The fact that Jauron still has a job more than likely means that whoever the team brings in will become a part of a sinking ship, be it Jay Cutler, or even Nick Mangold, Jeremy Trueblood, and Davin Joseph. While it would be great to have any or all of 'em, what real difference would it make w/ the same inept staff coaching 'em? Would we even see the same results out of Mangold, Joseph, Trueblood, and Cutler that they've shown so far in their careers? I really don't know, but I do know that after sitting through that atrocity on Saturday, I have VERY little faith in this coaching staff to make anything work. If they can get it done, great. But, it's "show and prove" time for me. They do not get the benefit of a doubt.

Man, is Cutler shrewd.

Heh heh......he said, "Duke takes a dump"....heh heh.....

Yet another reason I cannot stand Schein. A "great job" in Chicago? He had one good year, didn't he? And wasn't that defense led by a couple of those big, fat, not as athletic DTs named Keith "Tractor" Traylor (not very athletic: guess Jauron didn't watch the Bills-Broncos game from '97 when he ran back a pick for a score) and Ted Washington. I'll bet Brian Urlacher's back sure liked those big monsters in front of 'em keeping blockers away. But, you can't win anything w/ guys like that... Phenomenal call, Schein. Let's put a big red bow on it.

..or the time that could've been saved had Levy called a timeout after the stop on 3rd down before said ill-fated drive.

Yeah, but what do you know 'bout football?

One down, one more to go. Welcome to our new member..........The Rising

"We just didn't make enough plays..."

25 days and counting!!! Getting ever so close now...

If we lose, Bart's out of the family.

Meh. You could be right, or not. I remember the last time I had Manning as a QB. I had a late round pick, so instead of taking some second rate RB, I took the points and went w/ Manning. He ended up having a career year, breaking Marino's TD record and winning MVP. I also did okay w/ my RBs, both of whom I took a bit later (I took Randy Moss w/ my 2nd pick): Emmitt Smith had just under 1,000 yards and scored 9 TDs while my other RB, Curtis Martin, led the league in rushing. That team got blasted too.......then ended up in first place going into the playoffs. Of course, we lost in the championship game that year (it is my team and subject to my luck, after all...which sucks), but I can live w/ that. To be revisted upon the end of the season.

26 days and counting!!!

What isn't?

Good thing I'm going to see that one, huh?

Hahaha!!! Subtle shenanigans, eh? Like not reading the above post? TBD2 (Use Your TBD Username As Your Team Name!) Welcome to the league, Dave. We're all full now.

Here's my team: QB: Peyton Manning, David Garrard RB: Michael Turner, Reggie Bush, Jamal Lewis, Fred Jackson, Chester Taylor WR: Calvin Johnson, Santana Moss, Lance Moore, Nate Burleson TE: Jason Witten, Visanthe Shiancoe K: Mason Crosby, Nate Kaeding IDPs: Terrence McGee, Lawrence Timmons, Chris Hope, James Laurinaitis, Tramon Williams It's a 12 team league. Here's the lineup: QB RB WR TE WR/TE WR/RB WR/RB K IDP IDP IDP Not too shabby for a default team. Even though I run this league, I missed the online draft and had to rely on my default settings.

Tell me 'bout it. I had the pleasure of attending that game (my first year as a season ticket holder). Ah, the days when Bills fans were convinced that all this team needed to succeed was Mike Nugent.

Yeah, like the Giants, Vikings and Titans. I get tired of seeing the Bills' coaches looking outmatched on a weekly basis as well. Still, switching to a 3-4.....how is that going to help? This team is ill equipped for a 3-4 right now. It was frutstrating, wasn't it? Cullen Jenkins and Johnny Jolly were also very good in that game. Raji's play got all the TV hype, as it was his first time out there, but there were other standout performances on the Packer D line.

Still looking for 3 owners in the TBD2 league.

Our league is going into its' 6th season and we a dedicated owner to join us. It's a 10 team league and we have payouts in the following amounts: 1st place: $100 2nd place: $75 3rd place: $50 4th place: $25 The cost for the league is $32 and must be paid via PayPal, which is also how league winnings are disbursed. If you're interested, PM me for more details.

Here's the thing, JA: I don't defend ANY scenario. I think they're all messed up, each and every one of 'em. Guess it's just me.

I can be a bit more flexible w/ our draft date for the keeper league, since, unlike Yahoo!, we're not @ the mercy of a calendar as to when we can schedule it. I've heard from a couple others w/ concerns on the draft date. I guess I can move it; I don't want to have it too early but we can't try to do it on the eve of the start of the season either. We'll work something out.
