Thank God the NFL moved the Colts out of our division.. phew

NFL: 6 out of 32 FBS: 28 out of 120 This is a massive improvement from 3 years ago... there has to be available hires of quality for there to be a good hire. As of now, many teams feel there is not much available out there if Mularkey got a HC job; that's how I see it.

He is a big personality and has burned a lot of bridges somehow. His teams made the playoffs, but failed to make adjustments against the better teams in order to take him to the Super Bowl. I wouldn't want him in Buffalo because he would have had another job by now, and too many teams have passed him up.

The Raiders finally have a real GM, and soon will have a real coach and will no longer be a laughing stock. You are now witnessing, like Irsay to Irsay, a Davis to Davis change in ownership philosophy that will lead to success in Oakland. Meanwhile, we are still waiting...

Let no Bills fan who wanted him back complain about him ever again then. You wanted him, then you are going to get him- if he drops crucial passes or costs us wins, then so be it.

1. Atlanta lost AGAIN in a bad fashion. 2. Mike Smith is a couple of wins better than Chan Gailey, and with nothing to show for it. 3. You'll be back- I have been a Pirates fan all my life and you don't know the meaning of the word negative.

I find it ironic that you posted this TODAY after the Falcons just got embarrassed again, and Atlanta was mentioned as the worst sports city in America in an ESPN column. The object of this game is to win a championship, and regardless of wins, the Falcons don't have the fortitude to win games when it counts- you could see it in their defense in the third quarter and fourth quarter. The Falcons was a bad example to use... they still have won nothing and seem to have reached their maximum potential with the team they have.

How many QBs threw for over 4,000 yards in 1990 and 1991? You are talking about a completely different NFL that has evolved over the years.

PAT WILLIAMS, now and forever, even though peanuts isn't accurate. The worst move... ever.

However, for all of the 1st round busts there have been, it is a fact that 1st and 2nd round QBs win championships. In the past TWENTY years (no, not a typo), only Kurt Warner and Brad Johnson have starting QBs on teams that won the Super Bowl other than Tom Brady. 15 out of 20. The modern NFL DEMANDS a quarterback with the skills to be the man, and although we failed to get one, not trying dooms us to failure.

Teams don't get better by planning to draft 4th round picks at QB as a strategy. Once again, this is a prime example as to why there is such a disparity between Bills fans... you'd keep an unreliable 7th round WR and draft a starting QB in the 4th round instead of doing what successful franchises do- draft your QB in the 1st or MAYBE the 2nd round and find reliable players to build around him. Tom Brady is the exception rather than the rule, and I wish more Bills fans recognized that.

In some peoples' opinion... once again willing to overpay for someone who will not help our team very much. Stevie Johnson will go to another team and will be their T.O... works hard, does stupid stuff to hurt the team, won't stop, and drops a heck of a lot of balls.

THIS. If we had resigned him, we'd be a worse team for it- still weak at WR, still weak at DE, still shaky in the secondary, on and on. Let Peters be someone else's headache... and yet Vick still gets hit a lot. How many sacks did the Bills offensive line give up this year? Did our run production suffer terribly? 'Not having anyone close to his ability' is absolute hyperbole.

What I suggested can be another interpretation, but I NEVER said that this had to be exactly what he meant... to ignore the possibility of it is being closed minded, to be sure. It IS all speculation, but after what has happened, to fear the worst is not crazy or ignorant.

Closed minded is not the right phrase to use in this instance... too open minded would be accurate. Closed minded would mean that what he said relates ONLY to what is legally provided. Opening it up, you could say that he is talking about payoffs, benefits, etc. After what has happened in college athletics, to be insulted for interpreting his comments as meaning improper benefits or payoffs is ignoring past examples of impropriety. If no one questioned his comments, then possible infractions would never be discovered because inevitably people talk.

So long as you agree that corporate welfare needs to be cut... fair. I'm saying that the trickle down theory is a failure, and that does not mean that I support the complete opposite. I won't argue for it, that's for sure.No one should bend over backwards to give away everything to corporations to stimulate the economy is my problem.

UGGGGHH that night game was brutal to watch... I had almost forgotten that game until you mentioned it. Totally unlike the 1992 matchup of no punts!

Was that the Darick Holmes game? Another name from the past...!

Ignoring the previous inane comments that bound to get the original intent off track... Yes, I will fully agree that intelligent humans perpetuate misery unwittingly due to scientific curiosity- we can see it throughout history, and the article alludes to it even though it doesn't go full bore into it. I will also agree that politicians do hold the fate of the world's existence in their hands, because with the advent of nuclear weapons it was a game changer, like the advent of chemical and biological warfare and genetic engineering. It is possible that human beings will eventually go past the tipping point and obliterate part of or the entire human race somehow, but so far we have dodged major bullets. Whether or not we continue to dodge them is a a matter of conjecture, but to dismiss the possibility is to be the ostrich. We tend to not want to think of these things because we have avoided it time and time again, but the possibility remains. Let us all hope that our luck continues.

Herman Cain- appears to be a stand up guy advocating change, the more you see of him the worse it gets, bad results, bad press, candidacy in the toilet.

It is OUR idiocy, don't you see? The two party system FORCES idiocy, one or the other, the same tired choices of pig dung vs. cow dung. It STILL all smells, and it gets me how the dung is defended just because it has a red color or a blue color...!!

Be careful, because many will jump on this for daring to display concern over the Bills' prospects for next year! I'll back your concern.

It sure does.. no matter WHAT a man's status is within an organization, if has the guts and the ability to filter out BS and to get to the heart of the matter in an intelligent fashion, then he WILL succeed. It may not be with the Jets if they wish to remain corrupted, but this sort of person succeeds in life. You don't know me, and so you have no business telling me you know ANYTHING about my life experience.

It amazes me how after all of the college football scandals out there anyone would DARE think that it is happening at Clemson... O M G!!!

Rules? We don't need no stinkin rules!!! Justin Armour had great hands, but couldn't stay healthy... didn't think this was a thread about knocking former WRs, just thoughts and/or names!
