Was just on Mike and Mike and could not be any more complimentary about the appointment of Marv Levy. Bill is a straight shooter and it was great to hear.

In the press conference Ralph practically ordered Tom Modrak to be in Buffalo more next season. Although Buffalo is a nice place and has quite a nice waterfall nearby, I can't see that being much fun for someone from Jacksonville. Especially someone with health problems.
Bearing in mind that he is a friend of TD. Will he resign?
I wasn't aware of "health problems". What's the scoop?
-
Ralph was so emphatic about "more time here" that I have to believe this was quite an issue.
-
I love how Ralph answered that question. He doesn't fire assistants, the head coach does. I believe Ralph's strategy is to tell the head coach to fire an assistant and if the order is not carried out, Ralph just fires the head coach.

Sorry if I have missed this being posted already. Is there anyway to listen to the press conference live? Thanks for any help.

could he be thinking that if MM starts off miserably he'll have Marv to throw in there as the "interim" coach?

GO
1. Rusty Jones replacement
2. Ridiculous play calling
3. Seemed to "lose control" of the team
4. Bottom line... 5 and 11
5. Very rarely beat "quality" opponents (he seemed overmatched)
STAY (harder to think of)
1. Perhaps the QB fiasco and other decisions were TD's... not his
2. The opening drives of each game showed he could do "something right"
I am interested in other opinions... I certainly think he should go.
-
The new GM will have an interesting decision to make about WM's future in Buffalo. Has he earned a big, new contract to lock him in here? Or do we just "let it ride" and see how he does in a contract year?
-
RW should make this a requirement.
I also wouldn't mind seeing Ted Cottrell back in the fold if he is leaving Minni.
We disposed of some good people during the TD era, and I wouldn't mind seeing
some of them back with the Bills.
Also, I have been impressed with Miami's new head coach. I like the way Saban handles things.
Add Rusty Jones to the list.

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?
This goes back to another moronic move by MM... getting rid of Rusty Jones and replacing with one of his cronies. I never remember players being "tired" or "winded" until this year.

The following will include general thought/opinions about the team. Feedback is especially welcomed.
1) Justin Bannan was out there giving it his all. The problem is, he does not belong in professional football. He is so bad it is literally painful to watch. I hope when he is cut that there is even a little bit of cap savings.
2) Please Coach April, keep Josh Reed off of special teams. Are you kidding me? The highlights will show that it was good old Josh who gave up that touchdown. Please trust me on this one. No, I am not a fan of Josh.
3) OK, I'll say it.....I would like to keep Milloy (at a reduced salary) for one more season. If we are to dump a safety, make it Vincent.
4) Kelly Holcombe reminds me of an older woman who looks good for her age. He can never, not friggin ever be a starting qb on a team with any plans of going anywhere.
5) Speaking of qb, I have very little faith in JP. I confess that I don't like him, nor have I ever. I thought that the trade for him was just idiotic then, and I haven't changed my mind. In summary.....the Bills have no qb imo.
6) I am not a fan of TD. He sold us out in draft after draft while trying to make a profit for RW in lieu of building a good football team. That said, the very first person that the Bills should fire is Gray. Sorry, but he is an out and out boob. He is bad beyond words. I would prefer Walt Corey, and he sucked. Make no mistake, Gray is totally incompetent. He is a total disaster.
7) Speaking of DCs, Donnie Henderson will be a great head coach some day. Of this I am sure.
8) Check out my tone here. I am NOT getting nasty, but you people who want to keep Moulds are simply wrong. He can catch passes that are thrown right to him, but that is about all. He is NOT a #1 receiver. He is past his prime and declining before our eyes. 10.85 million in 06? Are you kidding me? No, I would prefer the 5 plus million dollar cap room, thank you very much.
9) I know, Schobel had no sacks today, but he was back in pass coverage in our stupid defensive system, and was making tackles on running plays. AS can play.
10) CV had one of his rare decent games this season. I think that Eric Setterstrom of U Minn. could easily surpass the output/performance of CV. He too (imo) is done.
11) Last but not least....MaGahee is a very good back. He gave it his all today and was imo very, very good. He can SEE the few holes that do exist ala Thurman. MaGahee is an extremely talented player. Case closed.
12) OK, I lied; one more thing.... Jason Peters kicked ass today. I am liking him more each week.
GO TBD!!!!!!!!!!GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice observations. I think Milloy should go. He has not been able to adequately cover any one for years. Whan a good qb needs to complete a pass they normally zero in on Milloy or Fletcher (I don't mean this as a huge knock on Fletcher, but he is a little weak in coverage).

I hugged both of my children and said a quick prayer. All of the arguing in this post is shameful...
-
Another example of lack of respect for the coaching staff. They are "playing hard" for MM... yeah, sure...
-
I beg to differ. I have always like Milloy; he is a hard hitter that always gives his all.... BUT, he cannot cover anyone. I hardly ever see him break up a pass, whoever he is defending always seems to get open. This year, in fact, I don't even feel that he has been effective with blitzes. Like I said, I like his style but he is far from a top safety at this point in his career.
-
MM is probably planning on "resting" JP the rest of the year to save him for TD's second 5 year plan...
-
No matter where we pick. TD will do some creative trading, swapping, etc. to get some headlines. The press coverage is more important to him than how the draft picks will help the team.
-
I would like to see:
Some efforts to throw the ball to McGahee. Let's find out if he can add a new wrinkle. Also, keep him in on a few third downs, for a variety of reasons.
Preston finish out the year starting.
See if we can occassionaly hit the tight end over the middle.
Give Stamer some playing time. I love him as a special teamer, question his ability as an NFL linebacker but like his heart. Let's see what he's got.
Possibly experiment a little with the defensive backfield... might be some changes back there next year, let's make sure what we've got.
Try a little "hurry up" offense. See what JP can do with it. I only say this since Mularkey is full of it with his "smash mouth" concept (meaning he abandons it all the time).
-
We'll see on Sunday. I would guess that Evans will be double-teamed and the coaches will be trying to prove a "we don't need Moulds" point. Between those two things Aikens will certainly have a few thrown his way. Also, our top draft pick could either have a "break-out" or "broke-down" day. Should be interesting.
What would you do?

I am not a MM fan but none of us know the real stories regarding Sam Adams and Eric Moulds. Let's just say that Sam was not giving 100% and needed his butt kicked a little... wouldn't you as a head coach bench him if nothing else worked? How about Eric... regardless why it happened, if he told off a coach and refused to play (if true), wouldn't you suspend him? Losman/Holcomb... who was actually making the decisions?
Losing control of the team? I don't know, but until we know the full stories (probably never), how can we judge him regarding this issue?
Now his play calling is another issue...
