Albany,n.y.

If he's the bus driver to the stadium, maybe. But more likely, he'd figure a short cut to outsmart the traffic flow, get lost & the game would be declared a forfeit in the Bills' opponent's favor. I think the anti-Mularkey replies by posters who read this before me sum up my thoughts quite nicely.

A tradition of signs in Ralph Wilson stadium is dying. Why? -Because of the arrogant jerks who are running the organization. Years ago, the stadium was filled with signs. The Buffalo News would always have a paragraph on Monday-"Best Sign (or banner,whatever)" Since Commandant Donahoe has taken control, the sign is a dying art form. The correct criteria is to prohibit obscene and offensive signs. Since when does a sign offensive to one man (Donahoe or Mularkey) qualify for banishment. Maybe it's time to let Ralph know we want our team & stadium back. The tradition of calling for a coach or gm's job has always been with signs across the NFL, suddenly it's gone in Buffalo and other places. I remember watching tv games where Philly fans had "Joe must go" plastered all over the stadium and one Thanksgiving there was the famous "The Lions need to G(et) R(id) O(F) W(ayne) planted conspicuously in the end zone where a camera won't miss it. Now, they won't even let me write "Fire Mularkey" in the snow below my seat. This policy is ridiculous!

Unless TO can block & pass rush, he's a luxury we can't afford-on the salary cap & in the locker room. Moulds will be replaced by a veteran free agent, not Josh Reed. This team is 2 years at best from contending for any championship-I can just see TO's reaction to Buffalo-the guy didn't want to play in Baltimore, why would he go to Buffalo? Get Real!

Falcons | Ritzmann signed Wed, 14 Dec 2005 19:25:06 -0800 AtlantaFalcons.com reports the Atlanta Falcons have signed Buffalo Bills DL Constantin Ritzmann off of the team's practice squad.

You're half right. I looked up the salary cap stuff & deleted my post before I saw your reply so I could straighten things out. However-get this straight-GB LOST NO PICKS. The league gave extra picks to the Eagles at no cost to the Packers. So if I appologize for the cap stuff, you have an applogy due for the GB lost 2 picks stuff.

Willis will be fine once a new coach comes in and gives him a good kick in the @ss. He's just demoralized as is 1/2 the team.

Ralph calls Marv "A fine young man"

Only if he serves it in Attica

Then you're probably pretty young. I've watched this team for a long time and this is hardly the most frustrating year I've ever watched. Ask the people who watched in the late 60s, mid 70s, & mid 80s and you'll hear horror stories a lot worse than this season. I don't even know where to begin, but at least no top draft choices have signed with the CFL nor has any player signed with a new football league.

I heard it too, guy was named Nick so I'm pretty sure it was our own Nick in England.

Before the game started, I wrote in the snow in front of our seats "Fire Mularkey". As the game & snow went on it wore out. I fixed it late in the 3rd or early in the 4th and within a couple of minutes stadium people were there. I had to rub the words out of the sign before they left. I thought I was in danger of being thrown out if I didn't erase it. After the game Petrino called "The Coach" & told him about it.

If TD ends up in St. Louis, he can take Jerry Gray with him. ...and Jerry can take Mularkey with him-as his offensive coordinator. Within 2 years the Rams will be the latest NFL laughingstock.

The last two GMs that were fired got theit walking papers during the season. Polian agreed to stay until the end of the season***. Butler or Ralph didn't make the same deal. In another post Rockpile asked where was TD and why Ralph came in from Detroit to handle the situation. Well, if TD is there in title only, having agreed to atay until the end of the season, it would answer his question. ***-When I was flying back from Super Bowl XXVII, I called my friend in Depew. a teacher at St. Francis, where Polians kids went to high school. He gave me the scoop, a few days before the official announcement. Polian had been fired in mid season, but agreed to stay with the team through the Super Bowl. The fact that he told me on Tuesday that Polian was fired and the team didn't announce it until a few days later leads me to conclude the part about Polian being fired mid season is accurate.

