The unfortunate truth is 2015 is a tank season, 2016 we start rebuilding. 17 years AFTER making the playoffs last.
- Buffalo-Sabres

I do not think they are in rebuild mode with the d

qb
te
o line
rb
db depth


those are the glaring needs IMO and if you get a 10% upgrade from your qb play, the team is a playoff team, with a different coach of course

I thought that as soon as I saw the play .
- Maximum Signal

between that, the check downs, the bad picks

time to turn the page at qb


and what coach punts when your 4th and medium length down 2 td's to the broncos in the 4th quarter?


and that 4th down in the first quarter, when he went for it down 7, a 55 yard field goal attempt in denver is a 50 yarder at the ralph, with no wind in denver yesterday


pathetic

With no first next year, all than can do is roll the dice on a later round pick with a QB. Its not the worst idea because I think some of the better pro style QB's aren't even on the most popular teams in the country. But we need a management team that cares about football and not playing politics.

Cut Orton, sign someone like Sanchez or get Foles or even take a flier on Bradford.

Draft a QB in round 2-3, go into camp with 3 possible starters. Let them battle it out

- sbroads24



IMO sign Bradford and someone else.

common ground


I am not sure with bradford, but I like the flier option
locker
gabbert
flynn
mallet
clausen


one of those need to be brought in with a sanchez type and draft a qb

get 4 in here that could be an option if they turn the corner, cut them if there is no upside after a few weeks

- homiedclown

All those QB's you mentioned stink IMO, just stick with EJ..... not that he's any better.

"One interesting name to watch is Chargers offensive coordinator Frank Reich, who has done impressive work with Philip Rivers and can command a room. Reich, a former Bills quarterback, could be the perfect fit in Buffalo to continue the feel-good vibes generated with the Pegulas taking over and keeping the team in town. “Frank Reich in Buffalo is a can’t-miss,” a league source said."

Rivers was already a good QB, we don't need Reich.

I missed the Panthers game, but is Hodgson starting to wake up a bit after his goal in the shootout the other day?

Obviously the whole team sucked vs. Tampa, but he at least produced vs the Panthers

IMO he nor Gruden have any want to come back.


They make the same money and have less pressure.

Not unless he has FULL CONTROL, you know that. I doubt he will coach again.

They mentioned on the broadcast of the Pats game last night that one of their coordinators (whoever it was that coached Denver for a year or two) is probably going to get a job soon as coach again. Perhaps Pegula goes to his good buddy Kraft and asks to speak with the guy?

I'd give it to him

what has whaley done?
screwed up the qb situation
never really fixed the o line
hired a bum for a coach
gave up 2 first rd picks for watkins

I am not against making the move for watkins, but when you do that, you need a legit qb, which it looks like we do not have

honestly, if we had fitz for last season and this season, I bet we would be better then we are now, esp when you factor in the first rd player they would have drafted last season

I wouldn't mind him or Gruden but I have a feeling he keeps Marrone like he did Lindy and Darcy.
