This is it for MNF on ABC. Dandy Don will be back for one more chorus of "Turn out the lights, the party's over". I also believe that we only have one more week of Sunday ESPN PrimeTime left. Does anyone know why the NFL is yanking PrimeTime off ESPN? Is it because NBC will be having their own version of this on Sunday evening before their game?

Way to insult the fans of Minnesota and the great teams from their past... Foot in mouth Vikings coach Mike Tice was upset that there were so many Steelers fans in the Metrodome last week. They were a vocal force during the Pittsburgh victory. So after the game Tice blasted Vikings fans who he suggested scalped their tickets to Pittsburghers. "It confuses me, I guess," Tice said. "Maybe they're not really diehard season-ticket holders or maybe they needed the money for Christmas presents. I don't know. One of the two." Yes, this is the same man who was nailed with a $100,000 fine from the NFL just nine months ago for scalping his Super Bowl tickets. Tice didn't stop there, either. He continued to take on his fans during his weekly radio show. Asked if he felt he wasn't living up to the history and standard of the organization, Tice bellowed, "What history? What tradition? Losing four Super Bowls? Not selling out at (former Vikings home) Met Stadium?" http://buffalonews.com/editorial/20051225/2058036.asp

Come on over to the Sabres Report board and share your memories. Make sure you go check out the link to the Sabres Alumni website(link is in the thread) and listen to the originial "We're going to win that cup" along with all the songs from the Jim Schoenfeld album. Great memories. http://www.sabresreport.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=751

So you want to eliminate signing players who grew up in the Southeast and Southwest where they hone their skills by playing football year round? YOU'RE FIRED!!!!

Cut it out you Patsie troll. Don't you ever have anything good to say about the Bills!

Chest injury? Are his man boobs sagging to the point of causing discomfort? Get in shape and get healthy or get the heck out of town!

I don't get this at all. Regardless of his title, TD was hired because of his football expertise and if RW feels he has failed in this regard, get rid of him. I'm not paying him all that money to oversee the "business" side of the house.

I didn't say I WANTED him to die, I'm just asking what everyone thinks will happen when the day comes. Now you can go back to the high & mighty pedestal you preach from.

2006 will be a rebuilding year. Say goodbye to EM & MW(and TD ), absorb the dead cap hit and let's hope that this team can begin a resurgence.

I thought before the season started that no matter how bad or good the team would be in 2005, that JP would at least make this season an exciting one. Of course it doesn't help things when he is nailed to the bench. PS I still believe he will be a good NFL QB!

...and that would be a problem how?? He would sell the Sabres in order to buy the Bills in a heartbeat.

A caller on WGR tonight suggested that the best Chad Johnson celebration would be to score the touchdown and then walk over to TD on the sidelines and fire him!

The good news is that Chuck Lester survived yet another coaching change!

This is what they say about Krumrie and look at the miracles he has achieved working with our DT's.

Maybe he is so elusive, I miss it every time.

It's the elusiveness that I'm waiting to see. Being able to run quickly in a straight line isn't being elusive. Maybe next year he will be more elusive.

I know that roll outs cut down the ability to throw all over the field, but I continue to be puzzled as to why the Bills don't call more roll out pass plays for JP in lieu of the fact that this OL is getting worse not better and he is one of the most mobile QB's in the NFL. Does the staff even realize that DB is no longer under center?

I'm not sure if LJ is that good or if he is a product of the system, much like whomever Denver inserts at RB and instantly becomes Gale Sayers. Either way, he is putting up huge numbers. PS What the hell was he thinking when he signed a 7 YEAR ROOKIE CONTRACT! http://www.kcchiefs.com/player/larry_johnson

Sorry I missed the thread, I wouldn't have created a new one.

I should have phrased my originial post differently. My comparison is more of a guy who has good(not great) straight ahead speed and goes down very easily. Not so much of a comparison as to how he can catch the football.

I saw that he returned a TD yesterday and that is what made me think of him.

Am I the only one not impressed by RP's so-called blazing speed? I believe there was one kick or punt return yesterday where he appeared to be caught from behind by a LB. I don't see any elusiveness from him on the passes he has caught or the kicks he has returned and because he is 170 lbs. soaking wet, he can't break any tackles and goes down easily. I know it is only his first year, but I don't see anything special about his future. He probably would have been a better pick for the Rams in their wide open offense. Remind anyone of Antonio Brown?

RW is paying TD a boatload of cash to build a football team, not to sell tickets. That's where his so-called expertise is. TD got the title of President so that he wouldn't have to answer to anyone but the 80+ year old owner of the team. I have no proof of this, but I bet TD does not have a lot to do with the non-football day-to-day operations. I'm sure there are plenty of qualified staff in the front office that take care of this. TD has had 5 years to land this team in the playoffs and has failed miserably. Time for him to move on.
