For those living in reality:

What do we need to do to give us the best chances of winning next season?

I see a bunch of issues that unchanged, will kill next year before it begins. Just curious what your thoughts are.

[LtBillsFan66]

We need a killer D end.
A solid d tackle.
An upgrade at both strong and free safety.
An upgrade at middle linebacker and a replacement for Eddie Robinson.

[WG]

What about coaching changes?

DT
LDE
WLB....Eddie Robinson just ain't cutting it.

Gilbride is pass-happy. I'm not saying he needs to go, but I will say that if Henry gets the same 17 carries per game average that he's getting now, it's gonna cost us next year too.

So how do we deal with that? In all of his career, Gilbride's been pass-happy even when his QBs have stunk.

I heard Grant Irons will be a free agent and I also heard he will be good in a couple of years.

[LtBillsFan66]

I agree. Coaching changes too.

[WG]

BTW, I talked to my Titans bud who told me that Robinson was already not playing very well last year.

Again, I really don't want to see another Titan or Steeler this offseason. As soon as the first one comes in, Donahoe should fire himself or GW.

Fire Donahoe?

DT
2 DEs
WLB
K (until Hollis proves he can kick in cold weather)
DC, HC

I have nothing against guys from the Titans or the Steelers. The thing about those two teams is that they are both "jam you in the mouth" type, blue collar power running offense. We don't have that kind of personnel to pull that off this year. If you're looking for free agents, look from similar type of teams like the Rams, Raiders, or San Fran.

Wys who are you kidding. You don't care what we think.

Ralph is mad. This is a good sign.

[BillsMan80]

We need to worry about winning the rest of this year. We need to worry about what it will take to get to the playoffs this year. Don't Kid yourself, we have a chance.

You're the one kidding yourself 80. Not me.

EE,

"Ralph is mad. This is a good sign."

Indeed! I fully agree.

Prediction: The coaching is going to continue to be on the hotseat as the rest of the season draws to a close and heads will be called for. We simply cannot approach games the way we did vs. the Texans, Phins, Pats, Lions, Bears and expect no criticism of the coaching.

And for all of you optimists, we could very easily have been 2-7 right now. VERY easily w/ squeakers over just about every team that we've played. Who all suck by the way!

[WG]

EE,

I do care. I would really like the fans and media to start asking the tough questions like why is Henry under utilized???

Where's the criticism? As I see it all many do is make excuses as to why running him in 6 games wasn't possible. Yeah, sure...
