Of all the things said by Nix & Gailey, one thing should jolt the people who think Brian Brohm is our QB of the future into reality: Gailey was noncommittal on the quarterback situation. He and Nix have discussed the status of Ryan Fitzpatrick and Trent Edwards, but Gailey said he needs time to study the players on film before making an honest evaluation of them. "I know both guys have had some success playing in the NFL, but they have not done it for a length of time with consistency," Gailey said. "Can they? We're going to decide that." Brohm was not mentioned, because that's how little he is regarded by the guys in charge. He was a 3rd stringer plucked off a practice squad after nobody else was even willing to claim him off waivers just 1 year after being a 2nd round pick. It's time to face reality, Brohm fans. He may be YOUR starting QB for 2010, but he will not be the Bills starting QB.

Brohm won't be on the Bills roster in a year-bank on that!

Wiki is only showing NFL. He coached a long time before 1991. He was the head coach of San Antonio in the USFL's last season in 1985. " Bates began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at his alma mater, Tennessee, in 1968. He later had stops at Southern Mississippi, Villanova, Kansas State, West Virginia and Texas Tech. After working for three seasons in the USFL with the San Antonio Gunslingers (for whom he was the head coach in 1985) and the Arizona Outlaws, Bates returned to the collegiate level at Tennessee in 1989 and then Florida in 1990." http://www.buccaneers.com/news/newsdetail.aspx?newsid=6922

Marty is like the girl who keeps turning you down when you ask her out, then gets PO'd when she sees you with another woman. All Marty had to do was say "I'm interested" when the Bills coaching job opened. Instead he insisted he was through coaching. WTF is his game?

Dick Jauron -Ralph is already paying him.

I would love to go back & look at the articles from the media folks 1st when we went in house & hired Polian & then when he brought his mentor, Marv Levy in as the head coach.

I travel to WNY, see friends, make a weekend out of it. Maybe the fact that I'm not in WNY and don't take it for granted helps. When the Bills win I'm entertained, when the Bills lose I laugh at them & I'm entertained. I don't know of any other form of sports entertainment that is as enjoyable as going to an NFL game. I even found a UFL game I went to entertaining. I just love going to football games.

Screw you, I'm renewing.

Edited Are you Brohm, his brother or his lady?

Only one more game for the Jets.

What I don't get is why when Berman said, "It's over, it's over...for Houston." it wasn't on the clip. Funny story I taped the game from NBC's pregame through the postgames & right after the touchdown to make it 35-10 the tape ran out. I just replayed that part where Berman said that one thing edited out. This is the 1st time I saw the rest of the highlights after the tape ran out. That tape got shipped to WNY the following week & was copied a bunch of times for Bills fans.

The Bills (Ralph) and Wade didn't just burn bridges with each other, they nuked them. Not only did Ralph fire Wade, but he cut off Wade's health insurance without letting Wade know. Wade would rather work with a peewee team for free than ever work for Ralph again. Unfortunately, this isn't the only time Ralph & a coach went out on ridiculous terms. Just look at the Wall of Fame sans Lou Saban & look back to the ugly incident when John Rauch quit in camp. Chuck Knox didn't leave until 1983, but the day Tom Cousineau signed with the CFL rather than accept Ralph's lowball offer in 1979 was the beginning of the end for him in Buffalo. It's too bad Ralph has turned off so many coaches over the years. Part of our problem today is Ralph's history with coaches. Amazingly, at age 91, he's basically considered the same ******* that he was 30-50 years ago. At least it shows Ralph has 100% of his faculties-and that might be the problem in attracting a new coach. PS: I'm rooting for the Cowboys for 3 reasons. 1) I'm more tired of Brett Favre's primadonna act than any hatred for the Cowboys. 2) Wade is a likeable fellow & wish him the best. 3) I picked the Cowboys this week in my playoff pool.

I agree with most of what you're saying. We shouldn't be expecting a guy who was plucked off Green Bay's practice squad to end up starting for us at one of the most important positions on the team. However, I'd rather go QB if a good one is available at #9 and get our LT in free agency or draft tackles in rds 2 &/or 3. Jamon Meredith is Green Bay's (and now our) garbage, just like Brian Brohm. If either one or both of them go to camp with a chance of starting, we're in for a really long season in 2010. (No devil or any other emoticon needed for this post because I'm not kidding in this one)

Have you looked at an apartment complex? As long as you can demonstrate you can pay the rent & put down 1-2 months security, they'll rent to you. I think your problem is you're trying to find an apartment on the cheap, so you're going to homes where people see someone your age & figure you're out of there in a year or 2. Worse, they see 2 guys and figure it's twice as likely one will move out and the other won't be able to afford the rent. They want someone who won't move because every time they change tenants it costs them money. Apartment complexes don't care as much about the turnover. Someone who owns a 2 family house is living on the edge if they lose a tenant.

Once you start calling a guy out of touch because of his age, you lose all credibility with anyone who has known senior citizens who are or were sharp at what you'd consider an advanced age. Nothing gets me more riled up than seeing punks calling Ralph out of touch, senile, in diapers etc. You punks know nothing about Ralph, his mental capacity etc. Here's a clue-listen to the guy at his press conferences-he may talk a little too slow for you, and the team may be managed poorly (at least for on the field performance), but there is nothing to indicate he's anything other than 10x more on the ball than those who knock him. Another thing-nobody except Ralph & people close to him know what the succession plan is-it may be very solid, nobody here knows.

The guy slipped lower than expected in the draft and then GB put him on the practice squad. I believe all along he was brought in to be the LT next season. The guy showed a lot of promise this year, even though he came in late and was just thrown in there with very few reps in practice. Just look at what he did in the last game playing LT. The Bills don't need an upgrade, just let him come to camp & compete with Bell. We can concentrate on other positions in the draft.

Somebody posed the question :Are there any discontinued products that you would pay almost any price to be able to buy again? I answered Buffalo Bills playoff tickets.

Yankees-I get to see meaningful wins & I even saw a World Series game last year.

Other than letting him play against minor leaguers, 98% who can't play at the NFL level, what did Fassel do for JP? I watched all the games & it was same old JP. The only difference was the level of competition.

The guy is a pedophile and nobody should defend him. Years ago he got friendly with Randy Rhodes & she would have him on & then always talk about how he was innocent of a past arrest for trolling for teenaged girls on the internet. She lost all credibility with me defending Ritter. Unfortunately the guy lives in the same town I do (fortunately I've never met or seen him) & as soon as he messes up it's on the local news. Nobody should ever believe the guy isn't a low life dirtbag. http://content.usatoday.com/communities/on...ild-sex-sting/1

I pull over when I hear the siren. I don't then pull back & speed up enough to get within reading distance of the firetruck. What are you doing driving behind firetrucks, that seems pretty dangerous? Unless you're a fireman or have taken a tour of a fire station, you shouldn't know that answer.

The he didn't fit the GB system is the lamest excuse I've ever heard for a QB. When Brohm, a 2nd round pick the prior season didn't make the Packers' opening day roster, not 1 NFL team-all of them had looked at film & in person games of his in college, took a flyer on him for free. Why didn't they think he just didn't fit GB's system & pick him up with such an obvious skill set? None of them, prior to GB waiving him tried to trade for him, otherwise he would have been theirs. Instead, people like you hold out the irrational hope that the Bills 2009 front office is smarter than every other team, including the Polians & Newsomes. Brohm's skill set may have translated to the college game, but it doesn't in the NFL. I'd say the chances of Brohm being a pre-season cut are a lot better than him being our starter next year.

Anyone who would make such a ridiculous statement is the one who is clearly mentally incompetent.
