Buddy inside or out?

I think he may be referring to an Olin Kreutz type center...

1 year per club Karl, about right on form!

I appreciate the frustration with losing, that's healthy. Just how you manage it needs to be addressed. Personally, I'm tired of waiting for the Bills to improve during off-season. So that when they play in preseason games I don't constantly read, relax it's just the preseason. The same mental mistakes are carrying over into the season. It seems each off-season is not a building block for the next. That somehow the guys go home and forget that they were NFL Professionals. Week 1 was a treat, but look how the Hawks have done. They're 2-10! We nearly lost in Oakland (3-9), had a good win in Jacksonville (4-7) and got a win at St Louis (2-10). It's not just new coaches either. Guys forget how to run block, run routes, pass rush... We got fooled in the 4-0 start. When watching, i wonder how the Bills are going to score. There appears no method in their madness. It just doesn't change week in week out, you never know what product you'll get- the progression or regression. You just want maybe 1 player each year to step up and take over this team. That's not coaching, that's individual. Ok. Maybe not a Ray Lewis, but maybe a Ronnie Lott guy... someone take this Bills by the Horns and step up. That's my rant and I'm off to work! But they're the Bills and I've flown further than most to see a 3-13 side, so i'll see some more, unfortunately at times...

...ok, successful HC at college, JC, High school or weekend pick up games amongst friends...

Can either Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd or former Victorian State Premier Steve Bracks apply?

I'm just using my denial experiences that i've learnt from our State Government and applying it to the Bills, it's working wonderfully well at the moment.

...From Billsdaily "The Bills continue to do it the hard way. The question is how long will they get away with struggling early and turning it on in the second half. Eventually they have to put a full game together or else this will catch up with them." All by the end of week 4! Oakland was nearly a loss, "All the euphoria of the 2-0 start, the inspired play of all three units, the total team approach all left one thing to find out, how would they persevere when they played poorly? A combination of turnovers, very poor field position early, and spotty special teams play along with the one huge pass play put them behind the eight ball but they found a way to win the game" pulled out a win in both St Louis and Jacksonville. Week 1-4 Jauron had the team hardly playing well.

Maybe it's a common coaching tool. It was in one of those NFL things. An 80's early 90's QB...

I thought Marcus Price played well as the swing back in the early days with Buffalo... but yeah, it's not a long list.

You sure that's the correct quote? I'm not so sure. I can't remember the team and will hunt around for it. I thought it was a QB, maybe Steve Young or such and after throwing a TD pass was celebrating and his coach asked him what he was doing, when that's what we're paying you to do... I'll get back to you...

He also had resonisibility for the naked bootleg, but followed the line into the middle until it was too late. That's a rookie mistake, a rush of blood mistake. He's paid too much to for that outcome. You have to play your responsibility first if you're value is highest off of the field.

What's that show where they talk about the line "With all due respect" as a way of canning someone "politely"

Surely a career coaching record of 0.440 and 1 season in 8 (Detroit doesn't count) with a winning record should make you feel better. With a slim chance to win 4 games from 6 it may well be 1 in 9! Why is it that not one of his assistance coaches have ever made it to a HC position? For example, Mike Holmgren= Andy Reid, Ray Rhodes, Steve Mariucci, Mike Sherman or say George Seifert= Mike Shanahan and Jeff Fisher. Dick Jauron= NONE

So we need a new coach, NT, LDE, RDE and a Sam backer... maybe just start with the coach.

Love to have a Ronnie Lott type, a guy called the big cheese.

Was talking with a friend and he mentioned that teams generally have to have a good nucleus of guys that HATE freakin' losing and this attitude rubs off. Not just being unhappy with losing, but are PI$$ED off with being beat, it's an insult. So i got thinking, which players on the Bills despise losing, or seem driven to winning...

...reminds me of the Black Adder (Rowan Atkinson) series set in WW1 with General Melchard's cunning plan. It's the same plan as the last 19, which is what's so cunning. They'll never suspect we could be so stupid to do it again, exactly.

Offense inability to accrue long drives with plenty of run, run and run somemore plays kills a 3-4. There are so few guys that one team can have that can play the nose that they wear down. Generally the team keeps fewer linemen and more backers, so there are fewer fresh players for the platoon system. Giants v Bills superbowl... Apparently the size of the Bills O-line would be an advantage, unfrotunately size does not equate to strength with these 5.

Who'd play nose? Undersized Williams? Stroud? Denney would be better at LDE than at LBer, he at least is good for a bat down, aint happening off the LoS. Whose your RDE in the 3/4- Schobel, Kelsay, Johnson, Ellis... The 3/4 RDE technique is different to the 4/3 technique... Oh dear... another game and a few more ... appearing

5-4 prediction in June? The reality is 4-0 in a month of actually playing, not predicting and then an almighty 1 win in 5 outings thereafter. If i had told you that we'd be 5-4 after starting 4-0 would you be as happy with 5-4 then?

Couldn't agree more.

...he needs to see the club podiatrist...this team has one, doesn't it? What with all the foot injuries, i'm sure there's plenty of work. Plantar fasciitis, clinically a tear to the plantar fascia or ligament under the foot. It can tear along its length from the heel (origin) to the toes (insertions), but classically either at the origin or in the middle (belly). Sit down, stretch out your toes and feel that tightband under the arch of your foot. Often muscle strains in the sole of the foot are called plantar fasciitis.

What exactly is playing the Phil Hansen role? Kelsay is in no way capable of playing Hansen's role whilst with the Bills. Have a look back to I think 1995. Hansen had 10 sacks and was 2nd or so on the team in tackles FWIW. Hansen was good against the run and could swing from outside to inside. He may never have scared anyone, but he kept them honest. I'd take that now. There's no way with the guys we have that we can play a 3-4. We have guys who just can't get to the quarterback from the 4-3. If Schobel is way over-rated, then there is no way that Kelsay is OK unless he's "way over-rated".
