Russ Brandon maybe?

Spoken like a true Pats* fan.....still stinging from last week's choke job, no doubt. As to the topic at hand, I'd be ecstatic if we got Dungy. I'm not sure what folks are smoking above bashing him. He had a major hand in building two great winning teams, first in Tampa and then in Indy, taking teams that were perennial losers before he got there and turning them into winners. What's not to like?

Terrible news--I thought I just saw Chris announcing a college game last weekend or maybe the weekend before. Always liked him as a player and he's actually a good announcer to boot. Sincere condolences to Chris and his family......

Your lips to God's ear--I, for one, would be ecstatic if we got Tony Dungy to come out of retirement to coach our team, with or without Vick.....

Let's not rip Scott until we know what the reason is--in the NFL that could be anything from "I don't feel like playing" to "I have a parent dying", so let's withhold judgment please until we know what it was. Remember, these guys are human beings, too.....

If they fire Mauron, Brandon should join him. Our FO is all around brutal and having a non-football man in the head role is a big part of it. Clean sweep is what I want at this point, the sooner, the better....

I love this team, having followed them for almost 40 years, but your post hit the nail right on the head for me as well. I've become a disinterested observer the last few weeks. I'm not sure when that happened, but it has and it's really sad. I'll keep watching, but Jauron's ineptness and the team's just pitiful on-field performances have really sucked the life out of my fandom. I'll always love the Bills and will watch every game, but I just feel like my "fan soul" has been ripped from my body by the assclowns that run this team right now.....

My bad--just saw the other thread. Never mind.....

The $80 million man isn't even good enough to start in SF apparently. Wow--I didn't see that coming. I thought he'd played pretty well for the 9ers...... http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/...rback-clements/

I went as well with my dad and we had a great time. Went to the Epicenter for dinner a couple nights and Ratcliffe on the Green another (too rich for our palates!) and tailgated at a Bills-Panthers tailgate we read about on another board--felt like I was about 15 years too old and I'm not all that old, but we had a good time! Nice stadium, friendly fans and folks in the city. Everything was amazingly convenient since the stadium's in the city. Good overall experience.....

Alllrrriiigghhttt, we're the tops of the bottom!!!!

With that payroll it's more of a shock when they don't win the World Series than when they do. When you spend three times what the average team spends how do you lose a single game, much less a championship? MLB and the Yankees are the exact opposite of what Bills fans should want. If those same standards apply to the NFL (I'm talking to you, Jones, Kraft and Snyder), the best the Bills could hope be would be the Montreal Expos of the NFL--a decent farm team for the big money teams who steal their players as soon as their rookie deals are up......

You beat me to it....

John, I thought I noticed in the AP story last night posted by ESPN that they referenced his first concussion as being something like "against Arizona on Oct. 5" (ie., they didn't mention that it was last year), which struck me as odd at the time. I bet that's the culprit here. I suspect that they misedited your story, which I strongly suspect (knowing you) had the right year date on it originally. Just a hunch....

That's too bad--from what I've read about him he actually sounds like a very nice guy off the field. The "gentle giant" type with a wide variety of interests beyond football. I never root for injuries to opponents, although it's too bad the same thing hasn't happened to someone more deserving instead like, say, Vince Wilfork (and not just 'cause he's a Pat*, but more due to his style of play)......

Fouts mentioned that as well on the broadcast yesterday--I guess if you're not Tom Brady or Peyton Manning they don't throw the flag. What a joke....

Not a chance--they'd never have the class to show back up here. Hats off to our Jet friend......

Yeah, baby!!! About time!!!

I've been here screaming at my TV--"We need 5 more yards to make this a makeable FG in this wind!" and instead Dick just lets the clock run out after running a wide sweep play instead of just running up the gut twice to get those 4-5 yards. Incredible, just incredible.....

Nice call--so, tell me, do we win this game?

Plus 1..........

Agreed, but it seems to be a given that ANY new owner of the Bills, in Buffalo or elsewhere, is going to have the debt to finance, so the question becomes where is it easier to finance the debt? Unfortunately, I'd say the answer is likely to be outside Buffalo--a shrinking population, little to no corporate HQs, an average income per resident that is less than most other parts of the country, etc. Realistically, I think the best Bills fans can hope for after RW's passing is that the team is sold to someone who will keep the team in the region--ie., the Niagara Frontier Bills, playing some games in Toronto and some in Buffalo. A sad state some may say, but much preferable to the other option of moving to a place like LA.....

I think Rodney passed that info on to Junior and some of the other guys over at Gillette--you know the team full of "over the hill vets" who just seem to crank it up a notch after arriving in Cheatsville. The only reason Rodney was caught was he was dumb enough to use his own name and address when ordering the stuff. How many of his old teammates were smart enough not to do that--I'm wagering a whole bunch of them myself.....

I lived in Japan for a year in the early 90s and missed all those games (including the Oilers comeback game) other than the Super Bowl when Dallas blew us out, which I got to watch early in the morning before work.....
