Adam (Morgantown): Im just curious on what you think about the Eric Moulds situation in Buffalo and what you think they should do in the offseason as in changes in the fornt office and coaching staff?
Mort: If a player is reblling against his coach's authority, he should face a big fine and/or suspension. I would not make any changes with thr front office or the coach. I don't know how anybody there could have anticpated a collapse by a defense that was ranked No. 2 each of the last years in which 10 starters was returning.
Bill (Milwaukee, WI): Follow-up on the Moulds thing in Buffalo. If it was as simple as Moulds rebelling against Coach Mularkey, why not come straight out and announce it? Why use all the double talk in his press conference, and why wait until Ralph Wilson talks to Moulds, Coach Mularkey and Tom Donohoe??? Sounds like there's more to it to me....
Mort: I think suspension is an extreme penalty and that''s why the delay until Wilson talks to Moulds.
John (NY): J.P. Losman..overrated? under-developed? as people say...or is it time to cut losses(example: Mike Williams) and re-build a O-Line that can get the job done as Drew is in Dallas? Or do the coaches need to make adjustments?
Mort: There seems to be a lot of positive word on Losman based on how he's looked the past two or three games.
Brad (Albuquerque): Doesnt Moulds have a right to grips about play calling though?..I mean Mularkey's supposed to be an offensive coach and he allowed yet another loss they should've won.
Mort: He absolutely has the right to gripe but he does not have the right to refuse to play when he is healthy. And even as a member of the media, I would say that griping is always done better in private, face-to-face. Moulds didn't even show up for a scheduled meeting Monday with Mularkey.
sean (ny): Mort,what do you think is going to happen with buffalo CB Nate Clements for next season?
Mort: I don't know. Scouts say he's not having a very good year but he is a corner with skill and those guys are valuable. I'm anxious to see if the Bills let him become a free agent.
Mark (Chicago, IL): Does Tom Donohoe get a free pass from ESPN because he used to work for them and Millen used to work for Fox so he gets raked over the coals by you guys?
Mort: That must be it. I will say that I have a lot of respect for Donohoe because I know how thorough he is and I know that the Bills' roster of talent is exteremly well-respected. Tom was only at ESPN for a half-year and we basically saw him briefly but it was enough to develop that respect. The Millen reference to Fox is silly.

Mark (chicago IL): Mort maybe I am a bitter Bills fan because the team has is being mentioned in the same sentances with Arizona and Houston. All I know is that the Bills could have had AJ Smith instead they went with Donohoe.
Mort: AJ Smith chose to go with john Butletr to San Diego and Ralph Wilson also was looking for a CEO type along with a football man. Under Donohoe's supervision, the Bills' marketing has had great results. And I have never heard the Bills mentioned in the same breath with Arizona and Houston, even though they had an awful, awful loss Sunday.

"However, sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen that Moulds was a no-show for a mandatory meeting with Mularkey on Monday."
I think that explains the suspension...
-
Seriously though, whatever is going on between the Head Coach and Moulds may be about to blow up in Mularkey's face. I can't believe that the end result of all this is a meeting between Ralph and Moulds. Can you imagine? Ralph may just ask Moulds what the hell is wrong with the team, and Moulds is gonna tell him that Mularkey's play-calling is ridiculous, that the vets have no faith in their coach, etc. This can't be the scenario Mularkey envisioned when he decided to confront Moulds - Moulds getting a private meeting with Ralph to air his grievances.
Stay tuned.

Isn't it telling that MM doesn't even have the final say re: suspensions?
-
Worst coach in football not named "Tice." Where do you people get these ideas?
-
Question: What to Tom Modrak and Tom Donahoe have in common?
Answer: Both of their former teams went on unprecedented runs of success immediately following their departure.
Also, Donahoe's ego is too big for that kind of demotion.

Heh. This week it was Sage, last week it was Peppers...

Whatever dude. It's a play-action pass from the goal line. Every fuggin team does it. There is a lot to blame this coaching staff for, but calling that play wasn't the problem. Don't throw the goddamn interception.
-
Will he be one of the fixture ESPN analysts, sitting at the table with Boomer and Mel? Or will he be one of their "on call" analysts whom they'll cut away to from time to time? Will they have him comment when the Bills pick? I wonder.
-
A top-notch GM (Pioli, Wolf) will cost Ralph over $3-$5 mil per year.
Good luck with that.
-
Yeah, like the Sabres, I wouldn't mind if the Bills went away for a year or two...
-
Draft Bush, trade McGahee for another 1st rounder.

-
Um, what about the loyal FANS that are getting mugged by this franchise year in year out?
-
Other.
He will write that Ralph should fall on his sword like a samurai.
-
Please stop.
Please.
Yes, this was a terrible loss. Yes, it is inexcusable.
But do we really need to start insulting Satan?
-
Definitely agree with this one. Don't people realize that it's better for him to make mistakes like this in a garbage year than in a playoff game??

HA! It dawned on me why TD wants to go to St. Louis - that's the only division he's posted a winning record against. Go ahead Tom, go to the worst division in football and try to revive your reputation. Ass.
