I speak of the stench coming off lake Erie this coming Saunday.

Oh no... not me, that would be illegal. I don't want to go to jail and be some bad man's boyfriend.

What's the over/under number for arrests that will be made for fighting in the stands with Phin Phans this week if the Bills continue on their current path? I'm going with the over number.

Where the hell did you ever get the idea that Wade's team quit? I never bared witness to that. Wade's problem is he didn't place a high priority on special teams and never personally got involved with them. That, plus he was unwilling to step in and take control of internal player strife. Other than that, he did very well with the players that he was given.

Either one... it makes no difference. It is not a complicated game. He who controls the line of scrimmage controls the game (provided you don't turn the ball over... which, of course goes without saying). Obviously to play on the line you must have the size and some degree of athleticism. You must also have a mentality, and from there develop a synergy/chemistry. Pick 5 guys that have the attiitude and the will to get the job done. 5 guys that take pride in their craft enough to live in the film room, the weight room, and love to practice as well as play on Sunday. Add a position coach that knows something and one who his linemen hate to disappoint and this combination wins championships.

I believe he's in the last year of a 5 yr. contract. If that's the case, he's catching passes from Donavan McNabb next season.

Good point. Every time JP drops back to throw he draws even more criticism and, in a way is digging a deeper hole. The last time I looked, JP completed every handoff to McGahee that he attempted. Perhaps if you say you're going to be a physical smash mouth offense, you ought to walk that talk. If they're going to continue going with JP, it's got to be 3 yards and a cloud of rubber powder. TD's made his bed, now we've got to lay in it.

Unbelievable! Someone that actually knows a little something. I wonder if Teflon Tom would build his home without a foundation. Well, Year 5 of the Teflon Tom regime and his team is built without a foundation. You build your team beginning with the the front 5 on offense and the front four on defense. There is not one player on the offensive line that is close to pro bowl calibre. In fact, I'd put them all in the journeymen category. Mike Williams is easily the most disappointing 1st round pick since Walt Patulski. If the Bills can't get rid of him for salary reasons, maybe thay ought to move him inside where he's covered up. The kid hasn't played a full season yet. On the defensive front, kelsay, Schobel, Denney are average. Sam Adams is a lazy, fat role player who doesn't even play half of the defensive plays and a player that is rendered totally ineffective if there's not a better than average tackle next to him, ie John Randall, Tony Siragusa, Pat Williams.

Teague is a serviceable center. The caveat is that he must be flanked on the left by Orlando Pace and Alan Faneca. On the right he must be flanked by Will Shields and Jon Runyan.

Must be Tom didn't get the memo when he let Pat walk. I'll bet that he thought he could plug Ron right in there. Imagine that, Ron couldn't pick up the slack. I mean, how would have Tom known that... Ron's been around for 3 plus years and has lit it up. What an easy mistake to make. Whoda thunk it... return 20 of your top 21 defenders from one year ago and the number two defense in the NFL goes down the tubes. Must be Tom didn't watch the tape either.

The thought of Teflon Tom holding the #2 pick in his hand makes me ill. I don't know about you, but I've got no confidence that whatever he does with that pick would be the right decision. As I see it, this guy is basically a caretaker waiting for someone to come in and right the ship.

True, but Ortin plays on a better team.

This is the defacto coach speaking here. The problem is, everyone but him seems to be taking the bullets.

then what? TD brings in some other stiffs?

Money certainly is one component. But an even bigger component is having control over one's destiny. As long as Teflon Tom is in charge, the HC won't be in control and will have little control of who he can bring in and who he can get rid of. I thought Ralph was smarter than that... or maybe he doesn't care about Ws and Ls anymore... just the bottom $$$ line.

This team stinks!! However, the coach may stink too, but I can’t blame him because he has very little control of the players on the roster. I can just imagine MM trying to pull something like Nolan did list week, telling Winborn to pack up in leave. In fact, this reminded me of the Ruben Brown incident of a couple of years ago. GW probably wanted to send Ruben packing, but couldn’t … but it ultimately happened and the Bills still had to swallow whatever cap implications there were. Can you imagine a Bill Parcells, Bill Cowher, Dick Vermeil, Bill Belechik, or other experienced HC not having almost total control over their roster? Until the coach is given this type of control over the roster, you can expect this team to continue on the same path it’s headed… NOWHERE! This is not a team that GW built, this is not even a team that MM built. These two guys exist only to take the bullets for one of the biggest phonies this organization has ever seen the likes of. What’s worse is, he’s pulled the wool over Ralph’s eyes. And, you know whom I speak of.

If Teflon Tom is the best the bills can do, then it's sad. Perhaps Ralph likes puppets. Afterall, Ralph did fire the best GM the Bills ever had... and the only one with any balls whatsoever... Mr. Polian. There were guys out ther like Vin Ceratto, Phil Savage, Randy Mueller that would have done as good or better than Teflon. But then again... would Ralph butt out or even keep a good GM?

I already told you... game 8 and not a game sooner. I have no clue as to why no PUP.

Please... comparing Teflon Tom to one of the 10 best alltime college BB coach and hall of famer is not only blatently stupid, it's an insult. There ain't no one in the galaxy that could have accomplished what he has in the past 29 years in a venue such as Syracuse.

Dude... get a job.

or perhaps they perfer reality to fantasy. It's much easier to ignore the facts and believe that Teflon's record is 50-17 as opposed to what it really is and that the Bills are 3-0 rather than 1-2.

we need more important things, such as a "punt catcher" to spell Nate and Freddie.

imagine that... he's saying the same thing Deeray's been saying for the past year and a half... just a lot more quite polite and eloquent.

Well... after getting gashed for 500 yards on the ground in the past two weeks, the thought of the Bills defense going up against Duece McCallister (or even Duece Bigelow for that matter) does not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. As far as scoring 20 points? Can Lindell nail 7 field goals? Cuz JP aint gonna do it with his arm, and I'm pretty sure the Saints know that and they also know that #21 is their only threat.

No wonder we're ranked high in pass defense then... why would a team want to pass when all you have to do is hand the ball off and run through the matador defense.
