IMO, April and ST is a prime example of how the Bills have been operating - with no clear direction - and I have no problem with it changing. Yes, it's nice to have top ranked ST year in and year out. However, I'd rather have a top 10 offense and defense. So, I have no problem cutting April loose if it helps bring in a better HC who keeps players based on their ability to contribute to the offense or defense, as opposed to the ST. I really love how Ralph says he's clearing house, half the postsers don't believe him; then he does. And now half the posters are upset about it. It continues to prove the theorem that you can make some people happy some of the time, but all the people you can make.. errr.. the happy people are sometimes.. uhh .yeah we're all happy. strategery. ....or something like that.

So you thought the Bills were going to draft him?

If I had a friend that told me this.... I'd get new friends.

Billick just said, on NFL Network, The Coaches Show, that he has not benn contacted by the Bills. He said the Bills, like all teams, need to figure out what type of team and system they want first; then determine a coach that best fits that. He had a "good marriage" in his first job in Baltimore, so he knows pretty well the type of system that he wants to run. edit: yeah, what he said...

I'm sorry. I thought you said a coach on the Bills' staff was over working the players? There's absolutely no evidence that anyone on the team worked too much; if anything, I'd say underworked. I do agree. The players need more rest and recovery. But, I'm not ready to put any blame on OTA's. Unless they're doing alot of hitting and running that they don't video tape, but I've never even seen them raise a sweat in the OTA sessions. They're certainly not doing any hitting.

I really hope Perry doesn't interview for the job. I like the guy too much to see him go to Oakland.

Just reported on ESPN Sportscenter. Said Fewell still in the mix to be interviewed.

11/20, I suck the best.

No coach has won the SB with 2 teams. I might take a chance on a Shanny or Cowher, but I can't see Coughlin being the guy that does it. So, I'd say pass. Plus, his team has completely quit on him. So, what's that say about him as a coach? So, I'd pass.

Unless I'm mistaken (and I'm sure someone will correct me if I am), but the Bengals play the Jets if they lose or they play the Texans if they win. Given the 2 choices... I'd lose.

Yes, the team is in poor shape. We all know that. We get it. They haven't made the playoffs in a decade; they're blowing up the FO, coaching staff, and likely the roster; this season concludes yeat another year of sucktitude. However, do we need all that shoved down our throats every single day? They just played a fun game; got Fred Jackson his 1,000 yard season; got TO his 3rd place on the WR list; the fans are great for supporting this team in the weather like they do. There are some positives to talk about after today's game. So why not take a day and do that? That doesn't change anything about how bad the Bills have been nor how much overhauling they may still have ahead of them. It just means there's a time and place for everything. And, IMO, tomorrow would be a good tiem to talk about the great play of Fred Jackson; the heart Kyle Williams showed; the greatness of the fans out in that stadium; or some other such positive story.

But I've heard of him.

For all the being down on TO and he failed to produce talk... TO was our leading receiver this year in yardage, and had 6 TDs (5 receiving, 1 rusing) to Lee's 7 TDs. So, how much of it was TO and how much was it just the Bills being the Bills. Personally, I wouldn't mind it one bit if TO was back next year.

Way to go, TO!

Lighten up. If you can't enjoy a football game in the snow, in Buffalo, with Jackson getting 200+ yards rushing; what's the point of even watching? We know you want to evaluate players for next year so you can decide who to cut; but there's a whole season of tape for that.

Congratulations Freddie!!

I'm pretty sure you're exaggerating.

Who the cares! I'm loving this game!

Good point. I'd still like to see Brohm in the 2nd half.

Keep feeding Freddie! Get him that 1,000.

They really need to sit Fitzy or not let him throw. He just doesn't have the mustard to throw in the wind.

Gotta give 'em props... they had one goal - get Clark and Wayne 100 catches, each. They did just that with screens and dump offs, but they accomplished their goal.

Gotta love Freddie! They better try damn hard to get him his 1,000 yards.

Well... don't look at John for help with that.

Rewatch the Press Conference. Ralph clearly states, multiple time, that Nix is incharge of all things football. Brandon is in charge of all things non football. So, Nix will select the players and coaches that he wants. Russ' involement will most likely be limited to salary structures and the administrative aspects of hiring/firing them. Granted if Nix wants to hire someone that want more cash than Russ is approved to spend, they'd have some discussions; but I can't see Russ disapproving the candidates for any other reason.
