MAS TEQUILA!! Cabo Wabo is the good stuff.

It is my birthday and I have been sampling tequila for quality control and medicinal purposes until my wife gets home. I are 42. That being said, I have been saying for a long time that football is not a complicated game. The team that dominates or controls the line of scrimmage will win the game. If the Ravens can win a Super Bowl with Dilfer and the Giants can win with Hostedtler, anyone can win it all. This up and coming draft we need to address the o-line. We can also alleviate our problems via free agency. I would be happy with a draft that consisted of o-line and d-line personnel only. Think about it. The Pats-I live in Maine and miss the wings and zweigle's dogs-don't exactly have anybody in the secondary that scare anyone. Especially now that Harrison is likely to retire. The Pats RB's are average at best. Their o-lines and d-lines dictate the game. Despite all their injuries they were still a very good team. I will say this--beware the Pats next season. They will be one hungry team and everyone will be healthy. I see Dillon having a monster season and retiring. Until we get serious about the line of scrimmage--we will suck. Does anyone know if Preston can play center at the NFL level? I remember all the hype about Geislinger--has he played at all? Same for MacFarland? Mike Williams and Anderson suck. I see them gone. Teague is not the answer at center. Villarial is getting old. Drafting Roscoe still bamboozles me. I believe TD was free basing Grecian at the time. We had the biggest o-line in the NFL or damned close to it. The o-line should be able to fall forward and an rb should gain positive yardage. I have always thought that Willis was a bad pick. Rb's are a dime a dozen. Remember that Thermal was a later pick. Larry Johnson would have been awesome. Would not be opposed to seeing Jamal Lewis in a Bills uniform. He had an off year--prison will do that for you. When will coaches that we hire understand that Buffalo is a COLD WEATHER team. We must establish the run and the only way to do that is to get an o-line that performs. Would love a o-line scheme like the Steeler's-so would every other team. We did that when Marv was coaching. We had one of the best rb combos in NFL history--Davis and Thermal, not to mention a very unheralded o-line with the ultimtae leader at center-Hull. Why the hell didn't Gates get any reps? The qb for this team should have few responsibilities. Hand the ball off to the left side. Hand the ball off to the right side. Hand the ball off so the rb can go up the middle. Make a correct to open wr be it long or short. Basically we need a qb who will not be asked to win the game, just don't lose it. Look at the Dolphins this year. JP needs to close his pie hole, stop thinking and just play football. Evans looks to be a stud very soon. Will Moulds stay? We have no TE worth a damn. The TE situation will change. Kelly would have been dismal without Metz to dump the ball off to. Defensively we need DT's and a CB to likely replace Clements. Would love to see Clements go the Skins for Arrington. We switch to a 3-4 with the following LB's:Crowell,Spikes,Fletcher,Arrington, and Posey for a rotation. Draft a big and mean NT-Ngata- or sign Ted Washington. Be nice to do both. The d-line would be Kelsay, Schobel, and NT's Can Anderson Or Edwards handle the 3-4? The only time the Bills were a powerhouse on defense was when we played the 3-4. Time fo rmore Cabo Wabo-like I said I am merely test tasting it for quality control and medicinal purposes only. Anyway that is my rant.

I hope that if MM goes to the Fish it doesn't come back to bite us in the ass. We all thought GW was a waste. He now may have the defense in the league. Will MM turn the Fish around? When he was the o-coordinator in P-burgh he won with the qb tandem of Slash and Maddox. Your thoughts?

With a new regime being installed, we will find out if JP is the man or a lot of mouth. This up and coming season will be a wash. By the end of next season eithert he will be a QUALITY qb or he won't. Your thoughts

Could this be our starting o-line in the near distant future? Center-Preston Guards-Geisinger, Villarial, M. Williams (if not released) Tackles-Peters, Gandy Who is going to want to play behind this line right away? We may have to deal with this o-line for a season to see what happens, unless we can get a free agent to give us immediate results. The NY Giants did this to Eli in his first season. Your thoughts?

We are in for a long haul. We may very well be the worst team in the entire league, regardless of other team records. We need help everywhere. The o-line is in shambles. The defense is putrid. We have no definite qb going into next season. Willis is more show than go. Moulds may have played himself out of Buffalo. Will Takeo be 100%? Our top offensive player is the damn kicker. Just to name a few problems. My question is will Ralph be around long enough to see this thing get turned around? Will Ralph pack up the team and leave? The only way this team is going to be competitive is to basically blow this mess up and start over. We may be have to look at the Dolphins to see how they won 6 in a row to end the season with nothing but second tier qb's to finish a respectable 9-7 for the season. Who will we hire if MM and TD are gone? I should say who would want to come to Buffalo for something other than a paycheck? What free agents are going to come here that are worth watching? The Bills need a high speed coach and GM or one person to do both. The coach and GM to be next season need to convince Ralph to spend money on something other than back up players. This ain't something that is going to be corrected in one season. Brace yourselves things may get worse before they get better. Reality sucks

The last time the Bills were a powerhouse was when we had the oldest coach we could find. Marv was cool. Let's hire Joe Paterno--lolol

Might as well face the facts. We have issues. The only way to change/fix this team is by starting over from scratch. We need a new GM and coaching staff. We need these guys to be as tough as Parcells is. Hell, I would be happy to have some of his assistants. Anybody notice the jobs Weis and Bellichek are doing? The GM and coach would have to strip the team down to almost nothing a la an expansion team. Face it not many free agents are going to be thrilled playing here under the current regime and conditions for any amount of money. My point is we are going to be in for a long ,painful period-like seasons- before we even become close to a playoff team. That's my take.

