That is exactly the point idiot. I guess the subtle humor of one complete loser thug who has squandered his NFL career and 1st round selection in the draft being smoked by a relative unknown in Joes vs Pros is beyond your ken (not the one that sits next to a Barbie, but the one that signifies understanding). Dolt. At the time I posted this there REALLY wasn't anything going on at OBD... Now that TO has brought his circus to the Ralph, well... I understand the board will be hopping again. And to those who supported my brief attempt at a humorous diversion - thank you.

Too funny. I don't know if anyone else posted on this but apparently Pacman Jones was calling a "joe" he was going against "Waterboy" and had hit him well out of bounds. Rather than be punked the "Waterboy" Dan Adams a former Holy Cross standout lit him up on a goal line stand.

Crappers! Time to knock on wood, cross fingers, and waive dead chickens.... no secondary players in the first PLEASE. Jauron has to understand that no matter how talented our secondary is, they cannot be expected to lock onto receivers for the 6 to 7 seconds opposing QBs have to throw the ball. Need a pass rush, or at least a player that can collapse the pocket a bit to rush some throws.

No contest Moss. Hands-down Moss is the better receiver - better hands, deceptive speed, and can outjump just about any corner. Moss can take over even when double-covered. I have never seen a receiver pluck the ball out of the air like he does with one freak'n hand since they outlawed "stick'em" in the NFL. He is a very unique talent, and can make any QB that can heave the ball near him look like an All-Pro.

True that.

You are so right... Never stepped back and looked at it like that, but they do clearly set the stage for the hole they need to fill by looking at the free agents on the team that will have market value because they are performers and then deciding ahead of time not to compete to sign them. The list does continue with several other examples, but there is no guarantee that you are going to find a player to fill that void. And you are right, that is why this team often feels like it is just spinning its wheels - they are in a constant cycle of 2 steps forward 2 steps back. Many times they have never been able to fill that hole they create. Look at the debacle of letting Pat Williams go. The Bills have been hurting on the interior line ever since. The Pat Williams one really chapped my you-know-what because Pat was a good locker room guy and just wanted to be paid like other starting DT - not the highest mind you, he signed for roughly 4.4 mil a year and a signing bonus with the Vikes. And here we are years later lamenting the fact that we do not have a DT that can stop the run yet pressure the pocket on passing downs and that is exactly what we had in Pat. Colleagues of mine out here in the Twin Cities can't help but thank me and the Buffalo Bills organization for being such a wonderful farm team for them. I understand that some teams can pull off the roulette of turnover simply because they have very sound coaching, system, and talent evaluators. Damn you Patriots.....Damn you (I really need an emoticon that is shaking its fist towards the heavens)

I would be regressing at my job too if I had Jessica Simpson waiting for me at home

Even money, I would take Boldin any day of the week over TO. Better hands and a hell of a lot less lip. I could just see him whining now that Trent isn't getting him the ball, and how would everyone feel with his notorious 3-4 drops a game. He must have driven Romo and Wade, and just about everyone else in Dallas nuts. I was kind of hoping he would stay there for a while

Plenty nimble? I had a hard time believing that even when our old coaching staff was trying to feed that to us after the draft, I doubt that you are going to change my mind now. He played like he was glued to the ground, guys blew right by him. He was so slow they shifted him to right tackle and even there his fragile ankles and knees could not support his egotistical 400 poundness. I was on the board and I wanted McKinnie. I thought that Mike was too slow and heavy to play Left Tackle, I did think that the Front Office at OBD was finally trying to take care of our abysmal offensive line that victomized one Buffalo QB after another, and I was glad that Mouse was hired to try to mold the bums into some semblance of a wall against opposing rushers, but I was not happy with the Mike Williams pick.

Ship them Beastmode before he shoots himself in the knee with an unregistered gun while lighting up a blunt. Zona is desparate for RB.

That figures... the highest pick the bills had in the longest time and frigg'n Jerry Gray the lame Defensive Coordinator is the guy that tips the decision making scales by his vast expertise on offensive tackles. Holy crap what a circus it must have been. Donahoe and gang would have been better off ordering Chinese food before the draft and hoping for sage advice from the fortune cookies. We could have sent a magic 8 ball to OBD and been farther ahead. Yet we still have Modrak... hmmmm? You think that maybe he is secretly getting paid by NE?

