RJ (not THAT RJ)

I really wonder whether the Iggles would part with Kolb. Reid made a big move by drafting him, and is too much of an egomaniac to admit he was wrong, and there is just no guarantee how much longer McNabb can play well.

Could be.... At the very least, he has to see that 2010 (off-season and season) is his last chance to show that he can be more than just another RB who was decent for a couple of years. I wonder whether he has the drive and maturity to rise to the occasion.

Excellent point.

Nice. I am as disappointed with Whitner as any Bills fan, but I also think that most of the internet heroes snarking on "Lil Donte" would curl up in a little ball and cry if confronted with him. Can we discuss player weaknesses without the idiotic chest-thumping?

I think you and other posters are right on. She (or, more precisely, she and her ambulance chasing lawyer) probably hope that simply filing this suit will lead to a quick cash settlement. It is all perfectly legal within the system, and nothing less than Lynch deserves for being such a bonehead, even if it may leave a bad taste in some mouths.

I just hope that all the self-obsessed giggling coming from the basement doesn't scare his mom..... Thanks to the other posters for the WNY slang, though. I have not heard "mock you out" in years!

The title of a Joseph Heller novel, translated into Idiotese....

It also shows that the whole "coaching tree" idea is BS. Being a successful assistant sometimes makes you a good head man, sometimes it does not. It matters little whether you coached under anyone in particular, though it can help you get hired.

Which will not be the first time for this team. I know we all hate that the Bills have not made the playoffs in a decade, but the Jets having made it three (four?) times is little more than a statistical anomaly....

The thought occurred to me as well, and I would be delighted if that somehow helped Cowher make his decision...

That's cool. I was very glad he pulled out that last drive to give JoePa the win.. I did not want Bowden to creep one game closer in the standings.

I am with you, zazie. If they are serious about education, colleges should be compelled to grant student-athletes scholarships that extend long enough to make up for the light loads they carry during their active playing semesters. In return, the NCAA should expect that programs make every effort to guarantee at least 70% graduation rates within six years. That is long enough to give them a legitimate chance, but also requires that students and colleges remember the importance of getting that degree. Too few college players actually make it in the pros to justify letting the vast majority waste the opportunity to get an education. Without such a commitment, all we are left with is the disgusting spectacle of rich (mostly white) alumni of big football factories using (mostly though of course not exclusively African American) young men as disposable trash for their amusement, debasing the very notion of the student-athlete.

Hey, it works for Mel Kiper!

The Bills do not need either of those things, IMHO. They need a QB who can play full time, and lots of other pieces too. Whether that QB is a draft pick, an FA, or even Brian Brohm remains to be seen, but Clark is unlikely to be that guy. He would be a waste of a draft pick if they took him before draft Sunday. I say this as a PSU fan; I never had much confidence that he would move the ball against good defenses, and the Lions' reliance on FGs in the bowl game simply reasserted that for me.

There is a lot to like about his size and strength, but he is a terribly erratic passer. He is Tim Tebow without the gaudy stats. No way is he a pro QB.

Oh I know that from experience. I just thought he needed to be called on it. Not that I expect that to change anything, but I was bored and decided to tilt at a windmill.

Aw... you are selling yourself short, ICE. You took a huge dump on this choice from the start....

He was definitely known as a big arm man. During his USFL years, Phil Simms spoke to the Dunlop Pro-Am dinner and specifically said that Kelly was a 'stud' whose arm strength made him ideal for Orchard Park.

What will we see? Some other guy named DarthICE already proclaimed this hire a disaster of assclownian proportions! There is no need to wait and see... they suck. At least that is what the DarthICE of 2009 said.

Amen, amen, and amen, my brother. people need to step away from the Wikiquote.

I know.

Well... maybe all of them fired Rusty Jones? [/TBD idiot]

They have heard of him. Holmgren had a Scotty Bowmanesque tenure at Seattle... he went there thinking as a successful coach he should be a GM too... but flopped. He had renewed success when he was just HC.

False false false. He was a hugely hot commodity in 2000-2001. Only an idiot with no historical sense would say otherwise. Whether he should have been is another matter entirely.

This pernicious falsehood is based on nothing but hindsight. I wish we didn't hire Greggo too, but let's not pretend that anyone predicted that Fox would have been better. Both were hotshot coordinators, that's it.
