I think it is just a guess at this point who the Bills should have win. I agree San Diego is better than Miami, but they have an extremely difficult second half schedule. And a more motivated Miami team will not help the Bills on Thursday night. I think only time will tell which was the right outcome. Perhaps a tie.

Does anyone know the parameters of the voidable part of Orton's contract for 2015. Is it up to him, the team or either?

Did we ever determine his contract status for next year. Is it a club only option to void the contract, or can Orton just walk away if he gets a better offer? Seems unlikely he would, but who knows.

My bad. I'll get right on it sir!

Yeah that's the ticket. Crossman made the O-line suck! Nice piece of thinking there... Fire everyone-- I feel grumpy today. None of these people ever should have been hired. It was all a scam to sell tickets in Syracuse, and Bills fans are just stupid enough to fall for it. I mean Jimmy Spagnola was available--- what has Marrone ever done better than Jimmy.

Crossman is just another crony of Marrone. He has no business being a coordinator in this league. Did you ever look at his special teams rankings when at Detroit? Is it any wonder the Bills offense, urr special teams, is so bad.

Seriously? You are a depressingly sad person.

What QB in the 2015 is the sure thing, we could get him with a top 5 pick guy? With the rare exception of a P. Manning or Luck, when is there ever such a guy? RG III? I mean the best QBs today, such as Rogers, Brady,Brees etc etc were not top 5 guys. The closest you might find is E. Manning and P. Rivers (6th), who over their careers have been good but not great overall. How nice it would be if it were as easy as you suggest that 2015 is the one year where we would have found our guy but for the Watkins trade in the first round--presumably, according to you, by giving away lots of picks in 2016.

And the 4th was really Stevie Johnson.

I don't understand the "giant price" thing-- even though most everyone says it. When you set aside all the discussion of how many draft picks we gave up, at the end of the day we gave up Stevie Johnson and next year's first round pick for Sammy. Now I guess we are all sure that whoever the Bills would have taken with say the 15th pick next year would be the greatest player ever, the fact is it is just one player and he may or may not turn out to be a bust. So we could have Stevie, perhaps Ebron and Mr. Unknown from next year or Sammy. It seems that is just about the right price for Sammy, and not really exhorbitant. Especially when you have him now.

Well the Jets lost to Detroit and Chicago, who the Bills of course beat.

I think that says it all-- the Bills are the functional equivalent of a 1-6 team according to oddsmakers.

Beautiful!!!

Fred said this morning that doctors told him it is typically a 4 week injury. No surgery, just rehab. 1 centimeter pull of muscle off the bone. Fortunate it was not worse. Will do everything to get back sooner. He should miss two games for sure, if he heals fast he might be back for the Miami game on Thursday 11/13. If a full 4 weeks, the Jets game on 11/23 will be 5 weeks from date of injury. So it looks like 3 games he'll miss, with an outside chance of only 2.

No. People in DC want Cousins benched because he throws so many picks. Want him benched in favor of Colt McCoy! Dying for RG III to return.

The defense gave up 37 effing points, and all the talk is about offensive shortcomings. Seriously? The Pats scored on literally every drive in the second half. How many games do you expect to win giving up 24 second half points?

Seinfeld never gets old! LOL

He could have given more...

That's good. Information is good, and I like the job he is doing.

This guy writing for the Syracuse Post-Standard is a bit of fresh air in the coverage of the Bills. He actually talks to people and gets sourced quotes. Not all this "unnamed but special people around the league--trust me I know these kind of people-- are laughing at the Bills stupidity" crap that is the general style of the BN. He appears to actually get off his ass and talk to people -- like John Wawrow-- and not just take a couple of quotes from press conference and make up a story around some plucked out quotes. I mean it's not Pulitzer stuff, but it's informative, which is a lot better than I usually read with respect to the Bills... CD

Listening to Marrone's PC, the injuries do not sound significant, at least as a long term problem. There clearly is a chance both KW and NB will play this week, so the MRIs must have come back relatively clean. So it seems like the Bills have dodged a bullet on these injuries.

They are still starting...

Unnamed source from the Bills quoted in a blog yesterday in the BN said that neither injury was thought to be serious but they were checking them out. For what it is worth...

Right. People develop at different speeds, it is not one size fits all. People forget that Favre was drafted by Atlanta and traded away-- he had many of the same problems back in the day. In the world we live in, everything has to happen instantly. Unfortunately people don't work like the internet, and it's a shame because too many people have to make snap judgments.

You'd make a fine assassin...
