I agree with you wholeheartedly. On the other hand, every time the Bills have had a chance to "send a message" in the past decade, they've fallen flat on their collective faces.

You were saying?

Ain't that the truth.

Wow. Now that's a glass-half-empty view if I ever saw one.

Post of the day, easily.

I'm interested to hear Bill's take on Dareus, knowing that he was benched for the first quarter for repeated tardiness to meetings. What a shame, this guy can be fantastic if he can ever focus.

So we would get a RT in the early 1st round?

No, we just need to trade him for a 1st or 2nd round pick.

Oh common man, you know it isn't.

I would totally love to see a four TE set. Just think how that would mess with the defense.

I think it would be great if the Bills front office held a public exorcism with a formal apology to those guys, while acknowledging that it very likely brought on the playoff curse. That would be awesome.

Talent, discipline, preparation, execution. The Bills seem to be doing better on the talent acquisition side, but it's up to these coaches to improve the consistency of the other three. Some teams do it better than others. Those that do, end up winning those close games more than losing.

You'd think after 14 straight years of having this conversation we'd get tired of it.

Will everyone still be saying that if Thad comes out and lights it up on Sunday?

Totally. Probably because we've seen so many of those QBs since, oh, Rob Johnson. That, and the QB who has enough pocket presence to just check down every time.

I blame Russ.

I'd say I'm right around 50%. I've seen enough to know he has the tools, he just needs to develop properly. I don't know if this is the coaching staff to do it, but with more time and confidence I think he can be a good one. Then again, with more time and continued struggles he can also be a frazzled mess. Seems like a coin flip.

I know we have the best snow on Earth where I am!

Lucky for him the Bengals punter got destroyed in that game. What an ugly hit that was.

...aaaand we're still in last place in the division.

The big concern about Kolb when we signed him was his durability. He then goes and gets significantly injured twice before the season started, one of which was from an inanimate object. And someone is still thinking about this guy starting for us?

I just Googled the weather for the weekend, and it said a low of 13. Sure it can happen in the middle of the night, but depending on when the high occurs it may still be snowing most of the morning and perhaps later.

Is he even still on the team? Unless that's what you meant by underperforming.

I can't recall, but I thought I saw a low in the teens, so perhaps that has something to do with it.

Chandler is having a career year, actually. Currently tied his career best in catches with two games to play. Is he great? No, but he's coming off a major knee injury, and it's not like he's playing poorly. One fumble, yes, I know. Robert Woods has had the most catches by a Bills rookie since Lee Evans, and is 16 catches away from the Bills rookie record with two games to play. This, after missing 4 games with an injury. And playing what many think is the most difficult position for a rookie player. Oh, and yes...ROBEY
