  1. Way to insult the fans of Minnesota and the great teams from their past...

     

    Foot in mouth

     

    Vikings coach Mike Tice was upset that there were so many Steelers fans in the Metrodome last week. They were a vocal force during the Pittsburgh victory. So after the game Tice blasted Vikings fans who he suggested scalped their tickets to Pittsburghers.

     

    "It confuses me, I guess," Tice said. "Maybe they're not really diehard season-ticket holders or maybe they needed the money for Christmas presents. I don't know. One of the two."

     

     

    Yes, this is the same man who was nailed with a $100,000 fine from the NFL just nine months ago for scalping his Super Bowl tickets.

     

    Tice didn't stop there, either. He continued to take on his fans during his weekly radio show. Asked if he felt he wasn't living up to the history and standard of the organization, Tice bellowed, "What history? What tradition? Losing four Super Bowls? Not selling out at (former Vikings home) Met Stadium?"

  2. Scratch that, I guess Williams is out with a chest injury. He's hanged himself already.  Maybe they SHOULD go with McFarland?

    Chest injury? Are his man boobs sagging to the point of causing discomfort? Get in shape and get healthy or get the heck out of town! :flirt:

  3. TD - stripped of personnel but still managing the books

    I don't get this at all. Regardless of his title, TD was hired because of his football expertise and if RW feels he has failed in this regard, get rid of him. I'm not paying him all that money to oversee the "business" side of the house.

  4. He is quick and elusive but never had "blazing speed"    He is fast but not the fastest guy on the team.  He will reain a very good punt returner and a good weapon offensively, but never more than a third/slot receiver because of size.  And that's fine.

    It's the elusiveness that I'm waiting to see. Being able to run quickly in a straight line isn't being elusive. Maybe next year he will be more elusive. :D

  5. naw, not really.  The elusiveness isn't there so much at the NFL level, but at least he has hands.  Antonio Brown couldn't catch a cold.

    I should have phrased my originial post differently. My comparison is more of a guy who has good(not great) straight ahead speed and goes down very easily. Not so much of a comparison as to how he can catch the football.

  6. Am I the only one not impressed by RP's so-called blazing speed? I believe there was one kick or punt return yesterday where he appeared to be caught from behind by a LB. I don't see any elusiveness from him on the passes he has caught or the kicks he has returned and because he is 170 lbs. soaking wet, he can't break any tackles and goes down easily.

     

    I know it is only his first year, but I don't see anything special about his future. He probably would have been a better pick for the Rams in their wide open offense.

     

    Remind anyone of Antonio Brown?

  7. If TD is so good a promoting the Bills and getting people to buy tickets we should keep him in that position. However, if a change needs to be made I think we should get rid of his GM title and get someone new. There are some negatives to this, but it could be seen as a compromise position after this horrible season.

    RW is paying TD a boatload of cash to build a football team, not to sell tickets. That's where his so-called expertise is. TD got the title of President so that he wouldn't have to answer to anyone but the 80+ year old owner of the team. I have no proof of this, but I bet TD does not have a lot to do with the non-football day-to-day operations. I'm sure there are plenty of qualified staff in the front office that take care of this.

     

    TD has had 5 years to land this team in the playoffs and has failed miserably. Time for him to move on.