I agree, MM & TD are gone. Reading between the lines, I'll guess what Ralph said to Eric, poetic license meter on high: "The coach wants to suspend you for the rest of the season. I had to come here and settle this because even though I know he's wrong, I can't publicly side with a head coach over a player. Eric, son, I have to have some credibilty when I hire a new coach next January, so take the one game suspension. If the next coach feels you're important to his offensive schemes, I hope you'd consider taking a pay cut and staying here, because you mean a lot more to me than those two idiots I currently have in charge, who are embarrassing both of us and running my team into the ground. Finally Eric, I'd like you to have these 2 pies my wife baked you. Now the one on the left, cut it and enjoy, it tastes great. The other pie, be careful how you cut it, it may not be too tasty, but when you open it up, you'll feel like $93,000-if you know what I mean (wink, wink)."

Lost control in his 2nd season so that we wouldn't have to wait any longer to fire him, paving the way for Ralph to realize that he needs a big time coach instead of Donahoe's experiments. In 2006 the Bills hired xxxxxxxxxxx, which started the Bills dynasty of the 21st century. If Mularkey had just been adequate, he never would have been fired after just 2 seasons of a 5 year contract and the Bills would have continued to wallow in mediocrity. Mularkey being so bad is his greatest accomplishment for this franchise.

Tom is 0-2 so far for coaches, but if you step back and think about it, I don't think there's any chance that Mularkey will be fired. Why? Because we have a young QB who has taken a while to develop in this offense, and asking him to start over with a new offense will take us back to Losman in a rookie state with a little bit more game savvy. I don't think Ralph wants to start over. I think he wants people to stand up and be counted. Mularkey will be fired because he has lost the team and no coach can survive that. If Ralph has some stones, he'll fire Donahoe & Mularkey today. I know that won't happen, but unless Mularkey proves that he can get along with the players he's gone. Even Willis is calling this chaos. Ralph will not stand for this more than 4 more weeks.

Signs won't work! They will just take them away at the gate, or if you sneak them in, they'll take them from you in the stands. The only thing that will work is getting the fans to verbally abuse TD & MM in unison. Let's get it done Sunday!

The Moulds episode is just one in what continues to be a disrespect by management of guys who toiled for years in a Bills uniform. In recent years we've see: Eric Moulds' career end in a stupid conflict, Sam Adams playing his last season under a cloud of he said-he said between Sam's agent & Mularkey, Pat Williams leaving angry, Ruben Brown not being permitted to finish his season because mgt didn't want him here on his last game here, Steve Christie being put on IR then waived in TD's 1st season, and going back a few years-the release of Bruce Smith, Andre Reed and Thurman Thomas on the same day. I could go on with the history of coaches like Wade being fired, not even informed that his family's health insurance was cancelled and Ralph not willing to pay him, Chuck Knox leaving here for Seattle because of Ralph's stinginess, Lou Saban not on the wall and John Rauch being thrown under the bus by Ralph, forcing his resignation. The bottom line is this stuff has always happened under Ralph's direction. I could even go back to Cookie Gilchrist.

That's why I'm advocation verbal abuse. If we can get at least half the stadium calling for TD to be fired in unison, they can't do a thing.

I hope Ralph puts MM in the same position he put John Rauch in.

Recently, some legislator had Petrino's boss on the phone and was yelling at him & all he could do was listen, so the answer is yes.

Especially around here (it was an inside joke-Petrino's boss is named Aiken & I figured only he would understand it & the rest of you would be kind of perplexed)

I saw Carson's last game as Cleveland's head coach. I went on a Sunday/MNF trip that started in Cleveland where the Bills destroyed the Browns in their own stadium & by the time I got to Indianapolis for the Giants/Colts MNF game, Carson was fired.

Fire Mularkey and give him Aiken's job.
