Q&A with a Texans blogger
http://www.buffalowins.com/buffalo-b...on-texans.html
1) If you were the opposing offensive/defensive coordinator, how would you attack the Texans?
Defensively, the Texans display a real weakness in stopping the run in dime situations as teams have exposed them on the ground in those situations. Against the Baltimore Ravens, the Texans adjusted their dime package for the first time the entire season with Bradie James and Brooks Reed in the middle. It will be interesting to see what Wade Phillips is going to do when the Bills spread it out. If the Bills can get the Texans defense into their dime personnel, I would expect Spiller and Jackson to have decent days.

Adrian Peterson gets more carries because he is a feature back, Spiller is not. JMO
I didn't say Spiller should get 20+, even though I think he should really close to that, I said between Spiller and Jackson they should be getting around 30, right now they are averaging 10 a piece, take away the 4 carry game Spiller had when he got hurt and he is averaging 11 carries. The Arizona game is the only game where they has 28 carries between the 2 of them, the next highest was 21 against N.E. and Tenn. The Bills may be averaging 28 per game, but between Jackson and Spiller they are averaging 20, give the ball to the playmakers. The Tenn. game was a perfect example where they should of used them more, they both were running hard and could of ate up more clock and also avoided a costly int. near the end of the game.

Finding some good in the season:
Its half over?
Do we have issues with rich athletes more than other cities?

"Remember how much we *****ed about hearing about Tebow or T.O. on ESPN? Media and fans alike were displeased with the endless coverage of those guys. It was just too much. Now we are getting that with Mario Williams. He has become Buffalo's version of T.O., but in a smaller fish bowl. It is becoming tabloid journalism or something straight out of US Weekly. The dissection of his every word is just ridiculous and we aren't even halfway through the season. Again, I don't mind the criticism about his play, but too much of the criticism is about what he's doing/saying off the field instead of playing on it."

They would be if he paid child support.
Re: Do we have issues with rich athletes more than other cities?
in buffalo, if you don't like the media response to you, you don't buy that one paper. you don't hear about it. in nyc, there are 4 local sports tv networks. think of that. 4 empire sports if you will. there are multiple papers. and each tries to be louder and more in the know than the other. so it's vicious here. mark sanchez lost his job the second they signed tebow.
in buffalo we are still trying to convince the know-nothings that they have the wrong guy for the job.

Two pieces from today's ****show
http://www.buffalowins.com/buffalo-b...ecap-21-9.html
Wanna know something groundbreaking today that no one will probably pick up on? 18 months ago, the Texans were exactly where the Bills are today. They were a team that had gone 8 years without making the playoffs. For a good 5-6 year stretch, they seemed to constantly finish at 7-9 just like we have. Did they have to bottom out to become a playoff team like some always say the Bills should do? Nope.

This isn't an isolated incident, kids. In Gailey's 38 games as head coach here, the Bills have passed the ball more in 30 of those games. During those games, the Bills averaged 12 more passes than runs. Guess what their record is when they run the ball more than pass it? 6-2. When the opposite happens, they are 7-25.
Re: Two pieces from today's ****show
I hate Chan Gailey. I wish the Bills were smart enough to fire him at the end of last season.

A competant complete statement, you've been drinking & getting grammatical help from one of your 8 kids obviously.
Re: Two pieces from today's ****show
The Texans were an expansion team. Of course they had a long playoff drought. We're comparing a new team starting from the ground to one with a storied franchise that has been to the Super Bowl 4 times.
Re: Two pieces from today's ****show
I wouldn't even wait till the end of the season. Fire him, Wanny and Nix if we lose next week and make a statement that nobody's job is safe and everyone is being evaluated for the rest of the season.
5 reasons why the Bills wont fire Gailey
http://www.buffalowins.com/buffalo-b...re-gailey.html
this is a contrarian piece. A piece the Bills PR people will remember verbatim when they trot out Chan Gailey in January after finishing 6-10 and declaring his job is safe. I assure you, if the Bills finish 6-10, Gailey should be given his walking papers. I pretty much rolled my eyes last week when Buddy said he wasn't going to fire Gailey. I started to then gouge my eyes out when he spoke about how a new coach would want his own players, which would mean we'd take 10 steps back.

Re: 5 reasons why the Bills wont fire Gailey
I disagree on every reason except for Ralph being old.
Re: 5 reasons why the Bills wont fire Gailey
remember that a new coach is going to want his own players, because with exception of a handful of starters on this team no coach would want 80% or so of our roster.
