The numbers look good, but I only remember one game where I thought Schobel showed up in critical situations. I could be way off base on this one because I watched this season with such a cynical, critical eye. Either way, Shobel is definitely maturing as a DE and I was a harsh critic of him last year. I hope he continues to improve to justify that contract, especially if we but some quality DTs on the line. RTB

What do you guys think of Mike Sherman? I haven't followed him closely, but he's a successful head coach with experience, especially playoff experience. Although he's only 2-4 in the playoffs, he's won the division title 3 times. I'm not quite sure why Green Bay would fire him but he's going to end up some place I think. I doubt Buffalo is that place, but anyone have any more of an informed opinion on him? RTB

I don't think there is any way you can keep TD in the organization without everyone wondering if every move made by the team has his fingerprints on it. RTB

Maguire hopped on the Madden "every guy is the best" bandwagon. This guy "is the best weak side, FB out-of-the-backfield-covering linebacker in the league today!" He was gushing all over himself yesterday and even went so far as to say that Marshal Faulk was the smartest RB in the game, EVER!. WTF?? I don't think he has good knowledge of the game, he covers up his lack of anything to say with the "he's the best" crap. Theisman, well, it doesn't get much worse. Maybe Joe Namath on the sidelines but thats about it. Patrick couldn't identify his mother on the 50 yard line. RTB

I'm sorry, its actually 3 interceptions directly attributable to Holcomb. Asswipe. RTB

Kelly Holcomb is god-awful horrible. I'm actually glad he's stinking up the place so we don't pretend like we have an actual starting QB there. He's directly responsible for 2 picks (bad toss to shelton, didn't see safety on evans), doesn't look off the safety, zeroes in on 1 receiver and has a noodle arm. This guy should be on the bench, MM should have had the stones to stick with JP all year. Nice mess we're in now. At least with a season under his belt we'd have an idea of what we have with JP. What a waste of a season. RTB

Playmaker!! Nice coverage.

Are people seriously considering Holcomb as a STARTER??? What good did putting Holcomb in this year do for this team? Nothing. We're still out of the playoffs and still wondering if JP has the tools. A full year of work for JP would give us a better idea of what we have going forward. Instead, we win a couple of more games (maybe), get a worse draft pick, a FAKE QB controversey, and a team in disarray. This team is worse than the 3 - 13 crap team we had. At least that team tried. I hate this management for the debacle they've caused. I don't hear too many Patriots or Cowboys players dictating who they think should start. Pathetic, I can't wait for the season to be over and the house cleaning to begin. RTB

The big difference is that Belichick has 3 Super Bowl rings to back up his experimentation on offense and defense. He has the benefit of the doubt from his team and fans for the forseable future. Mularkey, on the other hand, hasn't proven a damn thing except the innate ability to produce an assinine play call at the absolute worst time and have it fail miserably. Vrabel has 6 catches for 6 touchdowns. If we had Vrabel, MM would fake the pass to a wide open Vrabel and have Roscoe Parish do a statue of liberty play from the 1. RTB

Ya that's where the answer for this team is, the #4 wideout spot. Glad we've got it covered with a second round draft pick bust. That's like saying Coy Wire is playing the backup gunner position on the punt return team as well as anyone in football. Excellent. RTB

Have you actually watched any Dallas games? Blew Dredslow is directly responsible for at least 3 losses. A good friend is a rabid Dallas fan and has more grey hair in the last few months than he did in the last few years. RTB

Wow, and some people say we have some of the more intelligent fans. Holy crap. RTB

If Jeff Fischer was available that would be very interesting. RTB

Is this a bad thing to get pissed when a 5 year plan turns into a 25 year plan? It's called passion. Maybe New England bandwagoners would be satisfied being out of the playoffs for 6 years but they could just go back to being fans of whatever other team is doing well that year. The bottom line is that this franchise is not much better off then when TD got here 6 YEARS ago. The franchise is a joke, Mularkey has lost the team. Its becomming apparant that the players have not or are no longer buying the company line. The only thing that solves this problem is winning games and this team has a stong aversion towards winning. My frickin' grandmother who doesn't watch much football asked me to explain why the team was throwing the ball on 1st and goal from the 3. Do you hear that Mularkey??? My grandmother has better offensive playcalling skills than you. That's pathetic but hey, keep up the good work. RTB

