Buffalo Bills Discussion

Bowen is a question mark that could be good if he adds a little bulk.

Besides, who are the possible new head coaches?

Cowher
Schottemheimer
Del Rio (If fired)
Steve Spagnola

I dont know, those are just possibilities. I want to get a guy has made a name for himself in the league before.

I think Cowher and Schotty are both going to fight for the Browns job

[SuperMcGee]

Schobel to IR. Very drawn out and predictable, but still sad.

But I just had a very random, exciting thought for next year:

Alvin Bowen.

Think he can fill our hole at OLB for next year?

[SuperMcGee]

No.
But I'm pretty sure he puts our coverage unit from our current #2 spot all the way up to #1.

What would you guys say the % is of Dick Jauron getting fired? Maybe a bit hasty since he's kept the Bills relatively competitive, but he's been a head coach for 8 years and has only made the playoffs once.

Jauron doesn't get fired, but Turk Schonert does

[Rob S]

[BufFan71]

i wouldnt say that much....the playcalling did not help, but that was all losman. In that situation u need to know a sack is fine. DJ was going for the kill, not needed and stupid imo, but he has a right to assume that his QB will at least know to protect the ball.

[BufFan71]

at some point Losman has to realize there is going to be backside pursuit, and he either needs to try and run, or throw it away
anything but fumble the ball and lose us the game



on the bright side, did anyone else see Adam Sandler in the stands?

Are you sure that was not JP in the stands, and Adam Sandler on the field? Because whoever played quarterback for us today looked extremely pedestrian...

;)

[TheBuffaloBills]

Man, I wonder whats going to happen to Duke Preston? The ref had some severe turf burn on his face. His nose skid the turf for a good yard.

[ruthlessrussian]

0-5 in the division so far..

im seriously sick

[CC.SD]

Goooooooo Bills!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, hope Marshawn does some legit stat-padding against the Denver D this week, if you guys stick it to Denver and the Chargers somehow get a win against Tampa Bay, week 17 is a winner take all in the AFC West with Denver at SD.

Fight on! Please?

Its funny because working in San Diego I've had at least 4 phone calls and like 10 people ask me in person if the Bills will beat Denver next week.

and how do you respond? :D

Everyone in SD loves the Bills this week. I don't think seeing them get a win is really impossible; Denver's D-line is not good, so teams can run and QBs can get pockets. That's the kind of scenario that the phrase "Any Given Sunday" was made for.

Oh well. Crossing my fingers for you guys...and of course for the Bolts to knock off TB. Pretty crazy that we can go from 4-8 to alive in week 16.

Completed Trades:

Philadelphia Eagles get:

OT Jason Peters

Buffalo Bills get:

1st Round Pick (17th ovr)

Peters has not been playing up to his Pro Bowl standards this year, and it is no secret that he wanted out of Western New York

--------------------------------------------

Buffalo Bills get:

1st Round Pick (14 ovr)
DE Mark Anderson

Chicago Bears get:

1st Round Pick (12 ovr)

By trading down two spots, we also fulfilled a need for a DE. In Aaron Schobel's absence, we truly lacked a solid pass rusher, a role that will now belong to Anderson.

-----------------------------------------------

Buffalo Bills get:

G Charlie Johnson
5th Round Pick

Indianapolis Colts get:

DT John McCargo

McCargo has been a true bust since we drafted him with the 26th overall pick in 2006. For him we get Charlie Johnson, a very versatile lineman from the Colts, who we believe has the potential to be a solid starter

-------------------------------------------------

Buffalo Bills get:

1st Round Pick (31 ovr)
2nd Round Pick (46 ovr)

New York Giants get:

1st Round Pick (14 ovr)

By trading down, we got more picks to satisfy our needs. We already had the 17th overall selection as well, so we managed to still have two first round picks and now two second round picks.

---------------------------------------------

DRAFT

1a) Eben Britton, OT, Arizona



1b) James Laurinaitis, LB, Ohio State



2a) Mike Mickens, CB, Cincinnati



2b) Chase Coffman, TE, Missouri



3) Edwin Williams, C, Maryland



__________________________________________________ ____

How we'd finish it:

4) Kraig Urbik, G, Wisconsin



5a) Pat White, WR, West Virginia



5b) Brian Toal, OLB, Boston College



6) Al Afalava, S, Oregon State



7) Dan Gronkowski, TE, Maryland

[SuperMcGee]

Needs Drew Willy.

Really like McCargo trade, Johnson and a 5th is great return.

Dig the TE picks. Williams and Pat White are nice.

Anderson has gotten a lot less effective since entering the league, but it's a good mock. Between him and Ellis, someone would have to provide a spark. Hopefully.

Sorry Bills fans, no disrespect, but I must request you lose on Sunday. Or I will ban you.

CC, I probably have a better chance of winning the mega millions than I do being banned.

And no, this does not mean that you can ban me if the Bills somehow go against all odds and win. ;)

[TheBuffaloBills]

Knowing the Bills, we will probably win the last 2 meaningless games.

[SuperMcGee]

I don't know, we tend to always lose at the end of the year.
We're definitely not going to beat the Patriots, that's just obvious. I'm positive that a feel-good win is impossible after the Jets game. And it's the Patriots. We'll probably find a way to beat Denver, just because the Jauron Bills have 7-9 written all over them.
