Sisyphean Bills

As far as schemes, didn't they just change the defensive scheme? As far as coaches, I don't agree with the cliche. What really sets a team back years is not hiring the right guys to build a competitive team immediately. What sets you back isn't not sticking with your Rich Kotite decision for more years, it was the decision to hire the next Rich Kotite in the first place. Speaking of which, why go through 3 years, the coach's entire contract, before determining that maybe it'd be a good idea to look for a franchise QB?

Maybe he means he only evaluates things after the 12th or 13th victory. He's not used to losing. Yet.

Multiple hundreds. Less than a thousand though.

Guess they never thought of looking at a team's actual record to guess a semi-realistic draft order.

Have you actually seen this defense? It's not just the MLB screwing up out there. (Though, I have to think all 11 of these guys can't be this putrid, can they?)

I suspect Nix fed information to the people that actually made the decisions in San Diego.

Is it loyalty to stick with your incompetent buddy no matter what rather than perhaps considering what's best for everyone else associated with the franchise?

Seriously though, why would anybody off this suckfest defense get a mention for a Pro Bowl?!?

I can see that. The Saints don't miss Sean Payton at all, for example.

Couldn't remember how to put them back in the trash can...

It hardly goes to taking advantage of some team in a trade, that Tebow is stuck on the bench behind Sanchez.

Wannstedt

Was Nolan interested in coming here with Gailey going into a lame duck year?

The guarantee works only one way -- if you don't even try, you guarantee a lack of success. Maybe someday they'll stop worrying about guarantees and dare to become great.

Ain't that the truth.

Carolina simplified their offense to get Newton on the field. It "worked" last year in that they were able to beat 5 teams with losing records, and the one exception being a team playing their 3rd string QB at the time. The Panthers are laboring a bit now and Cam looks even more dejected than Hangdog Fitzpicks ... if that's even possible. BTW, the Bills had a chance to go this general route with Vince Young if they had wanted. We all know how Gailey went on that one.

Let's say you are buying groceries for your restaurant. Your place serves Italian cuisine, so you go out and stock the freezer with all the pasta, sauces, etc. you think you'll need. Two days later, someone says you'd do better if you served English fare. So, you hire a new chef and go back to the wholesalers and buy up the liver pudding supply, and toss all the tomatoes in the dumpster. Your customers come in and scratch their head, but the food critic is going to give you a bit of a free pass because you keep changing? How the !@#$ does that work?

Given that players are being quoted as saying their teammates aren't playing hard or doing their jobs, you have to really wonder. It only stands to reason that if you wanted to be a successful then you wouldn't keep putting the guys that are half-assing it on their shifts in the critical jobs, no? Now, there might be other reasons to leave the boss' kid in the plum job even if he does spend all his time flirting with the secretary instead of doing anything constructive...

The similarity is that Green Bay has Aaron Rodgers and Bills fans wish they had Aaron Rodgers.

There is no way that Gailey doesn't know enough about an NFL defense to sit down and watch a tape and see how other NFL teams are ripping through his defense like a hot chainsaw through butter. He can put all the lipstick he wants on it, but he hired Wannstedt and he is the one allowing this suckfest to continue through the first half of the season. Why doesn't he say that these performances are simply unacceptable and will be fixed instead of the "I don't know" and "I don't have any answers" Barney Fife routine?

It's hard to top Angelo Crowell.

Another way to stay positive is to shed electrons.

And, he is hurt and considering surgery on his wrist. And, Anderson is injured as well. And, the defense was worse with them in the lineup than it was last year.

And I thought you were alluding to the evil twin.

Swiss Cheese. Although, that may not be fair to the cheese -- it's not all holes. http://instantrimshot.com/
