    I have looked but cannot find a post started today by someone on post 3, proclaiming Jauron the worst coach on the planet, and the Front Office is the worst in football.

     

    I have always loved how 15 year old boys think they are the first ever to have thought of something.

    Pansy QBs

    In keeping with the topic of the thread, to me the biggest pansy QB of all time: Bert Jones! Remember, the Colts used to be in Baltimore, Baltimore was in our division, not hated as much as the Dolphins at the time, but there was no love fest going on either. Bert Jones was the biggest cry baby of all time!

    Hi, Gary the Retard look-alike:

    Gary the Retard

    Glenn the Retard in the red hat

     

    The thing is, this post shoud be removed, your signature should be deleted, and your miserable ass should be warned against starting threads containing personal insults. But since we are going there, check this out.....you are a coward and a punk. You are the most boring, miserable poster on this board. I will be up in Buffalo this year. If you were a man, you would find me (same spot every year) and tell me these things in person. PM me for the date.

    Since you are too much of a psusy to do this, allow me to suggest either intensive therapy, or suicide. There must be a bridge near the kennel in which you reside. Jump, you demented, distorted punk! :flirt:

     

     

    WOW!

     

    Hey Gary, bring # 96 with you....

    I am sick of hearing about how our coaching sucks....

    I've explained this to you before. I don't expect you to understand, or remember, for that matter.

     

    Intelligent posts, and posters, get treated in kind. Skooby doesn't make that cut.

     

    It is rare I disagree with you Dean, However, this time Skooby has made an intelligent post. The purpose of the post was to insight the very riot of replies he is receiving. Therefore proving that he is somewhere between the great apes and humans on the intellectual evolution scale. Apes may not of thought up how to do this.

    Why The Bills Suck

    I have lived in the Washington DC area since 1973. I have gone to see the Redskins play three times, all three times they were playing the Bills, all three times I cheered for the Bills. The Same applies for the Sabres at Capitals games. I took the ice and popcorn thrown at me, and in my younger day, even exchanged some fist. What kind of jerk switches colors to black and gold because that team is better that year. I agree with Sage! Winning is irrelevant, desired maybe, but irrelevant just the same. The Buffalo Bills are my team win or lose, always have been and always will be.

    Have you seen the schedule thing is BS. Last year every Bills fan had the two Fins games penciled in as wins. Even the most pessimistic fans had a split at worst. Its the NFL, its the most Topsy turby league out there. The Bills are just penciled in as a mid level team. They fall in line with about 75% of the league in they are 8-8 teams whose notion of going above or below that mark is predicated on three things

     

    1- Injuries- Its the great equalizer, and if you stay healthy it gives you an extra win or two because your starters are better than their backups duh.

    2- In Game Luck- A bad call, a lucky bounce, a fluky circumstance all these things add up to two wins and or losses a year. If you end up on the better side of those things than you can once again add a win or two to your tally.

    3- Luck with players having better production than expected- If you are a team and a few guys on that team have huge spikes in production for one year (ex: if Langston Walker were to be a pretty good LT) than that extra unexpected production could add a win to your schedule. Basically if you get a few one hit wonders in one year.

     

    Number one and Number two have a bigger impact than Number three obviously. But if you really want to see if the Bills can make the playoffs just hope they don't sustain any major injuries and than hope they get a little lucky I mean don't you think we are due? You can also hope that we get some production out of a place we don't expect.

     

     

    I happen to subscribe to this theory!

    For all the posters who say "Hardy is a bust"

    can everyone who thinks hes a bust use some intelligence? its a known fact most WRs are not good their first year. look at eric moulds please or Chad Johnson or most good WRs. It takes 2-3 years, and for Hardy look closer to 3 due to the injury and having a HOF replace him for the time being. Lee had a good first year by most standards, but that is rare. look at these GREAT receivers down below. a lot didnt even START as WRs but were RT their first year. so use some intelligence dont just label a dude a bust because you were expecting the second coming of Randy Moss in year one...

    Hmm, someone with actual statistical proof to make a point. I like this!

    Four most important people

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    An emerging trend in football is a franchise's reliance on four individuals: a GM, HC, QB, and of course owner. If a team is above average in these ares, the franchise will be successful. The question remains how to qualify what works as good for the management positions which do not have statistics to demonstrate their effectiveness.

     

    Everything in a franchise begins with the GM. Teams like Pittsburgh (Kevin Colbert), Indianapolis (Polian) NY Giants (Jerry Reese) Miami (Parcells/Ireland) New England (Belichick) Green Bay (Ted Thompson) and a few others regularly win. Teams without proven talent evaluators at GM do not. It's my belief that a GM is the single most important position, front office or on the field, in any franchise. EDIT: Their importance not only comes in selecting a coach, but in repeatedly finding talent through the draft and being smart in UFA.

     

    Second most important is the QB. There is no more important position on the field, and a good one can make great things happen. I won't forget seeing Roethlisberger hanging on in the SB or guys like Drew Brees make unknown receivers look like All-Pros. To me, the QB is the second most important asset a team can have, so much so that team's continue to gamble in the draft by taking players who they hope can develop into stars.

     

    Third is the HC. We've seen enough instances (Sparano in Miami, Mike Smith with Atlanta) where a HC can gameplan and out-fox opponents with lesser talent. They game-plan to highlight their strengths and minimize weaknesses.

     

    Lastly is an owner. The best owners seem to take a back seat to their management and empower their front office people rather than dictate. Former Dolphins majority owner Wayne Huizenga, the Mara's and Tisch's with the Giants, Bob Kraft in NE, and the Rooney's in Pittsbugh epitomize what good owners do: let football people make football decisions.

     

    All in all, the Bills don't seem to have the decision makers at these key management positions. Edwards may well develop into a solid QB. But the other three positions are all below average and if (a huge if) the team does not find themselves in the post-season, the GM and HC should be replaced. Out of the worst 12 teams in the NFL in 08, 8 (DET, STL, KC, SEA, CLE, JAC, SF and DEN) made significant changes to their front office or at HC. Only Buffalo, Oakland, Cincinnati, and Green Bay did not. I can understand GB, but those other three are perennial doormats.

     

     

    It is clear that Ralph has kept all running the show just to torque the jaws of the disgruntled bandwagon clingers, whiners and malcontents! Yet, when we win it all, and it will happen some day, we the true bloods, will know who you are with your fake I knew it all along, getting in the way of our real celebration.
