Maguire's Beer

Edwards or Fitz, one thing is consistent on a Dick-coached team: stellar clock and time out management.

Agreed. If you catch it, the other team can't catch it.

Mark Sanchez's exposure as a California boy who doesn't like cold weather is combining with stupid play by the Jets' DBs and marginally competent playcalling to save Dick's job.

Was that . . . a slant?

Sanchez looks like he has Qualifornia Quarterback disease. As a Bills fan, I'm an expert, and can diagnose it authoritatively. Fitz just sucks.

Chuck Lester is clearly the only man for the awesome job of interim HC.

Bobby April's bid for interim status just took a hit.

Dick should challenge.

That's the Hahvard intellect, doncha know.

So the Titans take Suh with the #1 pick, giving us our choice of the QBs. Here's hoping we have a real GM to make the pick.

I wouldn't have been at all surprised if Dick had challenged the TD call there. "Well, I thought he was down on the one-inch line."

The only good thing about the near-universal consensus that Fitz sucks is that we're spared yet another Flutie-Johnson / JP-Trent debate.

Moorman and Wendling. They work almost as well as a keyed-in QB-WR tandem.

As someone else said, lotta tough guys here. Tough guys with no grounding in physics.

And if he spits when he yells so much the better, right?

Shut the f--- up, Donny! Mike Holmgren! Michael George Holmgren!

Brandon told GR that he "knew nothing" about the allegedly scheduled ceremony.

Ah, shame on me. I didn't get the memo from Russ. Sorry for the wasted thread.

Tough day for Russ. Fresh from denying that there was ever a halftime ceremony scheduled for Ralph ("the Yankee imperialists have not 'taken Basra' -- they are being overrun by the valiant Republican Guard as we speak!"), and busy dodging questions about the future of his head coach ("his excellency the president is not 'on the run' -- he's . . . vacationing in Tikrit), his outfit has shut down the official buffalobills.com message boards. This is not a healthy franchise.

Ralph was there at the formation of the AFL, but he wasn't as critical as, say, Lamar Hunt. And yeah, he did help keep the Raiders afloat early on, but are we really grateful for that? When he finally made it into the HoF, I was reminded of the part in Animal House where Hoover defends the Delta house on the grounds that it "has a long history of existence."

99% in agreement. I've been saying for two years that this team will continue to go nowhere until a real GM with real authority and accountability is hired in the place of the hydra-headed "braintrust." That said, i would retain Brandon in a non-football capacity. The guy could sell turds to the sewer authority.

1) Brandon wouldn't comment on Jauron's job security after the game, saying simply that today "was a low point." 2) The Bills cut the RW HoF ceremony at what appears to have been the last minute. 3) Carucci called the situation a "volcano" about to erupt. 4) No direct statement from RW yet. Based on all this, it appears there's at least a chance that Jauron might get canned in the very near future. The Hall of Fame thing and Carucci's speculation aren't that big of a deal, but the fact that Brandon refused to give Jauron the standard vote of confidence is a new development.

Thanks in advance, Ralph!

Toronto, San Antonio, Vancouver, LA . . . I could make arguments why each of those is problematic, but you're nuts if you don't think it's a real possibility. The Bills have the lowest ticket prices in the NFL, no obvious local buyer, and -- most importantly -- there's a general perception out there, including with Goodell et al, that the team is on the way out. Not saying it's gonna happen, but it's a serious fear.

Damn skippy. Sell the team now, and we'll find out whether they leave or they stay. Either way, we can move forward -- possibly as fans of Cleveland or Pittsburgh or where ever our loyalties take us, but hopefully with a new, inspired, and decidedly Buffalo Bills.