If all it takes is 3 years then why has it been 6 years without a playoff appearance? By your own logic TD should go. RTB

The only definite thing about this whole situation is that it clearly shows how horribly wrong things have gone at OBD. For a 10 year vet who's always been a stand-up guy on this team to be reduced to a whiney B word this season can only be a result of horrendous mismanagement from the GM on down. I don't agree with EM's actions - any player who gets millions to play a game should STFU and do what the coach tells him even if it's to clean Evans' jockstrap - but I've lost all hope for the current regime. Things will not get better until Ralph cleans house from the GM on down. RTB

I think the rest of the league laughs at us. You absolutely must come away with 3 points in that situation. 7 would be a bonus. The Dolphins were completely back on their heels and getting spanked. Passing the ball there goes against every shred of common sense and makes MM and TD look like complete hypocrites when they talk about having a tough power running team. It was a god-awful play call that was instrumental in the team losing the game. I was a MM fan when he first got here but 2 years of overcoaching and I've changed my mind. This franchise needs to clean house from the GM to the waterboy. RTB

What now? Fire everyone. I mean it, from TD to the friggen Jock Strap Coach. Gone. This team hasn't had heart or guts since Wade's team lost to Tennessee. This is a result of poor player selection and poor coaching. You will not get rid of this culture of losing unless you clean house. I was a Mularkey fan but the continued pathetic play of this team and collapse when the smallest amount of pressure is applied is absolutely atrocious. This guy's playcalling is GOD AWFUL. Gone. Everyone. Start over. Another 5 years until we SNIFF the playoffs. RTB

Very average? This Miami team is one of the worst teams in the entire league, just ahead of the Bills. To call them average is a sincere compliment. They are absolutely atrocious, and we LOST to them. It's an absolute disgrace. Everyone from Donahoe on down needs to be fired. Today. RTB

That's what I meant when I said that unions have almost done their jobs too well over past decades. They gained a lot of leverage and used it to gain concessions from employers, be it private enterprise or the government. When companies go bankrupt all those union and non-union jobs disappear. When the going gets good, unions push for increased benefits for employees, and rightly so. Its the rare union that gives back to the company when the going is bad, especially huge unions like the UAW and SEIU. I don't think that in this country employers oppress workers anymore, so the need for unions has declined. If you don't like your job, you are free to find another. There are plenty of laws in place that prevent workplace abuses for the most part. RTB

I think the only thing keeping the team in Buffalo and hopefully keeping it here when Ralph hits the box is fan support. See Cleveland. I agree that a message needs to be sent loud and clear to this organization that mediocrity is not a goal to shoot for. RTB

The AMA is not a union, its a PAC. Physicians are not allowed to unionize - we get hit with anti-trust lawsuits. The health care field is government regulated, just not obviously so. I wish market forces were allowed to bear on the health care field. RTB

We live with a capitalistic economic system. The purpose of any company, be it Ford, GM, whatever, is NOT to supply people with jobs. It's to make as much profit for the shareholders as possible or to supply a service to the taxpayers at the smallest cost. The purpose of Unions is to get as much for their members as possible, and who gives a **** about the shareholders or taxpayers. I think what we're seeing a lot of recently is that unions have actually been doing their jobs too well over the past decades. Companies are going bankrupt and cities are getting control boards to break the unions. What got lost for a lot of unions is that these companies do not exist to supply them with jobs and they bit too much of the hand that fed them. RTB

The fact that anyone got a game ball after that abortion is simply amazing. RTB

This is a joke right? Did I miss the sarcastic smiley or something? Mike Williams doesn't have character. A guy with character shows up to play every day. He doesn't fall apart when grandma dies and takes half the season off with that lame excuse. A guy with character uses adversity to make himself stronger, not fatter. RTB
