One of the guys on ESPN made a good comment along these lines last night. Football is a tough game for tough people. But it's also a smart game for smart people. I thought that was a great way to put it.

Don't you mean "could of won a defensive battle"?

At the very least I'm certain we wouldn't have laid down and gotten curb stomped like Houston did.

Agreed. Funny stuff, A++, would LOL again.

Agreed 100%. T Pegs was smart to get this out there and stop the speculation. Bickering, on the other hand, will continue unabated.

It's kind of like my music teachers used to tell me: (and these were guys with real chops, they went to the Eastman school of music, not sure if you've heard of it). If you're going to f*ck up, f*ck up LOUD. Don't be timid about it.

Other than the Thursday and Monday night games, this has to be our widest coverage of the season right? Damn shame...

Ah, the old "whatever you do, don't f*ck up" approach to coaching. How's that working out for Maroone?

That was... vivid.

PSLs, here we come...

Funny. I've always enjoyed his writing, and thought he seemed like he belongs in at least a slightly bigger market. He's also old friends with T. Pegs from way back. They used to play raquetball together.

Then after Rex is canned, what coach-in-waiting out there will get us to the promised land? See? My side isn't the only one not offering solutions. And if the burn-it-all-to-the-ground crowd is so confident, after 11 months, that hiring Rex was a f*ck-up of such monumental proportions with NO way out, what gives you any confidence the same search committee (Pegula, Brandon, et al) will get it right the second time around? Look, I'm annoyed as hell about this season too. But we've got new owners, a new coaching staff, and a lot of legacy front-office people left over. I don't pretend to know how to fix all this, I'm just willing to give it at least a couple of seasons to play out. You, me, most people on this board have had to endure 16 years of futility. Terry Pegula hasn't. Doug Whaley hasn't. And Rex Ryan hasn't. Russ Brandon has, I guess, but he was pretty junior 15 years ago. Your patience is at an end, I get it. I'm just willing to give it a little more time.

I have heard at least two callers to WGR saying maybe Toronto should have gotten the Bills. I wish I had so little in my life to worry about that I could muster such ridiculous ire over this.

That was kind of my point, homeslice. Merry Xmas!

Well, I was trying not to make it personal.

To the ODBJOMGWTFBBQ defenders: How much internet white-knighting do you think you have to do before he will call you up and ask if you want to go play a game of catch?

Wood is good. Good for Wood.

I don't know, when people start expressing unwavering public support for others, that's usually a bad sign.

So in this magical world where the fans get to TAKE CONTROL AND FIRE REX, what happens next year under another brand new coach and system and we finish around 7-9 and out of the playoffs again? Will the CAPS LOCK CREW be preaching patience? Or will it be a BRAND NEW COACH EVERY YEAR UNTIL WE WIN THE SUPERBOWL DAGNABBIT?

To paraphrase Chris Rock: I don't think they should've done it... but I understand.

The mods used to clean up this in-game offal. No more I guess?

Great thread.

Because there's only two weeks left to fornicate in a muddy parking lot.

Sounds like a good old fashioned d*ck-swinging contest. St. Doug the Lesser made some pretty smart trades, probably feels he needs to have more power.
