He was just interviewed on the Dan Patrick show. Wow... It was a nice interview. He seems to have the maturity of a 50 year old man now as opposed to the 10 year old when he played. He was humble, he had perspective...
When asked what he thought about being the punch line of so many jokes he came back with a lyric:
"I think the world of myself. It's just that the world doesn't think much of me..."
Well, good for him, it's nice to see that someone can learn from his mistakes.

This strikes me as very strange, because it's not like Leaf was a cerebral QB who failed in the NFL due to physical limitations. Who knows, maybe he's finally got his head screwed on straight.

OJ does not pale in comparison to the complete package of Thurman.I love Thurman--a great all around back and 2nd ballot hall of famer at least....-but OJs running skills --probably among the 3 greatest of all time--put him well beyond this COMPLETE package stuff of Thurman.Lets be a bit sane about this.
So you're saying he's a cut above?

You guys make me laugh. EVERYBODY is crying with what has been going on the last few years but somebody makes a suggestion and everybody is against it. You can't have your cake and eat it too. What success has this franchise have in this time? One season with a ballooned win/loss record that was popped when they actually faced a decent team (Pittsburgh) at home when it counted the most. What a joke! What did Donahoe really accomplished while he was here? Got us out of salary cap jail? Big deal! He purged the whole dam team. Anybody could of done that! Oh, wait, he got us a few marquis names and some aged veterans. The only real problem there was inconsistent results and records. People better be careful about spouting off about this next Brett Farve, he's Donahoe's chosen one.
Were you, you know, actually reading people's replies? Because here are the points I saw various posters raise:
1. San Diego would never go for this trade
2. QB is not the primary problem with this team
3. Your plan would postpone dealing with the fundamental problems of this Bills team, namely offensive and defensive line
I haven't seen anyone arguing that Losman is going to be a great player. The closest I've seen is that perhaps it's not wise to throw him away after one half-season starting on a pretty poor team.
So, sorry if people disagreed with your suggestion, but c'mon. "Bring in a star QB to save the franchise" is your big idea?

I'm not particularly worried about the Phins next year.
The competitors for this Bills team, until they prove otherwise, are the Raiders/Texans/Ravens/Jets of the NFL. I see no reason to get worked up over how they'll do against teams competing for the division title.

Why did this have to happen to us Bills fans?
As a die-hard Bills fan, I can only say to other die-hard Bills fans that I'm sorry. . . I feel your pain.
Reading this board today I see real, true-life anguish out there. I concur with your sentiments. I wish this didn't have to happen to us.
Bills fans are the most fiercely loyal, live and die with their team, blood, sweat, and tears fans I can ever imagine. The town they live and play in is a testament to the gritty, blue-collar work ethic that they want from their sports teams. If they ever won a Super Bowl, it would be a day that time stood still for an entire city. The city virtually revolves around its teams. No other city (except maybe Green Bay) could possibly have its citizens lives so intertwined with the fate of its professional sports franchises.
But, it appears it just isn't meant to be. For that, I say sorry to all of those die-hard Buffalo Bills fans whose hopes and optimism are as crushed as mine are this day.
Kudos, man. This is an awesome parody.

Um... no? Unless you mean posters on message boards wishing the NFL would allow that sort of ownership structure.

My prediction if this thread was what I thought when I opened it...
Donahoe, 2nd round, technical knockout. Ralph's downfall starts when he tries to hit TD with a tennis racket, slips and falls on the ice and breaks a hip. Donahoe then, in a symbolic move, takes a wireline phone handset and bashes Ralph in the noggin while screaming--"don't call me ever again you big eared little bastard"..
Close, except I think TD grabs a mailbox and tells Ralph to "save the postage".

You know what, I was thinking about this today and even though I don't think Sherman is a coach who will take you all the way, I think this team needs a taste of success. If he can right the ship and get the Bills back to the playoffs I'm all for it. If the team had been a contender at any point over the last few years I'd be looking for someone different to put them over the top, but, well, here we are.

But if Easterbrook wasn't able to bring up the same points in every column, it would only be about two paragraphs long. How's he supposed to support a family writing just a two paragraph column? Think of the children!

There's a lot to back this theory up, but I am just left wondering why? If Ralph doesn't have a problem shelling out multi-million dollar signing bonuses, why would he have an issue paying coaches the going rate?

I don't think that's a minor point at all, it's ridiculous. If Wilson and Levy wanted Mularkey gone, they should've fired him. What self-respecting coach will want to come here?

I've been a fan since 1973 and as loyal as anyone but this downward cycle isn't pretty. We have to be viewed as a "joke" to other franchises out there.
Things better get stable around there or our dreams of bringing in free agents with talent are history. Find a coach with balls, give him some players, give him growing room and support him all the way.
Hook 'Em!
I agree with you, things are in real danger of spinning completely out of control and making the organization a complete laughingstock. The only hopeful note for me is that even perpetual cellar-dwelling franchises can rebound, as shown by the Bengals, if you find the right people to put in charge.

Do they keep stats for most diving fair catches?

I can't believe that he is in such hot demand...his game management skills deteriorated over the course of three years and they were substandard to begin with. The comparisons to Belichick are laughable..Belichick has always been a great strategist, developer of talent and game coach...his last year in Cleveland was the franchise exit year--before that he had the Browns on a pretty positive path--11-5 the year before the franchise move was announced..
I also couldn't understand how often his name was getting thrown around as a head coaching candidate, given that his failures in Buffalo had nothing to do with being a good defensive coordinator. What exactly has he shown that would lead people to believe he would have a better handle on the aspects of the game that he had trouble with?

I think what you're missing is that people (at least most of them) aren't taking enjoyment from TD's losing his job. If/when TD is fired I'm not going to sit here thinking happily about TD packing his bags, saying his goodbyes and sitting at home in a funk wishing he had done things differently. I'm going to be happy because it means the Bills are attempting making a move to improve the team, simple as that. There is a difference whether you wish to acknowledge it or not.
The problem is there is a very vocal contingent of fans who seem to relish the opportunity to tear down everyone who ever leaves the team. They're well-represented by Jerry Sullivan and "Coach" Dickerson, and it makes it a lot harder to stake out a moderate position.
