Yet Another moronic post on running backs. If you read yesterdays classic that Fred should be CUT, you would understand your thought is far from unique. But yea Fred Jackson is the reason the Bills get their asses handed to them on most Sundays. And CJ would have the team at 7-1.
This "thread" should be merged with other ones calling for Freds head.
^^^^ This.
Instead of talking about needing better LB's etc, people who don't know football point to probably our biggest strength and try to call it a weakness.

Looks like OBD has started looking towards 2013 already. Player development and evaluation starting.
Here's to the draft!!
I think it's called injuries. Not planning.
-
We have their number ? What?!?
So that's been some other team I've been watching get destroyed by the patriots for the better part of a decade
GOT IT!!! 867-5309.

I just read the article posted on TBD, that Ralph told Gailey that he is not happy that the Bills are losing. So, does this mean that if the Bills bottom out and finishes 6-10 (or worse) does Ralph tell Nix to fire Gailey (contrary to what Nix said last week), does Ralph fire Nix, or does nothing happen?
I am not being sarcstic but Ralph has been consistently mad. He was mad at Polian, mad at Butler. Mad when we didn't have enough talent. He was really mad at Donahoe. Didn't like Greg Williams. Mad at Mularkey. Now he's mad again.
Whatever. Nothing will change until he is not the owner. His record is very consistent. Snnnnnooooooooooozzzzzeeeeeeeeeeee
Go Bills.

The game has changed. QBs are able to carry teams more than rbs. And even back in the old days, how many small rbs were able to carry their team?
I pretty much agree. Problem is. Chan DRAFTED HIM IN THE FIRST ROUND. Damn. Not yelling at you but you cannot draft a guy there, have arguably the Best 1-2 punch in the game and then say.....well it's a passing league.
Yeah it is a passing league Chan. A league that has Passed You by!
Now say bye.
Please. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3 FG's... I this what it;s like to kiss your sister?
Really. Is that what it's like??
-
It gets harder and harder to find any reason to come visit this forum every day.
Really?, this is one of the best threads all season. True story.
(sad, but true) -
Then we can switch back to the 3-4 and start drafting all over again and in a couple years we'll have a really good D.
1999 called. They want Wade Phillips back!!
Here we go again.
-
Now that we know that Gailey will be here for at least one more year, let's look at the positives. The guy has definitely improved this offense with the caliber of players that he's had to work with. He has a ton of 7th round picks and undrafted guys at his disposal and is still able to move the ball and be effective in the redzone. Do you remember how bad fitz was before he got here? Well he's still just as bad but gailey is able to hide a bunch of his flaws with the scheme that he runs. Now with a franchise quarterback that nix is promising and a new more innovative defensive coordinater, this team can be something special.
Seriously?? It's like the Anti-Troll thread.

The shopping carts .........................even little old ladies can push them around
I think we have a winner!!!

Add to this the clear poor management (without regard to whom you want to blame for this it is clearly a poor outcome) prior to the Donahoe item which begins your list the history just prior to this was:
Early 90s- The glory years for a team led by several now HOF quality players like Bruce, Jimbo, Thurman and near HOFers likeTasker and Reed.
1996- Ralph makes a handshake deal onlly he could make to reward Jimbo in his next contract (a move which is totally illegal on the salary cap and demontrates blatant disregard for his fellow business partners in the nFL and I suspect is part of the reason for the difficult to justify delay in his entry into the HOF). This football judgment by Mr. Ralph was simply wrong wrong wrong and happened in conjunction with his fiiring of Bill Polian as GM.
1997- on Due to Kelly retirement the team rushes Todd Collins to start (even though he clearly has happy feet under the pass rush. This leads to the team making a series of failed movves at QB featuring desperate acquisitions of bad players (like Hobert), stupid overpayments (RJ), violating their word (team told Fluties he wou8ld get a shot to win the job on the field but the guaranteed contract to RJ showed this was a lie and then they mismanaged the contracts given sso when Flutie met his performance targets the Bills were forced to extend him.
1998- on- Mr. Ralph demonstrably mismanaged time with Wade Phillips as HC as he not only fired Philips (the last HC who led the Bills to the playoffs) but then was forced by the league to pay him when we tried to stiff him
2000= Mr. Ralph demonstrbly developed a poor relationship with GM John Butler who left the team in a lurch for SD which led to the hiring of Donahoe.
We owe mr. Rlph a debt f gratitude for keeping the team here when there was likely more $ to be made if he moved the team to LA, but it seems pretty clear that along with the deserved praise for the 90s he is directly in charge of the mismanagement of this team from the mid 90s on
Excellent Post. And more or less factual. Many on this board have a Ralph Love fest.
He is THE reason for the success and the failure.
Over his time as owner = .414 winning percentage.
More failure than success.

