  1. All it takes is just 1 or maybe 2 key injuries and the season could be over for some perennial playoff teams. If Brady, Manning or Brees goes down with a significant injury, will the Patriots, Colts or Saints realistically have any kind of shot? If Favre doesn't come back, are the Vikings going to ride Jackson or Rosenfels into the playoffs?

     

    The Bills are in transition. We know what they're transitioning from, not so sure what they're transitioning to. Like most fans, I wish they had addressed the LT and QB issue in the draft or trades. But to this point, they look like they're sticking with what they've got. I am hopeful that the coaching and staff change will get a lot more out of the players. I do expect them to play harder, smarter and more disciplined this year.

     

    Playoffs? No.

    8-8? Maybe.

    A team that no one wants to face by the end of the season. Hell yeah.

    Just ending the season strong, instead of rocketing down a slip-n-slide, will be a very welcome change.

  2. Didn't see it mentioned, but immediately before Levy the Bills were quite simply pure garbage. He didn't do it alone, but he certainly played a major role in cleaning some of the garbage and cancers out of the locker room and turning Ralph's dumpster fire into a highly regarded and successful franchise during his run as the head coach.

  3. Our OT situation is awful, but I like the interior of our line and I think Bell can play RT. Peters was not a stud LT from day one it took time. Last year was realy Bell's first actually getting to play.

    I like some of the young talent, but I'm not going to blow smoke up my own arse and pretend the kids are going to be Pro Bowlers next year. The line is a long ways away from being solid even if everything goes absolutely perfectly. And last year showed that it is no stretch to believe that some things are going to go completely and brutally south.

  4. I think your rant misses the point as even if you judge Marv as horrible it really only reflects on the real issue which is the team owner Mr. Ralph.

     

    Marv's results simply stand as a double indictment of the team owner as in the end it is the big guy who writes the big checks for failures like Langston Walker and Dockery and who was it who made judgment to hire what you call the worst GM in NFL history in the first place.

     

    Actually if one really wants to make an accurate assessment then who deserves the blame for firing GM Polian, for having such a toxic relationship with Butler he left the Bills in completely horrible shape with the timing of his departure or even worse if he tanked his last draft with a far worse choice than Whitner was.

     

    Mr. Ralph then added insult to injury by hiring TD and totally failing to manage some clear flaws in his strategy (TD seemed to hire GW with a goal of not getting run out of town by a successful HC he hired as he was with Cowher and then showed the utter toxicity of him managing the GM situation by having to fire TD.

     

    You seem to pretty much miss the point by poking the corpse of Marv.

    The problems run deeper, that is true. Putting a smiling, familiar face on an inept and underachieving organization certainly didn't improve the product.

  5. You'd think that players who were cut by him would have something bad to say about him, but they don't.

    Did you miss the Turk Schonert interview? Or maybe Jason Peters comments about the Club Dick? Or, do you think people in general seeking a new job should go into interviews with prospective employers and lay thick into their old bosses and rip them a proverbial new one?

     

    Whether the players love him or not is totally irrelevant. He's proven he can't put a good enough team together and that he can't win. Honestly, I prefer players that love winning and despise losing. Ask yourself why Dick Jauron dumped most of the veteran leadership when he got here.

  6. I get what you are saying, but Car, Tenn, Jax, Miami, Jets, and KC are all winnable games for us. Hou is tougher, but also winnable. Atl and Pats should definitley be losses for us, but the others are all very winnable.

     

    The Colts are likely going to be playing their backups 75% of the game, we should realisticly win that game if they do...if for some reason the Colts have reason to play their starters, then yes, we will lose that game. But I am pretty sure Indy will have their spot locked up...

    Winnable? Yeah, maybe. These Bills find a way to lose "winnable" games with regularity. My memory is working just fine.

  7. It seems pretty unrealistic to think the Bills can seriously go 6-4 or 7-3 the rest of the way regardless of which of the football-limited QBs is on the field. The Patriots, Falcons, and Colts close out the year. That means the Bills would have to go on a tear through Carolina, Houston, Tenn, Jax, Miami, Jets, and KC and there is 4.5 road games in there. The win over the Jets was nice, but it was hardly convincing. It was more of an attempted screw-up that backfired into something positive. Jauron's play-not-to-lose philosophy means we'll lose at least as many games as we win at the end of games, and only in those games where we can keep it semi-interesting. (Losing by small margins really shouldn't convince anyone that this team is close to greatness.) Jauron's elevator only goes up to "7" at best; and, his 8.5 year record prove he can't get it done. Still, it could be even worse. Getting rid of Jauron to replace him with the next Hank Bullough wouldn't improve anything.

  8. Yes, if it wasn't for Edwards, we'd suddenly have a serviceable OLine, a successful coordinator and receivers who catch everything.

    Damn you Trent!

    :w00t:

    True. Watching MNF, I couldn't help but notice Phillip Rivers making some great plays despite playing behind a terrible OL. Trent is far from the only problem, but he's not a solution either.
