1247 yards in a 16 game season isn't so great. averages out to about 78 yards per game. 1000 yards should no longer be the measuring stick for a good or better running back. I can think of several times when he was stuffed on successive carries for no gain. Granted the OL is poor at best, but great backs find a way to gain yards when they have to. His attitude is questionable at best. Personally I'm wondering if McGahee will ever be any better than he is now. He shows no ability to break the long run and doesn't seem to have gotten his speed back after the injury. He doesn't make people miss, he runs through them sometimes. He just might be a Travis Henry clone without the fumbles. I think next year will be the proving ground. The OL should be better, I'm guessing the play calling will be better and then there will be excuses. He either shows or doesn't.

I figured I would turn on WGR this morning to here Simon hold intelligent conversation about what took place yesterday. Sadly it appears Simon has fallen to the depths of the Dope and the poodle. All I heard for 20 minutes as how old Ralph is and how old Marv is and how at that age they can do little more than wet themselves and due to their age they have no idea how to run a football team. Man was I dissappointed. Howard say it isn't so!!!!! You've succumbed to the mindless type of babble that the dope and the poodle are the poster boys for!!!!!

Levy will have a role, whether it is GM or not is to be determined, because Ralph wants someone he trusts to tattle on the boys in buffalo while he is in Detroit. Levy knows how to handle Ralph. This is good and will give the GM (whoever it is), Modrak and MM much more leeway in their decisions in the long run. Modrak was kept because he has a proven record as a talent evaluator. Working with Levy and a GM or just Levy makes for a good combination. Modrak and Levy decide who to get and Levy sells it to Ralph. Malarkey was kept........................ because....................................... I can't figure this one out. I don't believe the money theory or the Levy said so theory or the theory that Ralph likes him. Maybe by having MM get rid of enough coaches Ralph believes the ship can be righted. So far so good I'd say. Yes he could have swept house, but every coach who has experience has been let go at one time or another or they wouldn't be looking to land with the Bills.

Haslett wouldn't be a bad option. People become better at what they do when they like who they work for and I think that applies to football immensely. HC for the Bills is reportedly Haslett's dream job. Give me an employee who believes his job is his dream job and you have just increased the chance of succeeding.

It doesn't matter how old someone is. It matters if they can do the job or not. I have worked with many people who are much older than I and were also much better at what they did than those who were half their age. If they cna do the job, hire 'em.

I'd trade willis, our first rounder and a third to get the top overall pick. Willis has proven that he isn't a great back by his attitude and his lack of production this year. He'll probably be a decent back at some point, probably like top 10-15 but that is about it. Where bush has the chance to be great. It would be a great chance to upgrade a position that needs to be upgraded.

What have we learned?!!!!!! Lot's I'd say. We know the defense is bad and needs to be rebuilt. We know that the OL is bad and needs more talent. We know that McGahee is not a top five running back and looks more like T. Henry than L. Thomlinson. We know that JP Losman won't be ready for another 2-3 years. We know that Holcomb is serviceable as a "don't lose it QB" but won't win the SB anytime soon. We know the coaching staff thinks too much. We know Wilson is concerned about the state of his football team. i.e. the Moulds debacle. Whether that translates into changes will be answered next year. We know N. Clements is not good enough to be paid the highest of all CBs. We know M. Williams isn't good enough to be paid his salary. Lastly, the team is a wreck happening right in front of us and only major changes will make it better.

I've read this same comment many times here and had to look the stats up to see the comparison of Manning and Losman. It looks like JP has more experience this year than Manning did last year. You might have a point that Mannings experience came all in one shot. However, that argument is weak at best and probably irrelevant. Unless of course Losman's short term memory is very poor and he can't remember from snap to snap. Sometimes it has looked like that this year. In any event Losman won't be ready next year either. Manning was a better QB coming out of college. I'm thinking it will be another 1 or 2 years before Losman is competent enough to get to the playoffs. If your the Bills coach, just how much patience can you afford to have? The Bills better have plan B available just like this year cause JP ain't ready and won't be for some time.

Of that group I'd probably take Saunders for the following reasons: 1. past head coaching experience. His record wasn't very good with SD. With the experience he has gained as an assistant in the years since, the second time around just might increase the chances of success. 2. He has a super bowl ring. He's been there done that and has the ring to prove it. 3. The chiefs offense has been good for sometime. He knows how to use a running back (Holmes and Johnson). 4. He's old which means he has experience. Enough of the flash in the pan coordinators. 5. He's an offensive guy. If the team is going to win soon it will need to be on the backs of the offense. Losman, McGahee, Evans, Parrish, Moulds (or his replacement) The defense has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they can't do it and it needs a major overhaul.

Did you get into the game? Did you get to see a "game"? (Ok...I'll use the term "game" loosely.) Then you got everything you paid for. Simply as a matter of common decency you do not have the right to bring any type of sign berating someone or something into the stadium. Legally you don't have the right either. It's not about who owns the stadium but who owns the product. The product is owned by the Buffalo Bills and the NFL. They can pretty much do anything they want, i.e. pat downs being the current prime example.

