Buffalo Bills Are Clear On Quarterback Pecking Order

Photo

While the Buffalo Bills were still in the process of recruiting free agent quarterback Vince Young, GM Buddy Nix made sure that he was on the same page with his starting quarterback, Ryan Fitzpatrick, about the potential move.

"Buddy caught me in the hallway one day and said, 'Look, we're looking to create some competition for that No. 2 spot at quarterback. We're bringing in Vince Young, we made him an offer, we'll see if he comes,'" Fitzpatrick told SiriusXM Radio on Wednesday. "'Just to let you know, obviously you're our guy, and we're just trying to get better at every position.' When people are up front and honest with you, and telling you what's going on, then it makes everything go much smoother."

Buffalo Bills' Vince Young Addresses "Dream Team" Comment

Photo

When quarterback Vince Young signed a free agent deal with the Philadelphia Eagles last summer, he famously coined the Eagles a "dream team" - a proclamation that, however blown out of proportion, came back to blow up in his face when Philadelphia went 8-8 and missed the playoffs after several high-profile free agent signings.

In his introductory press conference with the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday, Young was asked to address those comments made nearly a year ago.

"I definitely won’t make that comment again because it was definitely blown out of proportion," Young explained. "It’s just to show you that it’s the respect I have for the players that were around in that locker room and to finally get a chance and sit in the locker room when you’ve got guys like we had out there. It's the same thing here."

NFL Divisional Record And Playoff Berth Correlation, 2002-2011

Editor's Note, by Brian Galliford: This has been bumped from the FanPost section, and the reason should be obvious: this is well-written and very interesting. Good on you, sir. End Note

Since the 2012 NFL Draft, I've daydreamed about how this might be the year the Buffalo Bills make the playoffs. As I enjoyed that sweet, sweet thought, I began to wonder how important a winning divisional record was to making the playoffs. To find an answer, I decided to look into how division records correlated to playoff berths since 2002.

Bill Polian On Joining The Buffalo Bills Wall Of Fame

Photo

In the wake of the announcement that former Buffalo Bills GM Bill Polian was to be inducted as the 28th member of the team's Wall of Fame, the former front office executive spoke with WGR 550 on Tuesday to share his thoughts on the honor and his time in Buffalo. You can listen to the full interview here.

Polian joined the Howard Simon Show, saying he was shocked to hear he was being honored. In fact, he was worried when he got the call from Scott Berchtold, the team's Senior VP of Communications, telling him to call Ralph Wilson's home. Once Mr. Wilson informed Polian that all was well, the news left Polian speechless.

"It means so much" Polian said. "In many respects Buffalo is home, our kids went to school there. The fondest memories we have as a family are all based around Buffalo. There’s so much emotion tied up with it, so many friends, so many great memories, to be able to come back and receive that kind of honor is an important thing for not only myself but the entire family."

State Of The Buffalo Bills Roster: Offensive Tackle

Photo

Buffalo Rumblings is in the process of breaking down the Buffalo Bills' roster position by position. Installments you may have missed: CB.

When it become apparent in March that unrestricted free agent left tackle Demetress Bell wouldn't be returning to the Buffalo Bills, the team knew that it would be entering the 2012 NFL Draft with just three tackles on the roster. Clearly, the Bills had some work to do at the position just from a numbers standpoint; they ended up accomplishing more than simply finding bodies.

In 2011, we made a big deal about fourth-round pick Chris Hairston being the Bills' highest-drafted tackle since Mike Williams. A year later, that's already changed, with the team spending a second-round pick (and nearly spending a first-round pick) on Cordy Glenn.

Buffalo Bills' Vince Young Not Aware Of Any Wildcat Plans

Photo

Buffalo Bills quarterback Vince Young met and spoke with Bills beat reporters and local media for the first time this afternoon. One reporter - I wish I could tell who it was, to give him full credit - had the very bright idea of asking Young whether or not he knew of any special offensive packages (like the Wildcat) that head coach Chan Gailey or quarterbacks coach David Lee might be planning for him.

"Not that I know of," Young responded. "Right now I’m just learning new terminology and just feeding every day. I’m trying to get a lot of work in with Coach Lee the most that I can under the new rules that we have. That’s the biggest thing right now is just trying to learn as much as I can right now."

Buffalo Bills' Ryan Fitzpatrick Versus AFC East Quarterbacks

Photo

Buffalo Bills fans are bullish on their favorite team right now. Casual NFL fans seem to think the Bills are on the up, and media folks are routinely citing Buffalo as a "sleeper team" for the 2012 season. Among the myriad of reasons frequently cited for that label, the most cringe-worthy (at least to me) has to be when Ryan Fitzpatrick is called the second-best quarterback in the division.

Why does that make me cringe? Because Fitzpatrick, in his time with the Bills, has won just one game in nine tries (that's a 1-8 record for those counting) against teams led by Tom Brady, Mark Sanchez and Matt Moore.

Head-to-head comparisons of this nature don't tell the whole story, of course, but the fact remains: when the AFC East quarterbacks have gone head-to-head, Fitzpatrick has rarely come out on top, making any declarations about his being the runner-up to Brady in the division a stretch.
