Dont be modest, the stromboli is the star.

Meh. Middle of the road. He would have helped us a little this year, but you could say that about 85% of the receivers in the NFL. When you have Powell, Percy, and Hunter running around out there, anyone would have helped. However, Hogan is just a middle of the road role player, that fits in with NE. Not a big deal with or without him.

How do we know Brandon didnt update the wiki page last with this story? I remember 2005, and I dont remember any of this. Is this just more Russ Brandon newspeak? I wouldnt put it past him.

Mario and Rex are actually very similar in that their best days are past them. At this point, both are just trying to figure out ways to hang around and still get paid. It has to be a hard decision when you know the game has passed you by (physically, mentally) but just being on a roster for another year or two will get you a couple million.

This is why I think the pressure will be on Whaley. Not only will he be heavily involved in the HC choice, if he goes with the easy choice (Lynn) he will be heavily invested in the rest of the staff. He has to be, because you cant trust those decisions to a RB coach and expect real results. Conversely, if you get a Tom Coughlin type, Whaley can sit back and hang his hat on him, because someone that tenured will choose his own staff. But if he fails, Whaley fails, too. He has to choose: alot of work or alot of trust.

I feel like Lynn being hired is also going to put Whaley on the hot seat (not necessarily in a bad way). Rex didnt need help putting a staff together (in his mind). He was self sustained and pretty much knew who he wanted and where he wanted them. Lynn on the other hand is a position coach who has carved a very specific niche for himself. Hes going to need a ton of help putting together a staff. Thats where Whaley will need to step up, IMO. There wont be anywhere to hide if Lynn fails, because Whaley will be just as responsible for not only the players, but the coaches this time around. So fast forward to end of next year, if its a miserable failure, clean house.

Rex's Bills truck will need new springs in the seats (driver & passenger). It will also need a full interior detail before it can be given to the new coach (wing sauce).

Syracuse sucks.

Matt Rhule from Temple (just took the Baylor job). A leader of men.

I think Ryan pushed for a long term deal, thinking that he had earned it from his past. I dont think that he had any intention of winning a Super Bowl or lasting 5yrs. Coasting is exactly what he did this year, and he brought his brother in to get him paid, too, if only for 1 yr. Football is all he knows, and he knew well enough what he was doing.

Haha...is this a joke thread?

This is a stupid comment. No chance in hell Rob gets named interim if Rex goes.

Maybe you should think about your girlfriends family, and whether they mind entertaining a loser.

I wonder if the plan is to shop him this offseason, with the intention of unloading him or possibly restructuring. I still think he has time left in the NFL somewhere, but probably at a lower cost.

Did she have a black eye or anything? All this really proves is that they like to eat at McDonalds. What was the response when you asked, "Do you wanna make that a combo?"

Did they ever figure out the domestic violence thing with him?

Buff 28-10 in a route. Fish are close to the playoffs and that cant happen.

I dont see the big deal. We've had plenty of JO's on our sidelines in the past.

Personally, Id rather a GM and coach who doesnt play grab ass with the media. Theyre swine, and deserve to be treated that way.

In a way, its sad to see the decline of local sportswriters, but its the way its going. They dont serve a purpose anymore, so they try to garner as many clicks as they can and cause as much controversy to make them seem relevant. Sully would probably be better off if he transitioned to a hardline restaurant critic or something a little more modern than a newspaper columnist.

No Dareus? Common, man!

Yes.

Rex started high, ended low. Bill started low and hasnt come down yet. Big difference.
