to go.

It has been for several years in Buffalo. Where have you been?......................

Great to be a Bills fan in Dallas today.

I thought it interesting that he was on the field so much last Sunday (and Chandler was standing on the sidelines). I concluded Marrone was not pleased with Chandler for his drops in the KC game.

Doesn't Searcy backup the Strong Safety (A. Williams) with Leonard backing up the Free Safety (Byrd)?

With a 7' wing span....

I agree the QB situation demands the highest attention of the front office. But we currently don't have a punter either. Has anyone heard any info?

Fair enough. I made a funny. Better?

Glad to see they are doing their due diligence.

Sorry couldn't resist....... And yes it is a joke.

I have DirectTV for two reasons. 1) Sunday Ticket 2) Portable for my RV (cable or FIOS not so much). I have double play FIOS in my house now (phone/internet) and for about $30 a month I could add FIOS TV and replace DirectTV. But 1 and 2 above keep me with them. And their Customer Service is second to none.

But you have to have a QB behind center that can hit a 20+ yard pass more than 5% of the time. If you limit your offense to 10 yard passes or less you will go no where. Look at the past 3 years for proof. I agree that the running backs were not used enough, this is a no brainer. But no downfield game hurts the running game also. Please find a QB that can hit the 20-40 yard downfield pass consistently.............

"and finally, mercifully, it ended". Bwahaha.

And run, run, run some more. That WILL stop the agressive pass rush.

A team is built from the trenches out, period. Couple that with a great QB and you will be a contender year after year. Nix and Chan understand building the D and O lines. And for the most part have hit on all OL/DL decisions (draft choices, and FA adds and exits). Now they just need to find that great QB..............

How about a blitz on a rookie quarterback? Can you imagine the great defenses allowing Luck to stand back and throw the ball with a standard 4 man rush. Christ Wanny don't confuse the poor kid.

What have I missed? Lindell kicking off.

Even if Mankins goes, his sore/injured hip will give him fits trying to stop the rush of Darius and Williams

Agreed. Haven't they been successful running the ball against us for the past few games? I believe 200+ yards/game has been surrendered by the beleaguered bills front 7. I sure hope the paper view translates to the field.

Buffalo Cold Front

I posted this before. I had a chance to talk with Fitz's dad before the Cowboys game. He said after the Fletcher hit Fitz was real hurting. He was amazed he was able to play the way he was walking around the house the next week. He was trying to convince him to wear a flack jacket. But to no avail. So I know he was hurt and I can't imagine playing with that injury let alone trying to throw the ball. The downturn was in part the rib injury and the Freddy injury. No coincidence.

one word - Maybin

The games always have and always will be won in the trenches - both sides of the ball. This would include a high quality TE and great LB's to go along with great line play. This is where the focus needs to be. The really good teams understand this. The Bills continually miss this........ Getting better with Wood, Levitre, and Darius in the past few drafts. Focus here Mr. Nix, PLEASE!

Fitz was hurt bad in the Washington game. I went to the Cowboys game and had an opportunity to chat wuth Fitz's dad before the game. He told me Ryan could barely walk around the following week. He could not believe he played the next week. He had told Ryan to wear a flack jacket but he refused. You could tell the general fatherly concern. I was a bit surprised he divulged this to me in fear of it getting out to the opposing teams. I kept it under wrap until now. Some other things I learned: Ryan wears his ring during the game because he fears if he takes it off he wil loose it. Ryan scored 1580 out of 1600 on his SAT without really studying for it. His wife is the smarter one in the house. He got his intelligence from his mom. It was a nice chat with a really nice regular type guy. His dad also missed the awesome tailgating that happens at the Ralph but certainly not in Jerry's Parking lots..... He loves and admires the spirit and dedication of Bills Nation. Broken ribs can be really painful and he is likely still playing through this pain. He also watches Thigpen in practice and probably realizes the Bills will never win with him.
