Oakland this year. A very winnable game. We lost because drew was inaccurate that day. Poor judgement.
If there was anyone who I wish could turn it around, it would be Drew. But 5 or 6 times a year he'll throw out a real clunker like he did on Sunday. 2 or 3 clunker games a year is OK - even an aging Favre does that, but Favre makes up for it by winning games by himself. Drew can't do that.
Ugh. It's depressing to think about.

I have to wonder what "tells" Drew and Co. give off....
Belichick is so ahead of everyone else that it seems like a no contest situation

He's not the only coach who does that. Actually, they've been doing it for years. All clubs do it. It's just a matter of communicating it, then having the talent to do something about it.

I was watching Fox News Saturday morning and one of the anchormen said he was invited to debate Michael Moore at some college for charity. He said that he went and had a lot of fun.
He then said that Michael Moore received $30,000 for the debate that did not go to charity, and also was flown to the debate in a private jet, paid for by the college. The anchorman said he was not paid for the event and had to pay for his flight.
Is it also true his website is hosted by a Canadian company?
Man of the people?
Michael Moor is a disgusting excuse for a human being. He's a self-proclaimed socialist, yet takes $30K for a speaking engagement? What a bufoon.
I can't stand the !@#$.

Right. Of course it's not all Drew's fault. Only the retarded would think that, but there comes a time when your QB has to take the O on his shoulders and win a game for you. Drew can't do that.

Vendetta? Where did you pull that out of?
As for those linemen "playing well"....yeah, sure they are, it's why we can't get any push in the run game (and none of those guys as dominant in the running game as Williams) and why our QB is constantly under pressure...I know its fashionable to blame everything that’s wrong with the Oline on Williams, but he's just part of the problem...those players you mentioned above are a huge problem as well. If 3/5 of our line was worth a stevestojan (like you claim) the line wouldn’t be a huge problem, but it is.
Watch the friggin games, man. I guess if you need someone to blame for the entire thing, do whatever makes you happy. Be my guest.
how's this:
IT"S ALL DONAHOE'S FAULT!
Gee, what a brilliant statment. I don't subscribe to blanket statements. I subscribe to rational thought. But don't let that get in your way when seeking a scapegoat if it makes you feel good.
-
I don't know as much about the important matters discussed on this forum as "todd" seems to, but I do know that "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." Whatever "stevestojan" might be, I can assert without question that it appears nowhere in the Bible.
Todd seems an authority on the issue of "stevestojan"-- and delivers a mouthful.
Awww, did I get you riled up? You have your opinions, I have mine. If you'd like to insult me, that's fine. I think the ever-important bible says something about that, as well. Can you quote me a passage, preacher?
-
Wow - someone's on a vendetta against me. Interesting.
That's good and all, but our entire line doesn't suck. Teague has been playing well, Jennings is a good player, and chris vallerial is pretty damn good too. The entire friggin defense rocks, and our RB situation is damn good.
So spin it how you want by making broad generalizations, but it turns out you're wrong. Do you think our ENTIRE offensive line sucks? Every last one of them? Do you think we should cut them all? Be honest.

Let's do the bad first, so I don't have the irrational hotheads up my ass:
1. Mike Williams. He's in his 3rd year and making a ton of friggin money. Donahoe spent a #4 on the guy. What do I expect of a #4 pick? I expect some growing pains, but I also expect some signs of dominance. Some signs of being elected to the pro bowl. By the 3rd year, if he's not showing dominance by the midpoint of the season, he's becoming close to being labeled a bust. He's one game away from that label, imho. A Donahoe mistake.
2. Hiring Gregg Williams. Well, maybe he should just stay away from those named Williams. What say you about that? Apparently a good coordinator. Not a good HC. Mistake by donahoe.
3. Unwillingness to force the issue of getting rid of Gilbride's awful playcalling when we were losing last year. Not good. Mistake.
4. Trade for Drew. Um, I love Drew. But he doesn't elevate the offense. He cant' win games by himself. I expect that out of a #1 pick, or at least the pick we gave away. Bad choice.
5. Josh Reed. I don't like him. Fill in the blanks - not worth a 5th round pick, let alone a 2nd.
The good:
1. Getting value for Peerless instead of overpaying him. Good move. Peerless has done jack as a #1 WR.
2. Drafting Travis in the 2nd round. Damn good, especially when we'll get a 1st rounder for him. A 1300 yard back isn't easy to come by, unless you are the Broncos. We ain't.
3. Drafting Willis. In the guy's second game he shows the talent and burst a 1300 yard back (travis) doesn't have. Nice! Looking like a good pick right now. And he's essentially a rookie right now.
4. Vision drafting Losman. Nice way to hedge your bet. He bet on Drew turning it around, but hedged it well with a talented rookie. Nice hedge.
5. Re-signing Moulds. If you remember, the choice was between getting moulds or wiley. Wiley is a blowhard nothing. Moulds is a great pro. Nice move.
6. Aaron schoebel. Wow. Who would have thought that this guy would be capable of double-digit sacks? Not me. I scratched my head at this pick, but I was wrong. Who would have thought he'd be able to make Ogden look like a fool? Not me. Great draft pick. He's becoming a playmaker, and he's damn good.
7. Our defense in general. Pretty damn good. I'm impressed.
8. LB FAs. Takeo and London are damn good. Posey is solid, but not spectacular. But takeo and london are playmakers.
9. Terence McGee. Pretty damn good DB and damn good returner. Nice pick.
So it's clear donahoe hasn't been perfect, and he's missed on a few important things, but his draft picks and FA pickups have been pretty good overall.
So lets have some perspective here, folks. Everything doesn't suck. Don't shoot yourselves yet. It sucks not going to the playoffs again, and I hate that, but Donahoe has done a good job overall.

