He belongs in the Hall of Shame for almost making sure the Bills leave Buffalo after he dies.

Better question would be what season ticket holder lives the furthest. There is a guy in my town, about 400 miles. Goes to about half the games a year.

Orakpo. Guys, it's all about the pass rush and we ain't got one.
Is Bert Berry a free agent? He's looked pretty good in the playoffs.

The off-season is usually the highlight of the season for Bills fans, IMO. After the season is over, everyone's undefeated in 09 at least until September.
I don't have any confidence in the Bills front office either because Ralph has absolute control. We also know Brandon isn't anything more than a public face, and has little say when it matters most. If what we read was true about who favored and opposed keeping DJ, I'd say Russ objected strongly and went against Ralph given the marketing angle he's been handed.
If the very guy who was promoted to COO and quasi GM doesn't have enough say, then what else can RW swoop in and overrule him about?
Good Post!
-
That confuses me because Meeks is unemployed (at least I think he is). The biggest reason he won't be coming here IMO is because it would upset continuity which is very important in the NFL where it is difficult to win in weather that is sometimes interesting even if you do practice well (indoors) on Friday.

The day that a DE has to be 275lb is over- a lot of really good ones are in the 250-265 range- which makes you wonder why people still feel you need for 320+ pound OTs - but I digress - I look at the DEs this year and say there's not a one that I'm head over heels with, and of course even DEs who are going to develop into good or great players often do not do much their rookie year- I was looking at Richard Dent a while back and he had 3 sacks his rookie year and 17.5 sacks his next year- I don't think any of the highly rated DEs from last year set the world on fire so if you are looking to get good fast a DE is probably not going to do it.
I don't care. Stop the bull sh-- excuses. Take Orakpo if he's there. It is worth the gamble. Best pass rusher available. NO MORE KELSEY!
-
I will be pissed if we go in any direction other than a front 7 impact player on D.

If Orakpo is there and we don't take him, it would be yet another reason to hate this organization. -
What's more, Mularkey wanted to bring him in as his offensive coordinator and TD nixed that idea.
-
New England uses three def. tackles as their down linemen. We could do the same thing with Stroud, Johnson and Williams. Move Schobel to outside linebacker. Play Digiorgio inside with Poz-Voila! Unfortunately this staff doesn't know from the 3-4. But it is a much better D.

Buffalo Bills: We're Still In The NFL, Technically
or, for marketing purposes:
Buffalo Bills: 3 Points/Game Or Your Money Back
We're still in the NFL technically. FUNNY
-
Being that hope springs eternal, is there a chance DJ is crazy like a fox and the Bills will be good in 09?
Funniest post I've read in a while. You can't keep a Bills fan down. Rich Eisen calls him the "Cagey" Dick Jauron. Not sure why.
-
Ralph doesn't give a poop about Bills fans. If he did , he would have sold the team or at least taken steps to ensure the team stays in Buffalo after his death. Whoever heard of auctioning off an NFL team? His final legacy will be moving trucks lining up at One Bills Drive and screwing the fans one last time.
-
I think Pat Bowlen is crazy. Two Superbowl wins! I'd give my left nut to win a playoff game.
-
well spoken.
-
Played for the Bills.
Memember of the 1965 AFL Championship Team
He is cursed as a head coach
We are cursed as a franchise
AJ Smith fired him
We fired AJ Smiths boss
Am I crazy or are the stars starting to align.
It's a constellation, baby!

Brett should retire.

I think our Offensive coaching problems are so severe that's it's almost impossible to accurately determine if any specific player is a problem.
We have no offensive identity. The OC has zero situational awareness when calling plays. The blocking schemes are dysfunctional, to say it nicely. The coaches have no idea of how to use the personnel that are on the team. The QB rarely moves in the pocket to create passing lanes. They regularly play without tempo and in complete ignorance of the game clock. Basic NFL plays are almost completely absent from our playbook. Just to name a few problems off the top of my head.
We all spend so much time talking about this play or that playor about this player or that player; but when you watch the Bills play and almost any other team it is blatantly obvious that we don't have a professional NFL offense. Timing routes, play action, slants, offensive rhythm - when was the last time we saw a Bills' offense with any of those things? It would be embarrassing except that most of my friends don't watch the Bills play so they have no idea our truly inept our offense can be.
That summarizes it nicely. The coaching was almost too inept to judge the quality of the players. I do believe we have some overrated o-linemen though.
-
I actually thought the guy came on in the second half of the season and was starting to play decently. Now the memory I take into the off-season is him getting into it with someone with 14seconds left on the clock!
-
Are we seriously considering drafting another top-10 pick safety?
Draft the best freaking lineman on the board.

Dockery has been nothing but average his entire time in Buffalo and today he was less then average. How Preston puts himself in that position before the half I have no idea. I know it's easy to take shots at Jauron but Preston has to understand the situation and the Center is suppose to be the leader of the line and he should be running back to the line of scrimmage to prepare for the field goal attempt. Even in his sound bites after the game he took no responsiblilty for his actions. He certainly has his faults but this season is not all on Jauron.
This team's identity is a that they have a very good special teams unit and that is it. We need to focus all of our offseason efforts to improve one side of the ball. I don't care if it's offense or defense but we need to be great on at least one side of the ball.
Agreed. Start with the mediocre defense.
-
Yes, but the blueprint makes sense for the Bills. Get a great not good D along with a running game, which we have to set up the pass. I think we are yound and improving on offense but the D needs help.
that thinking is so out of date. In the NFL, you must throw the football successfully.

From Ralph's presser after the meeting....
"Ladies and gentlemen, while I'm proud to be associated with Dick Jauron, a man of the highest caliber, we have agreed that the Bills will need to head in a new direction. This will also allow Dick to take his long desired position as a Wal-Mart Associate, effective immediately. We have already begun our search (with the State of New York unemployment office) for
our new Head Coach. Thanks for the Millions".

Call me skeptical but I'm not sure of your credibility with your vague reference to "my sources". I mean, is one of your souces the bar hop for Wilson's luxury box because that would be pretty reliable. Maybe your source is a parking attendant who warmed up Russ Brandon's car. Surely your "sources" are more credible than those of a John Clayton, Chris Mortenson, Adam Schefter, Mike Florio or any other one of these other assclowns who refer to "my sources." Can't wait to see the Pass the Pipe segment on ESPN.
That aside your observations are astute. Trent Edwards has not figured out how to play in the cold. Last week in Denver only his left hand was gloved. Today both were gloved. You would think after two years he would have figured what system works best and stuck with it. Oh wait, Jauron has the team practice indoors.
Why do we practice exclusively indoors before home games? Might DJ be guilty of coddling the players? Do the Pats practice indoors?

Can't say I disagree. I've wanted them to take a DE every year. But what I'm seeing lately is that Mack is not that highly rated.
