    Claytons Grades...

    Buffalo Bills: Grade: C
    First-year coach Chan Gailey got the most out of his roster, including 23 touchdowns and 3,000 passing yards from Ryan Fitzpatrick, but the Bills didn't have the personnel to make the adjustment to a 3-4 defense and paid the price.

    Clayton is a tool. He kept going about how the bills will be the first one to pick in the upcoming draft. Blah,blah ,blah. The bills surpassed his expectations and he should eat his crow.

    Sounds like the media even knows the Bills need major help on defense.

    I think he's spot on. Gailey got a reasonable amount of production out of a bad roster. But you don't give an A to a guy with a 4-12 record.
    Wake up, brush your teeth, and get ready for a day of hating the Dolphins. Or the Pats? How to choose?

    He wiffed because even after the team started to be competitive & were playing better football than the Seahawks but losing to better teams than the Seahawks were playing he continued to say how awful the Bills were while propping up the Hawks. The Bills would have finished ahead of them if they were in the AFC East.

    We beat his expectations by having the 2nd worst record in the league. We really showed him. I wonder if he wants ketchup with it.

    I haven't paid attention to John Clayton for a few years now.

    He used to have the in's until Adam Schefter came around. Now Clayton is nothing but a speculating tool like all the rest of them.

    I don't like Clayton, but his grade was pretty fair, especially for a 4-12 team. Both the other 4-win teams got F's.

    Its not that. I don't have a problem with his grade. He started with a prediction of 2-14 and as the season went along he went on to say we're most likely to go 0-16 and can't beat anyone.

    The Bills would be division winners in the NFC West.
