Actually, while you may poo-poo the schedule issue in 2000 in an effort to minimize the legitimacy, it's a valid argument. The only team with a losing record that they lost to that season was NE* (5-11) at home, a game which Johnson started but was knocked out in the second quarter with NE* up 3-0, which goes on his W-L, but which they lost in OT 13-10 with Flutie in the game. Otherwise, the Bills that season split with the Jets (9-7), lost both games to Indy (10-6), lost both to Miami (11-5), and lost to Tampa Bay on the road (10-6) with Johnson starting. They lost to Minnesota (11-5) on the road with Flutie starting. The Bills beat Tennessee (13-3) at home, Green Bay (9-7) at home, San Diego (1-15) at home, and Kansas City (7-9) on the road with Johnson starting, and beat the Jets (9-7) at home, NE* (5-11) on the road, Chicago (5-11) at home, and Seattle (6-10) on the road with Flutie starting. Regardless of QB play that year, they were a middle of the road team with Eric Moulds, Ted Washington, Pat Williams, a few aging talents, and an otherwise non-descript roster that was about to undergo a salary cap purge, and were being managed by a GM whose heart was already in San Diego.

Huh... the story I heard was Flutie fed half of Johnson's brain to a homeless rabid baby. Go figure.

I'm right there with you on the caning. Those sadistic little Singapore women really know their sh... wait a minute... to be clear, you're saying you like your daughter's recitals... right?

I was planning to DVR this, but I accidentally DVR'd a rerun of "Little People Big World," instead. I got halfway through the episode before I realized that the father in the show wasn't Doug Flutie.

By the smile on Orton's face, I'm guessing Kiko brought the hooch.

Wait... they brought back Corey McIntyre?

.......... ............/\ +--( o )( o )--+ ............/\ .........._I I_ I hope he gains 100+ on Sunday, and his teammates motorboat the hell out of that SOB in celebrating a Bills win.

***psstt*** ***Buddy's not our GM anymore*** ***if anyone asks, you didn't hear it from me***

Belichick? He's the cheating bastard coach of the New England Patriots*.

They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works every time.

Patfitz from TSW calls it "heinous" and "INexcusable." Rotten Tomatoes gave it one of those green splotchy things, and called it unwatchable, even by Lifetime standards. Roger Ebert rolled over twice in his grave. "Marrone's Unforgivable Sin" is being panned as one of the season's worst stories by Bills fans everywhere, unless, of course, they win this week, at which point it will be hailed as a masterpiece, an instant classic, and will be nominated for numerous awards.

**cough**whitner**cough**cough** Should be like running in to/roughing the kicker. 10 yards for routine interference, spot foul for egregious/outcome altering interference.

Will parents threaten to drop their kids at RWS II if they don't behave? (Just me? or are others familiar with that threat, as well?)

How do you get a personal foul by slapping a teammate's helmet?

Nelson could be the league MVP through 6 weeks... if it was 1987, that is.

Kuaondjio ole'... sack, fumble... 20 yard return for a 7-0 Minnesota lead at 14:46 of the first quarter. Hell, if you're going to be depressing, might as well commit, right?

Sad I can't be there, but confident the Bills faithful will show him his due fandemonium when he takes his place on the wall on Sunday. Props to Carruci's column today for reminding people to be in their seats in time to cheer.

Ok, Bill, when you're giving me the ol' reach around after the game I'd like you to tickle my balls with your right hand, like this.

Playing devil's advocate, without the interference, Edelman was going to catch that ball. Odds are probably better than 99%. Egregious PI or not, the defense has a chance to stop them if they make a helluva goal line stand. I take more issue with the ****ty coverage than the penalty.

If it is a short term consulting position, I would agree with that. If it is a long term hire, it creates an odd dynamic, IMO, and usurps the GMs role to a certain extent. It's also not much of a vote of confidence for those already in place.

A fresh set of eyes that have had success elsewhere would be a nice way to help restructure the organization. However, unless they're either talking about relieving Whaley of his duties or this being a short term hire, this would seem to create a congestion of administration, as it would seem to me that the names mentioned in the article are essentially GMs. For the first time in years this team at least appears to be decisive and moving forward. There have been signs of life in free agent signings, the draft, player trades, and with coaching hires since Brandon took the reigns. While tweaks in structure may be helpful and necessary, and would be something a short term hire could provide, I hope they let things play out for a season or two with the people currently in place to see if the team is indeed heading in the right direction, instead of making knee jerk changes that will take yet more time to take root.

Even though it was a typed response, you know Kiko heard that. I'd sleep with one eye open if I was you, cuz next time you see Kiko, it REALLY WILL be painful for you to watch.

Take your soliciting elsewhere. This isn't Craig's List.
