But how does that prove that these guys would have done any better in Buffalo? With the Bills O-line, can you honestly say that Lewis or Fox would have been any better. I don't see how anyone can know the answer to that other than trying to assume that all players are equal. A common theme I see in all sports are lousey teams that fire the coach, bring in all new players, three years goes by and they fire the new coach and get another and bring in more new players and they are still bad What's the comon thread? The GM! The Bill's were the same way till they brought in BP in the mid 80's. Then we became winners. Mary Levy got canned in KC, then went to Buffalo and goes to four Super Bowls. Did he really get smarter, or did he just have alot better talent? Scotty Bowman was a great coach in Montreal. He comes to Buffalo, becomes coach and GM, and pretty much does nothing. He remakes the team over two or three times with new players, and still does nothing. One difference was in Montreal, he was just the coach. The Giants were terrible for close to 20 years. The early 80's they bring in George Young and they become winners. Same way with the Mets of the mid 80's. They get a good GM and they win the Series While TD may not have picked the coach of the year in GW or MM, I think with good talent around them, they'd be doing alot better. Not to say either that all his player moves were bad. He's made many good ones, but he seems to have a little bit of Dan Snyder in him in that he goes for the glamor players and not enough of the guys in the trenches. And what players sell more seats, the glamor boys! Again TD's moves tend to look better from a marketing point, than a talent point. Does anyone know if TD was critisized for same thing in Pitt? Not getting good interior players??

Norwood missed casue Kelly kept passing when they were giving him the run. TT should have had 200 yards, plus that would have given the Bills and extra 5 minutes TOP

Well thats true, but it's hard to get someone to take over for a month without giving an extension. I'd prefer firing TD with about two weeks to go and just wing it for two weeks

Phat Pat is the least of our problems. If 10 out of 11 returning players isn't enough, we got problems. Pluse he only played less than 60% of the snaps. Our problem on the D, appears to be that we've got real old real quick, like Adams and Milloy, and to a lesser degree Vincent. Losing Spikes just compounded things. But I'm glad Williams is gone as it looks like D will need ot be rebuilt and having him here would take up more $$ that can be spent elsewhere.

I can't seem to figure out why a number of people seem to think Modrak would be better. He's the guy doing most of the scouting around here, particually for college players which seems to be a big part of outr problem. Unless someone has inside info that can bring to light many occasions where Donohoe has clearly gone against Modraks recommendations, why would anyone think he's an improvment? If we're going to make a change, then lets clean house and don't bring in his assistant to take over.

I believe it's the Ale House, right out in front of the mall in Altimonte. I was there the night of the Green Bay scrimmage in August

I think he may replace TKO when TKO comes back. Coming back from an achillies is no easy thing. If TKO loses even 5% of his speed, sad to say, but at the NFL level he's nothing. Personally speaking after tearing mine, I never went to the pro bowl again. Prior to that I was able to get tickets one year!

I find it amazing how someone who being a jounalism major likely took all these english classes, writing, etc can screw peoples names up so often. Bob's OK, but he's not a rocket scientist!

OK, Fassel and Billek have at least done something, though their success rate was brief. But what has Scot Piloi done? Yes, he's the personal man for the the Super Bowl champs, but how does anyone know that all their success isn't due to Bill B? It's just like teams who hire coordinators of Super Bowl teams somehow think that will make them a great head vcoach too. Maybe, or maybe not! TD had a good record in Pitt too, comparable with Wolf, other than Wolf I believe was still the GM in Green Bay when they won the Super Bowl. So I don't see where dumping TD for either of them two as GM is any kind of guarentee that we'll be in better shape.

Video, you had me all excited!

I can only hope that someone, somewhere, had a bathroom CAM installed! By Monday it sould be on the internet someplace Actually I think this story is a plant by Ralph. He just wants to get those last 3500 seats sold for the Carolina game. Imagine the lines outside the ladies room for that game! I may go wearing a dress

Or how about this link! http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/5059164

I'm not so sure about that. JB was the anti TD. Butler's problem was he was a players type of GM. He could scout talent good but wasn't good at contracts. It seemd he'd give in quicker to get a contract done, but overpay in the process. Yes he could have got the salary cap fixed, but just as quickly got back in trouble again. JB was like an addict who goes to re-hab and comes out clean, but within six months is back to their old habits. I doubt JB could ever resist over paying.

Well again, publicly he has to say that. Whether he thinks they suck or not, he's not going to say that. I doubt players would play very wel lthe rest of the year if he came out and stated so and so is terrible.

I think the Losing Williams has hurt, but coupling that with Milloy, Vincent, and Adams getting a year older is even a bigger problem.

Who's MT??

0:09 to go, you're down by 21 points. Rather than run out the clock, the Bills seem to have a burning desire to run another play; a screen pass? Guess they wanted to give New England something to think about!! Thats the problem with KH, no arm!

Naw, his best play was a a rookie in OT, He made a catch in OT that either went for a TD or set up an easy score after that for the win against Minn.

He was the subject today of a Q&A in todays Rochester paper. I was kind of surprised to hear him say that his favorite sport is baseball. Usually whatever sport a player plays in that's his favorite?? Well leave it to a kicker. Not that I'm complaining, just kind of surpirsed and shocked to hear his honest answer.

Boy I don't know, look at how Marino didn't have any speed after the injury! Actually I tore my Achillis about six months after Marino did, and based on comments he had made on TV and stuff about it feeling like someone kicked him in the back of his ankle, I knew as soon as mine happened, that was what was wrong. My friends thought I was nuts at the time, but thatwas the problem. And I lost my speed too!

Did Fast Freddy just trip over his show laces? Looked like easy first down, didn't think anyone hit him, but he goes down??

Considering this was billed as a defensive battle, you'd expect the Bill's to be stopped often. But since the Bill's D couldn't stop TB much, who had essentially three rookies playing on the line by the way, they limited the chances the offense had. Therefore I place more of the blame on the defensive side for not making any stops.

We may see them, but I doubt it will be next week. I'd predict if at all, either the Denver or KC game

Actually before the game TD stated that this is the last time they can wear them. They may apply for a waiver for a game in the future, but I wouldn't be counting on seeing them next week or anytime soon.

Until the Bills have a better option, Lindell will be here. I don't see where cutting him for some unkown is a step in the direction of goodness. Maybe he doesn't have a long leg, ok, but there is still something to say for being very accurate on shot kicks. Is it better to be worse on short kicks but better on long kicks??? Don't have the answer! I will say this, so far this season, his kickoffs have been longer and he has made a few longer field goals with quite a bit distance to spare. Considering how good the Bills kick coverage is, getting an extra 5 yards on kickoffs this year may translate into on extra TD over the course of the year through better field position.
