I'm constantly amazed that anyone still believes (even in hindsight) that JP, essentially a rookie, could have succeeded last season. Look at what this board said were MAJOR problems and need to be fixed: 1. The offensive line was one of the worst in the league. Many scenarios have nearly an entire new line next year -- only to retain the UFA TE to start at RT. Nearly three seconds of pass protection was a high water mark for any game. 2. Below average play at TE (likely a must for young QBs). Moreover, lack of a pass catching RB or FB. In other words, no worthy safety valve. How many times do we have to see brady, big ben, palmer or even the "average" team QBs find the safety receiver wide open? 3. At best, an inconsistant run game AND/OR constantly playing from behind due to the seive for a defense. If the opposing team knew the Bills HAD to pass it was tee-time. 4. A #1 WR who rarely played like one and certainly left the fireworks for off the field. 5. Recievers who never appeared to be open. How many catches do you recall where the Bills receiver was OPEN? I'm still shocked when I see another team's reciever with more than a yard of space. It seemed JP or KH had to thread the needle on every pass. 6. At times atrocious and at best unimaginative/dumbfounding play calling. If you agree that just a few of these things occured, how can you not give JP the benefit of a mulligan and a chance to play well on a decently run team? Does anyone really think any QB could have pulled his team along

At least he guessed WHICH Miami. I'd rather have these guys psychotically arrogant than realistically demoralized.

Only big catch gets called back on BS holding call.

Seattle needs: - Make the play. Bunch of dropped balls. - Make a bold play. Gof for it Holgrem.

Don't suppose you were around for the one-man "Draft Joey" crusade?

More insightful questions: How often does JP beat up his girlfriend? Is JP a wimp or a wuss? Does JP deserve to be shot or stabbed? Is JP a pedophile or simply like boys? Will he take his failure like a man or commit suicide?

Seriously, "real-time" is part of the "IN" paid service but what is the difference between it and "gamecast?" Anyone have it?

Why would Caldwell come to Buffalo? I'm also weary hiring OC/DCs who've only had all-star rosters.

IMO, the OC and DC hires (among others) are just as important. The only guy with a "safe" job is April, who likely deserves a Asst. HC promotion. Any legitimate guesses?

Can't throw to Smith if you can see him.

The one positive with this initially disappointing hire is for the first time in a while I will not have over-inflated expectations and almost guaranteed not to be disappointed by our record. I know I can (thankfully) be proved wrong but I can honestly say this is a low-point. I have almost no confindence this team is headed in the right direction.

That is pretty f'in funny.

I don't see why Caldwell would leave Indy. I like our guys but I don't think he'll see Harrison, James and Manning on the roster just yet. Besides, I have a problem bringing in coordinators who have that much talent and expect them to duplicate it.

You can tell a lot about a person by what they order. In that case, I hope he didn't get the cream puffs.

Regardless if I think it's a good idea (I'm ambivilent) I have no patience for scenarios that hinge largely on things that are totally out of the control of the team. First, I don't think Cincy would give up their #1 for a franchised cornerback. Why would they? Second, what if no team takes Clements for less than a #2 or #3? Then what? How does that change the entire complex of your "plan?" You may as well have started the plan by saying: "Ok, first we'll get Julius Peppers . . ." It's just as realistic -- or at the very least, not within the control of the team.

I hate that Manning doesn't play for the Bills.

No doubt one of the Top 5 dumbest reasons NOT to like a player. Like saying you don't like Manny Ramirez because he has a dirty batting helmet.

Clements for Cincy's #1? I stopped reading at that point.

Not . . . dead . . . yet . . .

Vinitari, Brady, dumb mistakes and stupid turnovers. And there still not out of it . . . PLEASE, JUST DIE!!!!!!!!!!

Me thinks you are a BIT sensitive. It's not like were listening to Theisman, Paul Doofus or Madden. Besides, for the most part they were very unusual NE mistakes.

My God, a sign of the Apocolypse: Vinitari missed a very makable FG (in the playoffs!)

I will be very happy if Denver wins, but say what you want, the Pats deserve the praise until they lose a playoff game. You'd expect no less if the Bills had a fraction of their success. Moreover, besides the INT, Brady is very, very good. Throws a great ball and almost always finds the correct receiver.

Who cares? He's not the coach anymore -- do you think there are STILL threads obsessing about Gregg Williams and Wade Phillips? How about we talk about Flutie and Johnson? DOH!!! Jeeze Louise, let's move on.

I'm (already) on board with April. Why not Bobby April? I'd take Wyche or Martz as OC and Cottrell or Haslett as DC for all the reasons you state above. April is the delegator who'll still have time for ST.
