  1. Buy a one way ticket to Siberia and use it. Happy New Year
  2. Link http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2274314
  3. It's a little tougher when daddy takes away the two wheeler and locks it away in the shed. All the kid can do is imagine riding the bike as he sits in his room instead of being outside riding the bike. The kid doesn't get any better at bike riding doing this.
  4. Sometimes they call QBs "Coach Killers". We might have a coach who eventually will be labled "QB Killer"
  5. Now I'm not sure JP Losman will ever be a quality starter in the NFL, and the way he's being handled, the bust column is looking more likely. Mike Mularkey obviously has no faith in JP. I don't know any QB, who has not established himself, who has been able to overcome this impediment to his progress. The most recent example here was when QB coach Turk Schonert stopped coaching RJ and jumped on the Flutie bandwagon. The only way I can see JP having any future in Buffalo is if Mularkry is fired and a head coach who is totally neutral gets to evaluate JP in next year's camp. If Mularkey is still around, then Ralph and his GM have to let Mularkey dump JP & find a new QB. Maybe JP IS the next Cade McNown-It was always a possibility with his attitude. He also might be the next Brett Favre, who thrived once he got away from a coach who thought too little of him. If Mularkey stays, the team should do itself a favor and just move on to the next QB Of The Future. Fire Mularkey or fire JP, this team isn't big enough for the two of them. And whoever they get rid of, let's all hope it's the right one. It could just be that they're both busts at their position and in a couple of years they'll both be gone-if that's the case, it might be the best thing and the sooner the better.
  6. The Jets can play for next year because their management plans on being there next year. Here we've got a GM who is days away from being fired and could care less about next year. The coach is a chickens***, who is so desperate save his own job that he can only look at this season. With any luck, Ralph will see through his charade & fire him too.
  7. You're right about the injury part. Personally, I'd never take a RB in the top 5 because that position is the most dangerous due to the hits taken. (Although it did work for the Bills when they took a guy famous for his slashing style)
  8. We're all entitled to our opinions, but NO merit is ridiculous. In order for a high pick to work, you have to assume competent management (which we don't currently have). Mike Williams was too heavy to be drafted that high & Leaf was a major head case who exhibited his craziness at the combine but SD ignored it. High draft choice + competent mgt=success. Think of the 90s Bills without Bruce Smith.
  9. Richard Seymour is a big part of NE's defense. They got him after a bad year. They might not have 3 SB wins without him, especially considering 2 of those wins came on last second FGs.
  10. This sounds just like an argument to start JP next year. How about this, we don't name a head coach for 2006 & let Mularkey fight it out in training camp with his assistants and let the best man win. That's how Mularkey has let the latest QB controversy develop and that's why he must go-he's too indecisive to be a good head coach in the NFL. If JP can't play, cut him & move on, if he can, let him play. Mularkey is jerking everyone around because he won't make a decision & stick with it. This was 1st evident when it took so long last year to replace Henry with McGahee. The guy doesn't have it.
  11. It's official: Bills @ Jets, Channel 6 1pm Sunday Sunday, January 1, 2006 12:00 PM NFL Today 1:00 PM NFL Football: BUFFALO @ NY JETS
  12. I think you should send a copy of you salary cap stuff to Ralph Wilson before he hires his next GM. If guys can go from the broadcast booth to manager & coaching jobs, why can't we get a GM off the internet.
  13. It's been said in many places that TD tried to trade up ahead of Pittsburgh to draft Roethlisberger & got turned down because the guys those teams wanted were still on the board & they were afraid they wouldn't be there at 13. So-he did recognize his talent but was unable to trade up for him. Donahoe basically said as much the day of the draft. By the way, to answer another post here, Mike Williams is not a good example that the draft is a crapshoot-A crapshoot is choosing a guy at pick 4 with a weight problem & trying to justify it to the media by saying he's naturally big. Any college player over 350 pounds should never be a top 5 pick. TD didn't pay attention to his weight & the fact that anyone that big at that young an age usually has some sort of motivational problem-otherwise he would weigh less. It was a pick that a GM with more common sense wouldn't have made.
