Why do you keep doing this to yourself? We'll pick the 9th best punter or something with a top ten pick. I won't even get interested until I know real football people are doing the picking...

If he were still here, we would still be in last place. Who the f*** cares about Peters?

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.

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.
-
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.

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.
-
Yikes, glad I didn't get to watch that poor excuse for football. Just caught a little radio of it and decided to do something else. Guess we wait until next Spring and hope a lot of different people are running this show.
-
Not gonna happen. Ralph knows that Lombardi couldn't win with this team and all its injuries, both physical and mental. He'll let Dick ride out the season and pull the plug then, if only to keep season tickets from tanking. Can't help but think he is stripping things down to prepare for the next owner in whatever city that may be.
-
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.
-
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.
-
This one didn't work last week and is dropping the Jets/Titans game a lot.
Yeah, I tried this one last week and got nothing. Thanks for the other tips. Here in FL I couldn't even watch the FSU-USF game on TV (not that I'm terribly disappointed to not have witnessed it..)

1. Miami Dolphins, but mostly their fans.
2. Miami Hurricanes
3. Florida Gators
4. N.E. Patriots
5. St. Louis Cardinals

Losing the field position battle in the last few series
-
Same problem of porous secondary.
-
Another pick!!
-
Just need to tighten up the secondary. They were getting shredded until the pick
-
-
Lee Evans still plays for us? Awesome.

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.
-
Poz=broken bone in arm
Just when it looked like there was some hope for this season. We are now amazingly weak up the middle.
-
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.

God and I live down here with these Steeler fans, this was just friggin pitifull. When DJ comes out of his coma, I at least hope he shows some emotion when hes fired, god willing, it will be soon. Granted I dont see every Bills game like a lot of posters here but heres some of my observations. Trent Edwards is not going to take this team to the next level. Third year and Im seeing him regress, not take the next step like a Philip Rivers, Rogers or Roethlisburger. Donte Whitner is a flat out turd. I have never seen him make any play of consequence, like a big hit, or big interception return. Though JP wasnt going to take us to the next level, at least he could air out the bomb to Evans so we could score occasionally. Does anybody in their right mind think this offense and Captain Checkdown are going to march methodically down the field on long drives? The line needs totally revamped, maybe move Woods to center(he only started 4 years at center at Louisville), get Bell in at LT move Langston to RT, move Butler to G and whoever is left to the other G. Levitre is not ready to start and I dont see what they saw in him to move up to get him. I hope the new coach comes in and blows up this roster, comes in the first meeting and tells the players the reason they've been losing is because of lot of them just are not good enough. Cuts Kelsay day 1. Trades away Roscoe and Reed and uses that 6 million for a real receiver. Finds a replacement for Kyle Williams, cuts Shobel and Denney. The bright spot tonight is my mind is were gonna suck and suck bad. I just hope we suck bad enough to get one of those top QBS coming out in the draft next year. God this is gonna be a loooooooooooooooooooooong year.
Pretty drastic. I agree that we need new leadership (or at least some), but good teams build the lines first. Guess what the Buffalo Bills have done? The best skill players in the world won't help you until you build the lines. Take 2 years and draft linemen and get free agents, then plug in good skill players. That's building for the future. Oh yes, get a cold-weather quarterback for God's sake. Kelly played in PA before college in Miami. He understood the elements. These California kids have no clue and never will.
-
I think Wood and Levitre will be players in this league and I don't mind them getting reps against big time NFL D-lines so early in their careers...I was talking more on a personal level with those guys because they'll still be around regardless of the coaching staff for a while hopefully.
Ha! I think 7-9 IS optimistic for this team.
One Week from Today the clock can officially start ticking.
