Sisyphean Bills

Marcus Easley? Contributing? Methinks you're stretching for straws in the other direction.

I'm guessing they tailgate together and bludgeon each other silly with acyrologia.

I figured it was a Fruedian slip or an intentional play to indicate the crayonzian nature of this trolling thread...

You can add Willis McGahee.

You're not sure because of your confusing inference of "lately". Spiller did rip off a few good runs against Miami (where do I say he didn't?), but I'm not writing from such a myopic viewpoint. I am talking about his career in total. He has not been a dynamic home run threat out on the field that defenses have to account for each and every play. Most of his career he has been useless and unused. You can blame Chan all you want for that, it doesn't really matter. Spiller has not been a dynamic game changer out of the backfield thus far in his career.

Sarcasm?

FWIW, Modrak was fired a year later.

If the bottom drops out on the season ticket sales, then management has its answer about promising a competitive product some nebulous time in the future while asking patrons to pony up full price for the rummage today. Of course, there is always the opportunity to paper over it with "small market" clanging while the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers waiting lists continue to lengthen. As to your questions, they pose false alternatives. What about spending the money today on the players that make the team better now and hiring coaches that can put them in the best situation to utilize their talents?

When were Littmann, Brandon, and Overdorf fired?

His explanation is plenty dodgy. The guy plays RB; he's going to get hit. Is there no sense of urgency whatsoever to see what players can do in many various situations? This is the NFL: a coaching staff is going to get their behind handed to them every week if they insist on fixating to their own tendencies. Other teams aren't that stupid and talentless.

The explosive run where Bush went the distance right up the middle on our D ... that is what the Bills thought they were going to get from Spiller. Too bad for him that the Bills offense can't go against the Bills defense in games.

The story that Nix gave prior to the season was that the Bills were "all set" at OLB (edge rushers). Apparently, Merriman was the entirety of the plan for the season. Despite Merriman obviously being injury prone. Couple that with the inability of the guys drafted last year to do squat, they end up with a DE and DT starting at OLB. Now some will say it is just a matter of bad luck that Merriman got injured, but it simply is not a matter of luck to have no backup plan; heck, they haven't even tried to get any better by bringing in street free agents, unless maybe this guy that can jump out of a pool is it. The Bills coaches are on a different page and continue to run this hybrid defensive scheme, which seems like an indication that they don't believe after two off-seasons that they have been given the requisite talent in the front-7 to run a base 3-4. Either that or they think they have an abundance of versatile talent and they can run any defensive system from down to down. Either way, the proof is in the pudding and the defense can be scored on almost at will. The Bills have spent their draft day resources both years on fixing the defensive front-7, and they continue to have big problems.

Williams had a notebook of lists. Ralph knew Buddy.

Edwards decision?

Who knows? The 100 or so fans left at the end of the game might agree.

Todd Bowles and friends seemed to have a highly effective defensive plan despite this being his very first ride on the merry-go-round. Few would claim the Dolphins are stacked talent-wise.

It wasn't 3rd down. Here is the 3rd down conversions for Buffalo: 0-11-0%

It sounds better than saying the QB has regressed.

Has Buddy retracted his commitment to the 3-4? He's been scouting for the 3-4 for a long time, as has Whaley.

Sounds like bullcarp. The Rams have 10 CBs on IR. Edit: I had heard the number 10, but I only count 6 on the NFL.com website. Regardless, the Rams have more players on IR than the Bills and that's not to mention they have several seriously banged up guys still playing (like Sam Bradford), so the original claim seems to be pretty specious.

I thought you were going to say that the Jills stayed through to the end of the game. (There was a lot of wide open space in the stands...)

It means they got swept by a team that fired its head coach mid-season.

You think starting Thigpen is the answer?

Dropping 7 straight usually gets a coach a hot seat.