As some of you know, Bills GM Buddy Nix has returned from a two week scouting trip.
As far as I can tell, he didn't have a press conference but he did (as many of you know) have an interview with WGR Radio and also with the BB's Chris Brown.
There's a separate thread about the WGR interview and some comments about the Chris Brown interview but Nix also interviewed with the AP's (and our own) John Wawrow.
The most interesting material came from the JW interview.
The four major points of JW's interview were:
1) Because of the WGR morning interview, Nix felt compelled to speak with Fitz after practice regarding his future in Buffalo:
"Aware that his comments on radio had raised speculation regarding Fitzpatrick's status, Nix approached the quarterback following practice to reassure him."
2) While Nix was very supportive of Chan Gailey, there was no support for Wanny and in fact there was tacit disapproval of the job Wanny has done:
In defending Fitzpatrick, Nix pinned the blame of the Bills troubles on the team's under-performing defense.
''Listen, you score 34 points, you're supposed to win the damn game,'' Nix said, referring to a 35-34 loss to Tennessee two weeks ago. ''I mean, how many do we have to score?''
3) Nix has no intention of stepping aside any time soon. In fact he sounds determined to stay on until he has built a solid foundation for his successor:
As for his own future, Nix said he has no intention of leaving Buffalo until the team's a winner or owner Ralph Wilson fires him.
''I came here to make sure this thing was turned around and on solid ground,'' said Nix, who's in his third year as GM. ''And I'm not going anywhere until it is, or unless the owner says I am. And he and I are the only two that can. How about that?''
4) Finally, the grand-daddy of the interview, the disclosure that Gailey IS NOT on a 3-year contract as had been widely and recently speculated about on this forum:
"Hired by Nix in 2010, Gailey has a 13-26 record in Buffalo. Nix also revealed that Gailey has at least one more year left on his contract, something the team had previously refused to discuss."
There's more good stuff too:
OK, First off thanks to you and JW. 2 things:
1. What is troubling for the short term is that Waaanny is still talking about not blitzing, not changing and getting pressure from the front 4. Hey I bill-ieve in the theory (somewhat) too, but if it ain't working Waaanny, what/when is this thing gonna change.
2. Would have LOVED if someone would have asked a follow up to Buddy along the lines of......"So with the play of Fitz since he signed the new contract and the statement you just made, would you say you and the organization made a huge mistake in giving Fitz such a large contract?"
I have always appreciated the Buddy and Chan being forthright but they are the one's that built this thing (....or didn't).

Just when you thought the Bills were bad comes a state from Kansas City that HAS to be close to an NFL record if not a record already...
Thru 8 games and counting, KC has not had a lead in regulation this year. That's right...the Chiefs have either been tied or losing for over 480 minutes of game time and their only win was in New Orleans after a huge comeback to win in OT.
Might be one of the most embarrassing stats I have ever seen to be honest.
We might suck, but just think what it must be like to be a KC fan who hasn't seen their team have a lead in almost 2 months, lol....
I despise them. Our futility can certainly match up with theirs.
C'mon Bills!!!

Read into things much? He was just answering a question about his former team...
The actual quote from Dareus, FWIW:
"I don't know if they could compete with an NFL team, but they're more disciplined than most NFL football teams," Dareus told the Buffalo News. "They'd stick in a game with a few teams. They're just coached real well."
Yes, the quote was a little curious but a Big LEAP to call it Dissing Chan.

