You are an idiot Man! Ask Kelly, Thurman and co. what their opinion is of Marv Levy? Every NFL broadcaster, analyst, coach or player in the last 20 years who knew Levy would disagree with your opinion!

I'm not sure anymore what the average age of the posters on this board are, I can only tell you as a 39 (and holding) man and longtime fan of this team a couple of things I've observed : 1) Ralph always makes his decisions on the direction of his football team, in a State of the Bills "get-together" down in Fl. every year a couple of weeks after the ProBowl game. So the fact that that he's announcing Jauron's future on Wed. does not bode well for Dick. 2) On the same topic, when asked about the contract extension situation Wilson repeatedly refused comment. This tells us that he now regrets ever issuing the ext., and is doing everything in his power to "get out of it". If Ralph was being supportive of Jauron, he'd come out and say " Yes, I've extended the contract." 3) I'm sure that RW is sorely disappointed that his ol' buddy Marv (dropped the ball) on the hiring of Dick in the 1st place and maybe in a brief break of clarity (from senility) he now realizes after watching what has happened in Miami and Atlanta, that teams can in today's NFL, have real success with the "right people" in place. My guess is that either he will promote one of his "inner circle" members to assume the sole GM responsibility, and having that guy hire a new HC, or hopefully he'll realize that Russ Brandon and co. are in over their heads and bring in a real established GM who will then blow this thing up and bring in some better coaches at long last!

As much as I'd love for our Bills to beat the pats* this weekend, do you honestly think that in a meaningful game for Belicheat we have a snowball's chance in hell? We will be outcoached in 2 out 3 phases in this game and once again Bobby April's ST unit will help keep it closer than it should have been. We'll finish the season at 7-9 for the 3rd season in a row, and hopefully when RW has his annual State of the Bills meeting in Fl., he'll realize that the only way to get the fans' dollars and butts in the seats for 09 is by bringing in a real HC!

Just signed it, tried to get my daughter to sign too but it said error because it was too soon after mine. How long before I get to sign it again?

You also have to take into account that where Trent is concerned, Walsh might be a bit of a Homer as he is a Stanford man.

Maybe part of the underlying problem with our guys is not whats being coached but the manner in which its related to the players. Correct me if I'm wrong but don't we have the 2nd youngest team in the NFL? If an old school coach like Jauron "treats them like men" but the majority of key players are still boys in need of discipline, then how can we possibly expect any type of success when the players are not really held accountable for their on field play? Do any of you get the sense that Edwards, Lynch and co. fear returning to the sidelines after giving subpar performances on any given series? Remember watching players ( ex: the corner for the Steelers, Scott IIRC , getting burned for a long TD by Moulds? I actually felt sorry for the kid having to face Cowher as he sulked to the sidelines!) I agree with alot of you that Dick needs to be replaced, but not by another creampuff HC We need a real A#hole thats going to make these guys pi$$ their pants and then when they have real success on the field, they'll absolutely love him for it! We need Cowher or Billick or God forbid, Schottenheimer! Maybe the reason why Sporano, Tomlin, Mangini are having success is they are younger and yet seem to coach with the whip for those that require it, thoughts?

I know what you mean, Marauder. I haven't looked at power rankings or watched NFL Network since the first Miami loss

The biggest problem with Dicky J is that, when he needs to be conservative he isn't and when he needs to be aggressive, he Ain't! Bad football instincts= Bad football coach .... result, another losing season!

Good post! Although I agree with most of what you said, I have to disagree on the coaching analysis.. I don't honestly believe that our coaching staff (Dick in particular) will ever win against our own division opponents consistently. If I'm Ralph, I keep Bobby April and blow the rest of it up!

Not only are they both penis references, but it just occured to me that RJ was given his sweet contract by the Bills, solely based on his one game performance against the G-men and similarly DJ was given his HC'ing job based solely on his single 13-3 season As a huge fan of this team, it is frustrating that Rob Johnson will coach our guys again next year, but.... wait, WHAT? Never mind... Go Bills!

Although one could argue that Mike Tomlin took over a slightly better team than the Dick!

Thanks alot! Now I've got to wipe my morning coffee off my laptop!

While I understand your point of view, I do not share it. Dick should already have been fired for that debacle in NY last week, PERIOD!!! IMO that was the single worse call in Buffalo Bills recent history.

Whew! That was a close one. Thanks for the good news!

Link?

Regardless of what anyone thinks about Ralph, he always methodically looks at every facet of his org. from GM, Coaches, Players and then fans and ticket sales. Ralph wants to win for Buffalo and its fans, IMO he'll do everything he thinks he needs to in order to put a winning product on the field. My guess is that he'll call up Levy again and ask his advice on who he would recommend as a GM that will be successful and blow this whole thing up at seasons end. If I'm wrong, and he goes forward with the status quo, then I'll resign myself to the fact that we do have some young talent on this team, and that we'll toil along like a Houston Texans team. Just curious, what do you guys think will happen during the off-season?

Losman jersey, in my defence though it was right after he had risen to the 11th rated QB in the NFL.

I would rather watch the Bills play a preseason game against the London Sillynannies than watch the Grey Cup, maybe I'm not Canadian!?!

I can't believe you forgot Jeff George

I just got my walking papers at 2:53 pm today Rockpile, I know how you feel about it being unexpected. I had 6 people working under me and now 4 of em get to go to work tomorrow and I don't. I trained them for Chrissakes! I guess in todays economy nobody is safe.

I love this kid! Maybe Marshawn should be HC of this team

I for one am willing to give him a pass this season, don't forget that he missed almost all of last season due to injury. Which essentially makes him a rookie this year!

Couldn't agree more, in fact I've stated the same thing in recent posts. April would be a great HC, just my opinion!

If not, I don't know if I could stomach watching JP (deer in the headlights) Losman trying to lead this anemic offense for another week! It physically ills me to witness what has happened to our team this year, and I hope and pray between now and Sunday that Ralph has a momentary lapse from senility and in a singular moment of clarity, he fires Dick and has Bobby April take over HC'ing duties for these final 3 games.
