Saint record simplified. With Drew Brees as his QB the Saints made the playoffs in his the first year. Failed to make the playoffs the next two years. The year after he left they won the Super Bowl.

Wait and see what Reid, Kelly, Lovie get paid. I bet Marone is the least paid. Cheap hire. Mr. Marketing is trying to regonalize the franchise.

Never knew a guy (Brandon) who had so many father figures... How does promoting from within change the culture of a franchise?

Who dreams it up? The Buffalo Bills. It's their track record. Buddy is a re-tread who is likely to hire a re-tread.

Three of us sat in a living room in Canisteo NY watching the game. Two of us were going home at half-time except the pizza hadn't arrived. By the time the pizza got there the comeback had just started. Pizza guy said he smelled gas in the apartment. After he mentioned it we all smelled it. We called the gas company (1-800-IGO-BOOM) . They said to evacuate the building. By that time the comeback was in full mode so we sat in a gas filled apartment and watch it. By the way we did have a gas leak and the gas repairman watched the game with us as he fixed it. I remember an on-field fist fight between Howard Ballard and I think Glenn Parker. They were throwing haymakers over a missed assignment, but the announcers didn't seem to notice it in all the chaos. Anyone else see the fight?

A piece of this that is rarely talked about is the way kids are taught to tackle. Players used to be taught to turn their head to the side and tackle with their shoulder pads. Since sometime in the late 1970s coaches began teaching them to square up and stick their facemask into the player. Probably a superior method-except for all the brain damage and stuff.

In Fred Smerlas book "By a Nose" he wrote about the guys laying down to get rid of Hank Bullough. Never forgot that, and I think we are seeing it again this season. Not all, but some. Also, I always thought his admissions should have kept the "human off-sides penalty" off the wall. I'm not sure some of these players even remember what a 100% even feels like. They really have not been pushed by the experience of a "high stakes" game in so long.

Good point. Although during the last collective bargaining conflicts the NFLPA claimed that the owners hadn't included all the revenue and had grossly underestimated their total revenue. Who knows they're a private business. Although they still have their hands out for public money. Pretty sure I got that number from Chuck Dikerson's radio show years ago. Not real reliable, but I'd love to see some courageous public official challenge the owners on that.

Even a rumor gives me goose bumps nowadays...

Give me break! Will any reporter ever have the guts to find out how much in salary Ralph takes out of this team? The profits are irrelvant if he pays himself (granted a rumor-that's why I want someone to find out) 200 million a year to be CEO or chariman or whatever he is.

And Eric Wood is standing by what he said- My new favorite player. Might wanna try that Stevie. As soon as Stevie says something "real" he backs up quicker than a French TankK!

Colin Kapernick, Andy Dalton, Russel Wilson, JJ Watt, Aldon Smith wait a minute... Oh that's right drafted Aaron Williams, TJ Graham and Marcel Dareus. Then the answer is Stephon Gilmore.

Another reason that top coaches/talent won't come here. They only get 7 home games. Let's get some Blue Jays games here. Jays games have empty stands. Hmmmm... Better yet, Trade the Bills for the Blue Jays. Better yet trade the Bills for a two-four of Blue.

I'm not shocked at all. He is too incompetent to try to hold them accountable. Everybody gets a free pass when the boss is incompetent.

Whithout a new big name head coach and/or GM everyone who can leave will leave. Waiting for a loyal soldier or two to ask out and ask to be traded: Stevie Johnson or Kyle Williams-that type of player.

Boy, If Ralph Wilson were alive today...

Very True-Nice observation. A smarter coach would solve that by having a fullback on the field or a double-tight-end alignment.

Ah-the answer to our prayers. Fitz really is pretty good afterall.... So here's what we do. Trade this excellent, veteran quarterback to another team, and use all the picks we get for him to rebuild. Hmmm. That would be what? A conditional fifth round draft pick?

Anyone who doesn't wear adult diapers!

What happened to Chad Rinehardt and Colin Brown?

Not a big market for a 31 year old RB who can't stay healthy. Green Bay has been a running back away from winning another Super Bowl. The only possible time to trade him was in the last off-season. But he's good in the locker room-something only losing teams care about.

He's on a secret assignment trying to find out why Gailey and Fitz are coming back next year. Latest rumor is that Fitz is Buddy's secret love child, and Gailey found Buddy's wallet and won't give it back. Tressel is on secret assignment from the league to find why Gailey and Fitz have guaranteed jobs next year. Latest rumor is that Jim Kelly has asked Buddy to drive the price of the franchise down so he can buy it.

According to Bills it's always like this late in the year. They have so little concern and pride in the office you "can't "embarass this franchise.

Fitz is a walking physical limitation. Wilsonmight get better-Fitz never will.

Hey Buddy, Cry me a river Winning teams don't have to answer either of those questions. Want softball questions? WIN!
