Welcome to the Dark Side...

Spoken like a liberal.

I love you "Ralph is a cheapskate" guys... Clueless! You mention the Bills "business plan" is to run on the cheap. The only part you got right is that this is a BUSINESS. Owners of businesses have them for one reason, profit! Just because the Bills have room under the salary cap doesn't mean they have money to spend and maintain profitability. For your information, the Buffalo Bills had the 12th LARGEST payroll in the NFL in 2009. The Bills absolutely have shown a willingness to pay players, they just haven't always made the best decisions when it comes to who they are paying. But this nonsense that Ralph is cheap because he doesn't spend to the cap is ridiculous.

Let me take a stab... Lord Voldemort?

If I was this pumped up after a 3 minute video... imagine him running the show full time... ahhh, we can dream.

Poverty is the root cause of ALL of the problems in Haiti. High rates of birth, disease, hunger, death, etc are not new issues among the worlds impoverished countries or for that matter in poor communities in our own beloved US of A. Do the people of Haiti need help... ABSOLUTELY. Do the people of Haiti need a handout? Yes and No. The author of the article makes a strong point in this regard and I believe the old adage "Give a man a fish and he'll eat today, but teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime" applies here. As human beings, our initial reaction to disaster should be to assist those in need. To help provide basic necessities to preserve life. But, the relief efforts should have an education component and an exit strategy. Provide for their safety, teach them to provide for themselves, then get out and let them work hard, get their hands dirty and help themselves. We all come from varied backgrounds and have had varied experiences in life. For me, on a very personal level, I'm the last guy that would ever ask someone for help. I believe you make your own way in life and you take care of your own. Maybe that's the blue collar Buffalonian in me. Or, perhaps it's just my proud and stubborn nature. I'm always happy to help someone with a strong work ethic who is down on their luck. However, I'm hesitant to offer a handout to someone who is capable of providing for themselves but refuse to do so because it's easier to ask for a handout. That's my $.02.

Ask yourself this... why would you fire a coach after a 14-2 season? The reason they gave was that he wasn't winning in the playoffs. I don't buy that. You just don't dismiss a coach after a 14-2 season without much more going on behind the scenes. When that happened, there was speculation that he and AJ just weren't seeing eye to eye. I just happen to have it on very good authority that it was because he was becoming "increasingly confused" on the sideline. Believe what you will... I'm just telling you what I know. Look at my posts. I don't speculate and certainly don't spread rumors or false information. You can choose to believe what I've offered or you can dismiss it. I know where I got the info and trust the guy with my life.

No it's not... I cannot reveal my source, but I have a very good friend @ the NFL and he say's the reason Schotty Sr. was let go in San Diego is because he was starting to become "increasingly confused" on the sidelines.

So, which came first... the chicken or the egg?

You do understand who OWNS the team, right?

Please tell me you are just here pulling our legs and getting a laugh out of it. If not, I hope, for your sake, you are just an ignorant young kid who doesn't know better.

This would be the best of both worlds scenerio. We get a proven program building HC who is known for turning teams around. Once rebuilt, he passes the team on to his son (who is clearly on the rise in the NFL coaching ranks.) Serves both sort term and long term goals and would likely satisfy the majority of fans.

Agreed, but Sam's employment doesn't hinge on his abilities as a receiver. Sam's value is as a Special Teams ace.

Nice knowing you.

What? That is a ridiculous statement. Incognito is a starter on just about any team in this league. Guy is a great pickup if we can keep him from blowing his top.

Oh, I agree wholeheartedly that there is much more to this story. Personally, I firmly believe the coach was sending a "message" to the kid after he showed up for practice in street clothes and sunglasses. You just don't do that in team sports. It's not good for team morale. The kid pushed the coach, the coach pushed back. It's going to end badly. But, that doesn't change my response to the post... Darwin's rules apply to all facets of life. Whether your position is that it's right or wrong doesn't really matter... it just IS. Those with power make the rules.

LOL! You are arguing what point exactly? The point your are ridiculing has been proven over and over again throughout history. The strong survive, the weak perish and those with power DO make the rules.

What, nobody brought young Master James a fruit smoothie and a pillow? Fascists!

Some on this board may be too young to remember, but even our hall of fame DE Bruce Smith wasn't exactly a world burner in his first year... and, he was 22. 1985 - Games 16 - Started 13 - Sacks 6.5 - Tackles 48 - Fumble Recoveries 4 Give Maybin a chance to figure it out. It's way too early to tell anything about the Pro he may become.

Yeah, and it's working so well with the bunch of pansies we have out there now. We ran the ball better than we have all year behind a kid who didn't even know the offensive calls... and a good number of those runs were to his side. There's nothing wrong with the way this kid plays, he just grew up in an era of liberal "don't hit the QB too hard/save the world" pansies.

I'll take the occasional stupid penalty to have a big nasty SOB on our Oline. In fact, sign more just like RI. Keep your "players of character." Give me 5 of the nastiest, meanest mother f**kers we can get our hands on. Fill the line with guys who just want to go out and hit someone in the mouth on every play. Turn us into the Raiders of the '70's and I'm a happy man.

Now THAT's funny. Kyle Williams has outplayed Stroud in all but two games this year.

No link = reference does not exist My point being, you have no idea exactly what happened and neither do any of the rest of us. Why would his fiancee be driving away from him at high speed? Why did a 911 caller say there was a black man in the back of the truck beating on the back window "possibly trying to smash it in." Doesn't sound to me like Chrissy boy was all that saintly in this situation. I feel bad for the young man, his family and especially his fiancee and his kids. Life is all about choices, the kid made one too many bad ones and it cost him big.

And I suppose you know all of this first hand? Please, you are as clueless as the rest of us on here as to what really happened. Yet, you come on here spinning your version of sainthood for ole Chrissy Boy and divert attention by trying ot make others feel guilty for their feelings citing religious passeges. Get a grip, you're just as bad as the rest of us passing judgement and making suppositions.

What? You are seeing the difference that good coaching, a good system, and some weapons can make. Take nothing away from Orton, I'm happy for him to be out of Chicago and into a better system. But, he's NOT the better QB.