I never said it was "no big deal". I simply am not willing to push the blame to the administrative level of the government when the Pentagon is clearly in charge of ground operations and security in Iraq.
Because the government is expected to perform so many different rolls, it ensures they will do none of them well. The same thing happens when businesses branch out from their core competancies into new areas. The core generally takes a hit in quality and never recovers.
I agree with you, but GWB took on the job as prez knowing he'd be ultimately responsible for the workings of the govermnet. So blaming pentagon burocracy is blaming Bush. He's the CIO of the country, and if there's anyone who would see that problems at the pentagon hurt our country, it would be him.

Umm, who was on the bench behind him to replace him? Van Pelt? Ummm, no.
Apparently, Donahoe KNEW there was a chance that drew wouldn't bounce back from last year, and therefore decided he needed a new QB. Quite shrewd if you ask me. Also quite shrewd to realize that if Bledsoe didn't do well this year, we'd be shot anyway so why not pick up a 1st rounder?
It's quite easy to generalize after a bad game. Drew has played well on occasion. So to generalize uselessly about "not playing well over the last 32 games" is an exaggeration. Some might call it a falsehood. Others might call it a lie. Anyway, you again use a falsehood to support your point. If the "facts" that you base your opinions on are wrong, there's a good chance your opinions are as well.

I think drew would have been pulled. Maybe he (losman) wouldn't be the starter, but after the way he's played in both Oakland and Baltimore I bet mularkey would have pulled him.
The difference between replacing Henry with McGahee is that Henry wasn't as blatantly terrible like Bledsoe has been in those games. McGahee also wasn't really ready until after a few weeks into the season, anway. He still had to get his football legs back after over a year off, so it's generally not a fair comparison.
I bet if Losman was healthy Drew would have been pulled at least in those bad games he's played. Maybe he wouldn't have been the starter from week to week, but Mularkey has clearly shown he's not afraid to bench players, which is completely opposite what Williams was like.
For example:
1. Shaw. Cut.
2. Adams. Benched.
3. Henry. Benched.
4. Wire. Benched.
5. Williams - benched in preseason.
So there's a nice trend of Mularkey not being afraid to make a move. Any suggestions otherwise are not based in reality.
-
That's a complete falsehood. Facts refute that. If Donahoe was worried about that, he would never have Drafted McGahee. He would never have cut Shaw. He never would have let Gash go. Hell, he never would have drafted JP, for God's sake! He never would have fired Williams.
Facts refute what you think.

Yes, I am familiar with those days and much of that writing. The columns he wrote back then were nothing like those of today (unless you're speaking of day-after Super Bowl entries). Of course he brought up negatives back then, but nothing like the scathing criticisms we see on a typical Monday now. Many of his columns were praise-laden with a mention here or there about a way the Bills could get better. What's wrong with that? To say he "focused" on the negatives back then is crazy. He simply pointed out holes in very good teams that, perhaps you'll remember, never won the big one.
Jerry - is that you? Are you defending yourself? Self-fellation is a talent that only few are blessed with.
-
Thank you.
Sullivan used to call for Jimbo to be benched all the time, even when we were going to SBs. He's a prick.
for anyone who finds joy in his loathing of the Buffalo organization :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: .
-
Umm, yes you can. Here's his logic: everone sucks. Donahoe sucks. Mularkey sucks. Bledsoe sucks.
I can argue with his logic. Donahoe doesn't suck, and mularkey doesn't suck. If you think that's the case, you might want to step away from the sauce. Why do you think Donahoe drafted McGahee? Hmm? Why do you think he drafted Losman? Hmmm? But of course all the idiots around here do is focus on the negative. But that's par for the course.
-
Anyone can make a good point, especially if it's obvious. If I ever saw him I'd teach him how to smile with a toothless grin. Well, maybe not really, but punching the ass would bring me pleasure.
Anyway, maybe there should be a note on all links to jerry sullivan articles that says "Warning: article written by prick"
-
The guy was awfully silent last week after a win. This week, he can't contain his glee over a loss.
Hey Sullivan - :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: - in the butt with a 2x4.
-
Just you wait. As soon as Losman has a bad game, everyone will B word because he's not playing like Rothlesberger. Then he'll be called a bust, and Donahoe will be frankenstein's monster. Trust me.

1. Zero rushing TDs.
2. Penalties.
3. WRs with hands of stone.
4. Poor playcalling.
5. Crappy o-line.
Don't misuderstand, Drew is a big part of the problem, but when Losman gets in there and we experience many of the same problems we have now, please don't start calling for his head like a lynch mob. A rookie QB isn't going to fix this atrocity. Temper your expections with a new QB. Patience.

Teauge has actually been a bright spot on the line this year. He's been one of the best players. Why screw that up?
