Sisyphean Bills

Nice try. In a highly competitive team environment, not being a "fan" of your teammates, not being emotionally invested in the collective goals, will lead to nothing but failure. Being the QB of an NFL team isn't quite the same as punching a clock and holding a "SLOW" sign while wearing an orange vest.

Any chance the Foreskins activate Alvin "Chipmunk" Bowen?

Bummer. Hope you had a good birthday otherwise.

Maybe the reporter should have asked him, "If you weren't paid to play football, would you play?"

He wasn't just a decoy on that play.

I'd guess the Raiders. David Nixon is just about 220 lbs. and would fit right in.

Somehow I don't see this defense stopping a team with an offense on a roll. Not with so many guys riding John Deere tractors.

In a way, it would be a shame for Dick Jauron to miss out on the "bullet train down to the center of the Earth" ride this season is shaping up to be. It would be kind of skunky like when Matt Millen got a parachute ride out of the burning plane that was the 0-16 Detroit Lions, the Millen Marvels.

He is the President of the team and not "just the owner". And, he has Smithers helping him out with the tough guy stuff.

It's pretty !@#$ing dismal. The front office is a joke. The head coach is one of the worst head coaches in NFL history. The QB doesn't root for his own team, doesn't like football, and can barely throw a ball past the line of scrimmage regardless of the situation. Of our 1st round picks in the Levy/Brandon era, we have a SS that is playing FS and injured again, a DT that sucks, a RB that is 1 bong away for missing a season, a CB on injured reserve, and a DE/LB tweener that can't get on the field even when the defense is decimated with injury. And, that's the future "cornerstones" of this team.

"It was a good week of practice. Terrell is getting pretty good on the drums. And, we got guys with some awesome air guitar."

Ralph shouldn't be drinking heavily at his age. Not that anyone could blame him, but ...

1%. That has to be a record.

Let me put it this way. If the choice is between keeping a guy who's biggest accomplishment is "Burns-love", pedaling snake oil, and probably not making too many decisions, and losing out on getting a real football GM and head coach interested in coming to Buffalo and raising the Titanic off the bottom, then Mr. Smithers can take a hike too.

It's more inciting to be evasive and condescending?

Well, it is unlikely Mr. Smithers is going to take the fall for Mr. Burns anyway. But, it's hardly "doing a great job" to be the old man's dupe at best.

It's a square pegs and round holes thing. Where is that link again? Van Pelt basically saying that they weren't going to ditch the no-huddle because "he loves it" and then that communication is easier when you huddle up. This is bad coaching by definition. You have young, struggling players that can't execute jack ****, so you force them into a system to accentuate their weaknesses because you have a coaching woody for a particular system. Good job!

Brandon did play his part in the feud with Jason Peters and shipping him out of town as well as the appeasement plan of Langston Walker. It's worked out so well, I'm surprised anyone would question his abilities as an NFL GM.

Firing Dick Jauron is the first step back towards putting a football team on the field.

Seems sort of fitting. Same guy that didn't even know Brett Favre threw a laser to win a game a few weeks ago. The guy would rather be out working on his golf game. Not much different than saying: "I'm apathetic. I'm just here to collect a paycheck."

If we had a decent football team, they would sell themselves and we wouldn't did a snake oil salesman. Gut the whole thing.

Wow. That's leadership.

Some people thought just the presence of T.O. would vault this offense straight into the top 10.

The comparisons of Suck vs. Blow never get old. What's funny is that it is all the same **** and just depends on whether you're looking at the intake or the outtake.

The primary reason the NFC East moved the ball on the ground in all 4 Super Bowls was the Bills defense was built to win in the pass happy AFC. The Giants, Skins, and Cowboys OLs were huge for the standards of the time and built to pound the rock in the rough and tumble NFC East. The Bills undersized DL and 3-4 defense simply wasn't stout enough against the competition. They didn't have the depth or right players to switch to a 46 defense in the biggest game of the season and smash the bullies of the NFC East. That's life and not coaching.
