Sisyphean Bills

Both. It takes 2 DTs to field a 4-3 D.

Does Ellis look better when viewed through beer goggles? Just wonderin'.

Reggie's keeping himself active through the injury.

It could've been worse. It could've been Charles Haley whipping it out. http://kissingsuzykolber.uproxx.com/2008/0...masturbate.html

His troubles are easily explained. He plays for the Buffalo Bills. Staying positive: Hopefully, we get 2-3 more decent seasons out of him before his body falls apart under the wicked beating of countless dump-offs.

1) Part of it is scheme. Even if Superman was at DE, he'd have trouble getting sacks when the defense is laying off the receivers and giving them 10 yard cushions -- maybe it should be called king sized feather beds instead of cushions? 2) I don't get it. Almost any coach with a few firing neurons can coach a great team loaded with talent. That's hardly an endorsement of any sort. It doesn't make a great coach. A great coach is a coach that can take a very average group of players and transform them into a crisply executing machine. For example, Jeff Fisher's team ripped off 10 straight wins and most of that with a backup has-been QB. Bill Belichick has the Patriots right back in the hunt for the AFC East with a backup QB that hadn't played a game since high school and many other injuries. On the other hand, you have Norv Turner, with one of the deepest rosters going and he's firing coaches off his staff, having Rivers throw bombs constantly, etc., etc., and losing a lot of close games. "Jauron is an excellent coach that just needs better talent to win," simply rings hollow.

What's with the Dick Measurement system anyway? Why does Dick get a free pass for his first 5+ years as an NFL head coach while most of the other coaches get their feet held to the fire? (I notice Holmgren "starts" his coaching in Seattle. ) You realize some of those examples are rookie head coaches that were piloting expansion teams, right? The ironic thing about it is that Dick Jauron was 20-23 in his first 43 games in Chicago. So, nothing is changed. Indeed, unless he goes 4-1 down the stretch year, his record for his first 3 years in Buffalo will be worse than his own record with the talentless Bears teams for his real first 3 years as an NFL coach. Here is a ranking by lifetime winning percentages. It's upside down so Jauron looks like he's #1. Jauron .438 Vermeil .524 Johnson .556 Billick .556 Fisher .556 Coughlin .557 Parcells .570 Holmgren .596 Landry .603 Walsh .609 Schottenheimer .613 Cowher .623 Tomlin .667 Oh and Edwards .431 and Turner .437.

Butler is much better on one leg than is Preston. Preston anchors about as well as a soft hay bale on a push dolly.

BTW, this is stale data. Jauron, Herm, and Norv Turner have the worst W-L ratio among "tenured" coaches, where tenure would be >4 seasons. Nolan was on the verge but got fired already. Crennel is on the verge and rumors are flying that he'll be fired. Most coaches, if they show they can't win after 3-4 years, are fired and never heard from again.

Philadelphia is still looking for WRs and a running game, no? Must be JP's ... er, I mean, D Mac's fault.

That show needs about 5 more ex-jocks and 6 more failed stand-up comedians.

Guess he never saw Fred Lane. RIP, Fred. And there was this dude named Csonka once upon a time...

Turk was wiggin' today. Up in the booth, roll outs, play action, 54 points, chucking it down field... Sheesh, you'd think somebody lit a bonfire under his a5s.

You mean that the coaching staff is awesome at knowing when talent is ready, right?

Agreed. Preston is frighteningly awful.

It's just a "concussion" switch. Flip it on and get crap performances. Flip it off and get "better than Brady" performances. Whatever the answer, do you think it would've "counted"?

Bully for us. Those points will move us right up the BCS standings.

Somebody told Schonert about bootlegs, too. Trent said that the game plan this week was dumbed down from last week. They took out a lot of the motions and looks they tried against the Browns and just ran "the base offense." Not sure how to reconcile that with the idea that he also said they put in boots, naked boots, and more play action, though. The short fields against a garbage team didn't hurt anything...

Pro Bowl! Seriously though, nice to see him pull his head out.

Super Bowl!

And? The Chiefs have given up 30+ points in 5 of those 9 losses. It's not like their shutting anybody down. If this was the BCS, I guess "hanging 40+" might mean something though.

"reeeeeealy quality" = "high motor" = "average white stiffs"

Wow. The Chiefs suck.

Or maybe Quinn fugged up his finger worse than it was.

You're stuttering.
