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 23 INTs (79.1 QB Rating).  He also carried the ball 56 times for 215 yards (3.8 ypc) last year.  Fitzpatrick has now played in 58 games (52 starts) so far in his NFL career and he has completed 1,032 of 1,744 passes (59.2%) for 10,936 yards with 68 TD passes and 65 INTs (75.0 QB Rating).  Fitzpatrick also has carried the ball 204 times for 993 yards (4.9 ypc) with 5 TD carries so far in his career.  Fitzpatrick is now 18-33-1 (35.3%) as a starting QB in the NFL. 27-year old QB Tyler Thigpen is not much of a player.  He played in 3 games (0 starts) for the Bills last year and he completed 3 of 8 passes (37.5%)...

Bills 2011: By the Position

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...

Revisiting my 31 predictions for the Bills 2011 season

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...

---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...
