Feeley was so great with the Dolphins

Jauron is from Massachusetts-the same state that brought you John Kerry's "I voted for it before I voted against it" It must be something in the water.

Because nobody wants him for opening day.

I caught the 2nd half on my cable. Why is it every time I watch UB, I think I'd rather have Turner Gill as the Bills head coach than Jauron?

If not having a "real" GM is wrong, Ralph might not want to be right. Take a look at the last 2 drafts & they are starting to look like the type of drafts that help build championships. Last year's draft might not yield any superstars, but it is looking solid top to bottom. By next year, 2 of the 3 7th round picks could be starting (if not sooner). This year's draft is looking pretty good too. All but our 6th made the team. Once again this draft looks good top to bottom. We're looking at this draft yielding 5 to 6 starters by next year. Contrast these 2 drafts to real GM TD's last 2 drafts-only Lee Evans & Roscoe Parrish are still in the league. In his 5 years Donahoe's day 2 players were basically milk carton guys. Only Bannan, McGee, Aiken & Preston (who sucked) had any type of NFL careers. Since he left, day 2 players unearthed include: K. Williams, Butler, Ellison, Wendling, Schouman, Corner, Fine, Bell, Johnson, Nelson, Harris & Lankster. The 7th round is no longer a throw away.

I've learned not to question Vic Carucci, or read into what Jauron says.

He's probably going on the Practice Squad tomorrow & will be available if needed.

Last year's draft reaffirms my long standing philosophy that you can tell in year 2 whether a QB is a bust. The Packers are not afraid to put the bust label on 2nd round pick Brohm after 2 camps and a season. The Patriots felt the same way about the weatherman O'Connell. A guy certainly can improve beyond his 2nd year, but you can tell the busts quickly enough. The excuses we've seen that Johnson & Losman just needed more time were proven wrong-the more time just meant a longer than necessary ticket out of the NFL.

Unless they want to hire 1 of the 2 other fired OCs who else is out there in September? They had no choice but to hire from within. Based on the Bills offensive record, who within the organization would have satisfied you? If you have a name, tell us who you want.

I live about 295 miles from the stadium & try to make every game. From 10/21/90 through 11/4/07 I never missed a regular season or playoff home game. The streak ended on 11/18/07 with the Sunday night New England game. I had to visit my parents for Thanksgiving & had to get there early because my mother was having an eye implant that Monday. My father ended up in the hospital, the day before the game (Good thing I hadn't traveled to Buffalo) but we got him out for Thanksgiving. It turned out that was our last Thanksgiving together, they both passed away in 2008. I'm so glad that I missed that game, I can't think of a better way to end a streak than the extra time I spent there Thanksgiving week.

DBs: McGee McKelvin Corner Florence Lankster Whitner Scott Byrd Wilson Wendling or Simpson That's 10 DBs.

After the Bills shock the world & beat NE "Who here thought we'd win? You're a liar, you're a liar, you're a liar"

WTF? I was being sarcastic about the idiots who have written off our season based on a few meaningless exhibition games. How do you get that I'm a Giants fan from that?

That wasn't my point. Corner had the team made day 1. My point was that Jauron, while praising Corner, was cryptically saying why he's letting Youboty go-he wants reliable players, like Corner on his team, not guys who don't show up all the time, like Youboty.

Carucci just said on the postgame show that he expects Youboty to make the team. I disagree. My opinion is based on what Jauron said about Corner in the post game press conference. Jauron said Corner is always there, games, practices etc. I think it was a final slap at Ashton Youboty while praising another CB.

He was a DE who was erroneously listed in the 2005 media guide as a 6'4" 275 lb cornerback.

For all those who believe pre season means anything- We're winning opening night!

He was suspended months before he went to jail. Vick wasn't in jail 2 years, he started his jail time in November 2007 (about 3 weeks before his actual sentence. No matter how you spin it, he WAS suspended before, during & after his prison sentence was served or even determined. In fact, he was suspended while still "innocent until proven guilty" So until you know what you're talking about, you would be wise to refrain from calling others stupid.

Were you in the car?

I think he was in for a visit this year & left unsigned.

When he lights it up against Tampa Bay, on opening DAY*, nobody will care what happened in the 5th preseason game when most teams only play 4 & still don't play most of their starters. *not crazy enough to say he'd light it up opening night.

...and you can do that for about half that in Buffalo.

Crum has never played a down of pro football & nobody in the NFL wanted him. Prude had 1 decent NFL season & got waived out of the league a couple of seasons later. Sams is about the only non no-name California has. Pettiti started for the Cowboys & Murphy was in & out of the NFL for a few years.

I give up, I'm just going to listen to the Bills game on our local radio station & watch the Jets & possibly surf the Giants since both are on in Albany.
