KOKBILLS

Exactly... Hopefully... Not if they play Defense the way they did the last 6 Quarters...

Slow and stiff? Really? Not at Alabama he wasn't...No way... UGH!!! This kills me because the kid is my favorite Bills player...It just kills me...But... Folks...It's pretty much this simple IMHO...Dareus ran a 4.92 and killed it at the Combine in just about every area...He was a stand out player in his last 2 years at Alabama...Quick and strong...Almost a flawless prospect...So what has happened? 20 plus pounds, that's what...Dareus weighed in at 319 at Indy...He admitted to being about 340 at Camp this year...I'm trying to find the interview where he shrugged off the question about his weight...But there is no question it's effecting his play...He's only 6-3...He needs to be at about 315-320...Just look at him...He looks overweight...It's a problem because Dareus combined strength with quickness to become one of the better College DT's coming out in recent years...The extra lbs have killed that quickness...I can't believe the Bills Coaching Staff let him get that big...It tells me a lot about the lack of attention to detail Chan has passed down...It also makes me wonder about Dareus' work ethic and desire to be the best he can be... And it's JMO...But I don't think the death of his brother is the main cause of his down play whatsoever...And I'm not trying to say he's not effected by it either...What I am saying is Bills Fans have just started to notice what was apparent before the death of the kids brother...This is not something new with Dareus...He's showed flashes, but he's rarely played up to his capability since he's been a Buffalo Bill...And he's been terrible vs the run for the majority of his Pro career...Go watch the tape...You'll see...Players who have 1/4 of Marcell's physical ability are FAR better vs the run... Marcell is underachieving it's nothing new, and the Bills passed on not one, not two, not even three, but FIVE Pro-Bowl players in favor of Dareus...You just gotta love this Teams luck... It's not too late for Dareus to turn it around...But he's going to have to drop the weight, grow a killer instinct, and regain that quickness off the ball he lacks all too often now...

Not to mention Julio Jones, JJ Watt, and Aldon Smith were all Drafted after the Top 5...

Excellent simplification!!!

Well...I'm not sure how much actual facts matter on this board...But the effort is definitely appreciated by some of us...

Agreed...The guys on WGR's afternoon show made a great point today...They were talking about how both Chan and Nix are always saying "Fitz has done it before, " or "We've seen Fitz do it, we know what he can do..." And it's really getting a bit ridiculous...It's the type of thing you can say about the great one's...We have seen Brady and Brees do it before...We can assume they will do it again...They are proven over an extended period of time...They have proven they can be consistent, and they have proven they can beat you all over the field...They have proven they can take a Team to the Playoffs, they have proven they can win a SB...So if Brady, or Brees, or Rogers has an off game...Or a couple off games...It's reasonable to assume they will bounce back...Fitz has no where near that kind of resume...So when they flippantly say "We've seen him do it before, " and they assume due to that he's going to do it again, and be just fine...Well...You know what happens when you assume... BTW...I don't think Nix or Gailey are that dumb...I think they know, and I think they are towing the Company line for now...If Fitz does not completely turn this thing around over the next 11 games he will be replaced in 2013...They simply can't be that stupid...

If we had a better Defense we would win more Games because our Defense is better...It would not fix Fitz...Not for the long-term at least...It would help a few games...But he would still be Fitz...He would still have his same limitations...No matter how happy the Fitz backers are that the Defense has sucked 3 games this year...It's still an excuse that does not hold water...Fitz is still Fitz...defenses will still pack-in and dare him to go deep...He will still have a noodle-arm...He'll never be good enough because good NFL Teams that don't have great QB's, but have sound Defenses (ie...Cincy last year, Baltimore, San Fran, etc...)...even those teams have FAR better QB's than Fitz...Because they have better arms than Fitz...They can burn you deep...

Regardless of our ultra-terrible Defense...Between the SF game, and the NE game, Fitz missed no less than 6 passes that could have gone for TD's...At the very least they would have been VERY long gains...He kills you more with the plays he does not make...Other than that he's about average...I will say this for him...On all 6 of those plays he made the proper read and threw it to the right receiver...He just missed them...badly...Two resulting in INT's...He's smart...He reads Defenses well...He simply does not have the physical abilities throwing the ball accurately that the better NFL QB's do...That has killed him throughout his career...And that will continue to kill all of us in Buffalo... It's hard for me to imagine a scenario where The Bills do not take a QB in the 1st round of next years Draft...Of course this whole thing has not played out yet...And we have 11 games left...But the way it looks right now it HAS to be QB or bust in 2013...