Just a question will MM last through the next season if he has the dismal record as this year? Can't understand why the Bills in succession have hired head coaches without any head coaching experience. I would like to see the Bills hire a college head coach from a quality college program. Would anyone object to having someone like Wisconsin's Barry Alvarez take over the coaching position. His offensive blocking schemes are the same as the Denver Broncos. He understands how football should be played in the frigid northeast. Your thoughts?

I have been reading from various pollsters here that our o-line sucks. I agree, but many are suggesting we need a bigger line. I can guarantee that our o-line is one of the heaviest in the league. When we had our Super Bowl runs we did not have the biggest line in the league. Howard Ballard was the biggest. We had linemen with good technique. It all starts with the center position. Kent Hull was the glue of the line. It is no accident that when he retired our offense began to suffer. Our line is so big that they should be able to collectively fall forward and the rb should be able to gain positive yardage. I would like to see Preston at center. We drafted him as a center, why not use him there. The season is a wash. The best o-line year in and year out belongs to the Denver Broncos. They have the smallest line in the league yet they always have 1000 yard rushers. Yes, they chop block but it is legal. Why can't we get some of our former linemen like Hull or Richter to come in and help out? Could it hurt to ask? The game is won in the trenches. It is not complicated. It is not rocket surgery. Get young o-linemen from the draft and teach good technique. I have always liked the Boston College o-linemen. Every year the school has their linemen drafted and they do well. Just ask the Pats. I am tired of us drafting the biggest behemoth or a someone with versatilitiy. We need linemen who are intelligent and coachable. Your thoughts?

CBS says T.O. is not suspended but is listed as inactive. Hominahominahomiana?!!!

I just heard the same thing. What a clusterphuk in Philly? He is listed as inactive.

My take on T.O. is very simple. If you look up schmuck in the dictionary, you will find his photo. I am an old time Bills fan. According to reports T.O. got into a "fight " with Hugh Douglas-who is retired. T.O then challenged McNabb? Can you picture T.O. picking a fight with a retired Bill such as Smerlas or Joe D? Can you picture T.O. and Kelly in a fight? Who would win?

I stated it a while back. Football is not complicated. You must run the ball 30 plus times a game to open up the passing game. KH threw about 7 passes per quarter, but none of his handoffs to WM were intercepted. WM is the man, give him the rock until he has to crawl for yardage. We have one of the biggest o-lines in the game. The linemen should be able to fall forward and WM should gain positive yardage. Hopefully the coaching staff will finally realize/accept/comprehend that we are a smash mouth running football team.

I have been reading various article regarding LaVarr Arrington. He is healthy and not playing for GW's defense in Washington. Would you take a chance on him? Our lbs aren't getting any younger. How old is Fletcher? How about a lb corp of Arrington, Spikes, Posey, and Fletcher? Not a bad rotation. Hell Arrington is big enough to be a pass rushing DE. I personally prefer the 3-4 defense. I would take a chance on him for anything but a first round pick. Your thoughts?

I am bored and griping about the Bills is getting old. I watched the Pats-Falcons game last week. How smart are the Chargers looking now by not drafting Vick? I think Vick needs to produce very quicikly. Matt Schaub is a much better qb than Vick can over hope to be. The Pats would have had an easier time defending against Vick than they did against Schaub. Vick is nothing more than over glorified rb. Don't be surprised if Vick is gone from the Falcons sooner rather than later. Who would you draft now LT or Vick?

I watched the this kid against the Pats and he is good. He is a much better passer than Vick will ever hope to be. Wonder if he will be available at the end of the season? I would let this kid play until Vick is 100%. Imagine Vick at wr. He may be the fastset player in the league.

Just curious--who would you draft now? Would Moulds have the success Marvin has enjoyed in Indy?

Hello!!! Why do you think Holcomb signed with the Bills? He signed because we have a raw, first year starter at qb. Be glad we signed Holcomb. He has experience and has started in the league. Remember when he torched the vaunted Steeler's Defense? Didn't he play with a severe leg injury--I believe his leg was broken. Name another quality back up qb that can handle this situation and play well? The choices are far and few between. Thank goodness we have not attempted a trade for Ramsey or Boller with JP struggling. What is the worst thing that can happen with Holcomb starting? A qb controversy? Highly doubtful since JP has done nothing to prove himself. It is still too early to tell if JP is the man or not, but maybe some more learning from the sidelines would not hurt. John Elway was benched early in his career for Steve DeBerg. I am willing to bet Holcomb will be the starter until our bye week. JP will start that week--lol.

lololol--Blue Chipper spelled grammar wrong.

