JOHNNYFAIRPLAY

Love this thread, but unless Ralph dies there will be a nobody head coach in this job...that is, IF DJ gets fired. In Ralphs perspective, he keeps his overhead down by paying DJ pennies, adds guys like TO for a year, and some other type of gimic he can come up with to keep selling tickets. The Bills are not the most profitable, but make no mistake about it, they ARE profitable. Ralph doesnt care about the team winning or losing. He's running a business, which is still profitable. Win or lose, they're profitable and thats all that counts to him. I say, dont expect any major coaching change anymore this year. Just my opinion.

New OC is the biggest reason for the mediocre start. Things are falling into place for DJ at this point, but IMO he should be released now. PF should also be released, this defense could run itself and PF is in the way. ...there's roughly 16 coordeinators making more than DJ. Ralph is extrememly cheap, every decision he makes is based on how much money he "doesnt have to" spend, firing DJ is totally moot. Bad as it sounds, ownership is just as much to blame for this team not winning. Great he started the team...what have you done for me lately.

I will start by saying, you really dont get it. My guess is you have a 10th place ribbon somewhere in your box of childhood junk. 7-9 and 0-16 = THE SAME RESULT (no playoffs). Really man, what part of that dont you get? The only reason anyone plays the regular season is to make it to the playoffs, for a shot to make the superbowl. Please.......please tell me you understand that.

naah, its over your head Gringo

1. As 7-9 is Greater than 0-16, they both give the same result = Losing season and no playoffs...does having a couple wins make you feel better? Because that is the only difference in those two records. 2. Proactive would be A. Firing the coaching stafff B. Cutting McKelvin. Both show losing is not tolerated and we're fixing things now, rather than in the off season. Either way, its going to be hard to get a good coach in here because Im under the impression that RW just doesnt care.

That is funny. Guys, I think McKelvin bringing it out was the right call. However, before McKelvin steps on the field, DJ tells April, "You tell him, to run it out of the endzone, horizontally to kill 6 seconds. One of two things will happen next, one of the Pats will get close enough to touch him, or 6 seconds will run off the clock, either way, FALL DOWN and lay there until he hears a whistle." If that happens, the bills win the game due to being up two scores, NE having 3 TO's. That didnt happen, and its this type of mistake that in consistently made. It sounds crazy, but I could have won that game as a coach by doing exactly what I typed above. If I could have won, with no experience and NFL head coach, how can we justify continuing a season knowing the staff will not allow us to win? (I think Van Pelt should stay, not because I'm a homer, but because he is a good coach and hasnt proved otherwise) Its just been too long, and too much losing and I am for the most extreme measures to be taken.

Good point, but here's the counter-point. 1.) 7-9 or 0-16 --->Does any of it matter if you dont make the playoffs? The answer is no. 2.) You have to look at the total body of work. DJ has been given plenty of time, he has proven he can not win and can not get to the playoffs. So, who would come to an organization thats so commiitted to winning......that they fired their coach and are looking for a winner. The answer is a Winner, and thats all I want, playoffs and winning. What do you think Caveman?

All of those, 100 times more interesting than another losing boring "i already know whats going to happen" season....and 60-9...really? I would have given you 60-3, but not 9.

what part of "we lost so fire everyone" dont you get? its an opnion. start your own thread praising the new dline coach...I will not post on it.

Again, when you are at the absolute bottom (ie have not been to the playoffs in forever), which is where the Bills are, HOW CAN IT POSSIBLY GET ANY WORSE? Still not one person on this board has been able to answer that question. Stop wasting your time trying to justify losing.

Well put. This guy gets it.

"Who do you recommend get the axe? Bobby April for his guy bringing the ball out of the end zone? Perry for having the same defense called in the same situation that NE scored the first one on? Dick Jauron for being Dick Jauron? What do you think the major benefits are for switching these individuals now? I've noticed this habit on the board... the SECOND somebody has a different idea on a topic they are called an idiot, and no opposite argument is provided. It's simply 'you don't agree with me?! you're obviously stupid!' People are way too eager to try to prove their superiority over others, and you just look ignorant because of it. Explain your point in a different way and let them know WHY you think their idea is not the proper course. " Timba - I believe the best way to start is to dismiss DJ. Like Schottenheimer was released for not being able to win in the playoffs. DJ showed he has no control of this team. McKelvin is programmed to catch the ball and run as fast as he can. DJ is responsible for making sure the right move is made, relaying that to the (in this case) Special Teams coach, who then gives the order to the player (if the player goes rogue, then he should be released). He did not do this in this case. He has proven that he can not win in games like this...which ultimately determines whether or not you make the playoffs or have a successful season. He can not do either, thus he should be removed. Look at it this way...whether or not you all want to admit it, this entire season is a total wash because the Bills will not make the playoffs (you'll kick yourself in December when that becomes more evident)...so, the Bills can begin the process now, lose big and hope for a big draft pick, or maybe win something like 5 games, and just keep Joe Fan waiting to see what happens. Personally, I prefer sooner than later, it demonstrates to me that the organization wants to "FIND" a way to win. And they cant win with this coaching staff. May sound drastic, but if it were me, I would dismiss the entire coaching staff other than Van Pelt... and start over...yes, in the beginning of the season. Just My Opinion, and yes, if you dont agree with me I tend to believe you're an idiot.

Now that is funny...i just laughed out loud.

What this says to me is, if you lose a game like that, its ok. There will be no message sent to the team or choaching staff. Good showing though.

I hope you took that bet because NE is going to winn by minimum 21 points. This game is going to be very very ugly.

Im glad Schonert got canned. That guy totally sucked ass from the beginning. DJ should get $hitcanned too, he brought that dirtbag in, and he's awful. I would like to go into the season like the last game from Friday Night Lights, players as coaches. ..ps..if you didnt get my point, this coaching staff is worse than the worst than the worst high school football team's in the area.

Who cares if he's a scumbag? Guy can play and he's good. As much as I would love to see that trade, we're in no need of a wide receiver. We need an O-Line, and possibly a QB.

I'll say it 7-9 I dont see them beating anyone but possibly KC. True, they may steal 1 or 2 from the Jets, but it looks doubtful.

Yeah good idea dork...then you would only have the same $hitheads starting posts FOREVER. You should be suspended for suggesting that.

boring post and even more boring opinion....i blame the coach for his short comings and you blame the players for the teams down comings....chicken and the egg. you're looking for an argument, not what made me think that 7-9 was underachieving. BORING

Awful grammar and spelling...but this cat is right on in my opinion.

What if Crabtree goes back into next years draft (unlikely I know, but humor me)?

Orakpo...he's better. I like Maybin, but he's sooooooooooooo un-proven. But yes, Orakpo is a better player......we'll see.

no, you're wrong. he is a tier 1 RB. no offense.
