The Jests taking a coach whom has coached a team, the Kew Colts (folded many moons ago) in the Victorian Gridiron League...Australia...

Jets new HC was a coach of Gridiron down under in Melbourne, Australia for the Kew Colts. More interesting, perhaps is that Jets kicker was the Geelong Captain 2 years ago in the Australian Football League...

I just don't see two Octogenarians out-laying a large sum of $ to TO. I don't think TO and Marv are on the same page when it comes to character. But then again, to play the Devil's advocate, maybe it could be a situation similar to that which occurred with Mike Tyson and his Coach/ mentor, Cus D'amato- (1985- 1988). However, Mike was a puppy then and TO is 33 and too old maybe to mentor and the situation you'd get would be Mike Tyson in charge of escorting the Beauty Pagent...don't even mention biting...

Bryce Fisher is having a damn fine year too for Seattle.

Sherman. Haslett says all the right things but hasn't gotten NO over the hump and that's a concern. But then again, i'm sure that whom ever is brought in, if they do well it's because of the calibre of signees and if they do bad it'll be because of the lack of signees- Katrina year excused Jim.

Doesn't DR run a really complex offense with complicated play calling to boot? Would that be a good fit to a rookie or journeyman that we currently have in Buffalo? Not sure.

...i love the car... Vote 1 for Kenny

Wasn't Flutie drafted after the last guy"Scooter" from the Bears to kick a drop kick for a score in 1941...

Should Losman had been played today? Holcomb passed for 2 TD's but 4 Picks nd total yardage was less than 200. I see Moulds was again the leading receiver- another concern for next year with Evans, Parrish and Reed as the replacements. So MM stuck it out with KH- why? For the chance to win? Because he doesn't want to bench KH, sending the wrong message to the now incumbent starter for next year? Just thought it odd that in a meaningless game, hmmm 6-10 or 5-11 record that the QB of the future wouldn't even be asked to come off of the bench. OT-The Jets Punter, Ben Graham's an ex-Aussie Footballer, following the Darren Bennett pathway. I asked the Bills in 2002 if they'd look at him and they said that the Oz guys take too long punt...the next name fo scouting is Anthony Rocca- "Pebbles", the guys got a horse of a leg...

There are some decent LBer finds as welll. Whose the LBer scout at Pitt? Brown, Gildon, Kirkland, Holmes, Emmons, Vrabel, Porter- none higher than a 2nd pick too.

Not a DT, but check out Kyle Van Den Bosche's season with the Titans. Kind of goes against the view a little http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/235252

That's so sad. hugs from Oz

A tout le monde... Hmmm. They could come to Melbourne. I'd save a lot of money getting to games that way. Let's see. US ally, check- that rules out any Canadian move! Good weather. Sport mad city. Host of the 2006 Commonwealth games. Yep. The Bills can come to Melbourne, only they can't change the name, uniform or anything else- that'd be the sticking point.

This form billsdaily.com from last week Panther's Grades: J.P. Losman did some very good things and can learn a lot from the game. Unfortunately with the game on the line his inexperienced showed. He finished with a career high 197 yards on 16 of 29 with a QB rating of 62.0. The downside was missing a wide open Eric Moulds for a potential winning touchdown and then throwing the interception that clinched the loss. He also made a mistake on a third down throw to the end zone for Lee Evans. He had Josh Reed open for a first down underneath but threw the incomplete pass deep In reference to having Reed open and missing the pass/ timing...maybe Losman doesn't like throwing it to Reed - he'd rathere a pick than a Reed completion

Has Lee Evans improved enough through the season? His numbers, though not great compared to Chambers (?) but were solid: 5 catches, 117 yards, 3 TD's, longest 51 yards. At keast there's 4 catched of 66 yards- good averages then as well. So is he becoming a solid NFL starter, something this game should be a benchmark for his performances- not just stats but that they are solid numbers? Or was he just dominant over poor coverage?

I read something once about a vision problem that was not correctable. This was supposedly impacting his ability to pick up the ball and causing drops. Here is something from footballguys.com that mentions it... Peerless is item #1 Price struggled to make an impact in Atlanta for a variety of reasons. He was not physical enough to be a true #1 WR, Vick often struggled with his accuracy as a passer, and there were reports that Price had vision problems which were affecting his play. My mate here is a big Falcons fan and long ago in their chat room they have been discussing Peerless' less than peerless eye sight. The Falcs reckon it was the reason for his drops etc and why they cut him.

He has overcome the infected ass hair, however he is in counselling for the pain and suffering that it caused...and that he wasn't given a parade in downtown Buffalo for overcoming such an injury and that he's also had his claim for a purple heart rejected for this wound...

...Matt Millen has the only copy and the Detroit Library says he's overdue on the return...

...I'm reading a post about cheese...long season. King Island, South of Victoria (Australia) is world class and a regular award winner...great crayfish as well... still, this is a post about cheese...

I'm a Podiatrist and hadn't heard what had happened with Lawyer's foot. Just assumed that it was still kicking the front office up the a@#

...he let acting in the "Longest Yard" with Adam Sandler get to him. That film should be grounds for Prison too. I feel like i've aided a felony by having seen it . Either that or he's preparing for his next Prison Football film That said, he was better than the job they got form Romo- aghh Bill, what were you thinking

So i get the fact that the HC will coach according to his personality, what he's coached around as a co-ordinator and those who have coached before him and who influence him. So, he sits around and develops some X's and O's. He writes out a plan that involves coaching professionals to follow X's and O's and then to interpret some as they professionally see, as in option routes and adjustments. At some point though if his X's and O's don't fit the professional, whose job is it to work towards developing professionally- what happens? It is also excepted that Professionals work to improve themselves. In Oz, Health professionals, including Doctors- aren't trusted to undertake this themselves but we have a minimum requirement of courses/ training to complete in order to annually re-register. Example, Josh Reed was an inside- slot (I watched my typing then-phew ) in college and gets tried outside No.2 in the NFL. Falls short of professional expectations at No 2. where he's projected. Is that coaching or player? Obviously in college he was better than a truck load of kids playing WR. Is it the coaches job to rewrite some X's and O's to better fit Reed or is it up to Reed to aim to fill those X's and O's with coaching. Or does nobody say anything and either the HC gets the sack, Reed gets cut? (which would please a lot on this board )

Not sure if he came back, was just reading Billsdaily...I'm following this from afar...Melbourne, Oz so you lose some things going back and forward on the net. If he got taken off on the cart, permanent, maybe they should consider what the vets at Caulfield race course did to Mumify 2 months back and end everyone's suffering then and there. They'd use a screen of course...

Other than that what a big bust he's been. unfortunately, his Big Bust is continuing. Time to ring Tony Mandarich for advice maybe.
