Mark VI

I thought he retired this past September.

Impossible. I was watching Browns games all season.

Hells Bells !

A tie between Lance Alworth and Gale Sayers

Yes, I was watching Browns game all season. The approx. 310 Bills games I have attended in person were strickly to eat popcorn and stare at the cheerleaders. I had zero issue with the Mike Williams pick, which tanked, but the rest of the line wasn't playing well for years. Teague was a failure at Tackle and just was overpowered most every game I saw him at Center. That should have been addressed 2 years ago. Chris V looked shot last season. Bennie Anderson can't play. I agree last season was slim pickings for Free Agent OL in 2005 but don't tell me a bunch of 2nd day picks like lowly rated Ben Sobieski was TD trying to upgrade the line on draft day. Try picking more on day 1, instead of a 168 lb. WR and a raw TE from Miami. Not impressed. Holcomb came to us as a 32 year old journeyman with 12 lifetime starts. He was signed as a backup and I completely understood the Losman benching for the Jets and Miami at home. From the KC game on, I didn't buy any of the rhetoric coming form OBD justifying the benching of Losman. I expect struggles but 5-11 proved what I could see. In the playoff race ? Our Defense finished #29 ! The Defense was doing very little to keep the opposition from scoring, so keeping Holcomb in there accomplished nothing. I love how you left that out of the Miami road game, when Losman had 3 quick scores and our D played horribly. You're right. That was Losman. The playcalling on both sides of the ball was stellar Maybe Losman is Rich Gannon ? WTF does that mean ? He didn't have his first good year until he was 33-34. Losman is what, 25 ? You are ALL over the place in this discussion. Go Browns !

I need you to call The Barnes Firm and state your full name.

Lets Recap: TD cuts Bledsoe because he can see we can only go so far with him with his multiple shortcomings. In the meantime, he's ignored upgrading the Offensive Line with real Quality and depth for about 3 years. So Losman, who hasn't earned anything, is immediately given the starting nod without any competition. The Line still can't block, the playcalling is the worst in memory and Montana in his prime wouldn't win 6 games on this team. The Vets, who actually think they are a 9-10 win team, do not like the fact JP hasn't earned his job ( not his decision ) and react once Losman struggles out of the gate. Mularkey wilts like a 2 day rose and puts noodle arm career backup in to save his job...er....win a couple games. We beat Miami and the Jets at home to fool everyone into thinking we have something. Then Holcomb play like crap against KC at home and gets knocked out with 0 points on the scoreboard. Losman comes in and throws 2 TD's to win the game. From that point on, no matter what any Vet had to say, this should have been his team and Holcomb should never have played again, unless Losman was injured..and I mean actually injured.. We had NOTHING to lose, except more games... which we did anyhow. The worst handling of a young NFL QB in recent memory. So now we have the hot pockets calling for Leinart,Vince Young,Rivers,Neil Young...anyone they've ever heard of on ESPN or MTV. Losman could be ANYTHING right now, boom or bust.. but we'll NEVER know if we don't give him a fair shake. When he went back in against KC, he looked like a much better QB with his accuracy, poise and reads. Let him have a competion with Holcomb going into the summer. That should be over in 2 weeks, if not 2 days, with JP the clear winner. Meanwhile, we have real, not imagined, issues with other units on our team. The OL, DL and hiring the right OC,DC come to mind. A vet WR to possibly replace Moulds, an actual NFL TE, IDing a CB to possibly replace Clements are other concerns on a long list. QB isn't an issue because we need to see what we actaully have in JP behind a credible OL with some good playcalling. Throwing him under the bus at this juncture is pure lunacy. If he bombs, we can make a move next year. We will actually KNOW something then about his ability to be our starting QB without constantly being yanked by a coach with no backbone. I think Marv can help Mularkey figure that one out. Ok, I'm done here. Onto the next imagined crisis...

How does the grassy knoll fit into this theory ?

You're opinion is dead on and getting no respect !

Inna Godda Davida or Talking Plowed One of the two.

He made me hate laptops. Remember TD saying GW had this really neat "gadget" he'd never seen before, full of spreadsheets containing football coaches ? Now everytime a see a laptop at work, I mutter " GW " to myself and smash the docking station.

We have a Vomit forum ?

Plus he could tell us how Bruschi levitates with a halo.

His agent, Tom Donahoe, would hold him out of camp so he could run moonshine through the mountain backroads. He drinks, you know..

Marv just reached for his nitro pills.

Everyone that disagrees is drinking Kool-Aid and in denial. I've seen these posts before. Rinse..repeat.

I respect your position.

I agree.

Head Chef opening, maybe. A wiz with Retatta.

Let's do SD a favor and take Gates off their hands. I'll give them Wire, Aiken, Ron Edwards, Bennie Anderson and 100 Wings from La Nova.

In addition to Rams OC Steve Fairchild, the former RB's coach under Gregg Williams, The D&C gave us these blurbs this morning.. Names are starting to emerge for the coordinators jobs in Buffalo. Veteran assistant Sam Wyche is closest to the scene and could be promoted, providing Wyche's health issues don't prevent him from accepting a more demanding role. Other candidates are fired Raiders coach Norv Turner, who had successful runs as offensive coordinator in Dallas and Miami and New England Patriots quarterback coach Josh McDaniels, 29, who has been lauded for his work with Tom Brady. Defensively, the Bills won't confirm reports that they have received permission to speak with Atlanta Falcons defensive backs coach Brett Maxie. However Maxie, who played safety in the NFL for 13 years, has the playing background Mularkey is seeking to replace after letting go Clements, Krumrie and Blackmon. New England Patriots defensive line coach Pepper Johnson, who starred for 13 seasons at linebacker in the NFL, is also on Buffalo's radar, as are ex-Saints head coach and Bills linebacker Jim Haslett and ex-Texans coach Dom Capers. Also on any short list being compiled is Ted Cottrell, who was let go by the Vikings despite a strong season. Cottrell has strong ties to new Bills general manager Marv Levy, who hired Cottrell in Buffalo.

That's an insane idea by the Chargers. It's the same type of injury that sidelined Chad P. A huge risk in the cap age. They'd be wise to wait until he mends and prove he's all the way back.

Nice job, Gerry. Git R Done, Marv !

Doug and Darin Flutie are weeping.