  14. He's talking Bills. If you have any problems, you may need to download the latest version of Windows Media Player. When I first put it on, it didn't connect me unti I did the new download. http://www.wham1180.com/main.html
  15. How ironic. The Jets lost the 1st one 31-21 to Cleveland.
  16. In 2003 the 4-7 Bills won consecutive home games against the NYG & the NYJ, boosting their record to 6-7 in a futile effort to save a coaching staff before losing their final 3 games to finish 6-10. If the Bills had just lost 1 of those 2 NY games they would have finished 5-11. The 1 game cost the Bills at least 2 positions in the draft. That year, the difference was that had the Bills lost just one more game, they would have drafted Ben Roethlisberger and we wouldn't have the QB controversy that will exist into next season, and we might be a team on the rise, close to Super Bowl contention. So as we celebrate the win against the Bengals, lets just hope we don't rue the day we beat the Bengals (and probably the Jets this Sunday) years from now. Because that one extra win in 2003 altered this team's history for a few years at best.
  17. Lets say this guy has the JP situation totally right, and the current coaches, including Wyche have concluded JP doesn't have the ability to play in the NFL. If that's the case, and they are back next year then they should just go ahead and cut JP. Don't even let him go to minicamp-what's the use, all he will be is a distraction. Once you've decided the young guy doesn't have it, you've got to get rid of him ASAP & start the search for the next QB of the future. Now if they haven't decided that JP is a bust, then what the hell is he doing on the bench! The other possibility is this staff has totally mishandled JP & he has a great future, either with the Bills if this bunch gets fired, or with a team that sees something in him that this staff is missing. Only time will tell.
  18. I'm getting tired of the Mularkey apologists saying he deserves another chance because he's still learning. I didn't hear anyone say that John Fox was still learning on the job when he led the Panthers to the Super Bowl in his 2nd year. I don't hear anything from Chicago that Lovie Smith needs more time to learn to be a good NFL coach. Why is it that the 2 guys TD hired were learning on the job during their entire friggin tenure, but other teams hire coordinators for their 1st coaching job and they don't need to matriculate like our guys do.
  19. Palmer was just about as bad as JP in his 1st 4 starts last year, Lewis kept him in and the benefits are obvious this season. Pulling JP after 4 games & letting him sit now, especially with the record we have is sheer stupidity by a coach who is morphing into a combination of Hank Bullough and Wade Phillips. Terrance McGee won the game for the Bills on Sunday. If JP had started, there's a good chance we would have won and maybe today we'd be comparing JP to Boller as 2 QBs that the light went on for. In JP's last game the team took away Eric Moulds and made JP's failure against NE a lot easier. If Mularkey was sent here by another team to wreck JP's career, he couldn't be doing a better job.
  20. Wade's last game as Head Coach was a 42-23 victory on the road (Seattle) with a veteran QB back at the helm after a California native was injured in a prior game. Wade still got fired.
  21. I thought the most interesting part of the column was this (A possible Bills GM?): Great drafting has set the Bears' foundation. Nine of their defensive starters have come in the draft the past six years, including five Pro Bowlers - Brian Urlacher, Tommie Harris, Mike Brown, Lance Briggs and Nathan Vasher. The Bears' director of college scouting is Buffalo native Greg Gabriel, a Bishop Neumann High and Canisius College graduate.
  22. I was just watching Ch 6 and they just ran an ad saying Bills-Bengals tommorrow at 1. Finally a road game on home TV!
  23. The rumor I heard was that Flutie & Johnson both were brought in to interview. Flutie basically said he'd run the offense that GW was installing, but if it didn't work he was going to do what he usually does & not stick with GW's offense. GW couldn't have a QB who would question his authority if his O was less than successful & the team chose Johnson as a result.
  24. KC got him in 2002 for a conditional pick, which turned out to be pick 78 in the 2003 draft. Meanwhile, our brilliant GM thought it was better to draft Mike Williams and pay him Willie Roaf money when he could have drafted ROY Williams and would not have had to overpay Lawyer Miloy. I'd rather have Roaf, and Roy Williams and have given KC a better offer for Roaf (the 3rd rd pick in 2002 that we used with our 4th to trade up for Denney would have done it). But of course, TD was right and we're so much better with Mike Williams, Ryan Denney & Lawyer Milloy than Willie Roaf & Roy Williams. That's why he's such a great GM. TD fiddled while our OL burned