Why don't the Bills just sell all of their DEC home games. It's not like anyone in Buffalo wants to go.
PTR
I know you are probably just joking but I think it's a fallacy. "If you built it they will come".
I think many have been waiting for them to build it. I personally love the December games when the Bills are good.
Love the atmosphere. Love the snow. Absolutely LOVE the home field advantage!!!!
(but when we suck, I would rather be home with warm toes and cold beer)
Is this true for the most of us? Or do you stay away from all of the Cold December games???
Go BIlls.

He should of been given the chance for HC for one full season.
I sure miss Perry Fewell Wade Phillips!
Fixed!

Does anyone know, or have an educated guess, what actually went down here--from a medical and PR perspective?
Mario says this:
"I just had it cleaned up. I mean from whatever I injured earlier on in the year. There was a bunch of junk and stuff that was in there. That's the reason why I couldn't have motion and couldn't really use it... I couldn't tell you exactly the terminology of that. I mean they cleaned it up. I wasn't awake, so I don't know. It is what it is, basically just cleaning it out."
Just "cleaned up?" "Junk and stuff?" WTF is that? Makes as much as sense as Wanny's repeated use of the phrase "not fitting it up."
You have an $98 million wrist, and don't know (or you're not saying) what the procedure was? And you text the front office about it? And, supposedly, they knew, but that's not what the previous stories implied. Further, the Buffalo staff weren't able to clean out some junk? (And stuff).
Whole thing is bizarre from this fan's viewpoint.
It was a texting accident.

Ever listen to a Belacheat interview. He's so vage you think he is the water boy. Some of the supid questions deserve stupid answers also. Don't be so harsh on our leader. Faith.
I am with you but one of the REFRESHING things about Chan has now become incredibly WORRISOME And that is his Candor. I think we all like that he has always been open and honest and been the Anti-Dick (Jauron) when it comes to discussing his team with the media.
The scary thing is.....He is being totally honest. He really is. Doomed. You change things at halftime, not after we get killed by the incredible Offense of the Jets.
He is being honest and I am scared. Can anyone say 7-9?
God bless us.
Go Bills.

Let opponents run for 200 yards and pass for 300 yards.
Allow Touchdowns on first four drives of second half.
Don't ever ever ever Blitz. Do not even THINK about blitzing.
Blame the players.
OOOOPS, this is not the Cover 2. This is the Wanny "Cover None".
Go Bills.

He must have made it rain like Sandy...

As I understand it, every team in the NFL has to have at least one player on the Pro Bowl team. With Moorman gone, I cannot think of one player who would make it. Any suggestions?
Damn. What a quandary. It's like a question that can never be answered.....
If a tree falls in the woods does anybody hear it??
It's like a mystery wrapped in a riddle.
If the NFL has to pick a pro-bowler from the bills who would it be??

OK, here are the defensive stats for the Jests. Did Maybin even play?

The Giants have a great owner the Bills do not. The Giants have a great gm the Bills do not. The Giants have a great coaching staff. The Bills do not. Because of the giants front office and coaches their players perform up to and beyond expectations. The Bills...do not. However like anything else it starts at the top.
This ^^^
YES YES YES....The rest is window dressing and whining!!
Ralph is mad that the Bills are losing

Man, this is really a LARGE part/reflection of Wilson's legacy.....
'Knox was a savior of sorts when he coached the Bills to their first win over Miami in 11 years and won the division. He did a weekly TV segment with News10NBC and actually made predictions. Can you imagine an NFL coach doing that today?' http://www.whec.com/...9.shtml?cat=571
Can you imagine going a decade at a time with no wins or a measly 1-3 wins Against a team in your OWN DIVISION ...............and Multiple times???? ( see New England vs Bills ).
Ralph's overall record as owner of the Bills is abysmal.
I guess he proves the theory that a even a broken clock can be right twice a decade.
