Is this a case of 2 wrongs making 1 right?

Since finding this board, I have had some of the biggest laughs, mostly from how contradictory everyone is from week to week, day to day and post to post. Examples: 51 - Poz is the best/mediocre/worst mlb in the game, is too slow so he should be moved to olb position where speed is a required asset. 7 - JPLoseman holds onto the ball waiting for the "big play" to develop and ends up taking a sack or turning the ball over. He should check down more often to "keep drives alive." so when 5 - TE takes over, he becomes "captain check down" because he is too quick to dump off passes (despite the fact he has no time behind a young OL) and therefor must be too timid to throw down field (like JP used to) Get my point. This board is hilarious.

So in other words' "Stupid is as stupid does."

I remember when Hank Boulock was the coach and Bruce Smith warned players in the huddle not to make any tackles or he would kick their ass in an attempt to get Boulock fired.

I have "lived" with the Bills since 1974. Seen it all. The SB teams where the best, why? Becasue I got off the coach and jumped up and down, sometimes when it was just a first down. I would save my money to buy tickets to the game, what an experience. My kids where young back then and I would take them up to the local sledding hill for them to "wear out" before the games. That hill was nothing but Bill's hats, jackets and pants. It was great and the pride everyone had for their team was unbelievable. It hurt to loose the sb's, but I live and die with the Bills. This past Sunday I lay'd on the coach with zero emotion for a team I love, but knew would loose in the end.

I was never impressed with Billick as a coach. Ossie Newsome on the other hand, is one of the best talent evaluators in the league and a major reason the Ravens have been so strong (especially defensively) all these years. Marv was a mediocre coach when he came to Buffalo, but Pollian built a great team for him to work with. In other words, a teams success has a lot to do with the talent brought to the team by the GM.

"I take full responsibility" = "Fire me Ralph"

Quote from the article: "Here's one guess why: the NFL, with so many players and so many coaches and so much turnover and so many moving parts, is all about management. And, right now, management has never been more important. Humans are not equal in talent, whether they're in the front office, on the sidelines or in the huddle, and the notion that a few rules will "level the playing field" is being mocked openly on the field right now. What the NFL has done, actually, is create a system that ends up rewarding well managed teams and punishing poorly managed teams. The Colts, Patriots and Steelers continue to fine tune the system year after the year and win year after year. The Browns, Lions and teams like (in recent years) the Redskins make poor and sometimes desperate off-the-field decisions that make them uncompetitive on the field. Back in the day, before the efforts to "level the playing field," a poorly managed team could splurge for a season or two on talent and compete. Money is the great equalizer. But that weapon has been removed and now, more than ever, not less than ever, NFL teams are dependent upon smart decision-makers and good executives. The NFL has maximized, not minimized, inequality on the playing field by maximizing the importance of management." This sums up Buffalo's predicament, mediocre to poor management begets mediocre to poor teams. Although, my believe is the team plays as well as it can inspite of the management, as aposed to a team like Washington, were the players are only playing for themselves. Bill Polien, please come back to Buffalo!

Draft 1. LB 2. DL 3. OT 4. DB Free Agent 1. QB 2. OT 3. DL 4. LB

"While the Bills' offensive line did a decent job on some plays, quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was under duress a lot. A review of the game showed that Fitzpatrick got sacked twice, knocked down five times and pressured seven times on 24 drop backs." So I guess on 10 out of 24 pass attempts, FP "didn't get his head ripped off" is acceptable. Jarious Byrd handing the Bills 2 interceptions in each game, had more to do with winning than FP ekeing out.

Yeah, it would be fun to watch him drop passes from Manning.

I call BS on this. TO drops balls EVERY game. The Bills won because the Jets SUCK, not because FP is better than TE.

And if I don't show up for work because I think I am underpaid? Guess what, in the real world I would get fired.

Senility for insanity, what could be worse?!?

Unfortunately, games like yesterday. bring back those memories. Some as hope that one time the Bills were really bad and rose up to go to 4 Super Bowls and some that maybe those days weren't so bad afterall.

After reading these forums, I have come to the conclusion, that the sorry state of the Buffalo Bills has made it's fans completely insane. It has been so dysfunctional, top to bottom, for so long, with nothing but past glory and little hope in the future, the fans are at a complete loss to comprehend the overwhelming nature of how bad this team and organization has become.

What about his statement says that he is not invested in this team. From what I have seen TE is playing hard and has not given up on his team.

If Rush Bimbo bought the Bills, I would immediately become a Raiders Fan.
