You don't dump coaches after one game. You can, however, dump players. I hope they bring in an O lineman and cut Ducasse. Let Tiller start. Maybe Bodine at C and Groy at the other G.

I am not one to go off the rails and demand firings and so on. But they deserve whatever criticism they get for today.

Liked: Allen and Edmunds Didn't like: The O line. Worse than I could have imagined. The D line and lack of pass rush. Wonder about: How McD will respond. I hope he sends a signal to his team that the kind of effort shown is inexcusable. If I were him I'd cut Ducasse or Lacey (jumping offside on a punt is ridiculous) and send a message.

Well, I've watched since 1960 and I don't remember a worse one

No I am not. I am asking why some folks are negative all the time. After today? Of course they deserve it. Not through the entire offseason.

You are just a whiner waiting to criticize. Justifiable criticism was earned today. Enjoy bashing them; it's what drives you and others.

Doesn't change at all. We stunk today. Still no reason for some posters to do nothing but post negatives. The question is why.

White, Allen Edmunds. Fine by me

I watched them in the last 60's-early 70's, and the bad years in the 80's. I don't think I've ever seen a worse performance.

Murphy's on a play count. Time for Shaq to step up

Cyrus Kouandijo. Done.

Yes, it is a chess game.

Quick drops, quick throws. Delays, draws. Be interesting to see what Daboll draws up.

He is being negative just to be negative. Have you read his takes about how the Pegulas deliberately want them to be bad just to make money? "A virtually talentless roster that is going to take years to rebuild if it ever does" That is hardly a cogent argument, nor analytical, nor a reasoned prediction

Fans don't have to always be negative either

Is there anything about the Bills that you like? Has there ever been anything about the Bills that you like? You don't let player walk away in free agency. They are in the open market and some want to move for a variety of reasons.

You picked some inane time period for some reason. But I'll play along. Levy still fits. Coughlin with Jacksonville and the Giants. Gibbs. The point is that successful teams get s HC and front office that have a philosophy of play, and they then are diligent in getting the right players and right locker room mentality to carry out the plan. That is a timeless way of building a winning organization, whether it be football or a widget factory. I take it coaching and management in general isn't your strong point.

Too broad perhaps. I know I don't. Just do it professionally.

The sad thing is when he'd write about non-Bills/Sabres stuff he was pretty good. He just couldn't control his nonsense with the pro teams.

What you absolutely refuse to understand is that it is not being critical, it is the irritating, smug, self-important attitude of Sullivan that is the issue. The Bills were bad to terrible back in the day and guys like Felser and Kelly would roast them. But they did not resort to the sarcastic nonsense and smugness and insulting tone of your boy. You clearly like the guy. Clearly some don't. And people like me who don't are not going to change their mind because you say he should.

No one has an issue with columnists being critical in my opinion. They do have a problem with criticism being overly snarky and resorting to childish personal insult. That was Sullivan to me. I have read his stuff about the Bills and Sabres, I have read and heard him be insulting to anyone who dared to disagree with him. So I have no desire to listen any more to him or read any more from him about the Bills.

If Sullivan thinks he's going to be real popular and make a good living at this new gig, I think he's mistaken.

And I read an article on si.com yesterday that the young CBs the Eagles have are good enough to where they can release Darby, so there you go. I got ripped by some for posting a thread last week asking why some folks are here is they can't say anything good about the team. This guy is Exhibit A.

I wish I knew how to find and post things from movies etc. But I think of the scene in Animal House with Otter and one of the sorority girls when she looks at Otter and says: Otter, you're weren't that good. jerry, you weren't that good.

Fielder could write negative things about the Bills without. resorting to personal attacks and cheap shots. Sullivan can't. He used to have a column where he'd address fans' questions and if he didn't like something he just write back childish insults. I liked some of his work like when he'd write about golf or the Olympics. When it came to the Buffalo sports teams he'd come across as petulant and insulting, and inconsistent. He'd be critical if the Bills didn't do X, then if they did do X he'd blast them for doing so. Felser was the epitome of a good columnist. Jerry, you're no Larry.
