Most likely senerio
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to DIE HARD 1967's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Actually TD was the president, big difference. RW could stil lbe the president, or he makes Brandon president, this way not all the power with one person. Or the new guys is VP of football operations and Brnadon is VP of business operations?? -
To say they are honoring it could simply mean they are not going to try to pull an Al Davis or a RW (see Wade Phillips) and pay him for the next two years but still fire him. Unles they clearly have told DJ he's not coming back, what else could they say.

An Alternate Theory on Jauron's "Extension"
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to MRM33064's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'd rather see John Guy get the boot first before Modrak -
Jauron will get fired, right? RIGHT?
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to deep2evans's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It was interesting on the pre-game coverage, the "Round Table", Kelso implied that the Bill's have a rather lax dress code for road games. He then went on to say what you do during the week is reflected on Sundays. Later on they talked about the intensity of the Steelers practices and training camp compared to the Bill's. Which again goes along the lines of something the players would like. Don't tell me what to wear, let's have easy practices, etc. Kelos again stated that usually doesn't make for a good team. -
Has Detroit clinched #1 yet? How high can we go? Can we get to #4? I hears there's a good RT from Texas available.

Official BUF@NYJ game thread
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to stuckincincy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's kind of funny, alot of the complaints thowards TE were about all the dumpoffs. JP is now doing the same. Well last year people hoped that JP would have learned something from TE while TE was starting. Then JP came in and didn't do things any different than prior. Apprently this year he did learn watching from the bench! So now we have two if the same at QB -
And where do he come from? They don't grow on trees! 2/3 of the teams in the league have suspect QB play at best. Any of the really good QB's never see the light of free agency. Get a rookie to come in? Look at how good the kid in Baltimire and Atlanta are doing? Maybe those two teams got lucky and will join the list of teams with a good QB. However first lets see how they look in 1 to 2 years. Sometimes guys come in their 1st year and look good, then go down hill after that. While Anderson wasn't a rookie last year in Cleavland, it was his first year starting and what happened to him this year. It's much easier to find a bad QB than a good one. No one knows for certain where TE will fall out, but before you give up on him, you need to be certain he isn't the answer. So far he's looked too good in some games to give up on him. I think you need to figure out how he can look so good then so bad. As has been suggested, teams gave him new looks that he couldn't figure out. I can't believe he's not smart enough to figure it as as one thing he did seem to be is smart. Could it be the coaching hasn't done a good job to teach him how to resolve these problems? Is it too much to expect a 2nd year QB to change his game around in mid season? While a 8 or 10 year vet likely can change quicker maybe it requires an off-season of film work and review for him to figure it out. I'm certain the Bill's will have a new #2 next year, it might be a vet who can help TE, maybe if TE looks terrible again, you'd even start the #2, but I'd be shocked whomever the coach/players are next season that TE isn't the #1 guy going into camp, unles the Bill's were to get someone like maybe a McNabb. But I'd rather see them spend the money on a Julous Peppers type of player first as they have many other bigger needs.

Neither did Bill Parsells prior, o the two guys before that. If you want a guy with winning playoof experience (i.e. above .500% playoff record) the list gets very short.

I don't think we are that bad....
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to jonramz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Let's see how Ryan plays in another year. Rookies often look better than they do in the second year as teams figure them out. I think that's one of the prtoblems TE needs to overcome I think this team does have an identity. They emulate DJ very well. Typically I tend to lean towards not making radical changes, and I'm not expecting to have a pro-bowler at every position. But at this point, I think DJ should go. However if RW is just going to bring someone else in for the min salary which likely means minimul experience, then I'd just as soon give DJ another year. As everyone has stated, when you switch coaches, you start over and no sense starting over with someone who has no proven track record. I'm not in favor of Bobby Apriil either as he likely may be another example of a great corodinator, poor HC. Could be wrong, but I'd rather not find out. -
At the time it was expected that one Crowell was OK to play the Bill's would give him an injury settlement and release him. (which I don't believe is just an option on the part of the Bill's, thye are required to do this if he's medically cleared. That never happened which makes me wonder if he still isn't OK. Two or more weeks later he still didn't have the surgery, so there was alot more to this. Seemed like once Crowell was on his own nickel (so to speak) he was going in other directions again.

