Oh I'm still excited. If the Bills can beat the Raiders and then find a way to go into NE and beat them it'll be their best record since 1999. Playoffs or not, that's enough to keep me happy until next season.
I'm honestly just happy to be talking playoff scenarios in December. We're usually already mathematically eliminated by now.

Plus Mike Greenberg just said on ESPN that he thinks the Bills have the overall best defense in the league over Seattle. Not sure I'd go quite that far, but that alone is enough to keep my fire fueled.

the worst part of this game is hearing jon gruden announce he'll be doing monday night games until 2021. sometimes i wish he would just go bucket coaching so i don't have to hear him speak that fucking much.
the bears look like shit. and that's coming from me, queen of the tire fire.

Yeah i honestly miss the days of madden and Al Michaels. I almost like sunday night better, with michaels and collinsworth.
Still looking forward to next monday though, broncos and bengals.
Now if the patriots would just lose.

If you guys had even average qb play the wild card would have been a lock. I was very impressed by the overall talent in all phases watching the game this weekend. What's the deal at qb are they moveing on from EJ Manuel for sure after the season? Might be a candidate to go after RG3 or Sanchez once they are available?

If the Bills pick up RG3, gm might have to start looking into laser tattoo removal
If I was the bills i would do whatever it takes to get Mariotta. That could mean possibly trading away a superstar defensive player
Just imagine what the Bills defense will be like next season when they get Kiko Alonso back

QB is literally the only thing holding this team back. Like crimson said, even with average QB play they'd make the playoffs.
There's a lot of discussion among Bills fans on what we're going to do at QB. They're still developing EJ Manuel in the wings but I doubt he'll be ready by next season. Orton has shown he's nothing more than a backup. RGIII will be available but most Bills fans don't want him. Too risky.
My pick would be Jay Cutler. His falling out with the Bears is public knowledge and they'll be looking to trade him at the end of the season. Even though he's been bad this season and he has a big contract we'd have to take on, I think he could play well enough here with the offensive weapons we have to get the Bills to the playoffs. Hell, we almost made it with Kyle freaking Orton.
Cutler will probably be available for something like a 2nd round pick and something small thrown in. That would mean the Bills would be without a 1st and 2nd round pick in the upcoming draft, but the team is so complete EXCEPT QB that they really don't even need those picks. If they could use even one of their remaining 4 picks to upgrade the offensive line and maybe TE, then get Cutler, I'll have no complaints about the roster. The defense is stellar. Special teams is stellar. Our running backs are solid(even though they haven't done much this season because of the Oline), and our WR corps is solid.

Cutler is horrible and he has Marshall, Jeffrey, Bennett, Forte
Not saying the bills don't have good offensive weapons... but damn Cutler has amazing weapons and he still can't get it done.
Not to mention Jay Cutler is the HIGHEST paid player in the entire NFL. lol how is that even possible?

Chicago has turned toxic for Cutler. It's no surprise he's doing terrible there this year. Lots of had blood between him and the Bears coaches and front office.
But he's a talented QB. He may just need a change of scenery. Look at Jerry Hughes. He didn't do jack shit for years and then he come to Buffalo and suddenly becomes one of, if not THE best outside speed pass rushers in the league.
I'm not a huge Cutler fan and his contract IS ridiculous, but he's better than anyone else that will be available and is definitely better than who the Bills have now. They can't afford to draft and develop a young QB. They won't be able to keep all these defensive players together forever and need to make a push for the playoffs NOW.

He does have an innate talent for being a loser. He also has great talent at being utterly devoid of charisma and leadership. He certainly has a wealth of talent for throwing interceptions. v

Seriously GM your off the mark with cutler. I was in rado when he played there and attended a few of his games. He is a loser, period.

Well he's top 10 in completion percentage and touchdowns this year among QBs, and that's head-and-shoulders better than anyone the Bills have.
They dont have a stat yet for percent loser. Cutler is not a winner and IMO you guys want nothing to do with him.

The other likely options available after this season are Ryan Mallet, Brian Hoyer, Jake Locker, RGIII, or Sam Bradford. The only other one I'd consider is Bradford.

i think there is something wrong with him. the bears got him after 'bad blood' between him and denver coaches. they even said the exact same things the bears people are saying. 'dysfunctional', 'bad attitude'. if this happens again, i'm going to assume that cutler is a little fucking brat who can't handle it.

He's a garbage time all star. I would rather have Hoyer than all those guys. At least he plays with heart and is consistent in his mediocrity.

Would you rather have Kyle Orton?
