  1. Today wasn't all that bad ,Yea the game it self was bad and boring but there was nothing else to do and the weather is cold. So why not sit back and relax in your nice warm living room and watch some football. Nothing will ruin my day today because my daughter has just informed me that Iam going to be a grandfather for the first time. ;)

     

     

    Congrats! One good thing happened today, at least. Oh yeah, it's the 4th Sunday of Advent. There are bigger things than football.

  2. The one thing missing from Parcells' list is - won at every level he played. There are lots of college QBs that have size, arm, and smarts, but the great ones refuse to lose (Kelly, Marino, Staubach, Stabler, Elway, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady). I say the personnel rep should challenge the guy to a game of ping pong and see how he treats it. If he absolutely must win, that's your guy.

     

    Also, we do need a cold weather QB. Sure, we don't get snow but maybe once or twice, but it gets really cold in November and the winds make it worse. Kelly was perfect and I think Marino would have been good too.

  3. Yeah baby, Go Noles! If Miami wanted a bowl game, they should have won more. Bowls are about TV, not marginally better records.

     

    No. 1 thing in a QB should be "is he a winner?" Look at the greats. They all won at every level and refused to accept losing. The one notable exception was Archie Manning. He deserved a better fate.

  4. Marv Levy is a class act and was a pretty good football coach. One can question his choice of a head coach and his talent evaluation, but he has earned all of our respect and deserves to be thanked for trying to fix this team. He took a chance. It didn't work. Move on and have a little self respect.

  5. I don't know why anyone thought we had much of a chance with practice squad players in key positions. This is another 2007. It's too bad. They were looking ok until Poz went down. Now teams just have to shoot the middle of the defense, especially now that Whitner is out too. It's rotten luck and shows how cheap we've been in getting depth.

  6. Finally got to see them play on a Sunday here in S Florida. Almost went to the game. Glad I didn't. What did I learn? The Dolphins can beat up on our second stringers. 2007 all over again.. I also thought Trent was going to be good, but I think Bill Walsh was wrong about him. We keep getting these guys who never really won in college and never played in the snow. How smart is that? I'll watch the scoreboard from now on, but I have more important things to do than watch preseason games until December.

  7. The few positives I took from this game:

     

    1. The screen pass was an amazing thing to see in a Bills uniform! We need more of that.

    2. The effect of TO opening the middle of the field for Freddy J.

    3. Freddy J

    4. AVP had some solid play calling, although many were saying the same thing about Schonert

    5. Run D looked solid for the most part

     

     

    My big peeves:

     

    1. Detrimental Bell and his penalties - killed some drives

    2. Obviously McKelvin's return

    3. Clock management during last possession

    4. Can we please cover the comeback?

     

     

    and a long wait for Poz to come back from injury... Teams will attack the middle now.

  8. How about its pre-season and we start off 0-0. Don't let pre-season get you down. If the Bills stay healthy and get some in game luck they have a good chance to make the playoffs. I think the D with Maybin will be better and hopefully Byrd will help too. Also the Bills with TO will look better on O and give the line a few weeks to gel. Wood looks like a beast and Bell is going to come in and play up to his potential (I hope)

     

    Normally I discount preseason, but this is really ugly. I don't think there's much chance that these guys don't have enough pride to dog it in preseason. They want to win their individual battles, even w/o a game plan, but I don't see it. This love affair with undersized players makes no sense in a home field that snows for a 3rd of the season. I think Ralph was hoping that Dickie would turn into a Jeff Fisher, who took a few years to get a good team going. He realizes that he probably doesn't have time to blow it all up and start again, so he's hoping against hope. God bless the man, but he's only made one good hire in his life and he ran that guy (Polian) out of town.