I have not been in upstate NY in over 15 years. Grew up in Pittsford and frequented Thirsty's. That place still there? I miss wings the most. Can't get good wings in Maine.

I am a 30 plus years Bills fan. I have been transplanted in Maine for many years. Football is not complicated. I have been reading other comments from various members on this site. We were built by "Donoshmoe" to be a smash mouth football team. We have essentially a rookie qb. His job should be to hand the ball off to a rb at least 35-40 times a game. That averages out to be about 8-10 hand offs per quarter. Last time I checked JP had zero incomplete handoffs. Look at the Steelers. Ben hands the ball off more than any other qb in the league. By running the ball and controlling the line of scrimmage you open the passing game. Ben is not asked to stand in the pocket and throw the ball 65 plus yards. He throws short and over the middle. The wr's job is to just catch the ball and try to break open a long run after the catch. Remember the Jim Kelly to Ander Reed connection? How many short passes and slants over the middle did he break for long gains and touchdowns. Eric Moulds can do this. Lee Evans can do this plus he is a burner to break one open for a touchdown at any time. Willis is a beast. He should be receiving handoffs at least 30 plus times per game. Our o-line is one of the biggest in the league. Any rb we have should gain positive yardage if the o-line just fell over. Look at the successful coaches in the league past and present. From Vince Lombardi to Parcells to Belichek---they have always been a smashmouth running team with a good defense. Elway didn't win the big one until Terrel Davis was running the ball. Troy Aikmann didn't do diddly until Emmitt Smith was drafted. Rememeber Joes Gibbs and his Super Bowl team. The o-line had the Hogs and a "little" rb named John Riggins. The thing that astonishes me the most is that the head coach had Jerome Bettis with the Steelers. Willis is not much smaller and is faster. Mularkey needs to stop trying to win with the "sexy" plays. If MM tried this garbage in Pittsburgh Cowher would have B word slapped him. The Chargers pounded the Pats this past week. How did they do it? They ran the ball down their throats. The Chargers stayed with the run. I am sure I will be blown off, run, or flamed. Until we actually start running the ball more than occassionally, we will not be a playoff caliber team. You can change coaches, schemes, the color of the uniforms, or any other stupid gimmick. We were built to do one thing. Line up and run block. This ain't rocket surgery. I am getting too old to keep saying wait until next year. I figured if the Red Sox could win it all, maybe the stars would be lined up for the Bills.

Would love to see this bruiser in a Bills uniform. If Willis had to look over his shoulder and worry about his job, he would be even better than he is now.

I am a long-time Bills supporter. Been following the Bills for more than 30 years. My old joke was there is only one thing worse than being a Red Sox fan, it's being a Bills fan. I said this before and will say it again. Football is not a complicated game. Control the line of scrimmage by running the ball and with a good defense, you win games. The running game opens up the passing game. If anyone thought JP was going to pass the ball well and throw for an abundance of yardage--you're high. John Elway, Troy Aikman, and many other first year starting qb's have struggled mightily. JP has been trying to learn the system. Last season he was learning the system as it was being spoon-fed by Wyche. Now this season JP is trying to utilize the system. The speed of the game is astonishing at this level. JP needs at least another season to adjust from the college game. If and that is a big if, he can learn to just react and not think, then he will be successful. Here is an example, Carson Palmer did nothing great his first two seasons. Look at him now. It took Eli Manning last season just to acclimate to the NFL game. Our coaching staff needs to stop trying to be cute. This team was built around the running game. We may have the biggest o-line in the game today. We drafted a bull for an rb. Here's a thought run the ball 40 times a game. Running backs are drafted to run the ball. You use the rb until he can no longer do the job effectively. Isn't the average career of an rb about 6 or 7 years? Rb's are a dime a dozen. That's why so many of them get drafted every season. The blocking makes it all happen. Our o-line is so big they should be able to fall forward and the rb should be able to gain positive yardage. The rb needs to not fumble. Look at Parcells, he uses his rb's until they damn near drop dead. Remember Otis Anderson running that ball down our throats? If Jeff Hostetler and Trent Dilfer can win the ring, so can the Bills. Running the ball and playing a ball control offense may not be the "sexy" way to win games but it works. Our defense is plenty good enough. They are on the field most of the game. The Patriots have done this and won 3 Super Bowls. This is not complicated. Ask Jim Kelly what made the K-gun effective--running the ball or throwing it. Until the coaching staff implements this we will never be a playoff contender. I am sure I will be blown off but there is the ugly truth.

How do the Lions get blown away by the Bears? QB Harrington throws for 5 ints and gets pulled for the rookie out of UConn Orlovsky!! Damn.
