More likely than Mort getting played is that Mort is helping Polian out knowing that Polian needs people to think he is staying at ESPN.

The interesting thing is that HOF voting is 31 January. Polian CANT take a job before then or he is ineligible. I wonder if this report is just out there just so that it doesnt impact the HOF vote in 4 weeks....then Polian joins the Bills. Just a random thought...

Well this is getting fun. Matt Millen anyone??? (j/k)

This is very similar to the way Bill O'Brien left Penn State. Many said the same things "new players wont find him credible, etc.". Players are (rightfully) miffed, but at the end of the day its business, and people will move on. I think its crappy that both O'Brien and Marrone left without even telling their current players that they were leaving, but I guess that is what you should expect since they are both best of friends, and decendents from the Belichick tree.

The other thing with Schwartz is that you keep the Defensive coaches (who are under contract). That would prevent Marrone from taking them all to the Jets. Thats a big slap in the face to Marrone (although this is not a REASON to hire Schwartz...but it is a benefit).

At least It's obvious that playing him doesn't give us the best chance to win anymore!

Wow. Didnt see that one coming!

No. Pit would need to beat CIN to knock CIN out. We get in basically one of 2 ways (All starts with Bills winning out) 1) Pit wins out or, 2) Baltimore loses out. Its pretty close to that simple.

Guys...as long as we dont overlook Oakland, there is a chance we can be playing New England for a playoff spot. 10-6 doesnt guarentee us a playoff slot, but I was fooling around with ESPN's Playoff Machine. If everyone who is higher in the power rankings wins out...and we go 10-6, we miss the playoffs. But to show you how close it is, if only ONE game changes (SF beats San Diego, or Houston beats Baltimore, or Cleveland beats Baltimore, or Kansas City beats San Diego) we are IN. Gotta be happy we are in this position! 10-6 gets in almost evey other year.

Time of Posession: Buffalo: 13:59 Denver: 5:20 Keep that up!!!

AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I do like Peyton and Eli. I think they are good ambasadors for the game...but I hope Peyton gets pounded into the pavement today. Seriously, I dont care how much you hate them...the truth is that without them, Tom Brady would likely have 3 more super bowl rings (XLI, XLII and XLVI). For that reason alone you gotta love 'em! But not today.!!!

You're up Lebron.

Mike Williams for Doug Martin?

Strength of Victory

And then...in true Buffalo fashion, we lose to Denver and Green Bay...We lay an egg in Oakland...and then all we need to do is beat the Patriots 3rd string...and we finish 9-7. The script is written...

Because the division tiebreaker is first. Baltimore wins over Pittsburgh. We win over Baltimore. Need to go 10-6 to get in, IMO.

Hackenberg is probably on everyone's list of QBs. The kid has #1 overall talent, and looks the part too. If he can learn to eliminate some of his decision making mistakes...I think he is a sure-fire first rounder. I wouldnt say he suffers from a lack of weapons. That WR corp is pretty good. Young (bunch of true Freshman and a Sophomre), but they are good. Good TE's too (James especially - guy will be in the NFL, probably a late round pick though). RB is a weak spot, but that is mostly due (again) to the line. Lynch and Belton were good last year, but are getting tore up behind that abysmal line. If MIles Diffenbach comes back (SR Guard who has been injured all year, but may play tonight), that should help a TON. The left side of the line should be "average" at that point.

I guess this is our first chance to find out how cheap Pegula is...

I never supported Trump, except as maybe as a better option over JBJ, or anyone with overt designs to taking the team to LA, Toronto, or elsewhere. But the guy is a blow-hard. The one thing I'll say about him is that he wants to "win" at whatever he does...so he would have given it a good shot, and spent the money so he doesnt look like a failure...but then again, he has a long list of "failures" on his resume these days. But I agree...can this guy just go away?

Maybe...but I think they will take either Harbaugh...and only one may be available after the season.

Next Michigan head coach. Almost 100% guarantee it. Its too perfect of a fit not to work out.

The receivers aren't the problem. They probably have 2-4 NFL players at WR/TE (who are mostly all FR/SO too). The problem is the OL, the lack of a running game, and (quite honestly), a scheme that doesnt fit Hack very well. Bill O'Brien ran a much better pro offense. James Franklin wants to run the wildcat and line hack up as a WR for 5-6 plays in a row. Highlights from his true freshman year:

Hack broke every Penn State QB record about 2 games into his Sophomore year. I watch him every week, and he screams NFL QB. He looks the part, and 95% of the time, he performs. Admittedly he has been pretty inaccurate the last 2 games (although that is relatively new for him). Also, you think Buffalo's offensive line is bad? Penn State is starting 2 Freshman, a Sophmore, and 2 Juniors (total of 4 new starters this year), and is STRUGGLING. They cant run the ball worth a lick either, so they have to rely on Hack's arm, and he is starting to force it. I wouldnt judge him based on the last 2 games. He is still only a Sophomore...but if he isnt a top 10 pick, i'll be stunned.

Oh, I dont know. Colin Kapernick, Russell Wilson, Andy Dalton and Geno Smith?
