Another Bills season down, another empty feeling in the fans' hearts as the playoff drought reaches 12 seasons. Previously on our site as the season approached, I exclaimed that the team was moving in a positive direction and expected 7 wins. Well, the Bills won 6 games but after the second half meltdown (1-8 in last 9 games), I'm not sure the rebuild/rebirth is actually taking hold. Even in a losing season, you'd like to see your team finish on a tear, making you wish the next campaign was starting tomorrow. That certainly didn't happen, quite the opposite really, and we're left to wonder if the Nix/Gailey plan is working or if they just need more time.
For today's post however, let's just look back position by position at this year's unit. There will be some stats but mostly this is observation, my gut feelings on our players and how the organization looks going forward. I will list my thoughts in "good, bad, and prognosis" classificatio...

Ryan Fitzpatrick seemed to run out of gas early last year for the Buffalo Bills
29-year old QB Ryan Fitzpatrick came out like a ball of fire in 2011, but after the Bills gave him a contract extension…he stunk it up. The Bills finished with a 6-10 (37.5%) record last year and Fitzpatrick was a big reason for that. He played in 16 games (all starts) for the Bills last year and he completed 353 of 569 passes (62%) for 3,832 yards with 24 TD passes and...

I posted these predictions on 9/10/11. What kind of fortune teller am I? Am I Whoopi Goldberg from Ghost or the chick who told Pee Wee Herman his bike was in the Alamo basement?
1) Will Ryan Fitzpatrick pass for over 20 touchdowns? No. I think Fitzpatrick will get in the range of 16-18 touchdowns. Don't get me wrong, I want Fitz to play well because he's a great guy and...

Jeffery a draft option
---The Bills likely will add a wide receiver in the draft even if they elect to re-sign free agent receiver Stevie Johnson and South Carolina wideout Alshon Jeffery, who announced he is entering the draft, is a possibility at No. 10.
Jeffery, pictured above, has the size (6-foot-4) the Bills covet and the ability to make big plays down the field. The most productive receiver in...
