    Thank you Pittsburgh and Cincy for making our last four games meaningless

Because that's what is gonna be available to us. Or we'll take a 2nd round pick and try to make Bray the franchise guy. I don't think any of that is the answer at QB and I'm sure you don't either. So there we are still stuck with crap behind center, Vick would sell some jerseys at least if that counts.

    Then we have our defensive woes where we have at least 4 spots to address. LB, S, CB.

    And oh we need some WRs for whatever craptastic QB we have to throw the ball to.

    Oh then we have a Guard who we must resign, a RT who's a liability and a C who's made of glass.

    It's not all coaching that's the problem, sure it's a big problem, but so is the lack of a top flight QB and playmakers besides CJ and Byrd. Oh yeah, we need to resign or tag him too.

    A top flight QB would hide a lot of the flaws without question, we're simply not in a position where any will be available to us however.
    Our RT isn't a liability. Hairston is developing but has had a bad run lately. I'd like to add another prospect to the mix but it's not like he hasn't show he can play.

    S is not a major need. Resign Byrd and we are OK. Wilson is not great but he hasn't really shown up as a liability either. If anything I'd rather upgrade Bryan Scott with a LB'er that also can start in the standard 4-3 set.

    Another young WR is a need. But, as with any draft there are guys throughout the draft that may help. And David Nelson will be back. I think we missed him this year and he would have really added to our offense.

    Wood gets injured I agree and I'd be a fan of adding a vet to back him up.

    CB will be interesting. I'd like to see a vet added and McGee sent out to pasture. I wouldn't mind resigning Leodis who has played OK in spot duty but has been good in returns. But after that I'm not sure I want another rookie. Williams at the very least can become a backup FS and will add depth to our Nickel. Brooks looked horrible today but is a rookie and was at least in position many times today. Rogers is also developing and Gilmore is a given. There's too much youth there and I'd rather add a vet.

    But the issue here is that canning Gailey has nothing to do with any of the above. If anything canning him may mean all new schemes where many players aren't fits and need to be let go. I'd rather not do that.

    God I hate the Steelers with an undying passion.

    Beat Tennessee and Indy, and we're right. There.

    Got better things to do on Sunday's now.
    Bye Bye Brady...

    For all intents and purposes, we were done when we lost to Tenn.

    And of course we're not mathematically eliminated yet. We can still get to 9 wins. Cincy and Pitts only have 7. Even the crappy Cleveland Browns aren't mathematically eliminated yet.

    You'll see 5-7 Buffalo in the standings but it's more symbolic then realistic.

    No, if we had beaten Indy we'd actually be in a decent position.

    And of course we're not mathematically eliminated yet. We can still get to 9 wins. Cincy and Pitts only have 7. Even the crappy Cleveland Browns aren't mathematically eliminated yet.
    Ok. So they'd have to lose all their games except for the one they play against each other then. We don't have tiebreakers on either I'm assuming.

    The season wasnt even halfway done when that games was played. It was when the Bills lost to the Colts

    Here to point out the obvious....

    When you're a mediocre team playing an overall weak schedule, when you lose to teams you should beat...you're done.

    This team isn't good enough to throw games away.

    Well we can theoretically go 8-8 and theoretically one of either the Bengals or Steelers go 8-8 as well!

    Dunno if we hold tie breakers however.
