What an absolutely amazing athlete. A disgusting human being, but an amazing athlete. That sack he avoided was Fluti-esque.

Nice freakout.

I would call making a judgment after two games freaking out. Looking for marked improvement for a rebuilding team after two games and one draft is freaking out. Trying to compare any coach in the NFL over the past 50 years to Lombardi is delusional. So have fun freaking out. You are freaking out.

Well, you can freak out after two games thinking that this is the end product. That is your prerogative. I'll reserve judgment until the sample size is larger. And if you are expecting to somehow reincarnate the greatest coach of all time to fix the multitude of woes the Bills have, you go ahead. Have fun freaking out. Let's get back to the topic. We're talking about Sullivan bitching about Edwards being benched after two horrible games. He's whining that Edwards was benched and that he all of the sudden morph into a pro-Bowl QB inspired by Gailey. We're not talking about how much the Bills suck, which they do. I think benching an ineffective QB is a good idea. Other irrational riders of the rollercoaster think that it somehow means we should fire the staff, and that Gailey sucks. And that is dumb.

Dead on. Drafting has been horrible, especially in the higher rounds.

You apparently haven't read him much. He can find the negative side of winning the lottery. "Don't kill the messenger" only applies to factual pieces. He's the messgenger of his own opinion. Educate yourself before using a hackneyed phrase. What his opinion fails to recognize is that this is a rebuilding year. Period. This is what happens in rebuilding years. Period. This is what coaches do in rebuilding years. Period. Take your own advice and get a clue.

Seriously, do you understand the concept of rebuilding? This is how it works - tear it down, start over. It can't be done in one year, either, and it usually gets worse before it gets better. Why is that such a hard concept to understand? It sucks to watch it, but it is just how it works.

Factually? He doesn't deal in facts. He deals in opinion.

It was also their 4th year in the same scheme under DJ, and had been drafting and signing FA players for that scheme for 4 years. There really was no more learning curve, and the personnel he had fit his particular defense and offense. The Bills are rebuilding. This is what happens when you start with a team that has drafted poorly for 10 years and try to turn it around. It takes time.

Don't know whether to laugh or cry.

To me it is all about giving the team a chance to win. With Edwards, there is no chance at all. With Fitz, there is very little chance. Very little chance is better than no chance. I applaud Gailey for making the move. I agree we need a real QB, because I don't think we have one on the roster.

That is terrible. Makes me really sad to see that.

Sullivan is a whiny little B word. He desperately seeks the negative side of every situation and tries to compose an article about it. The only "Journalist" I know who might be worse than Sullivan is Matthews in Rochester. And it is close. This latest article is one of the worst he's ever written.

Are you trying to be funny or do you actually think that is a possibility?

He's been a different QB since that hit. His processing speed is markedly slower. Maybe some of that this year is due to a new offensive scheme, but that doesn't explain the the past two years. Brilliant. Improve by making us suck worse. Makes sense!

Spiller probably sat because he's a rookie facing a huge rush. Rookie RBs generally can't pick up a blitz or a rushing linebacker to save their lives, and so my guess is they sat him for more experienced backs that had a chance of blocking. If that is the case I understand the reasoning, but I think maybe he should have seen the field a bit more. The other problem is that if you read the board here, fans are in no mood to be patient with a rookie RB. He's going to make mistakes, he's going to miss blocks, and he's going to dance around before hitting a hole because it worked for him in college. Like the rest of the team while the Bills are rebuilding, it will take time for him. But it seems as if idiot fans don't realize that, and are impatient. The fact is fans MUST be patient with a new coach, new schemes, new GM, etc. As bad as the Bills have drafted over the past 10 years, we're going to have to go through this before it gets better. If you are a kitty and can't hack it, I suggest you stop watching for a year or two.

Really? Fire the coach after two games? Really?

Good God. Pretty hard to answer after two games, wouldn't you say?

That is pretty accurate. To blame everything on the QB is wrong, because the o-line sucks. To say Edwards is a good QB is wrong, because he is horrible. The offensive line, QB, and TEs are a complete joke. Really - a parade of fools.

my butt is aching the packers whipped me darn good my name is edwards

I hate spastic unrealistic trade scenarios.

As much as I dislike Sully and his usual negative whining and general douchebaginess, I think he's spot on on this one as well.

Seriously? You want a fat-assed loudmouth bufoon who is so obnoxious he alienates 1/2 the fans? I hate that mofo. A coach of his caliber couldn't seem to beat the Ravens at home with that D, or all the FAs they pulled in this year. I'll pass.

Yep, If asked to rank them I'd rank the checkdown problem as #1 and then the oline problem as a close second. Remove those issues, and problem solved. The other stuff can be overcome if the above two are solved. Except maybe the God part. If he's pissed off, we're screwed.

The answer is simple. Some people will try to say it is one thing, but is a combination of a few: 1. The O-line couldn't open holes. 2. We don't have TEs to block. 3. Trent checked down all the time, allowing the dolphins to stack the box. 4. Spiller danced around like a fruitcake. 5. God. It's God's fault.
