Fred was the team leader, but Rex wanted his main man Hotrod to be the leader, so Fred had to go is the way I see it.

This year we lead the league in penalties. In 2014 we were 5th. In 2013 we were 9th. 2012 15th. Trending down for sure, but it's been a problem for a while now spanning 3 coaching regimes.

But Kyle did. And thats why we had a winning season. And if you want to take away the Patsies** win last year, we still must win 2 out of the last 3 to match it. Not as given.

I know there is a lot of talk about looking at the catch rule. I think this needs to be looked at as well. What is a pick and what is not? Looks like a lot of teams are running it a lot with very inconsistent calls.

Really machine gun. However, I don't see what Eric Wood has to do with Karlos' plethora of injuries.

He's still injury riddled even if he doesn't have a conclusion. Seriously, the dude misses momre time than CJ.

Not too far fetched. He had a concussion at FSU and another a few weeks ago.

Good, I'm sure they will make it much more complicated than it already is. With the NFL's love of high scoring and offense I'm a little perplexed as to why they current rule is so restrictive. You'd think they'd want more catches and especially TD catches.

Herm and I disagree as to the first part. As to the second part, yes. Actually I never turn it on because it's a total time suck and I really don't care what famous people are saying anyway.

Or, a player could shut down his social media BS during the season like Hotrod did. You know, concentrate on football. Leave the other BS to the Kim Kardashian and Snoop Dog types.

I think jocks are really good at this. Aaron Rodgers has a chip on his shoulder because he was picked late in the 1st round. McCoy because he was traded. On and on. Jocks like to have something that they can use to fire them up. If there's nothing legit like a division opponent that knocked them out of the playoffs or something, they always have stuff like this.

Just for the record, this is what he said "He wants the full control. You see how fast he got rid of all the good players. Especially all the good black players. He got rid of them the fastest. That's the truth. There's a reason. ... It's hard to explain with him. But there's a reason he got rid of all the black players -- the good ones -- like that." http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/12827934/buffalo-bills-running-back-lesean-mccoy-discusses-race-chip-kelly-rex-ryan

Certain kind of white guys too it seems.

I agree with him. I hate watching sports shows when it's all about so and so said such and such on Twitter. Sports shows have turned into gossip shows. Thus, I watch a lot less. It's not only sports. Most media has gotten lazy and just reports what's going on Twitter and people's reaction to it. If I cared what was going on on Twitter I'd look at Twitter. Give me something I can't get on Twitter.

My favorite part of the whole Shady thing is that he said Chip Kelly was running off the the black guys. Then, after the Suck for Lucks game he posed for a picture of the Chip Kelly rejects. It was 2 black guys and 1 white guy, which is probably close to the percentage in the NFL. http://sportsmasher.com/2015/09/14/lesean-mccoy-gets-a-picture-with-chip-kellys-rejects/

I think the point is that if we improved on some things we could rank 9th? Or higher ...

I went to a lot of games at Texas Stadium from 1972 until 1988. I sold programs and then we got to watch the rest of the game. Far from reserved during the Tom Landry 20 straight winning seasons hayday. And we could bring in our own beer. Never saw anyone doing bowling ball shots, but still ...

Yeah I went to that game too. It was awesome. We whipped 'em good. However the fans in 2015 are different than those fans. When Pete came and the Hawks got good again with all their trash talking and swag they attracted a ton of new band wagon fans that are not like the old fans. So it will be interesting to see how it goes next year. But you're right. It is a nice stadium. New, but not with too much cheese like a lot the new ones like the Boss Hogg Dome (Cowboys) or 49ers. But hey, I love the Ralph and hope we just sit tight there. Game experience as we know it will be gone. Tailgating and bowling ball shots as we know it will be gone forever. We're talking major gentrification here. Be careful what you ask for.

When we have attacked and blitzed we have had success. Indianapolis and the 2nd Patsie** games for example. I feel like I'm in the football Twilight Zone where we think we got an aggressive defensive coach who keeps playing coverage instead of coming after the QB. Kurt Warner says you can get any QB off his game with pressure. We can get pressure when we want to but often, it seems, don't want to for some unknown reason. Why can't resident geniusses such as Sal or Tim ask Rex about this at one of the press conferences? The thing that really gets me about the D is how many 80+ yard drives we give up. Again, I think I'm in the Twilight Zone and Jauron is back with his bend don't break defense.

I will laugh so hard if they fire Coughlin to hire Todd Haley.

Yeah because they don't drink or smoke cigars in Buffalo.

Patsies** lost to the Eagles who have only won one more game than the Jaguars. NO way they're going anywhere either..

I'm not a big tailgater, I've been to these: Houston - Pretty cool pre game experience with a country rock band playing the parking lot. Everyone was cool. Lady in front of was gloating during the game until Blue Dredsloe got us the lead at the end for the win. Then she got persnicketty. New Orleans - People were very cool and welcoming. Of course the Saints sucked then so they couldn't really say too much. Seattle - In 2004 it was pretty tame. Now, probably no so much. The bandwagon fans are horrible. Opposing fans have been beat up. Cops even had under cover cops in 49er jerseys to catch punks last year. Dallas - It was pre season a long time ago and I was not yet a Bills fan but my future wife was. We tailgated with my cousins and brothers so it was pretty cool. My drunk cigar smoking cousin did start trash talking to her after the game though.

I guess that settles that. I don't even have to watch.

Charlie "Clipboard Jesus" Whitehurst has been in this situation before. In 2010, the 6-9 Seahawks met the 7-8 Rams at home on the Sunday night game. Winner take all. The injured starter, Matt Hasselbeck was injured and backup Charlie was called into action. He played well and the Seahawks defeated the rookie (Sam Bradford) led Rams. Seahawks became first team to make playoffs with losing record and beat the Saints in the Beast Quake game. I was at that game.
