Niagara Bill

rumours to keep the cap number on our payroll....

I detest Sullivan, hate is a little too strong, but in this column he makes real points for the first time in months. Rex mouth is far better than his coaching, history shows that. and as for his twin...never was never will be. They both live on Daddys rep He destroyed a highly motivated aggressive D last year, one that had few holes. Now we have to fill 2 or 3 spots (DE, 2 LB) and possible DT and SS (not his fault) Now we have players who no longer believe in what they are doing on D, perhaps the biggest challenge to overcome. I hope he enjoys his mai tai because I would not trust him to make draft selections the only problem is now he can blame Whaley is they miss on a pick. Rex is good at that.

Stop the game and stop naming players as pro bowlers and that will fix it. The players association and agents will go crazy because they use it for bargaining and the players love to have their big egos with probowler written beside their name. (Like Brady...4 time SB champion and 14 times probowler.) It is a dumb game and was started to award the players with a vacation and money. They no longer value that so stop it. We all know that players named to the probowl has nothing to do with talent

The curse was the firing of Polian and the treatment of John Butler. Until now there was no one capable of making a good decision on coaches, drafts and salary cap.

Carolina by 22 points, 32 to 10. Broncos just had their Superbowl beating the Pats

Amen

That would be incredible match, to repeat Max McGee, Ray Nitschke, Willie Lanier, Dawson, Herb Adderley, Willie Wood, The Hammer Williamson, Fuzzy Thurston, wow....what a hype that could be for the fans of KC and GB. Great thought D in Philly

The only reason Jonny $$$$$$ should be in Buffalo is to spend time ay Brylin hospital. If even consideration was given to this stupidity by Rex he should be sent there with Jonny.

There is no possible way that Rex would invite LeBeau to lead or help the defence. His ego would never accept that any other thoughts on D could be better/

I know where...look at the Jets team he coached. We went into the season with a great Special Teams group and came out of it with nothing except penalties and a kicker who lost his confidence. We went into the season with a D that had a great pass rush and young LB like Brown with a huge future. We end up with almost no pass rush and Brown is lost and likely to be replaced.. On August 1st none of this would have been seen by you... or most people on this board. I began to comment on this happening when he decided to change the leadership on the team when Fredex was cut and Rex played dumb like he had nothing to do with it. that was gutless ​ This was bad coaching to kill the D and STeams. Sullivan (whom I dislike) may have a good point.

Well if we think Rex prefers a bad D vs conflict with Pettine, then Pettine should be the head coach here. Frankly when Rex begins to understand he is not a D genius he will be a better head coach. Rex, his brother and father are not D genius.....but all are full of conflict

And this from a guy who loved Doug Flutie

Rex spends more time on drama than coaching. On the other hand after watching his special Defence maybe that is a good thing

I hate the Jets...why would anyone cheer for them. I would hate them even if Jim K was their QB.

I agree with MW on this one. The Dline except Hughes pouted all year over this, that is the wrong way to deal with it but Rex screwed it up and it falls 90% on him and 10% on Pegula and Whaley for hiring the buffoon. Rex has more BS than coach Dickerson when he was on GR55

This is strickly a coaching issue. The D last year was great and so were the special teams. Same personnel basically. Rex is load mouth version of D Jauron. Players coach...my a??....he can't motivate a hungry bear to eat.

Both are considered players coaches both had teams that had too many penalties both played to outsmart the other team and thus faced huge numbers of injuries from lack of aggression both seemed to be out coached and rarely made half time changes that made a positive difference both has terrible O Lines both had defenses that appeared to be better than performance showed both were defensive gurus both protected their players from the press both were controlled by the Gen Mgr on many player decisions (see Langdon Walker and Cassel) both found a .500 record to be a good season both had teams with no visible sign of player leadership well maybe the differences are not so common as the similarities Jauron deserved to be fired!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the most dissappointing season I have ever experienced. Expectations were high as a result of a great defence last year and the Shady trade to help the offense. This poor showing is 100% on Ryan's shoulders. Remember his promise to be a bully defence. Remember his promise to use tight ends to ground and pound. remember the need to have an elite fullback for the run game. Do we have injuries.....yes and that is often cause by being run over as we retreat on defence. People get hurt more often getting hit than doing the hitting. This team is not getting better in week 13 of this NFL season, it is slipping away. Our own home record tells all of us that. Ryan's talk is cheap. Maybe Jests fans were right,

The guy is a wimp. he was rolling around on the ground like he had been shot. He is a bully that every time he gets hit hard he whines. Sorry to say he is from the Buffalo area...but if the shoe fits. ps he is a very good player

This whole argument that he did not know what the punishment would be is nonsense. Why did he have the 2 idiots do it if he did not know that some punishment would be handed out. Why did he destroy his phone. Why not just do it on the sidelines in plain view. This judge should be impeached for wading into a labor issue he has not business being involved in the. The parties agreed to the CBA. There is jurisprudence in Labor Law that either party cannot gain in arbitration what they could not negotiate at the bargaining table. This decision violates that law.

So now the CBA is not under control of the league or the PA that judges have the power to change or ignore whatever they want. I suggest that the Bills should violate the number of players on the rooster rule and keep as many as they want. What will the commish do, fine the team, suspend the team, we can then go to court and win. Judges have NO place in labor issues. This will lead to a challenge of the draft system again and freeagency rules IMHO, if the 2 idiots who did deflate gate knew TB liked the ball softer than regulation and they took it upon themselves to do this, it also tells me this is NOT the first time. Why would they have taken it on themselves to screw TB it such an important game for the first time in 10 years. Brady is a lying SOB. Gutless and let the little guys take the fall. By the way if he needs someone to take his place in bed with GisBun I volunteer.

We never cut any star players (not including old players like Thurman) because we drafted so few great players. Our Draft record for 40 of the 50 years has been terrible.

you have a pipeline now from Nebraska to the south coast. So by your point that should now stop? you are missing the whole point....give your enemies strength...makes no sense and Iran is an enemy. Giving Iran the power to put sanctions on the US economy one day is not smart

rumors are swilling that Obama will end the potential oil pipeline (known as XL) from Canada when congress takes vacation in August. As a Canadian what appears to have happened is he has chosen the oil from Iran (and the terrorists and enemy of Israel) over his friends from Canada. Well, Canada will then have to build the pipeline to the west coast and sell it to China. I certainly hope Obama gets his second Nobel Peace prize, (he did nothing for the first) and is remembered fondly when the middle east blackmails the US again, as it most certainly will. (sarc).
