Stick a fork in the Bills, they're done for the year!!

Buffalo Rumblings posted a good column on 3 changes to the Bills should make. http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2011/11/14/2560496/buffalo-bills-cj-spiller-alex-carrington-justin-rogers#storyjump Here's my suggestions: Bench Donald Jones and keep him on Special Teams. Resign Kamar Aiken and give him a shot with the starters. Use Spiller in the same capacity that Parrish was used last year, in the slot. Line up both Spiller & Jackson in the backfield Try some reverses. Get Brad Smith involved more in the game. Go back to the 4-3 defense Use Dareus as a full-time DT, with Spencer Johnson/Dwan Edwards/Troup & Heard rotating in at DT. Use Kelsay (when healthy) Moats, Batten and Carrington as DE’s. Moats & Batten are former 4-3 DE’s, so why not give them reps at DE. Your suggestions...

I still don't understand why the Bills cut Kamar Aiken over Donald "Hands of Stone" Jones.

I agree 100% Aiken looked very good in preseason & I don't know why Jones continues to be out on the field? I hope Easley will be okay. Even if his career is over with, I hope he can still have a normal life with his heart condition.

Edwards needs to go & I hope the Donald Jones experiment is over with!!

I said it during the week & I'll say it again, the Bills offense got exposed...again. Teams know what we're gonna do on offense. When is the Donald Jones experiment going to end? I can't believe I wasted an afternoon watching this team today. This was an absolute embarrassment!!!!!

The Bills have a lot of holes still that need to be filled.

This game is much worse than last weeks game vs the Jets.

Labatt Blue is not enough to get me through this misery.

I don't know why I'm putting myself through this torture.

Damn!!! Wood is injured!! This game keeps going from bad to worse!

Please bench Jones for the rest of the year!!!

OMG...the defense forced a punt?

Jesus Christ...how many !@#$ing times are they gonna go to Jones on 3rd & 4th down & he drops the ball!!!

George Edwards needs to be fired!!! Sanchez & Romo look like Brady & Montana when they play against our defense.

Sorry, I meant to say two sub-par teams (Rams & Seahawks) battled it out for a playoff spot. A lot of the years this past decade, we've seen teams from the NFC with weak records make it into the playoffs, while there have been teams in the AFC that went 11-5 & 10-6 and have missed the playoffs.

I spent 8 years in the Marines (1996-2000, 2002-2007) and was proud to serve our country. I would like to thank all the vets for their service, those that are currently serving and especially to those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice. Semper Fi!!

Bills remaining schedule: 11/13 @ Dallas Cowboys 1:00 pm - Winnable 11/20 @ Miami Dolphins 1:00 pm - Winnable 11/27 @ New York Jets 1:00 pm - After this past sunday's game, I'm going with a Loss here 12/04 Tennessee Titans 1:00 pm - Winnable 12/11 @ San Diego Chargers 4:15 pm - Winnable 12/18 Miami Dolphins 1:00 pm - Winnable 12/24 Denver Broncos 1:00 pm - Winnable 1/01 @ New England Patriots 1:00 pm - Depends if the AFC East is on the line. It's a winnable game, but I would have to go with the Pats since the game is in Foxboro, plus the Pats play better against the Bills in the 2nd meeting of the year. IMO, the Bills could go 6-2 in the 2nd half of the season. I'll say it again: "Could go 6-2", it doesn't mean I'm expecting it to happen. 6-2 would put the Bills at 11-5. IMO, I wouldn't doubt to see some 10-6 teams this year miss the playoffs, because the AFC is very competitive. Too bad the Bills didn't play in the NFC, the Bills would have been division champs or made it in as a wild card a bunch of times this past decade. Seeing the Seahawks & Rams in the playoffs last year with their lousy records was a joke.

I'm disappointed with how Smith are Spiller are being used. I know Fred Jackson is having an MVP type year, but with Spiller's talent & speed, I don't know why he's not used much more. I would like to see Spiller & D. Nelson split time at the slot WR position and give Nelson reps as a #2 WR. Donald Jones drops about 98% of the passes thrown to him on the sidelines, so why not try those passes to Nelson?

Never said they were frauds, just said their weaknesses got exposed, big difference!! IMO, I really like the direction Nix & Gailey have the team pointed in, but they still have some work to do. Nix & Gailey have built the Bills up quicker than anyone expected, but they still have holes on the team. Like others have said about Donald Jones, how times are you going to throw the ball to him on 3rd & short and he misses 98% of the time? That's ridiculous!! The play doesn't work, but yet they still try forcing it multiple times a game?! Spiller showed last year that he's capable of catching deep passes, I'd rather see the Bills try those passes to Spiller instead. The 4th & inches play was absolutely terrible!! Dick Jauron did the exact same thing against the Pats 5 years ago with a long drawn up run play and it failed miserably. QB sneak should have been the first option, 2nd option should have been a fake QB sneak into a short pass play. The best fake QB sneak attempt I've seen the Bills use was when Mularkey had Bledsoe pretend to go for the QB sneak, then threw it back to McGahee and he ran it in 33 yards for a TD. I like Gailey's creativity so far, but that 4th & inches play was the worst possible call he's made so far this year.

I give credit to Nix & Gailey, they put a patchwork O-line together and they're making it work. In regards to my post, you build your team to win your division. Right now, the Bills are not built up enough to beat the Jets. If the Pats had even a half-way decent defense, to go along with their offense, the Bills would have lost that game. I'm not trying to be doom & gloom here, the Bills are doing much better than people anticipated, but the Bills still have work to do on both sides of the ball.

I mentioned a Vincent Jackson type WR, that is tall around 6'4"-6'5", speedy, catch passes on the hash marks near the sidelines and can be that deep threat (guess you could mention a Plaxico Burress type WR as well). I like Johnson & Nelson, but they need help. I like Chandler as well, but IMO he's more of a backup than a starter. To compete with the 3 top CB's of the Jets, the Bills multiple need offensive weapons like the Pats have. A #2 WR to compliment Johnson & Nelson and a pass catching TE that can grab 4-8 passes a game, plus be able to stretch the field & grab passes down the middle of the field. Anyways, how have you been? I haven't from you in a while. I was hoping Easley would have panned out, but that didn't happen. I have never been high on Donald Jones and don't know what the coaches see in him? I think Jones makes a good S.T. player, but not a #2 WR.

All good points. The Bills are getting closer, but still have a ways to go.

Yesterday, the Jets trio of Darrelle Revis, Antonio Cromartie, and Kyle Wilson, made it very tough for Fitz to throw to his receivers. For the most part S. Johnson (besides the 2 great catches he made) was contained for most of the day. Donald Jones had no impact whatsoever. I know this is Jones' first week back from injury, but I haven't been impressed with him and don't see what the coaches see in him. While I like Scott Chandler, IMO he is a backup TE playing as a starter. You're suppose to build a team to win the division. If Nix & Gailey want to win the AFC East and beat the Jets & Patriots on a consistent basis, then they need to do some upgrading. On offense, the Bills need a true #2 WR, someone in the build of Vincent Jackson, that is tall, fast and can beat DB's on the outside. Also, the Bills need a pass catching TE that can catch more than 4 passes a game and can stretch the field down the middle. I know the Bills FO was hoping Shawn Nelson was that guy, but Nelson couldn't stay healthy, got suspended and couldn't produce consistently. On Defense, the Bills need OLB's that can consistently put pressure on the QB. The Bills are getting closer to being a real contender, but they still have work ahead of them.

While I like Eric Wood a lot, I have to say Andy Levitre is our best O-lineman.
