Sound_n_Fury Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Tick, tick, tick... Well, unless they go 5-0 the rest of the way, it looks like TD will be shown the door after this season. Too many "Detroit specific" references to believe this story didn't originate with and/or be blessed by Ralph. The "beat reporter" skid greasing story is a RW staple when front office changes are in the works. The question now becomes: can Modrak build a better team? I have my doubts, but it looks like the TD-haters will get what they want... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus this is just pure speculation. I think even a few people in the Buffalo media are starting to get restless with the Bills just myself and some others on TBD.

Sound_n_Fury Posted December 4, 2005 Author Share Posted December 4, 2005 Detroit sourced story? Care to enlighten us? 518858[/snapback] Yep. The dirt Gaughn was dishing today could only come from well-placed folks outside the TD sphere of influence, like Brandon and the finance guys back in Detroit. IMO, they're just messengers for RW's "off the record" rant, and it reminds me of the Jeff Litman saga back when Polian was in his final days here. I think there may have been other "un-named team sources" rumblings before Butler left as well... I also think the timing of the story is interesting: on the day of a road game, when TD is out of town and we're playing our biggest rival. Humm...

KOKBILLS Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Concerning the Article...I just dont see the logic in canning TD and keeping Modrak...Modrak is TD's Right Hand, and if the problems with the Bills are truly personnel related (which it's pretty obvious they are), how do you blame the #1 and Promote the #2? Makes no sense to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWings Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I think today's pathetic choke might just be the last straw. The play-calling was questionable at best and the defense couldn't hold down one of the worst teams in the league with their second-string QB. Perhaps Mularkey called those plays because he had no faith in the line to block. This was a perfect time to run McGahee and kill the clock and they couldn't perform. So much for a bargain-basement OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's out of excuses. 519208[/snapback] ANYONE WITH COMMON SENSE DISAGREES. There is no room for debate on that either- I think Evans and Lossman were TD draft picks- TD built the team that took the lead, a fact which you CONVENIENTLY dismiss, but I wont allow you to. I'm so sick and tired of people who wan tchange for the sake of change- thos epeople should be ignored, and the Bills WILL do. Donahoe is here to stay, and there ain't a doggone thing you can do about it- and that the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 the problem is we fall on d AND o to the same sh1t every damn time. a blitz in the middle against our O will ALWAYS beat us because we have 4th rate coaches who can't adjust. our D is easy to figure out, when the blitz they show it, and we never bump WRs even on the goal line. grey only knows the plays that greggggggg williams taught him. we really do have some of the worst coaches in the NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donahoe is here to stay, and there ain't a doggone thing you can do about it- and that the way it is. 519322[/snapback] Dream on. The Bills' record under Donahoe stinks in spite of the many draft picks he's made. Donahoe will be fired because he has consistently failed to upgrade at positions where it has been painfully obvious, such as offensive line. He's also made two head coaching decisions -- the first one was a complete flop, and the second appears headed down the same path. And if TD even so much as says Merry Christmas to Nate Clements' agent, he should be fired on the spot. Let Nate play out his time and let him go elsewhere.
