Sisyphean Bills

Fitzpatrick is making Edwards look bad. He might even eclipse 300 yards.

The -2 yard return was to pad TO's stats! Nice work!

Nice catch on the FOUR yard line Roscoe. Brilliant stuff.

At first, it seemed like he had timed it perfectly. Going down just as time ran out.

And, coaching isn't a problem.

I liked the run up the middle with 6 seconds. Way to fool 'em!

Shaping up for another nice 4th quarter fold up.

Sanborn hurt?

Time to put the 3rd and 4th training wheels back on?

It's almost lilke they took the 3rd and 4th training wheels off the offense or something.

James Hardy = Jerry Rice

Omon = Jim Brown.

Dallas Clark is "rediculous"...

Ya think?

Seems like I heard that before... http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/index.php?...t&p=1640065

Coach raises a fair question as to who is really behind the on-going series of daft football decisions at 1 Bills Dr. Of course, one shouldn't really expect that a reporter will be able to get properly placed sources to speak on the record as to the exact nature of the dysfunction within the upper levels of the team. Take the Raiders: the public just assumes and accepts that the problem is Al Davis, because he runs the team his own way and has surrounded himself with sycophants and suck-ups. Few are concerned with whether Beach, Caracciolo, Delaney, Jones, Bailey, or Herrera were partly responsible for whatever dumb decision is being discussed. The buck stops with Al and Al runs the show. Besides, Al has made his own bed, isn't exactly a sympathetic figure, and has tasted success. It's difficult to be harshly vitriolic towards a 91-year old gentleman who prefers a lower profile and has been loyal to this city and is the primary reason there is an NFL team in this town. He's not a bad person; but, as an owner, he has often made curious decisions that have for the most part led to a legacy of failure on the football field. In the end, does it really matter if it was Overdorf, Brandon, Guy, Jauron, Modrak, Levy, etc. that "made" a decision? Do we really think Wilson had no say and was not involved? He is the acting President of the team. He is the one that hired these people, promoted these people, and set up the internal structure. The buck stops at Ralph Wilson. Maybe we are losing the forest for the trees. Maybe it isn't so much a situation where we have to identify and villify the worst culprits in a den of theives but a situation, a gestalt, that is dysfunctional on its own merits.

You've obviously never seen Joe Montana play, weren't really paying attention to Edwards play last September, or both. Probably both.

Well, if you want to simply cherry pick results... DJ's best year was 13-3. MS's worst year was 6-10. MS's best year was 14-2. DJ's worst year was 4-12.

It's tough to get the players to come to off-season strength and conditioning programs. The strength and conditioning coach is, I'd argue, one of the most important coaching positions on an NFL team. Right up there with the coordinators and special teams coach. Getting rid of Rusty Jones was about as brilliant as telling Pat Williams to take a hike.

2 Super Bowls. 2 Super Bowl wins. .615 in the playoffs. Finished 1st or 2nd in division 11 years. 7 years with 10+ wins. Winning percentage of .598. 48 games over .500. Finished 8-8 in last 16 games. (Oh, he coached Elway 4 seasons and the Broncos 14.) http://www.pro-football-reference.com/coaches/ShanMi0.htm 0 Super Bowls. 0 Super Bowl wins. .000 in the playoffs. Finished 1st or 2nd in division 2 years. 1 year with 10+ wins. Winning percentage of .423. 22 games under .500. Finished 4-12 in last 16 games. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/coaches/JaurDi0.htm Hard to tell those results apart.

It'll come to life with the new 3-2-6 defense being brewed up in the cauldron...

You mean like Marty Schottenheimer?

It seems like most of the time he is being praised for his steady work in keeping player salaries down. I mean, we get a trophy for that, right?

Well, they can't get any worse in run defense.
