I'm very surprised this didn't get referenced more often

I grew up in western Canada watching the Seahawks with Chuck as HC. Those were great teams

there were so many bad decisions during the drought...asking for one is like asking which raindrop got you wet during a rainstorm

I didn't become a Bills fan until adulthood (cue your maturity insults here) and I didn't really pay attention to the teams inner workings until I became a season ticket holder (2003). The hiring of Chan Gailey begat a mild depression. There were so many other better candidates out there. It looked like Chan was hired for the sole reason that he didn't present a threat to the status quo at OBD. The hiring of beloved Marv Levy as GM was an Al Davis move - an admission that the game had passed Ralph by and that only a name from the glory years could bring us back. Jauron's firing of his OC one week before the start of one of his seasons only amplified the clown show state of affairs at the time. Allowing Jauron to over ride our scouting department and select Maybin over other more worthy players was another sign of deep organizational incompetence and disunity. The selection of CJ Spiller wasn't as bad as Maybin but was the equivalent of taking a long snapper at #1. The continual trotting out of Fitzpatrick as an NFL starting QB was profoundly insulting to any fan not incapacitated by alcohol. The mishandling of Jason Peters and Marshawn Lynch reinforced our image as the farm team for big market teams. Especially that we got a bag of Doritos in exchange for each. The signing of Mario Williams was exciting but only served to reinforce our having given up any hope of building a legitimate football culture and instead become a country club for the overpaid and undermotivated. If we can't build a team, let's buy one! Signing TO was the triumph of marketing over roster management. Rex Ryan's hire was more proof that our front office was a group of naifs capable of being had by a huckster after one more big payday.

Epic journalism fail

let's hope we handle this situation better than we did Peters

Now we know why SI is headed for the historical trashbin like Time. TT is doing in Cleveland what McCarron is doing here - parlaying an audition into a better job somewhere else. If he doesn't he will become Fitz 2.0 and amass a great jersey collection along the way. Personally I expect TT to do well under Jackson (who I also wanted over Wrecks). Mayfield should have to earn his job just like Allen will have to .

I hear you're No Saint either

he's a minority owner of the Steelers and will have to divest

moneyball rules

The Patriot hater in me wants to believe the worst but I think us guys need to circle the wagons when it comes to unfounded accusations

maybe the Ryan brothers can smash a statue of Russ Brandon

whew, I was scared it was My Space

didn't know he was from Sherrill, NY

11 - 5 tying NE for division lead

this is also on Pro Football Talk. He was never charged so it should be disregarded IMO

no question Bortles acquitted himself well in the playoffs. Let's see if it carries over to the regular season. If it does the Jags could be unbeatable

Bengals, Dolphins, Jags and Cardinals are all worse than us at QB

Allen was not our highest rated QB as King misstates

we are in the lower bowl and went ten rows higher and 12 seats closer to midfield in same price point. Quite pleased

hopefully there are less recalls on Josh Allen than there are on the Santa Fe I noticed that Hyundai vehicle had no license plate. Hopefully it wasn't stolen

the hazing doesn't end when you're a rookie boys. BTW be sure to catch my Menudo tribute show off Broadway this summer
