  1. Bills might have the best overall talent in the division, but with this coaching staff, we'll never know.
  2. Exactly. Football is a passionate game and passion sometimes creates some fireworks. If the players and coaches can't handle a little of that once in a while, they shouldn't be there. I've seen more inspiration and passion from some of my kids' football teams and coaches than from the Bills. No exaggeration.
  3. What about Jauron? Could he have won it that year in Tampa?
  4. Buffalo almost made the playoffs several times over the last decade.
  5. It might more profitable to field a winning team than a loser. Winners get playoff revenue, sell more stuff and can charge more for tickets. Even Frugal Ralph should understand this.
  6. Looks like Cohwer, Shanahan, Gruden, Holmgren and Billick might all be available next year. Each has at least one ring. I'd have those 5 on my list and would add a couple of younger guys as well.
  7. No. We expect the Bills to tread water or regress in 2009 and Dick will be fired in 11 months or so.
  8. Tough to do in a state like NY that is so heavily weighted to 1 party and when so many members of that party vote their party regardless of who the candidate is. Al Franken comes to mind in a similar scenario. Good thing for the Bills that both parties want them in Buffalo.
  9. Any QB playing for the Bills and these coaches will look no better than a backup. Trent would have been a star on the Patriots this year.
  10. What's this got to do with the Bills needing a real GM and a new coach? Until then, the players don't matter.
  11. I think the Bills and the City of Buffalo should request a couple billion $$ from the TARP fund. Both are needy.
  12. I believe that any rule/law/policy that favors any race over the other is just wrong. That said, Indy has had Caldwell on their staff for years and they obviously feel that he is head coach material. Teams should be able to hire whoever they want and interview whoever they want.
  13. Jauron likes to use 3rd down to set up the kicking game. Usually to punt but sometimes for a field goal. 4th down can sometimes be used to get a first down, but only if it's really close. It's better to play it safe on 3rd down because you're usually kicking after 3rd down.
  14. Average wasn't good enough for the Bills, even at a depth position.
  15. Hard to believe when his starting QB is a guy with such poise and that 6th sense that so few have.
  16. I don't think it's insulting. This is a place to vent as much as it is to be "rah-rah" about the team. Look to me like venting will be the dominant activity for a while.
  17. "It's hard to win in the NFL"
  18. Given the track record of this coaching staff, nobody should be surprised if JP plays well somewhere in the future. JP's biggest problem is playing in the NFL farm system (the Bills) for too long. Trent should make a move to the big league now if he knows what's good for him.
  19. I don't know about that but I'd simply call the Bills not good.
  20. 1. Identified the head coach as the weakest link on the team. 2. Retained the head coach to better position the team for the Cowher derby in 2010. 3. Maintained continuity and losing for next year to assure another good draft position and to keep the value of Bills free agents low due to lackluster individual performance (a brilliant cost saving move).
  21. Poor Dick Jauron just doesn't have enough talent to make any players look good.
  22. Agree, the roster makeover has done nothing and the coaching has not been improved and that's what the results say. It appears that Ralph has decided to wait another year before he makes any moves. If he can take a year off, so can the fans.
  23. I heard the young man played football before he was jailed.
