If they wanted to move the team, they'd sell the team and move it. A difference of 10,000 season tickets isn't going to 'allow' that to happen. Why bother to drive away fans and make the product worth less? If they wanted to keep costs at a minimum, they would have just kept Jauron.

Thomas CHANdler Gailey, if you're wondering. I don't know why he's not Tom Gailey.

Who plays WR in a spread in Buffalo? Evans-Hardy-Johnson-Jenkins?

Athletic QB? Check out that backup in Oakland. Jonathan Paul.

That post-gazette article is all that's keeping me from driving down to One Bills Drive and barricading all the doors until I get some answers.

So this is going to happen, isn't it?

What has Schefter said that's wrong? Is Cowher our head coach?

Any word on his time at Georgia Tech? All I see is that he made a bowl every year, but was rarely far above .500 and was bought out before going to KC.

He managed to lose a playoff game to Jake Plummer's Cardinals with Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman, and Michael Irvin, huh?

Not nearly as ugly as it will be if you're right.

Isn't the fact that we let them go - and only a few purely for money reasons - discount the idea we have good talent people?

Garrett's offense could even begin to figure out Frazier's defense. Both are high-talent.

Rams-Panthers also did it in 2003 or 2004. Delhomme to Smith on the first play of the second overtime. However, I think at the end of the 2nd overtime, there is a two minute warning, and a mini 'halftime' before they go to a 3rd.

You care more about the guy's face on the sideline than what his players are doing on the field?

So is McNabb being dumped, or are they just listening in case someone knocks their socks off?

Very sad.

Odrick, Selvish, and Snead. What's Michael Morgan doing on that list?

I'd buy it for players, but I think most coaches don't care where they live - they get up, go to work, come home, go to sleep. There's not a lot of time for nightlife on an NFL coach's schedule. What there is is in the offseason, and they can go wherever then.

What Super Bowl ring does Martz have? Because if we're including non-HC ones, Frazier has one too. Martz was a washout in St. Louis, and then got fired two times from being the offensive coordinator on bad teams. He's had a chance - we know he's bad. I'd rather take a shot with a new guy than ride that train. Billick, though, remains mysterious. But both have had multiple opportunities to get back into the NFL and never get considered. I'd say something's wrong with both.

I'm behind Frazier all the way. Except for this: it forces me to do a terrible, awful thing tomorrow: Go Cowboys!

Basically, we backed into Nix and we're going to back into Frazier. It's possible that these are both decent, even good choices, but if they are, it means we got lucky.

Three things: 1.) Ralph isn't senile, he's always been this way. He fired Polian fifteen years ago when he was a much younger man, and other than a brief burst under Lou Saban in the 60s, has always hired subpar personnel. Age may have made it worse, but it's not like he was a genius football man who lost his faculties. He's been a bad owner to work for and never was any better. 2.) Jerry Jones just won his first playoff game since 1996. He got on a hot streak in the early 1990s because he backed into greatness from the Herschel Walker trade, and hasn't been able to recover until now. And for the most part, coaches don't want to work for him: it's why he has Wade Phillips. He briefly got Bill Parcells, who quit a few years in. 3.) Snyder has a similar track record. They haven't done much at all since he took over, basically, the team has been the Bills with a little bit more luck and without the Patriots in the division. And his last coach was Jim freaking Zorn. He finally agreed to give up all the authority to Shanahan, who took the job. Ralph wasn't willing to even to do that.

http://www.footballoutsiders.com/extra-poi...led-completions An interesting write-up: QBs whose completed passes are unsuccessful - mostly short of a first down on 3rd or 4th, but also failing to gain a certain chunk of the distance needed on 1st or 2nd. Guess who's number 1 in failed completion rate? Guess who's number 4?

The knock on the 3-4 when it went out of style in the 90s was that it was weak against the run. And a lot of the other worst rushing defenses are 3-4s: Kansas City, Cleveland, Arizona, San Diego, and New England all had bottom-10 rushing defenses. It also put together a similar number of the top 10 defenses against the run. As it turns out, scheme isn't destiny. It's about the talent, and a coach who can match a scheme to his talent.

If it makes you feel better, the Roman Empire lasted 400 years after the fiddle incident, or 1400 if you count the Eastern wing.
