You are correct. Even if Jauron is gone, we have to count on Ralph to make the right decisions which he has consistently proven incapable of doing. The Bills winning and keeping the Patsies out of the playoffs!!! It won't get any better than that any time soon.

Belichick could show up with the Detroit Lions roster Sunday morning with a hangover and game plan to beat the Dick.

Could also be fullback Donnell Bennett, a U of M guy from Fort Lauderdale, taken in 2nd round by Chiefs in 94 He was 29 years old, '01 was his only season with the Skins and his last season in the NFL He was also an offensive player as was Tucker. Lang was a pretty intense player and relatively young(26) at the time and going to become an UFA at end of season which wouldn't really fit the profile as he was needing to impress to make the big bucks.

With all he has going for him, why doesn't he try something he actually has a shot at being successful at such as finding the cure for cancer or discovering the beginning of the universe??? In Swampscott he may be a legend, but in Chicago and Buffalo he will be remembered as a failure of a coach.

It all comes down to coaching and this staff doesn't have what it takes to make the playoffs with a sufficiently talented team to do so. Even if this staff found a way to get this team to the playoffs, it would find a way to make an early exit. As much as I hate to see this team start over with a whole new system, it's the only hope this team has at this point. I have rooted for this team for forty years and Ralph has proven over and over again that he doesn't have a great desire to, is not willing to, or is incapable of bringing a Super Bowl to Buffalo(even during the "glory days" with his unwillingness to identify the team's weaknesses and take the necessary steps to compete with the NFC's more physical play). That's the sad reality that I believe most fans have come to terms with. I have approached the past ten years with optimism about the potential of the Bills. This season has unfortunately brought the cold reality that Ralph will never bring a Super Bowl to Buffalo. Go Bills!!!!!

This team doesn't have overwhelming talent, but enough talent to compete for a mere playoff spot during a time of mediocrity. The Dick is the difference.

Russ and Ralph can dress him in a Count Dracula outfit on the sidelines. "I will suck the life out of this team!!! ho ho ha ha"

EVERY team doesn't defer. It's a perfectly legitimate question as this deference has been consistently unsuccessful when exercised as of late. His answer to this "moot" question reveals the larger issue--he has zero confidence in his offense.

Agreed. Ralph shouldn't point any fingers unless he's looking in the mirror. This steaming pile of s*#t is of his making.

I believe Ralph signed Donahoe at a discount because of Buffalo's close proximity to his home of Pittsburgh. Plus, he could justify paying Donahoe by his taking over the day-to-day operations of the franchise.

Wasn't Dr. Spock a baby doctor???

The most common thread over the past decade has been a horrendous offensive line. Why in the hell can other teams put a bunch of no-names together who perform well. The Bills have had multiple combinations of o-lines made up of draftees, high priced free agents, and no-name free agents over the past ten years. They have done it under different gm's, several different o-line coaches and offensive coordinators. Why do they always suck????!!!!!

I bet the dumb ass couldn't name one thing that Obama believes in. The diva might not be to happy to find out that his paycheck is gonna be cut by a third.

A team can never have enough corners especially those that can return punts/kicks for touchdowns. I don't think the eleventh pick in the draft automatically equals pro bowl, but they should be solid starters which McKelvin already looks capable of being.

Sounds like it applies to "down by contact" plays and not to incomplete passes, but it should have given "muscles" Hoculi justification to do the right thing and allow San Diego to recover the fumble.

I know what you're saying. What if the replay had indicated that he was down by contact prior to his forward lateral? Would they have the clock stopped and 3 seconds to run another play that would have otherwise run out?

Athlon + Lindy's = RJ

12. Buffalo: Patrick Willis, LB, Mississippi -- Willis is the best middle linebacker in the draft, and the Bills lost London Fletcher in free agency and traded Takeo Spikes to the Eagles. Willis recently ran under 4.4 in the 40-yard dash at his Pro Day and is a tackling machine. Don't be surprised if Buffalo moves down a few spots and goes in a different direction. For example, Carolina could jump up two spots and take Willis while the Bills drop down for Penn State's Paul Posluszny.

Sirius NFL channel reported that Bills are working the details of a deal to send Spikes to an unnamed team.

Just a gut feel, but with Spikes gone soon, I think Marv will address lb with the first pick and it won't be Willis. Poz has the flexibility to play inside or out, he's a character guy, a Penn State LB (#31 that Conlan wore) The pick would fit in with Marv's tendency to pass over the "better player" (WILLIS) to go with a less conventional pick. Poz is predicted to go in the mid or late first round, but to trade down would be "too risky".

I disagree with your reasoning. Our pass defense was greatly improved in almost every category with two rookie safeties. With his rookie year under his belt, Whitner will only get better. It would stand to reason, then, that the pair of safeties taken, including Whitner, despite how high he was taken, were good picks.

Irsay robbed us of Wil Wolford.

Apparently, Jerry liked the "lifestyle" practiced in San Francisco. He always seemed a little light in the loafers.

I compare Tasker to Bill Maas, a well respected player who revealed himself an idiot after becoming a commentator. To them, I give the following: "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt." -- Mark Twain ...

The loss was for the better as it further exposed our major weaknesses which will have to be addressed in the offseason. Great post and love the Meatballs reference.
