Búfalo Blanco

I agree with this... Buffalo courted Cowher for weeks and he had no interest, but recommended Gailey. Shanahan had what..? An 8-10 hour interview with the Bills and said no thanks. Gruden would stay in the booth before he takes on a massive challenge like Buffalo. The only real shot the Bills organization has at hitting a home run with a head coach is going after a top NFL assistant or coordinator or possibly a good college HC. Though, as /dev/null says, they'd have to actually accept the job which is no guarantee. In my opinion, the best way is to take a chance on an NFL assistant... and hope they accept the offer. Buffalo had this chance in the past with guys like John Fox, Marvin Lewis, Leslie Frazier, etc. But of course, they didn't end up here... What a surprise.

Just give it to him...

Nope... Trick play... successful....

Hard to do that when the refs don't give you the correct calls.... Just ask Green Bay...

This team can't catch a damn break.... Even the refs are screwing them....

That was not a 1st down.... I agree... Total BS!

The best option for this regime is to draft one if not two QBs... Perhaps they could bring in a veteran to compete in training camp and be a viable backup, but this franchise desperately needs to draft and develop a QB. A large majority of Super Bowl winners during the free agency era have used this philosophy.

I'm on the campaign trail!!! All hail Dictator Webster Guy!!!

Can I take Ralph's job....?

Though I should be crying, cause this could be closer to the truth than any other speculation... I agree with you, SJBF... I like a majority of the draft/FA personnel Nix has brought in... I was never sold on Gailey, though I like his offensive schemes... If he'd just run the damn ball when he needs to, which he tends to do at times and other times when its obvious, he doesn't. Probably should've been our OC... Why this team will not hire a young up and coming assistant or coordinator is beyond me... I know that didn't seem to work for Donahoe, but to me that's the best shot Buffalo has at getting a great coach. Guys like Cowher and Shanahan refused to come in, even after weeks of courting them. I agree with several others that Gailey likely gets one more year. What's more puzzling to me is why Nix has not drafted or signed a legitimate contender for QB... That could save everyone's job. Doesn't have to be a 1st round top 10 guy (though that would be nice), but they won't even draft a kid in the 3rd or 4th that could compete or at least turn into a solid backup... Amazing...

Easy.... Mr. Invisible got paid $100 million and disappeared...

When we sweep the Pats and Dolphins and get a home win against the Jets Week 17.

The Bills need to respond here.. and I believe they'll be motivated after getting hammered all week by fans and the press. They need this one and they know it. Next week is in Cleveland... Granted they won't have Haden which helps, but that defense looks like it will cause some havoc. Cleveland will not be a gimme. Either way, the KC and Cleveland games are pivotal, because then the Bills get New England... And if that's not enough, two straight road games on the west coast, the 49ers and Cardinals. These next two games have to be wins or else...

Peyton had his choice of playoff-calibur teams to go to along with several other teams falling all over themselves to just get him to visit.... Why would he choose Buffalo when Denver and the 49ers came calling?

I enjoy reading your thoughts on the game each week, Bill. However, like many others, I disagree with you on Spiller. That kid is a game changer if given enough opportunities. Looks like he'll get them for the time being. I agree with you on all other points... Obviously, Fitz will continue to start for now as there aren't many other options... Though T. Jackson is looking more and more tempting IMO, depending on his learning curve with the scheme. This team desperately needs a franchise QB.

Props to you kabnt2005... Like everyone here, I've been curious about this signing for several days and had hoped your prediction was legitimate.. Good call! If nothing else, this is insurance in case Fitzpatrick goes down.. and an interesting wildcat option. Hopefully, VY's issues are behind him. As far as a QB controversy, nothing surprises me in the NFL. Its certainly possible if Fitz struggles at one point or another. The media will certainly bring up the issue if given an excuse as will some fans. I believe Gailey will play it smart... Fitz is his guy, so unless he struggles badly during the season, I doubt Young takes the spot.

I'm soooo far ahead of you fools with my LaserDisc collection!

Darn tootin'... Iggits even.... They ain't the sharpest knives in... Wait, WHAT!?!

Wow! A PAC-12 player..?!?! Did Nix leave the room..?

Believe me, I've got buddies who have stubbornly debated with me for years about the "SEC is the best conference" argument.

38 consecutive starts I believe... Leader.. Had some shoulder problems, but if he started that many games the guy is tough no doubt.. Great special teamer as well, apparently.

And he played both tackle spots there... Mayock gave some very positive analysis on him.

LSU HC Les Miles giving some great analysis on this guy on NFL Network... They all really like the pick.
