Fitz was playing from 21 points behind extremely early in the game.

All 3 of Fitz’s picks came with the game already far out of reach. Maybe if Gailey attempted to run the ball early in the game with a guy averaging nearly 6 yards per carry, the Bills offense would have stood a chance at a come back, but on the Bills first offensive drive he called 3 pass plays (all 3 of which Fitz had serious pressure from Ware) that resulted in a 3 and out and an eventual 14-0 deficit.

Fred Jackson has been far away the best RB in the league this year, and he got 13 carries yesterday.

This is far from Fitzpatricks fault.

Stevie Johnson 7th rounder
Donald Jones, UDFA
David Nelson, UDFA
Ruvell Martin, cut earlier in year
Naaman Rooselvelt, UDFA and cut earlier in year

CJ Spiller, playing WR for the first time in his career after playing RB.

Chris Chandler TE, cut by San Diego, signed off of Dallas’ practice squad in the middle of the season last year.

Brad Smith QB and wildcat specialist, also some WR.

Not a lot of talent there. A lot of grit, determination, and heart, but short on talent.

Plus, if Fitz holds the ball for more than 2 seconds OT both get beat. Tough situation he is in.

Glad im a bigger sabres fan.

There sure was alot of yapping about how bad a player he was, can’t cover, only tackles 10-15 yards downfield, he is made of glass.

Maybe in the pro-bowl game he will play like you describe.

Chan, we are NOT Green Bay. Fitz is NOT Aaron Rodgers…so STOP calling plays like you have that offense.

I’m so beyond frustrated because he claimed in his post game press conference that he went away from the run too early in the Jets game. Well coach, ya did it again! WTF!?

44To7!!

The Bills aren’t contenders, but “Collapse” is too strong a term. This isn’t the ’08 or even the ’10 Bills. They’ve played with heart! They have huge issues with the D, and the O-line. They now have a smart, dependable QB and can afford to address those now.
Plus, as a Bills fan, it’s nice to not have to google who’s the starting QB or head coach every week. So, from Mularkey (let’s have a burger), to Jauron (Honey, come look is he breathing?), and through Rob Johnson to Capt. Checkdown. It’s nice to have some consistency!

He didn’t get Manning (both), Brady, Vick or 1st overall pick money – he got paid as a QB who plays as well as the top 10-12 QB’s in the league play.

For the money Fitz got to put consistency at the QB position and allow the Bills front office to address other needs, 6 yr./$59 million was more than fair and, as a diehard Bills fan, I don’t regret the contract at all.

Go Bills!

Mute point is mute…

moot, you idiot… m-o-o-t, moot

I would have never paid Fitzpatrick that much because he’s simply an above average, physically limited journeyman type at the end of the day, but it’s better than being saddled with the Kolb disaster deal.

Blaine Gabbert is a disaster, and while I think the reports were that the Bills liked Christian Ponder, who I still maintain will be the cream of this draft at the end of the day, taking him at 3 was way too high.

I haven’t watch as many games as you for sure, but I believe I’ve watched five this year; Cowboys game, Jets game, Giants game, Patriots game, and Raiders game. I can’t believe I’ve watched 5 Bills games this year. I’m sure more talent around him will help, and he’s done an awesome job for the most part this year, but I really don’t believe he’s got that elite level arm strength to make all the throws. Being very, very accurate can make up for a lot of it, but I haven’t seen him make some of the throws that a Rodgers or Brees or Brady makes where you just scratch your head and say not much anyone coulda done about that.

This is not the same team from ’08. I don’t expect them to tank the rest of the season. I believe they are going to be in the mix and have a decent chance to be a contender in the AFC. How far they go will be up to them. They have the talent, let’s see if they can make it all work together.

You must not watch alot of Bills games. Fitz’s arm may not be the strongest, but he puts plenty of zip on his throws. The problem is, when the ball isn’t lobbed to certain receivers, they tend to drop it. The lack of Talent on the outside is starting to show. Chandler, Nelson, and even Roosevelt have shown playmaking abilities and consistency, but Donald Jones by far was the worst decision of the coaching staff. Lee Evans may not have fought for catches and blah, blah, blah, but he caught catchable balls, and also was just good enough to make sure Stevie didn’t have 4 guys swarming to him every snap. Get Fitz a legitamate #2 and things will turn around in a hurry. Also, having Levitre at guard and a true LT at LT will make a huge diffrence in Pass Pro. as well.

Besides, QB play is pretty low on the list of things wrong with the Bills.

That’s weird, last time I checked they sold all home games so far… including the toronto game (5 total). They are on track to sellout December 4 against the Titans. Don’t place too much emphasis on not being able to sellout the late December games, even in their haydays in the 90′s Buffalo had trouble selling out December games in the snow.

“the two sides hammered out a six-year, $59 million deal”

ROFL

Between that and the Kolb deal, this season has produced many lulz.

That’s the going rate for a mid-tier QB. It’s less than the Chiefs gave Cassel (6 years, $63 million), and he’s absolutely terrible.
