Was it just me or does anyone else think that Rex was sending a message in the Dolphins game? He refused to let Smith pass. It was like saying that Smith is not his guy, never was.

As I read your post, I knew what was coming. Kim's cheap, somebody had to say it.

Except that Fitz went to Harvard, I wasn't sure if any of you knew that, so I thought I would mention that Fitz went to Harvard. All of the the things Manuel was getting ripped for are the same issues that Orton is having, including that slide. When Manuel was playing there were a couple of plays that he stepped out of bounds when it looked like he could have made it. My point is I think coaching has these guys screwed up.

I love that his first name is Nigel.

Nice work

Coaching, coaching, those are my thoughts. Sid Gillman and Bill Walsh, really? Who's RGIII or EJ had?

(Sigh) Oh good lord.

Nix taking Graham over Wilspn is the most obvious mistake, but how is that on Whaley? What is on Whaley is the complete mishandling of Manuel. Maybe Kolb was the best option, I don't think Fitz wanted to stay. However, and I've said this before, rookie HC, rookie OC, no QB coach, it's just idiotic. By Hackett's own admission it was a blunder. Tha being said the Sheppard for Hughs trade maybe one of the best trades of this young century. The trade that brought both EJ and Kiko, even if EJ is a bust, which I don't believe, is a pretty good move. Sammy trade? Looks like we gave up a mid first rounder for him, not bad. In the end I think Whaley has done more good than bad.

I said the same thing, last week, in a different thread. They were supposed to be fast paced, they are not. What are they?

Manuel and Orton have the same issues. Inability to see open receiver, inaccurate and can't produce in the red zone. Is it on them or Hackett?

Kyle could have killed him, choose just to shove him.

Really funny

I'm shocked, I'd have said 2ypc. It does not change how I feel about Hackett.

And yet with a ten year vet he has not gone back to it.

Experianced coordinators are really important. Just look at what Schwartz has done with this D. The D is much better than last year. Hackett is in over his head. In the KC game and Miami game Orton had the same issues Manuel got benched for. Inaccurate, missing open receivers, inability to score TDs in red zone. Two coaches were brought in to help Hackett, but not much has changed. Can anyone explain the forth and one formation with Dixon as FB and Watkins at TB? Have they ever used that formation? What happened to the fast paced offense? These guys tried to make a raw rookie run the fast pace, but not a ten year veteran? I'm not saying they should run it, but what is their plan? What is this offense?

This really made me laugh. We are never going to give it up with this guy. Happy Thanksgiving

This was the most ridiculous formation of the season. You have to set that up by actually having used that formation previously and having pitched the ball to Watkins running wide. Then maybe you spread out the D. Calling that play then is just unbelievable.

I can't imagine how the handling of EJ could have been worse. Rookie HC, rookie OC, no QB coach ( by Hackett's own admission a mistake) and Kevin Kolb as a mentor. Can anyone explain how it is that Orton had exactly the same issues in the previous two games as Manuel?

Didn't Woody Johnson say Rex wouldn't be fired during season?

So EJ's father is proud of him, what's your point?

Wow, so any opportunity to take a shot at EJ, unbelievable.

This is probably a dumb question, but why didn't they move this game to the Carrier Dome?

Doesn't the fact that Ralph choose an accountant over a football man say it all?

I don't know anything about the Sabres. What I do know is that because of the Pagulas the Bills are staying in Buffalo. I don't mean to speak ill of the dead, but Ralph Wilson was not a good owner. He was good for the league. Wilson got lucky a few times, like when Polian became GM by default. I have no idea what the Pegulas will do, but what ever it is it will be better.

I vote for Hackett.
