Stupidity? I think that's harsh.
People don't remember Matt Millen for his playing days and the Super Bowl rings he has, people remember him for the debacle he's responsible for in Detroit.
People remember guys like Emmitt Smith and Jarome Bettis for their playing days and both have Super Bowl rings as well.
There's a difference.
For the record, I do agree with you. I trust his analysis and opinion as much as I do my dog's.

That probably played a part in it but most football fans, the many millions of people watching the show, think of Millen as one of the worst GMs of all time. He turned the Lions into an absolute laughing stock.
It's hard to take anything he says seriously.
There's a lot of under the table things going on. I believe Donahoe was feeding Mortensen info when he was here. I'm sure Mort and the guys at ESPN didn't all the sudden lose contact with Donahoe when he left them to come to Buffalo. I'm sure it's the same with Millen. Doesn't matter what the fans think, how else did Millen stay a GM so long?
-
He was an announcer before he became a GM with Detroit. I'm sure that played a part.

Either way they shouldn't move it out of Hawaii.

I don't blame you guys, but at the same time this type of thing scares me.
I have Sunday Ticket and I think it's worth it. I spend $75 a month on stupid stuff anyway, so I may as well keep it.

Episode I - The Football Menace - Mired in last place in the league, the Dark Lord Ralph Wilson continues to poorly manage his football team due to old age.
Episode II - Coaching Clones - After years of mediocre coaching and stoic responses, the evil Sith Lord’s apprentice Dick Jauron starts takin gover the minds of his players, making them sound and act like him.
Episode III - Revenge of the Dick - After going three straight years of 7-9 football, Dick Jauron signs a contract extension with the Dark Side in order to plague the fans and media of Buffalo with more boring and sophmoric football.
Episode IV - A New Hope, HA! - In a statement before the last game of the year, Ralph Wilson, the Dark Lord releases a statement that he is not happy about the current Sith apprentice Dick Jauron, but a decision will be made after the season is over. The Dark One realizes he needs the Sith apprentice to continue to make clones so no one questions his football authority.
Episode v - The Players Strike Back - With rebellion stirring around the Empire of the Bills trying to oust the evil Sith Lord Apprentice Dick Jauron, the clones rally around the Sith protecting him with their superstar power.
Episode VI - Return of the Moron - The Empire of Buffalo releases a statement that the Dark Sith Apprentice will return next year as the leader of the clones.

Try 22 -started in 1986 and left as coach in 1997. Saban also returned as an intrim coach even longer ago.
I should have known better than to fool you...
-
that was 25 years ago!
-
I can't think of a coach offhand that's had his back to the wall like Jauron and actually done well. Next year it will be week to week of bashing. It's a joke.
-
Say we lose the first 4 games of the season. Ralph's not gonna fire anyone until the season is over.
-
Jauron being retained means Schonert is on his way out right?
Jauron has been with the Bills 3 years, Schonert only 1 year. Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Stupidity = bad karma

The problem is even though we played sub-par teams starting off, we were carrying some momentum for the first time in a long time. It's up to the coaches to keep players focused and keep the momentum going. Confidence can do a lot for a team. It can also do a lot of bad if you're not coaching your players.
BTW, were there ANY rb screen passes after week 6?
-
One thing is for sure, if you think fans are rowdy at the games in Buffalo, wait til they learn the team is moving. Then you'll have a situation on your hands.
-
I don't know about you guys, but I'm ready for another Ralph PC. It's almost like a standup comedy performance with the one liners.
-
Just to let you guys in on a secret, I'm actually Ralph Wilson. Bet you never expected to see me here...
-
what do ya think of that?
I think it sucks.
-
Very nice. And to those that asked - that is most certainly Amitabh (in his prime no less)
My friend found this hidden footage of Dick on Saturday night

You guys want to hire a head coach before a GM? Hasn't that been the underlying problem?
-
It's believed to have four tires.
It could be like those British cars, some have only 3 wheels. I remember them from Mr. Bean.
-
I'm not ripping you. Its an interesting question. Is the collective zeitgeist of the fans turning Ralph into a vegetable, the regional ethos imprinting itself on the local sports team? Are we miserable because the team blows, or does the team blow because we're generally miserable? I have to confess, there's something tragically romantic about rooting for a perennial loser.
Yes, and is the hostility of the fans as Ralph continues to push 100 growing, and could it possibly just piss him off in the end? Could it all be linked to karma also?
-
For the record, I have a friend who got on the field in Miami at that game too. And he lives with his parents.
-
Not sure what you are saying. Are you saying that repeated statements/sentiments from the fans, in this case saying Ralph is old and out of his mind, are actually manifesting themselves and pushing Ralph into senility? Our collective consciousness is hastening Ralph's mental degeneration? Fascinating stuff, Mr. Jasper.
Sell the team, Ralph. Sell the team, Ralph.
I'm not saying anything.. I was just asking..

Hiring a big name coach doesn't guarantee success, it just guarantees a big bill that RW will never want to pay. Since Polian left, we had a very talented team in the late 90's and have went down hill from there. If Polian stayed, we would of been SB champs several times by now.
Hogwash. Most of the players in the late 90's were Polian's leftovers.
Is Ralph Wilson the Rachel Phelps of football?

Everything seems to correlate with the movie. Small town. Losing team. Bad management.
