The elephant in the room is the fact that they did not have a backup QB on the roster who could win games and continue their playoff quest in 2011, among other reasons. The fact that they were in a similar situation a year earlier during Jay Cutler's infamous... tony.anello@navistar.com (anello1960) NFL 2012-04-30T07:39:22-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bills/15127 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bills/15127 First I want to say I lost a dear friend “Big Mike” Patanella last August after his 9 month battle against cancer. Mike was a retired Buffalo Police Officer and was inducted into the Buffalo Public School’s Harvard Cup Hall of Fame in 2011 as a all-star defensive lineman for Grover back in 1970. The reason I mention Mike is that we became friends in the mid 70’s over our passion for Buffalo... jgoose22@cfl.rr.com (Goose) NFL 2012-04-25T12:15:20-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bills/15126 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bills/15126 Most NFL GM's and coaches like to use smokescreens on who their teams are looking at in the draft. But not Bills GM Buddy Nix. Since Nix took the job as Bills GM, he has been a straight shooter with the media, and the fans. His most recent example of being a straight shooter, was backing up his claims of impending aggression in free agency by handing Mario Williams the richest contract ever given... stevennbarker@yahoo.com (Steve B.)

The Bills and their loyal followers needed this signing as much if not more then when Polian signed Jim Kelly back in 1986. Obviously, having a franchise QB is a lot harder... jgoose22@cfl.rr.com (Goose) NFL 2012-03-19T11:17:28-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bills/15123 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bills/15123 In 2010, almost everyone scratched their heads when the Bills picked CJ Spiller in the first round, considering the enormous amount of holes on the team. But, was this pick ordered by Ralph Wilson? The article below states how Ralph feels the team need excitement: http://www.nationalf...r-panicked.html "The Denver Broncos gave up a lot to acquire former Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow, the much... stevennbarker@yahoo.com (Steve B.)

Hard to imagine that the Bills beat the super bowl runner up this year and had the winner dead to rights in a close game. The Patriots had an off year, appear thin at WR and played poor defense for most if the year. Most would agree that they are not the dominant team they once were. The Giants had a 4-game losing streak this season and finished with only 9 wins.... tony.anello@navistar.com (anello1960) NFL 2012-02-16T12:56:08-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bills/15121 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bills/15121 Why not? Now that the Colts have rid themselves of the Polian family, hired a new GM, fired coach Caldwell and have the #1 pick in all rounds of the up coming draft now seems like the time to cut the cord with Manning. All indications are the Colts won't pay Manning the $28 million he has coming due and the fact that QB Luck is the hottest QB prospect coming out- well since Manning it looks like... jgoose22@cfl.rr.com (Goose) NFL 2012-01-19T06:51:54-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bills/15120 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bills/15120 In 2010, Buddy Nix and Chan Gailey were banking on Aaron Schobel to transition from 4-3 DE to 3-4 OLB. Schobel mulled over retirement and couldn't make up his mind. But, at the beginning of August 2010, Buddy Nix had enough of Schobel's indecision and made up his own mind by releasing him. But, by releasing Schobel, the Bills had no one on the roster that could get a good, consistent pass rush.... stevennbarker@yahoo.com (Steve B.)

Needless to say, those Bucs were receiving yet another thrashing at the hands of their division foe, the Carolina Panthers. The Cam Newton led Panthers wasted no gift offered by the Bucs, in the form of four turnovers, and lighting up the scoreboard all afternoon. The final score was 48-16. In the last four games alone, the Bucs have... dantes_pain@yahoo.com (dantes_pain) NFL 2011-12-30T12:41:02-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bills/15117 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bills/15117 In the wake of talks from NFL experts stating that there are going to be changes made to the Bills front office in the offseason, does this mean that a possible succession plan won't happen in 2012 (or at all), or is the succession plan going to take place this offseason? Listed below is an article from October 2010, after John Wawrow talked with Bills owner, Ralph Wilson. Around the same time,... stevennbarker@yahoo.com (Steve B.)

Sunk in the harbor no doubt. Raheem Morris’ job is on the hot seat, the defense gives up the big plays, and the offense continues to turn over the ball at an alarming rate. The Bucs find themselves with a 4-10 record. Hardly the worst in team history, but it is safe to say there will be no parades, let alone jockeying for postseason positions. A chance... dantes_pain@yahoo.com (dantes_pain) NFL 2011-12-22T14:52:23-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bills/15114 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bills/15114 Last year after 8 games, the Bills were a miserable 0-8. This year after 8 games, they are 5-3. So, it's been a much better half of football so far. If the Bills repeat their stats from the 2nd half of last year (4-4), they'll be 9-7 this season and most likely miss the playoffs again. I wouldn't doubt to see some 10-6 teams from the AFC miss the playoffs this year. The Bills had 2 weeks to... stevennbarker@yahoo.com (Steve B.)

And the Bills are in position to cement their claim on the AFC East at the midway point IF they can beat the Jets in Orchard Park this Sunday. Did anyone (except maybe the players and coaches) think the Bills would be in this position at the start of the season? I didn't.

Amazing start for the Bills. I can honestly say I did not think they could be 4-2 by the bye week. What do they need to fix in the next two weeks? The D-line. I don't think a 3-4 alignment is the right formation for the personnel we have. The Bills can't pressure a QB or stop the run very well, again. I'd like to... kagerclan@aol.com (Kegman) NFL 2011-10-18T13:13:53-05:00
