Thinking it over, I've decided the worst thing that happened to the Bills in the last four seasons was the fact that Gregg Williams gave a dynamite interview to TD when he was looking for a coach after Wade Phillips was fired. Gregg Williams was a long-shot; he had no relationship with Donohoe. John Fox and Ted Cottrell and Marvin Lewis were the names most frequently mentioned as likely replacements for Phillips. But TD was dazzled by Williams and took a fatal chance. Donohoe has taken a lot of heat for bad decisions he has made as Bills' GM, but this descision was his first and by far his worst mistake. The others have been pretty sound, but rolling the dice on Williams was a gutsy call that filed miserably, cost the team three wasted years, and which may end up costing TD his job. If Mularkey doesn't turn the ship around this season, the pressure on Wilson to fire TD will be great. Hindsight is 20-20, but the minute Gregg showed up with his lists of inexperienced assistant coaches and his air horn, TD should have started second guessing himself--like a guy who went to the bar last night and wakes up the next morning in a strange bed wondering who this woman is next to him. Must have been the dim light and after six gin-and-tonics.

I absolutely hate it. Very bad idea. I'd rather see McGee or this new kid Williams or Reed or some other less essential player. Sehorn wrecked his career by insisting on returning kickoffs. I will be crossing my fingers every time Clements returns a punt this season.

Might want to see some more, but I say Matthews is an upgrade.

...except for the penalties. I have reasonable hopes for the regular season. They may start slow, but I think, barring injuries, they will be playing good ball by the end of the first month. I like the play calling, the emphasis on running, the fact that the O-line may be coming around, Bledsoe's getting rid of the ball quicker. Shane Matthews, though he looked rusty at first, is oging to be a good insurance policy. he does nothing spectacular, but he is quick, moves in the pocket, gets rid of the ball, and handles the short passing game okay. For a run-first offense, he may be just the ticket.

They've got to keep him. They guy is quick AND fast, like a water bug. I love the way he runs.

local paper says 7 pm; Bills schedule says 8 pm. Can you help asap? Thanks.

And please don't anyone think for a minute that I support either side on this BS issue. Personally, I think all parties involved in this stupid argument should be given a spanking and sent to bed without their supper. No matter how thin you slice it, it's still baloney. 7805[/snapback] Pardon me, but for days you ahve been bending over backwards to give credence to the SBVT when they have contradicted themselves repeatedly, been caught in more than one lie, and presented no evidence other than hearsay for their accusations. Now you're backpedaling and saying you're neutral. Right.
