Rex is a smart guy. I'd like to think he learned from his mistakes with the Jets. We did our homework and interviewed 12 candidates. Rex Ryan was our guy.

In your opinion does Buffalo do anything bad?

Of course. But I always believe in my team. I have their backs 100% of the time.

Clearly! I just hope you don't fly off the rails one of these days, and barricade yourself in a tower with a high power rifle!
After, basically, 14 years of subpar play, you gotta blow off some steam. Now is your chance!

So here's the question: Buffalo Bills 2015 over/under 9 wins?

Over. Bet the house on it.

You are a loyal fan. There's no doubt about that.

It's just how I'm wired. Loyal to the end. (In all aspects of life)

I am as well, but I do know when to call a turd, a turd...and after a decade of my Eagles/Flyers/Phillies, all, being very good, I think the window has slammed on all of them. It's going to be a long 1-2 years just to shed all the bad contracts!
So I take the good with the bad. Still a fan, always will be, but just know when to temper expectations.

Chip Kelly has your team headed in the right direction but you need to find a QB to properly run your 20 seconds between plays offense. It doesn't appear to be Nick Foles or Mark Sanchez.

If I were the Eagles, I would go all in to get Chancellor. He's going to want a major deal, but he is a once in a generation safety.

You can't sell the farm for a safety, let someone else do it. You can only overpay for a safety if the rest of your defense is already in place. The Iggles would be better off spending that $ on some corners or a QB.

We'll see.
Nick Foles was 6-2 before he got injured. While his stats were not gaudy, he got the wins, and did it behind a makeshit O-line, virtually no running game and the worst(at that time) pass defense in the league.
Both of those losses came against San Fran and Arizona, both times with Philly having the ball, in the RZ, during the final minute to win.
So yeah, the jury is out. That Foles injury really was devasting, not just for this season, but in needing those final 8 games to see what we have.
Odds are the keep a salary friendly Foles, hope he plays all 16 next season and address the High School level talent we have for DBs(minus Malcom Jenkins).
That's why I keep saying Chip Kelly should be in the running for Coach of the Year. He did a fantastic "smoke & mirrors" job this season with all the injuries this team had, and the lack of defense, knowingly, coming into the season.

But hey, it's nice having no pressure. I can just sit back and watch other teams duke it out.

Chancellor is a special talent.

I don't know, I always find it very hard to care about the play-offs if my team is out, although it is nice watching teams you hate choke and get sent home.

They would have the cap space to do it. I have not bought an Eagles jersey since McNabb in '04...but I would buy a Chancellor jersey on the day he signed!

No true football fan can look at it that way. This is the greatest sport on Earth, and there is nothing better than playoff football.

As far as football goes, my caring is 95% for the Cowboys and 5% for fantasy football. That's just the way I am.

Haha I might be the other way around, as I know each season I have a better chance at winning my league than the Eagles do!

The game I've been looking forward to the most, Rodgers vs Romo here we go
