i'm still waiting for them to uncover the genius behind iconic "tom donahoe suckz big ballz" sign of 2004.

only a truly classless organization like the patriots would use our obvious tells/playcalling patterns against us.

agreed. dump the third qb to make room for more kickers: regular field goal/PAT kicker, kickoff specialist, and onside kick specialist. the kickoff specialist and onside kick specialist could be on the field at the same time so that the other team never knows what's coming. you could also bring the kickoff specialist on during the PAT just to make it extra confusing for the defense. you could even sprinkle the punter in there if you so desire. the permutations are endless. you can never have enough kickers!

i love how no one in the lamestream media has asked the bills how they feel about the bears signing caussin. he was here for years, so i'm sure he knows all our snap counts. plus, no one finds it curious that they made him their backup qb? dude was a tight end! to me, that's far more out of line than the bills signing palmer.

really looking forward when he's asked about it at today's press conference: wawrow: coach, it looked like you and doug whaley and russ brandon had a heated conversation on the sidelines this afternoon. marrone: excuse me? wawrow: the media could hear you and doug whaley and russ -- marrone: -- oh yeah, we had a great conversation. (marrone looks away) chris brown: coach marrone, the upgrade in the back-up quarterback position today indicates that this is a team that is relentless in its pursuit of excellence. as a coach, it must be invigorating to be captaining a ship that may know no bounds, a team that some consider to be on the cusp of greatness. marrone: yeah, thanks. tim graham: doug, back to the confrontation on the sidelines -- marrone: -- look, obviously what we do and say in the privacy of a public setting is private. tim graham: it sounded like voices were raised, particularly when you directed something at doug and russ. marrone: no, it wasn't directed at them. tim graham: well, it appeared that you looked right at them when you said it. marrone: no, it was directed at the team in general. wawrow: but the team was located 20 yards behind you. marrone: then it was directed at the world in general. look, obviously, it's the same thing i told the jerry hughes last week. russ and doug are like the jerry hughes of team president-ing and general managing. i wish everyone on the team could president and general manage like them. they're just really special people and true professionals. jerry hughes is a great player with a great attitude -- that much should be clear. chris brown: coach marrone, a lot of people are saying that this team is going through the inevitable growing pains associated with becoming a legendary squad, maybe even even approaching the greatness of lombardi's packers. couldn't the argument be made not making the playoffs this year could actually be a good -- and maybe even preferable -- outcome? marrone: thanks, guys. (marrone exits. locks himself in office. turns off all lights. weeps.) (chris brown takes shower, scrubbing himself endlessy, after which he feels no cleaner.) (tim graham settles in for a long night of trolling on twitter.) (wawrow gets in car, selects "pleased to meet me" from his iphone, cranks it up, slips on sunglasses, drives into sunset.) the end.

in honor of whaley's attire, henceforward we shall refer to this moment in time as "towel-gate."

i kinda feel bad for marrone. in almost every presser he seems flustered or annoyed, and now it's carried over to still photos of him as well. if the team sucks this year i could totally see the dude having a complete meltdown. or maybe he's just pissed because someone took his lunch order wrong.

con: doesn't understand how to use email correctly; forwards personal email to random nfl administrative staff. pro: personal email is porn. edit: billsvet beat me to it!

how do both of them compare to jp losman?

once bon jovi gives jim and his bro final say on personnel, it's gonna get really ugly.

i feel like someone should say something like, "it's always darkest before the dawn" so i just did.

he's suggesting that the solution to the team's offensive woes is to rely less on ej and more on the running backs.

he could also get the bills a great deal on a new time warner cable package.

no offense, but i want to boo this post.

who knows? he got booed though.

let's drink 'til we puke like alan branch!

and it shows because you obviously fail to grasp the fundamentals of the game. i'll spell it out for you. hackett is a boy genius. he hoots. he hollers. sometimes he exclaims "yeah, baby!" and fist pumps after a particularly successful play. but that's not the point. let's say ej were to go out there and make a few completions. now how do you think future opponents would react? they probably would start preparing for it, right? the boy genius knows this so he does the opposite and orders ej and co. to stink up the joint. now future opponents come in thinking that it's an easy win, and there's no reason to game plan. they take it easy, maybe don't even arrange a curfew the night before the game. and that's when the bills strike! doing some crazy-ass plays and things you never even heard of -- like a three quarterback wishbone set. or running an exotic blitz while on offense! stuff that's never before been done in the history of the game. total surprise attack. just like when the germans bombed pearl harbor.

it's part of brandon's new "the sun never sets on the bills empire" marketing campaign.

is it slippery?

i don't know anything about a sports bar, but did the food court have a panda express? i love sampling their kung pao chicken.

4 games for a dui? the broncos must be wishing that he beat his wife instead.

This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper.

please. chris brown is the master of these sorts of leading questions. it's the only way to survive as a buffalobills.com reporter. pretty much every "question" he asks begins with him providing the respondent an answer. it's the most annoying thing ever. dude was already tweeting the vanilla offense line midway through the game when the fanbase emitted a collective "WTF???" (i cited it in the gameday thread.) he was going to spin the game that way come hell or high water. i have no idea how good this team will be in the actual season. maybe they'll be fine. maybe the issues were mostly due to missing sammy. i dunno. but to dismiss yesterday's performance as a result of vanilla playcalling seems a bit too easy, methinks. tampa managed to score, and i doubt they were running their opening day offense.

don't be scared. we'll get through this together.

yes....it's the perfect plan...almost too perfect...
