Sisyphean Bills

Maybe he can help George Edwards pack his office.

I think we could get a 5th for him.

Yep. When you fall behind, you definitely don't want a guy with explosive speed that can score from anywhere on the field to get many touches.

Maybe another waterbug.

He doesn't jog out of bounds on the final play of the game, though.

Timing is everything in the delivery.

They have their franchise QB locked up long term.

Anybody want to defend dumping Hangman?

Would you put forth your best effort if you knew your bosses kept a guy that never came to work and when he did was wasted out of his mind and paid him 10 times more than you? A place where you were expected to do his job and yours?

It's not that difficult to see why they cut him. Paying someone that lacks the tools and talent that management is demanding 10 to 20 times more than others doing the same job better is a non-starter. What other team would pay their practice squad or inactive players more than, say, their starting QB and other stars?

Because the Bills have the talent to run overload blitzes. Not.

Speaking of McKelvin, Jabari Greer has Julio Jones in his pocket today.

The bolded was the point, of course. I wasn't trying to compare the two men's lifetime records, etc. I called it a "hope nugget" because I believe having both coached at Kansas City prior to Buffalo brings nothing to the table. Others may find it an interesting fact to draw conclusions about Gailey and the Bills future, of course.

Has the Pro Bowl for Fred campaign started yet?

They saved some money when they edited Jauron out of the team photo though. Levy was met with the same fanfare by most (exclusive of Buffalo homers) as the hiring of Chan Gailey. Specifically, people chuckled and said, "Who? Are you kidding? The coach that tried to run the Wing-T in the NFL years ago?" A hope nugget: both Levy and Gailey failed and got fired in Kansas City before coming to Buffalo.

Well, by one measure he did land a 1st round contract once so thereby is a success.

This is repeated often enough, but the parroting doesn't cover the fact that the results are unknown, though they did take a step backwards last year. (I also hope it is true.) This is revisionist history. Jauron got a contract extension in 2008 and it looked highly unlikely that he was going anywhere. Ralph Wilson was even quoted as saying that the two of them would ride into the sunset together. It wasn't until the no-huddle offense, firing of Schonert, Langston Walker is just as good as Jason Peters fiascoes of the pre-season landed Dick in hot-water and got him a flight to Detroit to explain his decision making processes that there was any indication anyone realized Dick was breaking the eggs and spilling the milk instead of getting the groceries. By the way, in 2008 many had the same comments then as now. The coach was doing a great job and getting the most out of his roster -- they played hard for him. He got an under talented team out of the gate to 1st place in the tough AFC East in early October. He was building the team the right way with Russ Brandon. He had a plan. He was just sabotaged by injuries and needed a little more time for his young players to, no doubt, continue to improve. A couple more holes to fill and 2009 was going to be the year to break the playoff drought.

Some of his former players don't even like him too! By the way, I got a "Yo Albert! Got any melons to stomp on?" sign for cheap.

Well, between Maybin and this guy, the Bills got 2 starts.

Ever heard of a two back system? CJ Spiller was actually in a two back system in college with James Davis, maybe he could explain it to someone.

Injuries are and have been a part of the game. The Packers won a Super Bowl with an IR list a mile long.

Dalton is playing out of his mind for a rookie. One of those "all he does is win" sorts as well.

Probably another groin concussion...

When you're right, you're right.

Trent Edwards gave him a good reference.