Well he had plenty of opportunities to show the NFL world something with Trent out last year. What we got was the same thing... hold onto the ball for 5 seconds, run to slow to get away, and fumble the game away. Been there, done that. Good luck JP - I think you are a decent human being, but you need to have a feel for the pocket and an internal clock set ahead by 3-4 seconds to make it in this league.

Thanks dude. I appreciate you not trying to defend Jauron, rather you defended what it means to be a fan. All kidding aside, I needed that. Man, I just want them to beat freak'n NE - I can't take the 2 automatic L's every year since that demon-spawn took over as coach (OK, that's an exaggeration we've won 2 games against him). Arrrggg

I have a name for my pain... Wasn't aware of who was selling the Kool Aid at OBD on that deal Thanks GG

INSERT CRICKET NOISES PLEASE

Pretty much sums it up. There is still a chance we will win despite Dick trying his best to foul things up. I think we have some talent, and are just a few pieces away from being able to run the T-2 defense with enough wrinkles to pressure the opposing QB. I want to believe, but each year with him at the helm I get that "Lucy holding the football" feeling.... doh! doh! doh! doh!

Too funny.

The Front Office played this one right. As much as I would like to see a veteran receiver to help mold our young guys and to take some pressure off of Evans, that is just too high a price for Coles.

It hurt when they took Williams, I kept thinking he was a better looking Jamie Nails - thats not saying much. He was way too heavy to be nimble enough to play LT (375 pounds at the time he was drafted), and all he talked about was how great college was and how he missed Texas. I thought, maybe the scouts and coaches knew something we didn't. sigh.

Perhaps we are being a bit harsh on you. You have to admit, you are a bit of an anomaly when it comes to being a Bills fan. I couldn't muster your level of optimism unless I had a prefrontal lobotomy to wipe out the last 20 years of epic failures in big games, and dismal mediocrity in between. I don't think anyone has given up hope, but the reality of the matter is that great coaches make the most of the players they have, manage the clock and the game, and make sure their team is well prepared. Quite simply, they put the team they can field that week in the best position to pull out a win. In that regards Parcels has accomplished more in one season as GM of the Dolphins then Jauron has as HC for 3 years. If he wins the Superbowl with us, will I be happy? Will all of us? Of course we will, and there will be a collective sigh of contentment from every Bills fan around the world, along with the wildest party every thrown. Will I then think he belongs in the same category as Parcells, Belichick, Levy, Cowher, Lambeau, Shula, Landry etc... not so much. I would however buy him a drink and make a toast to his continued longevity and success

You better be sorry if it is posted elsewhere... or the posting edicate gods will forced to intervene Henry and child support issues - didn't see that coming

Cato June is younger, but I think Peterson would bring a little more toughness and size. That, and we could get him cheap for a few seasons while our draft picks like Bowen develop. I think he would be a good stop-gap pickup as long as our "scheme" doesn't have him 40 yards downfield on an island covering Antonio Gates.

Hey thanks for the link http://www.pro-football-reference.com/coaches/JaurDi0.htm I have to admit that cheered me up. Jauron = fall down 2 times, get up 1, fall down 6 more times... Comparing Jauron to Belichick is not fair; Jauron has more chromosomes.

I don't know why, but this post cracks me up - the Bills mini ice-age. You would think that old Ralphy would want to win a superbowl before he turns into an f-n fossil. Instead he hires one wannabe coach after another. I know it is a little late in the game now, but if he wasn't so damn stingy we wouldn't have hired the likes of Mularky or Williams (wasted years). I still fume over the game against Miami where our braintrust thought it was better to put a hobbled McGee out there in coverage rather than play the untested McKelvin. We know how that strategy panned out. In the first half of the game - McGee gave up something like 1,000,000 yards or so. Luckily the coaches got together at halftime and decided to do the same thing in the second half If we would have known that the last coach to figure out how to get us to the playoffs was Bum's kid we would have begged him to stay - even with his idiot Special Teams coach.

I agree, and with Trent scared to go downtown with the ball Reed got plenty of opportunities. I thought he made the most of them and moved the chains for us quite a bit IMHO You really saw how out of sync the offense got when he was sidelined with the injury and Parrish manned the slot. Ugly.
