Sisyphean Bills

I say run a couple more reverses with no real blocking.

If that's inversely proportional to his desperation, then there is some hope for this.

Yes. Yards rushing. Damn those too short subject lines.

Painting yourself into a corner. Hmm. Have we seen that movie before?

What's his IQ?

Discuss.

I have no doubt that the EJM pick was collaborative decision-making. Both Nix and Whaley have their fingerprints all over the selection and the way the roster unfolded over the seasons leading up to that pick.

The officially preferred narrative is that EJM is Nix' draft pick, until he starts playing like Ben Roethlisberger. At that point, he becomes Doug Whaley's pick.

Good point. It looks like the general housecleaning on the defensive side will be coming on Monday. If Lynn gets the permanent job after his one game audition in a game with about as much importance as a pre-season scrimmage, it will be on him and Whaley to hire a defensive coaching staff. Lynn's been around the NFL since the year the drought began, but all of his recent history—the last 8 seasons—has been as a member of Rex Ryan's staff.

Maybe it's the first time they charted something?

Was he carrying a pipe wrench?

All he has to do is sell EJ Roethlisberger up the chain-of-command and clean out the display case for the guaranteed Lombardis.

Please keep this discussion on topic. Thanks. The moderator team.

This follows the "nothing known" generalized argument. e.g., Nobody knows **** about <dude's name>, but he's gonna be great!

Mine isn't. I have dogs that can demonstrate how to run to a ball though.

Well, we will see.

What are the chances Lynn takes another gig? Like, say, the Rams?

Coughlin was seen at the airport being picked up by a guy in a slow Taurus.

Thank goodness. I heard there were a ton of fans who had not seen enough of EJM.

Don't want to kick Marv's tires? Or Dick Jauron's?

Yep. Setting aside excuses, the results do not demonstrate success. They show mediocrity. That's not "hating on Whaley". That's reality striped bare of propaganda.

Personally, I can see sending them both packing. They are very similar in personality. As you say, they may have even asked to be fired together. Maybe Rob took credit for the 10 men on the field &#33;@#&#036; up to save Rex. I've no idea. My point was about appearances as a follow-up to the attractiveness of coaching gigs in Buffalo. The speculation that big-name coaches are going to jump at the chance to come here does depend on appearances and the overall appearance is one of dysfunction and possibly even pettiness.

He could've been told that he was "sick" and not to bother coming in for the rest of the week. It comes across as petty and personal. Would you want to work in an organization like that?

My issue with Whaley is the insistence of his innocence, the stacked accounting narrative that excuses all responsibility, and the actual results, which have never come close to the glowing sunshine blown about.
