Cotton Fitzsimmons

To those who remember that hip little number by Vertical Horizon: Somewhere there's speaking It's already coming in Andrew Luck is rising on Kiper's board Trent never could get it When he was fed it Now Fitz is here and we don't know why But under skinned knees and the skid marks Past the places where Fitz laid that wood You howl and listen Listen and wait for Echoes of legends who won't return Fitz is everything we want Fitz is everything we need Fitz has everything inside of him That Trent wished he could be He makes all the right reads At exactly the right times But he means nothing to us And YE OLE don't know why

I like this idea... Maybin just may be able to play the role that they're trying to jam Kelsay into. It's obvious Maybin can't play on the line at this point, but the dude looks like a safety out there. He seems to be pretty fast... who knows, might just work!

The only way Kelsay's extension makes any kind of sense is if they get him back to a DE role in a 4-3. By installing a new 4-3 alignment and still leaving Kelsay at OLB makes even less sense than giving him an extension to start with. What the hell is going on around here?

Paladino is bringing his baseball bat to Orchard Park to clean up this mess!

If/when Mr. Wilson passes, if Jimbo's mysterious group of owners swoop in and save of our team, is there any chance Jimbo reaches out to Bill Polian to return? Could he go to Bill and say "Bill... your beef was with Mr. Wilson... I ain't got no beef with you, and the proud people of this great city ain't got no beef with you. Come back and lets finish what we started 25 years ago..." Chris Polian would be well entrenched as the Colts GM at this point and maybe Bill gets the competitive itch to get back in the trenches. And what a way to put the icing on the cake of his legacy... to bring the Buffalo Bills to their 5th Super Bowl and... WIN What say you? Would you support such a move?

Maybe Chan finally lost it at practice with ole' Corny and was like, "SON! Why don't you make like a tree and get outta here!" with that patented Chan Gailey post game 'I'm having a stroke' kind of look

Wow. All YE OLE can say is... wow.

The Bills are staying in Buffalo, YA HEARD?! In all seriousness, one part of the interview that I thought was a little morbid, yet intriguing was how Ralph referenced the turn around taking 3 years and how he "probably won't be around to see it." Now granted Ralph will be 92 on Sunday, and we should perhaps take everything he says with a grain of salt, but the wording seemed to foreshadow a post Ralph Wilson era of Bills football in Buffalo.

I can't see moving Evans. He's clearly getting involved now that Fitz is throwing the ball his way, and the offense is playing at a decent level right now.

I could almost believe this, given some of the moves this FO is making. However, as others have pointed out here, if there were any GM's that would've given up a 3rd rounder or better for Lynch, why didn't THEY call? That's a 2 way street, and it doesn't make any sense to me why a team that wanted Lynch so badly that they're wringing their hands over it now, wouldn't have taken the initiative to call and inquiry about his availability when it was clear he was on the trading block since we drafted Spiller back in April.

I've been thinking the same thing, although I think he did make a play or two yesterday. At this point, however, I truly believe that coaching is seriously flawed on that side of the ball right now. It's clear that guys are out of position all over the place on most every play. I saw in another post that someone at the game heard Stroud come to the sideline and shouting something to the effect of "Do we even know the f*** is going on out there?" Something's got to give... this team would be far from the worst team in the league right now with even an avg. defense.

Gabe Northern just called you a dipstick!

I'm curious to see what Brohm can do as well, but I've done a complete 180 on how I felt about Fitzpatrick a month ago. I can't see pulling the guy right now. In the 3 games he's started this season he's completing 61% of his passes for 595 yds, 7 TD's/2 INT's (QB rating of 99.9). Our offense is averaging 23.3 ppg with Fitz under center. He definitely has a couple of "Fitz" moments here and there (ie the errant screen passes yesterday) but overall, this team's offense is playing well enough to win games. When is the last time we had a QB throw for 7 TD's over a 3 game stretch? Ironically, I think if Brohm came in and put up equal production as Fitzpatrick, we'd be happy to move forward with him as our starter.

This is directed to Ray and those of you who were at the game. Is what I'm seeing on TV accurate, in terms of coverage? It seems that we keep getting LB's covering WR's down field, consistently enough that it seems by design. If you were at the game, I'd like your thoughts on this as you'd have a much better view of what was going on. It seems like, the strength of our defense (the secondary) isn't even around on many pass attempts. What are they doing out there?

YE OLE will tell you this... our talent is far from outstanding on the defensive side of the ball, BUT... it's much better than what we are seeing out there. This defense is the stuff of legend right now in how bad it is. As bad as some of our defenses have been in the past we've NEVER in franchise history allowed 4 consecutive 30+ point games... until today. What's more is, I'm constantly seeing plays where Poz or Kelsay are chasing other teams #1 WR's downfield. WTF is that?! How many times did Sims-Walker or this Davis cat make catches downfield today with Poz trailing 10 yards behind the play? It's happening way too often for this not to be by design. At worst, our secondary looked to be very talented coming into this season, and they've suddenly been rendered completely useless. The players are an issue... the talent's not great, but it's certainly not as bad as this garbage. There's clearly no ability right now to put guy's into position to make plays on that side of the ball. Offensively, we're becoming more watchable than this team has been in sometime, but the regression on defense has made it impossible to win any games in the forseeable future. We are not going to win when we are giving up 30-40 points every single week.

YE OLE is going with One Night in Bangkok by the legendary Murray Head. I can just picture Buddy and Chan karaokeing this after yet another loss. This was a tough one though, because I could also see them going a good job with the Kasas masterpiece: Carry on My Wayward Son

WHO-AH

As the OP explained, he was the perceived owner, but unbeknownst to everyone he, in fact, did not own a majority share as everyone had believed. Thus it was shocking when he was being escorted out. OP was saying "what if" something like that was the case here, where unbeknownst to all of us Ralph, in fact, no longer had a majority share of this team.

If only someone had thought of this before...

Buddy had a trade all mapped out in his head, but then he got to the fax machine to send in the paperwork and got a blank stare on his face. After a minute and a half of this nonsense, he forgot what the trade was. Then he went back to his office and had a ham samitch.

I think Mr. NaPolian has been searching for a clue for a very long time now, but one has yet to be found!

When this team makes it back to the Super Bowl, Nix should lead the team onto the field with a brisk jog, sporting a poorly fitted 3 piece suit, and waving a single finger in the air.

I can see Nix stepping up to the podium today and proceeding to sing, "Ham bone hame bone where ya been? Down to the river and back again!" And then stepping away, never to be heard from again.

Wow... Gibran AND Seifert were riding the horse together? That sounds fancy!
