Sisyphean Bills

It's also the roster. We don't have a Peyton Manning or Ray Lewis to sell. Hell, we don't even have a London Fletcher; he was one of the first things tossed overboard by the last set of stooges.

Which explains why Russ flew to Denver to talk to Shanahan. Not. (I understand your point wrt Frazier. ) http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2010/01/04/i...es-in-playoffs/

You got that John was saying "nothing matters but the QB" from that? Holy ****!

It's pretty sad. The Chernobyl Bills seem to be the only team that flies their executives to wherever the !@#$ candidate X happens to be. "Sure, you can come and show me your Powerpoint. I can't leave town though. My agent might call with a better opportunity and I don't want to miss it."

It doesn't say that the Bills were trying to interview him against NFL rules. It says he initially expressed no interest in the job. In other words, they called and asked if he might want to interview when such time as he is available to do so (really almost certainly they called his agent) and his agent said, "Thanks, but no. <click>" This isn't like asking the hottest girl in High School to the prom and thinking "No" means "Maybe" so you ask her another 135 times.

The Chernobyl Bills.

1. Jauron isn't married to the Tampa-2. He has coordinated different schemes in the past. 2. Fewell was able to hide some huge gaping holes in our defense for 4 years and shown he can pull together a defense full of small, slow street free agents. That's nothing short of coaching your ass off. 3. Being a coordinator is about X's and O's. Keep Jauron out of the war room, don't let him shop for the groceries, keep him far away from your offense, and let him do the things he has shown some competence in doing in the past and he might work out OK.

Both. They signed off on the idea.

Give him a few more years to break Victor Allotey's record for being an inactive roster sinkhole.

Rumor: he's headed to Washington.

Well, expect the NFL to push some rule changes as a result.

To be clear, Donte is an OK football player. I don't have any problem with him being on this team nor do I have any problem with shopping him around. He's not a franchise player and the Bills screwed up taking him as high as they did and passing over legit franchise players that were still on the board. He's overrated by some Bills fans that want to defend every decision, but he is hardly the cause of the dysfunction and problems with this franchise; and, only a straw man builder would imply that he is.

It helps your point if you know what you are talking about. http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dspro...6&genpos=SS The sub-4.4 time was his Pro Day. The combine uses manual start and electronic finish for timing. It is well understood that this can skew results in favor of the athlete. I've seen players that timed in the 4.5s at the combine run away from Donte Whitner on the football field. Even if he was only a whisker slower than Chris Johnson on a track in Indianapolis once upon a time, doesn't mean that speed translates to his play.

The Whitner coaching excuse holds no water. None. He has been outplayed by a street free agent and a WR at SS and a rookie at FS. Wendling is a better special teams player. That sub-4.4 40 time is a joke. Was he timed by his agent for that? His world class speed comes when he is fired out of a cannon at the circus.

It's hard to be a superstar when you're medevaced out of the stadium.

Where are the people that laughed when the Titans drafted Chris Johnson?

It's all in the tin foil.

What kind of car does he drive?

Where will it stop? What's the scrapings from the bottom of the barrel?

The only "obvious" thing in this multi-sided (Leach, James, Texas Tech, ESPN,...) slug fest is that someone is definitely lying. In fact, it wouldn't be at all surprising to find all parties are hiding something in this soap opera.

Clayton strikes me as a guy with an unlimited supply of darts.

He was HC at UT-Chattanooga before coming to the Buffalo Bills in 93. He's taking over a dysfunctional franchise.

That's actually a point for Martz for anyone that has seen a Jauron offense on a football field.

The Bills just have "bad luck."

The constraints are the difference. For a made-up nonsense example, we might make a rule that unless we can make 10% margin on our product it will not go to market. Now, if we run the numbers and we can sell x widgets at the price point to make 10% or we can sell 10x widgets at a price point that makes 5%, we could follow our own constraint but we'd be fools.
