  1. I'm not letting the Pegula's off the hook, but it's not for the McDermott hire.  When Marrone bolted they had a perfectly competent NFL coach in their employ - Jim Schwartz - who had done really good things with the defense.  They could have made him head coach or they could have thrown enough money at him to convince him to stay on as d- coordinator and find an offensive minded head coach.  Instead, they hire the assclown who proceeds to destroy the D and set the franchise back a couple of more years.  Yeah, the Pegula's don't get out of this scott free.

  2. I think one of the big issues are problems that surfaced last night and smacked us in the face are problems that every single poster has complained about at one time or another (1) Tolbert isn't an adequate back-up to McCoy; (2) Ducasse has absolutely no business being on a football field; (3) Dennison's playcalling stinks. I'm not going to go crazy after one bad performance in which a lot of weird breaks when against us and I generally like what McDermott and Beane are doing but it's irritating seeing obvious flaws not being addressed.

  3. I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this but it's absolutely mind-blowing that the Bills have spent two #1's (Sammy), two #2's (Woods, Jones), two #3's (Graham, Goodwin) and a #4 (Sammy again) (not even counting trading a #2 (Darby) for a WR) IN THE LAST SIX YEARS and we arguably have the worst WR group in the league. How is that even possible?

  4. You have a number one WR? You're advocating using a top 10 pick on WR2? That's bad, I don't care who the QB is.

    A few years ago, the Rams had Isaac Bruce, who at the time was a top ten receiver, and they selected Torry Holt with a top six or seven pick. At the time, I thought it was a very odd selection. It turns out that pick (plus lucking out with Kurt Warner) won the Rams a Super Bowl.

  5. No question this has been a horrifically disappointing season - most disappointing in recent memory. But take a step back and imagine what this season would have been like with EJ Manuel and Matt Cassel as the quarterbacks. Two wins? Maybe three? It would have been as ugly a season as we've had in 30 years, which is really saying something.

     

    Has Taylor been perfect? Far from it. He certainly has significant flaws in his game. Nevertheless, if this had been his rookie season people would have been over the moon at his performance. Of course, he's not a rookie - he's a five year vet at this point. But this year was his first year of actual game experience. There is certainly a chance that his game will improve with a full off-season, training camp and pre-season as the undisputed #1 QB. Taylor isn't the reason this season has been disappointing. He's the reason it hasn't been a total, unmitigated disaster.

      Good ole Harvey Johnson. Those were the days!

       

      I'm always a little bit surprised that whenever there is a discussion of the worst head coach in the history of the NFL, Harvey Johnson's name is not at least mentioned. In two interim gigs as Bills' head coach, Johnson compiled a stunning 2-23-1 record, a winning percentage of 8%. Amazingly, one of the two wins was over the Joe Namath led New York Jets, who went on to win the Super Bowl that year.
  6. First and goal. Chance to get out to a good start. Wildcat - WILDCAT!! - Wood hikes the ball and hits Woods in the helmet. We're lucky to recover. Second and goal. Pass to Gragg who catches it standing with two feet a yard out of bounds! Even the announcers start laughing. Third and goal. Manuel misses a wide open Gragg in the end zone by about 10 yards. That, my friends, is a microcosm of this team.

  7. Not that anyone needs to be reminded but in the LAST FOUR YEARS, we have used two #1's, a #2, two #3's and a #4 on wide-outs. That's SIX high draft picks in four years. What do we have to show for it? One guy's already gone. One guy simply cannot stay on the field. One guy has totally disappeared. And the "star" of the bunch always seems to be nicked up or out. What a freaking debacle.

  8. When Peyton Manning was a free agent, I thought San Francisco was absolutely the perfect fit for him - great defense, strong running game, some decent weapons, let Alex Smith go in FA and let Kapernick sit for a couple of years behind Peyton. I am guessing that Peyton would have won one or two Super Bowls and maybe all the talk about Brady being GOAT wouldn't be as loud. But, of course, I guess that there would have been no way that Peyton and Harbaugh co-exist so it was not to be, cherie.
