Wouldn't surprise me if Brandon leaves. Bills are a stable organization now. Brandon more of a distressed organization specialist.

Disagree. If Reich didn't win big right away, fanbase would be flying planes overhead calling him a wimp. Dumb not to consider. Personality of fanbase and media is part of organizational fit.

Unless he's a drastically different person from when he played for the Bills, can't see Reich doing well coaching the Jets. Complete personality mismatch with Jets fanbase.

Orton looks like he saved Maronne's job and probably Whaley's too. So it was worth it for them.

Landry Jones. If Polian is being brought on to consult, he thought Jones was best QB of the 2013 draft. Could probably be had for 5th or 6th rounder.

Quality GM's don't make the Watkins trade. I like Sammy and I give Whaley credit for having the balls to make that move, but you can't make that trade when your QB's are Manuel, Thad, and Tuel.

Need to do what Pete Carroll did at Seattle. Keep bringing in vets and drafting QB's until you find one. Sign or trade for a vet, and draft another one. Let Manuel compete with those 2 and hopefully cream rises to top.

Flacco was a quality starting QB almost immediately. Manuel being the tallest midget in his draft class doesn't mean Whaley/Bills had to draft him in 1st round. Only organizations dumb enough to draft QB's that high in the 2013 draft were Bills and Jets. Jets GM just got fired today. Without a viable QB, is 9-7 that much different than 4-12 when assessing the future?

Unfortunately, getting it wrong on a 1st round QB is a fatal mistake for a GM in the NFL. Not picking EJ means we could've had Carr this year, who I think could become a franchise QB. Trading up for Sammy looks like a bad move when you consider how deep the WR talent was in last year's draft. Koundjio looks like a bust.

Either Whaley or Maronne has to go. Someone has to be accountable for not only picking Manuel in 1st round, but rolling with Tuel and Thad last year and doing nothing to upgrade QB in offseason and being forced to over-pay Orton out of retirement.

Coaching can only do so much when you don't have above average QB play. Unfortunately, that's the way the NFL works. 1st round mistakes at QB usually take a couple years to overcome. I'd keep Marrone around, and get rid of Whaley.

Will be interesting to see what Bills do at QB. Hopefully Orton continues his solid play, but there always seems to be highly regarded QB's who fall in the draft. And there are only 4 teams (Tampa, St. Louis, Jets, Houston) who are threats to take a 1st round QB.

Stats aside, I thought Bradham had a brutal game. 3 personal foul penalties, a false start on offense, and most of Vick's scramble yards in 2nd qtr came at Bradham's expense. Not his best day.

Too much of a clown-show as a head coach. A damn good defensive coach though. Would take him as a D-Coordinator if we were in need of one. Added benefit that he knows the division especially the Pats well. That was a plus with Pettine too. Lucky for Bills, this is our NFC North year.

Props to Marrone for pulling the plug on Manuel now, but if it was my job on the line, I would've been going ape-$#!% for another QB the second Kolb got hurt. If you knew that you might pull the plug this early, I don't understand why we weren't more aggressive going after QB's in the off-season, whether it be the draft or free agency. Probably could've got Bridgewater or Carr for the Kuandjio pick + the Bryce Brown pick.

I don't consider 5 yd passes across the middle an example of accuracy or arm strength.

I've never seen Manuel fire a pass anywhere. The guy doesn't have good arm talent. Only so many plays you can run when you have a QB who can't zip passes into tight spaces and also has accuracy issues.

Tuel tore it up in the pre-season too. Doesn't take too long for NFL defenses to figure a guy out. Manuel has no fastball. There's a lot throws he's hesitant to make because he doesn't trust his arm. Slightly better version of Trent Edwards.

Don't have high hopes for Orton, but I've seen enough from Manuel. At least Orton can get the ball to WR's, and make the defense cover the whole field.

With $1.4B after-tax dollars, I hope Mary Wilson does the right thing and buys the naming rights to any new stadium. $200m for new stadium to be called Ralph Wilson stadium for next 30-40 years.

Watching unathletic, aging QB's like Eli and Palmer, makes it all the more amazing the longevity of Brady and Peyton Manning.

I don't have a problem with any of this. Shows these guys actually want to win.

Seattle's center was getting a 3-4 yard push on most run plays. Very impressive. Gotta match Seattle's violence to have any chance against them. Better version of the old Houston Oilers 'House of Pain'. Watching Wilson and Rodgers, EJ needs to play faster and be more decisive.

Loved Carr prior to draft. Would've been upset if he lasted to our 2nd round pick and we passed. Raiders got lucky he fell into their laps.

Sounds believable. If you're gonna get rid of the only QB behind Manuel who's won an NFL game, you better get me a true #2 instead of Palmer, who's a #3 at best.
