That's certainly something I can agree with. He's a great QB, but there's nobody I'd rather se get pounded into the earth. I hate the fuggin pats.

Come to think of it, I think their win-loss record over the past year is overrated, as well.

I wish I was overrated enough to have 2 SB rings.

This is one of the (many) reasons I am no longer a Catholic. Makes my convictions all the more solid, in both who I am voting for and also renouncing my Catholocism.

Why don't you all get a clue and bring yourselves to the logical conclusion that Donahoe sucks. Everything is his fault. If McGahee is good and Henry is just OK, it's Donahoe's fault. If we have two good RBs, it's his fault. If draft pick edwards outplays fat sam, it's his fault. Friggin players. It was much easier when everyone sucked!

:I starred in Brokeback Mountain:

My prediction is that we'll be giving Losman time to throw instead of Drew. He is either going to get hurt because he's been hit so much, or if we keep losing he's going to get benched so we can develop Losman.

Haven't you ever watched "Rudy"?

I see many of the same philosophies with the Bills. People get pissed that Buffalo does't often make a huge splash in FA, or have huge names at all positions. I think everyone can agree that having the biggest names is not important. Having a plan is. Redskins are an example of how NOT to run a team. They will continue to suck as long as they have an idiot impulsive owner. Of course, it is taking a while to pay off for us, but over the long term I don't think we'll see many of those huge purges that we saw during the Butler years and right after.

Mike Florio is a flaming moron. Just try to prove me wrong.

He's not on a team right now.

Sorry VA, but it sounds like a load of BS to me. There's no news of that anywhere other than in this thread.

So you're saying he's a horrible person?

Chidi was always a strange dude.

In my opinion, your job as a manager is to put people in position to succeed. Your job is to make their job easier - not the other way around. Not many people like interviewing. Not many people are good at it. Your job in the interview is to allow the person to convince you that they are good at what they do, qualified for the job, and you should hire them. Amazingly, some very talented people are not good at convincing people of this in an interview. An easy way to get to the meat of what someone can do in an interview is to lead someone down a path to a point where they can articulate the information you want to know. For example, instead of starting with a question like, "Tell me about a situation where you had to deal with a difficult person," you can start by asking them about the types of projects they worked on. When you know about a few projects, you can lead them to that question as you learn about their roles on the project. It's kind of like trying to get a girl to go home with you. You don't ask them to come home and get nekkid immediately, you need to finesse it a bit more.

Cats and dogs, living together!

bills can still sign him off their practice squad if they want.

So, um, what's your point?

That would be a good answer as well. I wonder if he was sucking those toads from south america that make you trip out for a while. Maybe that was his problem! Rockpile - you're a genious!

Gameplan isn't installed until Wednesday. But I'm sure they'd find his knowledge of plays interesting.

I hope the answer wasn't that they wanted to go in a "different direction." That's a stock BS answer. It tells us nothing, and at this point with this team we deserve to know a bit more about it. I'd expect him to say something like this: "Bobby is a great guy and a good player. We just felt that his downfield blocking wasn't what we needed in our current scheme. Additionally, we didn't feel that he had a good grasp of the playbook at this point in the season, which caused him to make some mistakes. We're sorry things didn't work out with him, and we're sure he'll find a productive role on another team." Did he say something like that, or was it the same BS "Different direction" thing?

I have to agree here. Not stupid to get rid of him, but stupid to get rid of him without getting anything in return. Of course, we probably don't know the whole story. Unless he did something bad (like missing meetings, screwing Donahoe's daughter, etc), I don't understand the reasoning behind it. Maybe we'll find out more from someone's inside sources.

Absolutely. I hope it's a trade. Even if it's for a kicker or draft pick or something. Hell, even a few cheerleaders would be nice, not that there's anything wrong with our current ones. I'm confused by Shaw. He's made some clutch plays over the past two years, but has done some dumb stuff like run the wrong route or get hit in the back with the ball when he should be catching it. I guess I don't know enough about the pass routes to know if he's doing the right thing. He has good hands and decent speed, so maybe that's what has kept him on the team.

Amen and haleluia!
