  1. Whoa, sorry guys for this "Dawgged" post. I was stuck at work and bored to tears. In hindsight you're right, why would he leave a winner for Buffalo. I guess it was just wishful thinking. I like to apologize to the board for posting such garbage. As far as me posting last week for him as HC for Buffalo, at the time it was a viable suggestion not a prediction.

     

    In this post I did suggest that could there be somebody on either of these teams that could be considered. Could this be possible?

  2. You know, the more I think about Rusty Jones the more it's making me seethe. W@hy did this have to happen? He has been here how many years? I'm taking a guess at 19. To me, a guy like this is more important than most players. Good players don't have the longest window of opportunity but a guy like Rusty CONDITIONS these players. He affects the WHOLE team. No, Donahoe definitely had some baggage too. Good riddance!

  3. buftex, I appreciate your excellent insights. I don't have inside sources or profess that I know all the going ons that are involved in contract negoiating but I just think that there could have been more class and integrity involved. It's no secret that Donahoe is a big time controll freak. There were some very good aspects to this ego maniac but at the same time there were some that I loathed. Holecek was one that I forgot. I really liked this guy. I saw him down in the Miami game where he had a monster game. The best part of it I went with a Miami diehard. He was talking to himself on the way home after that game. I just appreciated the players who gave me fond memories with their great efforts. One dumping that really makes me unhappy is Rusty Jones. I didn't need time to unfold for me to regret this execution. No doubt, Donahoe made some strong moves but he also left some scars. Not everybody are going to be happy with some decisions but if it's done in a classy way they could respect it. I didn't see this being part of Donahoe's image.

  4. I'm starting to change my opinion with this Levy/Jauron hiring. What's not the obvious in the win/loss column could be the chemistry of the organization. To also to keep in the essence of this post I think that it's apparent that the last few years there was alot of backbiting going on. Let us not forget another example was Travis Henry. Before everyone jumps down my throat, I did think that we had to trade him. Matter of fact, a year earlier than when we did, especially that we had MaGahee. Say what you want about Henry but he did get dumped on. He didn't do nothing but give his best for the team. He lacked but so did our QBs, WRs and yes even Mr. MaGahee at times. I think in retrospect it just wasn't him but that stinking O-line that we have been floundering with.

  5. The point is, I never remembered SO many players being SO bitter about our front office. I believe that they still thought well of the fans, area and franchise just not the staff.

     

    You know shame on me too because when these and other incidents were happening I choose to look the other way or to ignore it, even though it would leave me with an uneasy feeling. How pathetic it is when you compromise your beliefs. I'm alittle let down or disappointed with this Jauron hiring but in hindsight I think I should retract it. The early reports are that players respect him and we all know how players feel about Marv. I think that this just might be a nice change of pace, you know, having harmony and respect in the organization. Could this possibly be what they mean when they say chemistry? I sure hope so, I think the fans could sure use this kind of relief.

  6. I don't know, I think what I meant was the way the players felt about the organization and area and then when they left they were very bitter towards the administration. This just seemed different than other organizations who made business decisions and cuts. This Donahoe was kind of like, well, a weasel? Yea, that's it exactly, a weasel! You know, backstabber. Two faced. Adjectives like these. Hey, maybe I'm wrong, I've been before. I was just wondering if anyone else felt like this at one time or another during Donahoe's reign.

  7. It is too bad about Jay because he was I believe at one time a Buffalo favorite. I was discussing earlier tonight with a non Buffalo fan and I was reflecting on how in the past that players who were defecting and players who we were trying to recruit were either very bitter or wanted nothing to do with the organization. It just seemed like that there was some kind of hypocrisy going on. People like Dick LeBeau, who as far as I know never actually said anything but flew out of here ASAP. There were also some classy guys like Larry Centers and Eddie Robinson who left without the best of feelings. Sam Gash wasn't too happy if I remember correctly. Then of course we have had the past/current malcontents like Sam Adams (who when we signed him wanted to end his career in Buffalo), Ted Washington, Pat Williams, Jay of course, and Moulds. I'm just blurting out some people that come to mind but I'm sure that I missed several more. There seemed to be other people that came here on tour and then signed almost immediately elsewhere. I don't know, these people and scenarios , they all kind of left me with a disturbing feeling with their situations. There was also that white secondary guy, I forget his name from the Colts, that came here last year or the year before and just quit like, what, two days later? That one really bothered me. Not because he was so great but it was like he got here and when he looked around he wanted to puke.

     

    I'm sure that I'm getting flamed for this post but did or does anyone else feel like this?
