Who is this Powell guy?

Oh my...I'm sure his teammates are motivated to get Maybin that party he deserves.

Tashard wouldn't be my first choice either (see what I did there?), but in my opinion at this point the "right guy to do it" is the guy that actually does it! If the players are too close, SOMEBODY'S got to step up and tell the emperor he has no clothes. I honestly don't know why Gailey hasn't lit into the team - even if it's out of character for him, he still needs to push the buttons the TEAM needs pushed, even if it's not what he likes to do.

I don't understand the 365 day-a-year fascination with the draft. I think some people would rather have their team draft well than do well in the actual NFL season. The draft is a means to an end folks, it's week 6 of the NFL season!

I don't understand how anyone could feel comfortable in a place like that. To each his own I guess.

Let's be honest, Freddie did look stunningly, alarmingly slow last week. I can only hope that it's due to the knee brace. The fact that he's talking about hopefully getting it off this week tells me that the brace IS an issue for him.

I really like Stevie's competitive fire and unwillingness to settle for bad play. He has implied recently that he wants to show more of this but is being tamped down by someone. I find it surprising that more players on this team don't have Stevie's attitude. With the Merriman and Moorman releases, Buddy has established that you perform or you are gone no matter who you are, and I would think that would help build an impatient mindset among more of the players.

Cool. I just ordered the book from Amazon. Whenever I return to Buffalo, I always find it bittersweet, so I'm looking forward to reading this.

If there was greasing going on, the Bills would DEMAND a new stadium. Simple as that.

It's sad that being a Buffalonian or being a Bills fan means always having to look BACK IN TIME for the glory days. Is anyone else tired of that?

Explain to me how Ralph gets the blame this year. Leading up to this year we had the contracts to Fitz, Freddie, Chandler, Stevie, Urbik, and Kyle Williams, plus the free agent additions of Mario and Anderson. Mario gets the largest contract of any defensive player EVER. What bigger commitment are you looking for?

Wow, you are making quite a leap here. Have any evidence to support this? Especially when Moorman himself said earlier in the week that he thought the Bills were looking to make a change for awhile? http://www.buffalonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20121006/SPORTS/121009405/two-bills-drive

"Refund, please."

A collage coach - is that like an art teacher? Someone who's willing to be innovated? Does it hurt to be innovated? Hot assistance? I don't even want to know.

Making light of the punter change is a cheap shot in my opinion. It's much easier to plug in a new P and upgrade the position on the fly than it is the QB, HC or Def. Coord. positions. You upgrade where you can, when you can. Does it fix much in the big picture? No, but that's no reason not to make the move. Powell is doing better than Moorman did.

Whitner is simply incapable of conducting an interview without pointing the finger at somebody for something. It's just who he is. This time, Whitner calls out the Bills coach and management, but in my opinion Gailey has been very gentle, to the point of being OVERLY gentle with his comments about the players. To the point of enabling bad performances. Look at what Gailey has said about Mario's play - "he's playing as hard as he can, he's being double teamed" etc. And Gailey always deflects media criticism directed at a specific player by saying "I can coach better". I think this reflects either a high level of humility or a lack of confidence, but either way on a losing team it projects weakness - certainly not the type of coaching personna that a player would run through a wall for. Today's analysis by Gailey that the players are "hurting" is looking really, really soft. Gailey likes to say football is a tough game for tough people, but when you have Gailey saying "I can coach better" and Wannstedt saying "I was up all night wondering if we should have run our base 4-3", it's no wonder the players have no belief. This is stinking from the top down.

Let's hope it's the knee brace. But yes, he's clearly much slower out there.

If you were at the Pats* game last week, you saw Kyle Williams gather the team at midfield before the game and he was extremely animated and fiery. They proceeded to win the first half, then got crushed.

Agree 100%

What do ya'll make of our last two losses - specifically the fact that we were "competitive" in the first half then the bottom drops out in the second half? Coaching? Lack of adjustments? Lack of belief/mental toughness by players after adversity?

This is actually not a bad idea. At a minimum, bring Polian in as a consultant.

Do you really want Ralph more involved?

Who do you go with? Bob Sanders?

No question that JerryWorld is excessive but have you ever been to Texas Stadium? It was a dump.

I want someone under 40.
