You can thank Clemson for your running game, Buffalo. Now I might actually get to watch some Bills games in the bars down here.

From this article on Bleacher Report on the Bills quarterback situation:
This has got to be the ugliest crop of passers on one team that we have ever laid our eyes on.
In terms of confidence, leadership, arm strength, and moxie, the Bills would come dead-last in a quarterback power rankings list if one was written today.
Yeah, that sounds about right.
The Buffalo Bills 2010 schedule has been announced. Not to sound like a pessimist or anything, but I’m not seeing a lot of easy wins in there. 6-10 might be looking pretty good by the time the end of the season rolls around.
The Dolphins signed Karlos Dansby. The Jets signed Antonio Cromartie. The Pats locked down Tully Banta-Cain and Vince Wilfork.
The Bills interviewed a guard from the Chiefs, and signed a journeyman right offensive tackle from the Raiders. Woo-hoo.
Buffalo Bills Free Agency Fever! Catch It!
The Bills have announced that they won’t be bringing back Terrell Owens, surprising absolutely nobody. The real surprise is that they’re not even trying to bring back Josh Reed.
Personally, I’ve always liked Reed. He’s not a downfield threat, but he’s a solid number two or three guy and a hell of a blocker. He reminds me of a Hines Ward type.
Too bad he’s leaving. I guess we get to find out what we’ve really got in Hardy this year.
There’s a nice article in the News this morning about Drew Willy and Jamey Richard, two alums of the University at Buffalo who are now on the Colts’ Super Bowl roster. Apparently this is the first time anyone from UB has been in the Super Bowl — even riding the pine, like these two will be — since Super Bowl III, the famous Colts-Jets showdown.
It’s been fun watching UB the last couple of years, starting to grow into itself as a Division I football program. I imagine that James Starks and Naaman Roosevelt will be drafted this year, and the program’s reputation will just keep growing.
Who knows, maybe if the college programs around here get good enough we’ll get a professional team one of these days.
A fantastic profile of Tony Dungy has been posted on the ESPN web site. He’s the antithesis of the stereotypical football coach – polite, not vulgar, humble, not arrogant. He walked away from a team that’s got at least one or two more Super Bowls wins ahead of it to work with at-risk youth in the prisons and streets of his city. He gives me hope that some day the NFL might have more coaches that are both successful and decent human beings.
It seems like an unfortunately rare combination.
Apparently, Chan Gailey is now the leading candidate for the Bills head coaching position.
Shanahan signed with the Redskins. Cowher wasn’t interested. Neither was Jim Harbaugh. Or Russ Grimm. Or any other big name coaches.
Bobby April, Sean Kugler, and Perry Fewell are already gone. And our new head coach could be the guy who was fired as the offensive coordinator of the Chiefs — that true powerhouse of the Midwest — before this season ever started.
Nobody wants to work for this team. We’ve become Oakland East – a once-proud AFL franchise in disarray, with a crazy old owner who won’t keep his hands off of the organization.
So this morning, bereft of a win and any chance at a Superbowl ring in a few weeks, Dallas Cowboys and their legion homo erectus fans are squabbling and whining over the Vikings’ thorough trouncing of their miserable team. Specifically, the last-minute touchdown by Minnesota, propelling them to a convincing 34-3 victory over the hapless Dallasonians, has been the event of contention.
Bunch of sniveling little winey-babies. So let me get this right: Dallas runs up 50-plus points against Buffalo in a Superbowl, and that’s fine, but another team bests them by more than 3 touchdowns and that’s “Classless”, as one Cowboy put it? Puleeeze.
Football is a game, much like most games, played to win. When you’re winning, you are usually “in the zone”, have a good vibe, and will keep doing whatever it takes to win. You don’t shut down in the last 4 minutes because you have a comfortable lead. Hey, Dallas, here’s a thought- you didn’t want Minnesota to score that last touchdown? How about you get off your multi-million dollar collective asses and play DEFENSE?
Crybabies.
Well, it’s official. Bobby April is leaving.
A man who was special teams coach of the year for two of the last six years is being allowed to just walk away from the franchise. This is exactly the guy we should be hanging on to, especially as a team with few bright spots outside of the kicking game.
