Sisyphean Bills

Jabari Greer, Winfield, Williams ...

Jim Kelly's nephew is wearing an Eagles jersey. That's ... awesome. Just awesome.

All part of the ESPN plot, no doubt.

Anybody can look good playing next to Ed Reed. Oh wait...

I'd rather have Marshawn.

Loadholt is a rookie.

With free agency, 12 team playoffs, and the general balance of the league, the fact that the Lions and Bills are the only 2 teams out of 32 to not make the playoffs in a decade speaks volumes about the organization's commitment to putting a winning product on the field. The big changes since the last Bills playoff team have been firing John Butler (who took most of the scouting department and front office with him) and complete overhaul under TD firing Tom Donahoe with temporary hiring of Marv Levy, Dick Jauron firing Dick Jauron with promotion of Buddy Nix and ? It's probably not just a coincidence that the first bullet -- which amounted to gutting of the FO and coaching -- has had far more impact (for the worse) than the other two "shake ups", which preserved the majority of the structure intact. Sometimes patience is just a polite way of saying there is a stubborn refusal to admit that the status quo isn't getting it done. Edit: At least with the Lions, the firing of Matt Millen (precipitated by Bill Ford publicly saying he'd fire Millen if he could) could be seen as a move in a different direction for Detroit. In the Bills case, the change was a bit of musical chairs with titles. The Bills and Lions, by the way, both blew it up the same year, hiring Donahoe and Millen, resp.

No, not 10 years ago. More like 4 years ago. Donahoe was Ralph's last gamble to win and it didn't work out. Since then it is just about inertia and staying the course.

You don't think people turn down job offers? It's not at all clear that Leslie Frazier wants to be the public face and name associated with a team not serious about doing what it takes.

The commitment is to not making commitments. It's all on the wind down, because given the owner's age it is about keeping the franchise well positioned for its eventual sale.

Frazier seems like he's in the catbird seat. I just wonder if he's really interested, if his philosophy is compatible with Buddy Nix, and if their philosophy matters.

Just like players, not all coaches are created equal. Some have more coaching talent than others.

There is the real rub. Not everybody wants to come to Buffalo to coach. Fans can understand that. But the idea that we may end up with a HC that is appreciably worse than Jauron when the Bills are the only open gig in the NFL isn't exactly a heartwarming confidence builder.

Not true. The Seahawks gave a token interview to Leslie Frazier. The Redskins gave a token interview to Jerry Gray. Both teams checked the box as to the Rooney Rule.

It's tough to coach All-Pros.

He's a rock star on a small market team.

Many of us already have an informed opinion and we do not have to resort to a campaign of posts attacking the credibility of any and all information we don't happen to like with nothing more than stuff we pulled out of our ass, like you are doing.

You forgot "We are not the Lions or Tampa". Confidence is overflowing now.

And you know this is really what is happening ... How? Your "shoot the messenger" campaigning is getting sort of dull.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4820444 You can ignore the 100s of posts claiming he has already accepted the job under the table.

We just need to get lucky.

Agreed. The team looks like assclowns, but that's hardly anything new.
