Brian Westbrook has been one of the best at running and receiving over the last few years.

Toronto probably wouldn't want this Bills team. It will be interesting to see the attendance for the games this year. I'm wondering if the regular season game will be New England, after the 1st two were against the other AFC East teams.

Interesting. Edwards was on with Colin Cowherd in the morning and they were talking about a list Cowherd came up with on the worst head coaching jobs. Not a surprise that Bills were #2 behind The Raiders.

Sorry Code Monkey. Did a quick scan and ran a search and didn't see anything obvious.

Rick Gosselin of the Dallas Morning News wrote the following: "The Buffalo Bills wanted to make a splash with their next head coaching hire. They wanted a name – a big name. When you fail to qualify for the playoffs a single time in the decade, you need to remind your fans you're serious about winning. So the Bills courted Mike Shanahan. They courted Bill Cowher. Brian Billick, Jon Gruden and Marty Schottenheimer also were rumored to be in the mix. But none of the celebrity coaches wanted any part of the Bills. Not only was Schottenheimer not interested – neither was his son Brian, the offensive coordinator of the Jets. So on Tuesday, the Bills settled on Chan Gailey. The same Chan Gailey who was fired by the Cowboys in 2000 after only two seasons as head coach. The same Chan Gailey who was fired as head coach by Georgia Tech in 2007. The same Chan Gailey who was fired as offensive coordinator by the Kansas City Chiefs on the eve of the 2009 season. Smirk if you will, but Gailey may turn out to be an ideal hire for the Bills. Gailey has spent a large chunk of his career developing young players, having spent nine years as a head coach in college and another two in the World League. That makes him a superb fit in Buffalo, where he inherits a team with the fifth-youngest roster in the NFL. The three teams competing with the Bills in the AFC East all have quarterbacks in place: Tom Brady at New England, Mark Sanchez at the Jets and Chad Henne at the Dolphins. The Bills have an unsettled quarterbacking situation with Ryan Fitzpatrick and Trent Edwards. Until that gets settled, Buffalo will not contend in the East. But Gailey has a history of turning quarterbacks into producers. He presided over NFL offenses that went to the playoffs with Mike Tomczak, Kordell Stewart and Jay Fiedler taking the snaps. He also turned undrafted Tyler Thigpen into a 2,600-yard passer inside of one season at Kansas City. So go ahead and smirk at the hiring of Gailey. There were smirks when the Bills hired Marv Levy, too."

LOL!! Did he have only one foot on the scale??

Hey, I'm 52 and I don't consider myself old. I still play basketball.

Here are some physical stats from NFL.com: Maybin- 6-4, 250 Schobel- 6-4, 243 (if Maybin is small, what is Schobel?) Kelsay- 6-4, 261 C.Ellis- 6-4, 261 Maybin put on a lot of muscle between the end of his last college season and the Combine. He likely can add some more. Yes, the Bills DEs are on the small side weight-wise compared to the average NFL DE but that's what fit their scheme.

You mean like when we drafted JP ??

Excellent response. Anyone who doesn't agree with Gailey as head coach has several options. They can stop following the Bills. They can stop going to the games or watching the Bills on NFL Ticket. Not much is gained by whining about it.

I know it's very disappointing when we hoped for someone like Cowher, Gruden, Shanahan to be hired but let's give Nix and Gailey some time to prove themselves. Let's see what happens with the draft, free agency and how the team does for like the 1st half of the 2010 season. I admit some bias when Nix was promoted to GM and Gailey mentioned as top candidate for head coach as to them being Bubbas from the South. Then I thought about how the South knows football. They live and breathe football. Gailey has been successful and has a better resume than Gregg Williams, Mularkey & Jauron did when they were hired. In fact I think he has a better resume than Levy did when he was hired as Bills' HC. Gailey took the Cowboys to the playoffs in both seasons as their head coach. So, again, I suggest giving this new regime some time to gain our confidence.

Bring back Ted Cottrell. He now has head coaching experience so if Gailey doesn't work out, he takes over.

Root for the Saints this year. At least the Bills have been to 4 Super Bowls. Saints joined NFL in 1967 and have never made it.

He's somewhat of a jerk, too!! He had a public spat with Alex Smith and threw him under the bus. I just have a feeling, after having tasted being head coach, he's not a guy you'd want as a coordinator. He'd probably make Gailey miserable.

How long before the team name gets changed to the "Buffalo Bubbas"???!!

You never know what Al Davis is going to do but he's another owner that won't pay for head coaching talent. I don't think he'd make a good enough offer to Frazier if he even talked to him.

Looking at the voting for the AP All-Pro team, it was interesting to see the following for Offensive Tackles: 1. Jason Peters- the guy we couldn't make happy & traded away: 5th with 5 votes 2. Bryant McKinnie- in retrospect, the guy the Bills should've taken over Fat Mike Williams- 4 votes 3. Michael Oher- the guy the Bills should've taken with their 1st pick of the 2009 Draft instead of Maybin- 4 votes

That was probably $10 Mil for the whole contract.

Somebody needs to contact Nix. Maybe they haven't even thought of Sherman.

LOL!! BFW1234 has 146 posts and about 25 of them either just say "Brohm" or include his opinion that he will be the starting QB. Are you a relative of Brohm??

GR8PRKN has been waived from the Practice Squad!! 8-4??!! You going to stop playing after 12 games??

My local paper (Sacramento Bee, a McClatchy paper) had these notes on Leslie Frazier: "A former Chicago Bears defensive teammate of Mike Singletary on the Super Bowl XX championship team, Frazier worked his way up the ranks as a defensive backs coach before becoming a highly regarded defensive coordinator in Minnesota. He's said to be a leader of men with a high football IQ. Look for Frazier to become the Buffalo Bills' new coach as soon as this week and for him to have a longer NFL coaching career than Pete Carroll in Seattle." The "He's said to be a leader of men with a high football IQ." line reminds me too much of someone else once part of the Bears organization.

He lacks vision into holes. He ends up in Beast Mode most of the time because he runs into his blockers or the defense. He had a few decent runs this year on counter plays but F.Jackson is much more consistently productive.

I noticed that Saturday's NFL schedule was risky as both games were on NBC with the 1st game starting at 4:30 PM Eastern time and allotted 3.5 Hours with the 2nd game starting at 8:00 PM. I wonder what their plan was if the 1st game went into overtime, and especially extended overtime, not a minute plus like the Arizona/Green Bay game.

I'm sure some of you caught this. At the start of the 2nd half of the Baltimore/New England game, the Pats go three-aqnd-out so Chris Hanson comes in to punt and shanks it out at the 30 yard line for about a 30 yard kick. One of his teammates (#50- Rob Ninkovich) was obviously close to the sideline mike about where the ball went out, turns around towards Hanson and yells out "C'mon Chris!! You Moron!!" That was hilarious!!
