I feel like the bad play-calling occurred when Dick was the one making the final call (i.e., pass or run on 3rd and long in FG range). I seriously doubt those were Turk's calls. And who is to say that Turk will get fired? There's no evidence that he will.

How many times do they have to fire coordinators to realize where the problem is?

Hip hip

What is with this love for Martyball?

Do you root for the Blue Jays?

He was on the sidelines for at least part of the game.

I am not saying that he is a genius or not. I just would not assume he is stupid just because he was a student-athlete. For that matter, I would not assume the same of a student-athlete at other schools. I am not sure if his mistakes are a product of his intelligence anyway.

Ivy League sports are a little different.

If Piolli went to a place like Cleveland, I doubt it would help the Patriots, which is a victory in and of itself.

The announcers were acting like if you had the wind, those FGs were good by a mile in warm-ups.

I would not care much anymore. Perhaps I'd follow the Ravens (family roots in Maryland) or the Giants/Jets (next closest team, in-laws are fans).

To prove that how much he was responsible for the Patriots success. This is the same reason why a Josh McDaniels -- if he does not get a HC offer -- should consider being the OC elsewhere a la Marvin Lewis (Ravens --> Redskins).

I watched the whole season (absent the last half of this one because I was traveling) with him as a coach even when the team fell apart. Why would this change if he comes back? Further, who knows what kind of moves they will make in the off season. Compared to the Orioles (the only other team I closely follow) this team has a bright future.

What owner has ever pulled such a stunt? If he had done this, he would look erratic and classless.

The reason for Ralph Wilson changing coaches will probably be because he wants to win, not because he is worried about season ticket sales.

There's no reason why the Obama tax plan will affect Ralph Wilson's decision to sell the team. When he dies, his heirs will have a stepped up basis in the team, meaning the estate will pay taxes on the value of the team, but will not pay additional taxes on the huge capital gains Wilson has experience from the original purchase price. This gives Wilson every reason to hold on to the team until he dies. When the capital gains rates go up -- if they do -- this encourages owners who want to sell before they die to speed up their plans. However, the stepped-up basis rules are too valuable for Wilson to ignore them.

I don't know how good a HC he will be, but for some reason I feel like he would have good situational awareness.

I would have defended you, but then you post something like this. Learn some humility; your worth as a person is not based on how much you spend on a car.

I remember reading an article from a personnel guy about how he likes to pick free agents to sign. He said he looked at game tape of games that where the game was out of hand. On the team that was getting its tail whipped, he wanted to see who was still playing hard, who was still angry when the game was over. I recall one example of such a player was Lawyer Milloy. I will bet that players like Marshawn Lynch are not who Ross Tucker is talking about.

Anyone on the Bills like this? http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writ...akes/index.html

I was all about the whole fire Dick Jauron thing, but just now I was thinking. If you look at what fans and columnists say about the coaches of other teams, there are always game decisions that people second guess. I am not sure Jauron is any worse than anyone else. Maybe it's the fact that the Bills are a young team and young, inexperienced players commit stupid mistakes in crucial situations. Maybe this team is hurting for veteran leadership. I know people will bring up the Bears, but were they a veteran team? Just thinking out loud here.

What are you asking? Currently, Whitner is playing free and Scott is playing strong. Whitner has been covering the slot receiver on 3 WR sets and Ko Simpson has been coming in at free, but this apparently happened less yesterday.

Wasn't the 2007 Dolphins game a "cold-weather" game? There certainly was snow on the ground IIRC.

I believe he is an EFA

You misread my post. I was not talking about divisions generally, but rather having as many as the NFL now does.
