KOKBILLS

OMG FITZ SUX!!! Kidding...I agree...I do think The Bills would like to bring in a UFA, and Draft a QB, so they would have the option of axing Fitz...There is always the worry that keeping a 3 year starter could split the locker room should the new QB falter...But if they can't do better than Fitz as a back-up for 2013, no question keeping him is an option they should and will consider...

Calvin Johnson I'd pick those two as well...

Ahhh...OK...I did not see that with KW this year...At least not much...He must have played really well in the few games The Bills did stop the run...Or at least slowed it down...I know he did not do much in the games they got stomped on the ground...Then again no one did...

Great Post OP... I too am surprised KW scored that high...And I'm interested in how Dareus scored...I think at times while he was in there, Carrington was our best D-Lineman...He's definitely coming on... And agreed on Levitre and Byrd...The Bills will have a hard time advancing if they don't keep their best players...Too many holes still remain... Makes sense that KW and Dareus showed poorer vs the run...No doubt about it...

I think everyone is diving on the Nassib thing WAY too quickly...It's a huge, huge unknown right now...Marrone and Hackett are going to be like kids in a candy store looking at all these QB's. They're Offensive Football Coaches...Why would anyone assume they will like Nassib best of this class coming out? It's just so early for that assumption...

So...You're telling me the Harvard Grad did not know how to do his job properly because Gailey did not teach him properly? Why is it still so hard for some to understand that Fitz has never really been good enough? He has not been, he's not now, and he likely never will be...Can we not strive for better? Time to move on...It's just time...

I'm AOK with Marrone, so I really like the idea of bringing Hackett...They obviously feel they work well together...That can't be a bad thing...People who have had success together should stick together... Like The Beatles for example...

Jackson is a UFA in 2013...Not that we can't re-sign him...But there is no way The Bills can stand-pat at QB because I expect Fitz and Thigpen may BOTH be out the door...So they may need 2 new guys...Maybe 3...

Here's the main thing with me and Mallett now...and I liked him more than most coming out...If Belichick was willing to trade him inside Division, there's no way I would touch the Kid...I can't see the Pats wanting to trade him to a team they play twice every year if they truly thought he was any good... It's just a weird situation with Mallett...Fooled us once...Remember?

Definitely slimmer pickings than 2011 huh? The top of that Draft was loaded with talent...It does seem to me like the 2013 Draft is going to have some real nice talent at OL in the first few Rounds...I'll tell you what...I don't think The Bills will go O-Line at #8 whatsoever...but if they stay there, they're going to pass on a couple real nice O-Line prospects... The QB's in this Draft don't lack talent, but most are no where near NFL ready...I think a certain team (like The Bills for example) could start Geno Smith next year and have some success with a strong running game and smart-safe game planning...But a team that starts Tyler Wilson, Matt Barkley, Mike Glennon, or any of these other 2013 QB's as a Rookie, better have a hell of a good plan...And a heck of a lot of patience...I'm not overly impressed with the WR's in this Draft either... There is always a ton of talent in every Draft, but it is tough for me to get too excited about this group so early in the process...Right now, especially considering The Bills primary needs, it looks a lot like meh...To me at least... We'll see...I'll be giddy again in April like most everyone else...

Exactly...I LOVED Kelly's comments at Halftime...The most honesty I think I've ever heard out of a HC that was clearly out-talented...

I've been saying for a while now that Te'o was more Rey Maualuga than Ray Lewis...I think tonight we saw exactly that...But let me say this, he should still be a good, productive Pro...Like Maualuga, I think Te'o has a good NFL future...He's just not going to be confused with Patrick Willis any time soon...And I don't think he's a Top 10 pick...

I agree with this take...Personally I think the whole "bridge QB" thing is a waste of time...Why would Alex Smith want to go cross-country to be in the exact same situation he was just in? I mean, if nothing else give the guy a break!!! If you're going to take a young guy high, and you think enough about him to do so...Play him...Figure out a way to get him experience while he learns...Mold an Offense around him that is simpler, but allows him to see what NFL Defense do on the field...If he's the QB you think he is, you'll see the payoff in year #2...And if he's REALLY good he might even win you a few games in year #1...

The pond story is excellent... I would add this...Please don't tell us it's hard to win in the NFL...We know this all too well...

Agreed...If Horton does not get one of the current openings, he will be one and done with another good season as a DC... I just can't see Lovie coming and working under a 1st time NFL HC...Maybe I'm wrong...I do think that should Lovie miss out on one of the current jobs there would be no better way to establish himself as a legit HC prospect again then to resurrect this terrible Bills Defense...I think in that case Lovie would be a one and done as well... I'm just guessing it will not be a big name at DC...We'll see soon enough...

Belinda and DOOMED!!! are my personal favs...

Word!

Agreed...And though I'm far tougher on Nix than most, I'll add one potential stud to that list in Alex Carrington...I really feel like he's on the edge of being a player, and I think he's going to push Kyle Williams HARD for PT in 2013...

I'm not writing this as an endorsement of Marrone necessarily...But I agree with this take... As a Bills 1st, but Michigan 2nd, and Syracuse 3rd Football fan, I doubt very much anyone can have more disdain for Greg Robinson than I do...What Marrone did there (Cuse), to me at least, was pretty significant...My immediate reaction was not positive when I heard Marrone would be interviewed...Like most I thought about the overall record at Cuse first...But after a day I thought...well...This is a HC that is going to get more, not less out of the talent he's given...If he brings that trait alone to Buffalo it will be a major step forward... We'll see I guess...But I don't hate the choice at all...And I've been tremendously hard on The Bills Organization for a while now...

True, it's not tough to be an All-Star among this bunch...

John, You are quickly becoming one of my favorite members of this board... So I guess I should apologize for that right now... Seriously though...Great points all...

If in fact this was all Brandon and Whaley, and no Nix...All I can say is thank God!!!...

Don't know why I want The Colts to win this game as badly as I do...But I do...

We'll see... You're opinion is noted...Should you prove to be able to predict the future, I'm certain we will all erect a statue in your honor...