Is there a chance that Edwards..
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to canbuffan34's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Wow, I must have missed them!! Or were you referring to the int in the endzone and the four sacks? I certainly admit TE played terrible in the Cleveland game and the NE game and did pretty much nothing. But in both the Jets and the first Miami game, while TE had some costly turnovers, he also moved the chains and got many first downs. Considering they had absolutley no running game in either of those two games, I think he did pretty well excluding the turnovers. Granted the turnovers were big, and may have been the difference in the game, but TE still did do many good things. JP did nothing in any of the games he's played this season. Last season at least JP had a couple good games and made some plays. Sunday he did nothing. On Sunday JP had two passes over ten yards, was 13 of 27 for 127 and 13 first downs had a few decent scrambles, but also lost 44 yards in sacks. In the Miami game TE had 21 of 35 for 227 yards 19 first downs and in the Jet game 24 of 35 for 289 and 18 first downs. And yes he did have turnovers. -
Lose out and draft a franchise QB
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to jms62's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You're generous. Must be the holiday season! I wouldn't put Vick or Culpepper on the success list. Even without going to the dogs, Vick was a marginal QB, same with Culpepper. But I totally agree with the premise though that the odds of getting agood QB in the draft are low. That's the problem in the league, not enough good QB's to go around. I can think of a handfull of people playing today, picked high who were expected to do well and followed through on it. Both Mannings, Brees, McNabb, Palmer, Rivers, Peddington marginal. A list of people who have turned out to be very good but nothing expected of them prior to playing are as follows; Brady, Romo, Warner, Farve, Delhome, Rothesberger, maybe Culter, but too early yet for certain. -
Mort reporting on Jauron
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to lets_go_bills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm not saying DJ is a good coach or that we should keep him, but try to be accurate. He was asked about why he deferrs and he stated to the reporter asking the question: "I've told you before, we have our reasons, you can figure it out, other teams can figure it out if they want, but I'm not giving our reasons." To me that's a totally legit answer. Everyone here seems to think they are owed totally honest responses from DJ and everyone else and the team need to tell everything that's going on. Yes it would be nice, but not their job to do, or should they. -
She is RW's daughter, she is not the head scout, but last time I looked she was listed as a scout. Who knows it could be just a way for RW to give her a big allowance and call it a salary so he can write it off. Maybe after all these years she actually does a good job as a scout, or maybe she tries, turns in scouting reports, but they are all ignored?? I've never heard though of any comments that she demanded a player be picked and he was a complete bust. But she is not the head scout!

I've lost all respect for Vic Carruci
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to 1billsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
When DJ was asked about that, his response was along the lines of, you've asked me this before, and I've given you the same answer, so I don't think this was the first time it was brought up. It may have been the first time you heard it asked, but based on DJ's response it appeared he's grown tired of answering this question. -
Time to give up the ghost, Ralph.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Pine Barrens Mafia's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's funny in a bizarre way, It's sad, but it's true; asking the owner to please die. It is sad for RW that is what the fans of Buffalo think of him at this point. -
The "Official" Bills Gameday thread!!
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to SKOOBY's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well back then he was the hot name. Now it's a question of finding what a job with what ever team will hire him. He's not in the drivers seat like he was back then. Plus no idea how true that whole thing was or not about him not wanting to come here. It could have been TD not wanting to bring in a person who could stand up to him as has also been rumored. -
The "Official" Bills Gameday thread!!
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to SKOOBY's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That's one of the things they say will start happening as teams get more use to seeing the Wildcat. That's how teams will stop it by taking out the QB -