Because mediocrity, or slightly above it in Buffalo is equal to Super Bowl caliber elsewhere...We're living on a prayer, and it ain't a Bon Jovi Hit Song either...

All I know at this point (or at least I'm pretty sure about) is that Geno Smith is going #1 overall...I know people had him lower coming in to the Season, but he's rising (as he should) the way RG3 did last year...I can't see how he is not the 1st Pick in 2013...There is no Andrew Luck to hold him off... Beyond that it's still WAY early...

Agreed...The change in Rookie wages has pushed QB's up the Draft Board...It's less of a financial risk now at the most important Position...If you want to wait until the 2nd Round you may be VERY unhappy with what is left over...

But he's never experienced anything like the NE loss...Right Chan?

You really think he could stick in NE, with Bill Belichick, if he was a head case? Some of the knock on (rumors about) Mallett before the Draft was also that he was a meth-addict...Don't believe everything you read...Mallett is no Fitz when it come to book learning...But he is the son of an old school Football Coach, and he LOVES Football...Mallett's biggest problem is always going to be his lack of foot quickness...Though that has certainly not hurt Brady in the Pats Offense...He's not a head case, nor is he a locker room problem...That crap is all over...

Excellent point...

Ummm....Not so much... http://wgr550.com/WH...plays-/14484839

Cool!

The All-22 Report Jeremy White just put up on wgr550.com is not for the faint-of-heart Bills Fan...Not anything we don't know already...But Fitz is leaving serious opportunities on the table week in and week out...Last week may have been the worse yet due to the 49ers all but daring The Bills to throw deep by not dropping their Safeties a ton...I've said it before...With Fitz it's just as much about the throws he misses...And those are not necessarily INT's...He just misses golden opportunities with poor throws WAY too often to be an NFL Starting QB...

This should help me a bit...Point blank...Dalton or Fitz? Who do you like?

Totally agree about Dalton...The OP is all but assuming Dalton is going to be average...The comment about Dalton's Passer rating being about the same as Fitz cracked me up...Does the OP understand Dalton was a Rookie in 2011, and his Passer rating is 92.9 this Season? Dalton has HUGE upside...I'd take him in a half-a-heartbeat...He's competitive, smart, and a winner (42-7 at TCU)...He's a gamer...It was a terrible miss by Nix Drafting Aaron Williams ahead of Dalton...That's the kind of Pick that has killed this Franchise for 10 years now... I know most Folks are going to assume Foles production in pre-season was all due to Andy Reed's Offense...And that still may be true...But I thought he was a pretty decent Prospect...In fact, it's interesting because the Foles Scouting reports I read reminded me a lot of Tom Brady's when he came out...And no I'm not saying Foles is the next Brady...I'm just saying...The Bills could have easily taken a flyer on Foles in the 3rd and Drafted TJ Graham in the 4th...I really don't care what anyone says...Graham was not going any sooner...I like Foles a lot more than Russell Wilson...5-10 5/8 is still 5-10 5/8, no matter how good Wilson looks at times...

From what I understand Ralph has a pretty big problem with talk that centers around the fact that he's going to die soon...I'm pretty sure he put the muzzle on Jimbo a couple years ago...I've even heard Kelly say specifically that Wilson does not like talk that assumes he has already passed...

Agreed...I realize everyone is looking for a silver-lining right now...But rest assured...There is is none...Not currently at least...

No info? Well...No details yes...But heck even Goodell is on record saying there is a plan in place that they have been working on for some time...It seems to me that, for whatever reason, Ralph is insistent on one thing...No one talks about it while he is alive...So no, we're not going to get the details of exactly what the plan is because Ralph does not want it out there...And we can assume anything we want...But I'm assuming we're all going to be surprised at how quickly it all becomes clear once...well you know what has to happen first...

So you think he's good enough? You really want to plant your flag on that one?

Exactly...
