  1. Excerpt from the link below...

     

    With the Bills trailing, 30-26, McGahee broke a 17-yard gain, his longest of the day, putting the Bills on the Jets' 34-yard line with 4:05 to play. He took himself out after that play and never carried the ball again. Operating out of the no-huddle, the Bills ran Shaud Williams for a 1-yard loss and had three futile pass plays.

     

    McGahee said he took himself out because the Bills were in the hurry-up offense and he got tired. Why were the Bills in such a hurry? They began that possession at their own 36, with 5:55 to play. They had plenty of time. If running the no-huddle forced their best running back out of the game at a crucial time, was it really worth it?

    This was only the 3rd play in the series and neither of the first two were carries by WM. How can you be tired? WTF is up with this guy?

  2. Some time over the summer, I predicted the Bills would hold training camp at St. John Fisher. The Bills would play 16 regular season games this year. 8 at home and 8 on the road. Sometimes they would wear blue jerseys and sometimes they would wear white. In every game they play there will be a winner and a loser. I got a lot of heat for this post and I just wanted to say I WAS RIGHT!!! :lol:

  3. What did JP do to Eric in the Miami game?  Not throw to him, and instead throw to Lee for 3 TD's.  Yeah, what an ahole!  I could MAYBE see him throwing a tantrum if JP were ignoring him when he was wide open and drives were stalling, but come on!  And the Pats game was a combo of missing Eric (like the 2nd half of the Miami game) plus the after-effects of blowing a HUGE lead to a division rival, not to mention JP getting injured early.  And it's not like the defense could have stopped the Pats ANYWAY, even if the offense weren't crap.

    EM's rant after the Miami game was one of the phoniest I have ever heard. When was the last time a WR was crying about his team not running the ball enough. LE was in the spotlight and EM didn't like it, but instead of saying what was really on his mind, he came out with the lame crap about not running the ball enough. Goodbye EM.

  4. If I never see another "Jim Kelly would make a great coach" thread(which seem to pop up here on a regular basis), I would be a happy camper.

     

    He has never coached at any level, shows no interest in being a coach, so therefore why would he make a great coach? Because he ran a no huddle offense....whoop de do!

     

    :doh::(

  5. Unless the inmates are running the ayslum(which is a possibility considering the way this season has played out), who cares if the players back Holcomb. Holcomb has about as much upside as the QB who the Bills brought to training camp year after year and who DB was so upset about when they finally cut him. His name escapes me for good reason.

  6. For those who may be interested, here is a link to the press conference with Ward Manuel(new AD) and Turner Gill...

    They tried an asst. from a big time progam(Craig Cirbus) and a HC from Div 1-AA(Jim Hofher) who both failed. Now they turn to a coach without HC or coordinator experience.

     

    Who knows how it will work out.....a few years back UB gave the basketball job to a relative unknown even here in WNY and look how that turned out.

  7. Mike Williams is one great offseason away from being a top 3 RT in the NFL.  I hope now he sees that he needs to drop some weight to stay healthy. He should try and get down to around 355lbs.  He could help us out so much if he just lost 10-15lbs.

    If after 4 years of being overweight, he has not had the desire/motivation to lose some weight(and I believe he needs to lose more than 10-15 pounds), I see no reason to believe why he would change now. It's time to turn the page and get out from underneath his HUGE cap hit.

  8. So when Willis McGahee says he's the best, I'm not so certain he's full of it. McGahee can be a great player and he's a better power runner than LT.

    You're kidding right? If you are saying that you would rather have WM instead of LT, you need to watch some Charger football.

     

    Not only is LT a FAR superior player, WM has been in a funk most of this year, above and beyond mediocre OL play. I am starting to believe that when MM called out WM for hesitating too much earlier this year, that WM just started running where the hole should be, whether there is a hole there or not. The OL play this year is on par with last year, but WM has not been anywhere near as effective as he was in 2004.

  9. 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?"

  10. Scratch that, I guess Williams is out with a chest injury. He's hanged himself already.  Maybe they SHOULD go with McFarland?

    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! :flirt:

  11. TD - stripped of personnel but still managing the books

     

    540843[/snapback]

    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.
