So all the concerns and worries that the Bills wouldn't hire a real GM can be set aside. They apparently will begin interviews after Christmas, according to linky. Apparently Ralph isn't as senile as many have insisted and really does intend to overhaul the team. Let the discussions begin has to who the new GM should be (assuming Shannahan doesn't come).

What good are all these improvements though, if you still cram too many people in too small a space, and give them some horribly uncomfortable seats to boot? It's kinda like developing Super HD TV, but making us all watch it on a 12inch tv. What's the point? So, until some of that fuel efficiency tanslates to cheaper tickets or the interior improvements translates to more comfortable seeting arrangements, it's all talk, IMO.

Why don't they just give you enough room to acutally breath and stretch out a little. It's not the air that's cutting the circulation in my legs that can't move an inch or the crink in my neck because the back seat is horrible uncomfortable, all while I'm packed into some seat and can't even move my arms pasts my shoulder width for 3-4 hours. Yeah probably too some friggin genious years to realize better air circulation is what we need on a plane.

Yes. What's more important.. .the Bills winning games? Or your fantasy players having nice stats, along with a few highlights on ESPN? I think you have your priorities all wrong if you want low scoring, ugly wins over better FF numbers.

Byrd's pics are great....but, I still have to find something to about because I can't allow one moment of pleasure into my life.

The guy's instincts are to catch the ball every time he's near it, and you want him to start knocking it down instead of catching it? Because he might fumble it after he catches it? It really is true... Jauron's ultra conservative football has completely infected this franchise, including the fan base.

Why? Just pick it up and carry it. Reminds me of some employees I had last summer, asked me how they lift manholes to check inside the basin. "Easy... you pick it up. What's the friggin problem?" He looked at me like I had 3 heads. Needless to say he didn't last long.

I fully expect 3 TDs this week. Why? Because I had Brady and Moss on my fantasy team. First week of the playoffs - and they both crap out. I lose by 9 points. Friggin b s! Moss gets me NEGATIVE 0.4 friggin points! So, yeah this week, now that I'm eliminated... the tards will put up 3 or 4 touchdowns and have their best friggin week ever. I hate fantasy football.

Like shooting fish in a barrel. Good job dog.

Nice overall writeup, as usual. To be fair, on the interception in the end zone, I think Lee Evans was the only receiver running a route. IMO, his mistake was throwing a weak pass. He needed to throw it high and to the back of the end zone, so that wither Lee can jump and get it or it goes over everyone's head. Or just throw it away, because the Chiefs definitely snuffed the play out. Also, I'd like to give Fitzy some credit for the best play he made all day - that I haven't seen mentioned yet. His block on the 47 yard Lynch run. Wow, Lynch was getting to the edge with one guy to beat, Fitzy comes out of nowhere and takes out the guys legs which gave Lynch the sideline. It was a great effort and great block! Moorman's 73 yard punt. Really not much more to say.

Someone needs to remind Poz that he owes the Pats* a couple of broken bones; set his hair on fire and let him go.

This board is turning into a bunch of pissy old second guessers and naysayers. Do we really have to play the "what if" game everytime some player has a good game?

Agreed. Lynch needs a RBs coach in the worst way. He dances when he needs to just run. He's a damn good RB; he just needs to stop trying to outjuke everyone especially when they're still 5 yards away from him.

If any team should be aware of the dangers of taking a month off before the playoffs, it should be the Colts. It'll be a complete waste of a great season if they start slacking off now, just to lose their first playoff came because they look like they're still sleeping. IMO, keep the starters playing. The only way I sit them is if they walk into a buzzsaw of a game.

Because you can very easily drop a square one in the manhole. Round lids are extremely difficult to accidentally drop into the hole. I would say impossible, but I know someone that did it last year. No idea how, but they sure enough did.

Seriously, I always try to lighten the mood with a little humor first, but then I'd immediately follow that with a more serious reply. Half the interview is just seeing if you like this person and want to work with them. The other half is can they actually do the job. I've interviewed some people that had the personality of rocks, and its hard to hire them if you don't think they'll fit in. As far as the real answers.. that's alot of math. I try not to do math. It's hard

My answer: Well, I like where you're going with my monthly salary range, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. What's your benefits package like?

I'm not as concerned with the first choice as I am the last choice.

I'd tell them: I don't really care. I'll be working. (Could substitue "working" for something more specific to the job at hand.)

And I thought I was the only person in the country to NOT put their tree up the day after Thanksgiving. I'm going to get mine this afternoon and we'll decorate tomorrow. Lights will go up on the house tomorrow as well (if weatherr permits).

Anyone watching this mess? What happened to the Steelers? They look like the Bills out there - can't tackle, Big Ben has been sacked 5 times already, just poor football all around.

I see what you're saying. But, that's wy I'm not as sold on switching to a 3-4 defense. Do we really want to switch to a defense that needs 4 LBs when we barely have 2 good ones? Plus we need a new NT and RDE? Seems like we could see much better improvement just by tweeking the 4-3 we currently play for a year by dropping all this soft zone, everyone run away from the LOS defense. And, are we really hoping to start multiple rookies on the Oline again? Again, I don't think we're that bad on the Oline. Keep Butler healthy, Levitre, Wood (provided he comes back) and we've got three good guys, with an average center in Hangnail. Draft a stud LT and suddenly the Line may not be nearly as bad as many people think. Put 2 rookies on the line, shift wood to center, Butler back to guard... and jeeze we're back to square one... rookies and everyone in new positions. I guess it comes down to how bad the new HC/FO thinks our current players are and how much they want to completely overhaul everything. Again, I don't think it needs that much. Our current defense isn't awful it just lacks a few players and thte proper attitude and game planning. Our offense could be worlds better with 1 or 2 linemen and a better QB.

I could live with that and it's kinda how I see it. I have no problem giving Brohm a shot and drafting a top teir LT first. However, I would suggest getting the best LB with the #2 pick. Have you seen out LBers? Of course, it all depends on who's available as a FA and who the new HC is and what he wants to do. I really just hope someone doesn't come in thinking they have to completely blow up the team and start from scratch. IMO, there's more talent on this team than most people give them cedit for.

Usually, I go back to my room and work - email, proposals, reports, etc. Then, of course, I gotta get my daily TBD fix in. Although, depending upon where I am and who I'm there seeing, we may go out drinking till all hours of the morning. So, not alot of walking after dinner. But, in my defense, my job has me out walking and moving around pretty good on most days during the summer months. I will admit, though, I'm not your average traveler or eater. One good friend of mine joked once that I'm the oddest person she knows because nothing about my life is normal. I think I stay relatively slim and eat well while traveling, I'm just saying I understand how difficult it can be. And in all fairness, a few years ago, I added some weight due to the travel - hence some of my recent travel/eating habits to keep my weight down (it sucks getting old).

Actually, all that makes me like Brohm even more. I like the fact that he opted to play his senior year, he had decent numbers while in college, he's not been shell-shocked behind a bad OLine or OC, and he looks like a QB (ok I just threw thisone in for fun). But, yeah, maybe he's got a lot more to offer than we currently realize.