I hope Irvin is gone for good. He adds little or nothing to the show and he's a multi time loser. There has to be somebody who can take his place and actually contirbute to the show.

I used to think that Donahoe was here for life as the team would do just well enough no matter what. Well yesterday's debacle maybe the start of changing my mind on this. The article in the News yesterday also helps. Generally, articles like that don't get written unless there is some truth to it. I'm thinking the scenario proposed in that article is plausible and I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen no matter how well/poor the team does the rest of the season. I also don't think RW will clean house right now. The best chance any franschise has of becoming competitively quickly is to build from within to keep some semblance of continuity. Whole sale house cleanings will cause another 2-3 years out of the playoffs.

I gave up on the early shopping a couple of years ago. Usually if you check around you can buy the stuff at other times either at the same price or for just a few bucks more. This year I especially liked the woman who was tripped and when she hit the floor her wig came off. As two other people appeared to step on here she remained on the floor until she could retrieve her wig and place it back on her head. You can't make this stuff up no matter how hard you try.

If I were Philly I'd put his butt on the bench and leave him there. Make him dress and sit on the sidelines but the only way he would get on the field is during warmups and walking on and off the field. TO apparently still believes he controls his own destiny to the detriment of everyone else. Glue his butt to the bench then release him. The guy is so stupid he'd rant and rave and get his contract nullified and lose the money.

If I were performing poorly at my job, yes the boss should say or do something. However, that doesn't include calling a press conf and announcing to the world that my job performance has sucked for the last 11 weeks. Just imagine if everytime you made a mistake the replay was shown on every sports show for the next 48 hours. If you believe that is proper to motivate people, you'll be lookign for good people your entire life. It almost never pays to call a player out, release a coach or make negative comments during the season. A private conversation with the player by other players is by far the best way to improve the conduct of another player. Your examples read like a history book, except for Bellichick and I don't remember him ever doing it during the season. That said I agree that something has to be done, but just disagree with your means to the ends.

You expect him to say that not enough was done and that the buffoons they have on the OL and DL couldn't block there way out of a paper bag? You expect way too much. He will never say that during the season. He may never say it even if he thinks it. What good would it do? Nothing. No GM or coach in their right mind would ever rip their players to that extent in public. That would be suicide for the GM or coach and the end for the team itself. What is important is what TD believe behind closed doors. If he believes the lines are poor, they are half way to fixing them. If not, well...we'll see more of the same.

In no way are we stuck with Greer or King. It's called FREE AGENCY. started a couple of years ago. Clements will get 8-10M/year, just not from the Bills I hope. With that money the Bills can sign two players as good as Clements has proven to be and be way ahead on that deal.

If he were a rocket scientist, he wouldn't be writing newspaper columns and hosting talk shows. What he is is easy to listen to. Opinionated but not overbearing about it. If only his show was an hour earlier I wouldn't have to listen to the thoughtless and mindless babble that comes out of the Dope and the Poodle.

The Bills make the playoffs before TD leaves. Wilson loves him, the staduim is full, the money is rolling in. Most, if not all of his moves were the right ones and done without much questioning. ONly hindsight has shown that some of them may not be so good. Secondly, no one has ever offered up a realistic replacement that would be better. TD stays no matter how loud the fans yell.

I think Bosworth nailed it. A huge amount of hype (great defense, '85 Bears, etc.) and not much production. His career ended the night he went one on one with Bo Jacson at the 3 yard line and found himself on his butt 3 yards deep in the endzone. Kind of like the Bills defense being run over by LaMont Jordan and Curtis Martin in consecutive weeks.

Yeah right. The article is pure conjecture on Paul Hamilton's part. There are no sources sited, there are no insiders. It is pure opinion by Hamilton, completely and totally. Who says? Do you believe a sports reporter who works for one of the trashiest stations going or do you believe the Bills press releases? It is simple. Hamilton's article has one purpose and that is to contribute to the drive for ratings for WGR. It has nothing absolutely nothing to do with truth or accuracy. If you throw enough crap against the wall, something will eventually stick. It always amazes me the number of people that believe what the press writes now a days.

What difference does it make? The play of the QBs on this team has very little to do with how many games we win. Winning lies with the D. If they continue to play like they have the first half the offense will need to outscore a team to win. Not likely to happen. However, if the D can stiffen and limit teams to 20-25 points or less, we might have a chance. Big IF there though. This defense is just plain bad.

The reality is we have four options at QB and the only one of them that has shown a propensity to actually look like an NFL QB is Holcomb. He won't lead us to the Super Bowl or even the playoffs most likely, but he has a better chance than the others. Even if that isn't saying much. JP is lost right now and if he plays all hope of winning is lost. Matthews - There is a reason we hired him out of the unemployment line. Jason Peters - The guy hasn't had a chance and I'm not sure how he would do playing DL, LB, punt team, kickoff team, LT, TE and QB all in one game. I wonder if there has ever been a player who played every position on offense and defense and special teams in one game.

Well, now we'll see if the offense has it in 'em to come back and put their own td up.

rome has to be the cockiest guy I've ever seen who atagonized a fight and lost it with a guy named Everett. It's darn funny that everyone but him knows he's a sissy.
