The death watch begins.

When does the "Modrak Sucks!" clock begin....

[With thew game on the line, WM is "TIRED"]

Apparently they've forgotten players like Jamie Nails.

Or Bruce Smith...

[Marv Levy to come in and help?]

Come on now we all now if Marv gets the GM he'll name Bobby Ross HC.

Chuck Dickerson for DC...

[Brady Quinn's Sister]

ABC should spend less camera time on her and more camera time on cheerleaders

She's got that saphos thing going with her friend...more entertainment value, IMO.

[Donahoe is OUT! but Mullarkey to Stay???]

I highly doubt any decision has been made about his future yet.

And even if it had, that site would definately not be the first to break the news....

[With thew game on the line, WM is "TIRED"]

The moniker is intended to be ironic, as in, how "fair and balanced" fox news is.  But what is it you exactly disagree with?

549245[/snapback]

 

Not disagreeing. I just thought you were a little more dispondent / argumentative than usual!

[Could this happen?]

Bud Carpenter is a great guy in r/l. One of the nicer guys you will ever meet, provided, of course, you ever meet him. 

549154[/snapback]

 

I agree. I guess I mised the "sarcasm on" light on the Chuck Lester post!

[With thew game on the line, WM is "TIRED"]

When are people going to stop listening and believing what coaches say in press conferences as being the truth. They virtually never say the real reason, nor should they. Willis is not in on third downs because he cannot block great, or catch fantastic, or accelerate as fast as Shaud Williams. But more importantly, he has to kill himself simply to get three yards on this team. The idea was that Williams would be the third down back, as a change of pace, it just hasn't happened all that well and it's not the answer.

 

But Mularkey is not going to say to a reporter, well, frankly, we were wrong about Willis and he can't block for sh--, and he can't run swing passes and draws and change of pace plays as well as some of our other backs. And frankly, that isn't even the real reason. The real reason is our line sucks (and therefore our GM sucks and he really sucks for hiring me) and it wears Willis down to have to struggle for two yards every carry, only to be gang tackled and left for dead. So yeah, Willis gets tired out there.

Kelly, your dog seems to be becoming less fair and balanced by the day....

[With thew game on the line, WM is "TIRED"]

I think it's his cardio-vascular shape that has some wondering.

549185[/snapback]

 

Bingo again. Everybody in the NFL lifts. But there's a whole lot more to being in shape than that.

 

Rusty Jones

 

Secret Weapon

[With thew game on the line, WM is "TIRED"]

No conditioning will fix lack of heart.

"Fatigue makes cowards of us all."

 

Vince Lombardi

[With thew game on the line, WM is "TIRED"]

I question the how much utility these conditioning guys have.  Sure, maybe for the big, fat guys they are useful, but does Willis actually need someone to tell him how to get into shape?  That strikes me as just being silly.

549136[/snapback]

 

Are you saying that Rusty Jones wasn't a big part of the Bills success during the 90s?

[Iron Mike]

doesnt come up

548823[/snapback]

 

Doesn't he take a pill for that?

[Bills move McGahee to land top prize Bush...]

I could posts all day every day for the next year

548684[/snapback]

 

Yes, but if you're on ignore, it would be the proverbial tree falling in the woods....

[Mike Marz...say what you want....]

would be an interesting candidate for head coach....

548691[/snapback]

 

Sure, why not...Bobby April would welcome him with open arms.

[Ralph Back in the Saddle on Draft Day]

Have you ever watched the Losman draft video on BB.com?  Ralph looked pretty !@#$ing happy when we landed JP.

548680[/snapback]

 

Sure. Cause TD told him it was a genius move!

[DONAHOE FIRED?]

listening to espn radio at work and they reported that TD will be fired sometime this week and MM's job is in jeopardy. 

548614[/snapback]

 

This just in: ESPN's crack reporting team read today's Buffalo News.

[DONAHOE FIRED?]

What sucks though is that with Ralphie "getting more involved" he's not likely to give out a President's title again which is what you would most likely need to get a Ron Wolf or Scott Pioli type guy....

548605[/snapback]

 

I just think RW's tired of the "trust me, I'm a genius" approach that TD had. He's not getting back into the administrative side, he just what's to see how the management team operates so he can have a better idea of what's actually going on. Like a Chairman of the Board, rather than a CEO.

[Ralph Back in the Saddle on Draft Day]

That's great news. Now during the draft, the war room guys can all feast on Ensure and scrambled eggs through a straw along with Ralph while he waxes nostalgic about playing on the same high school team as George Halas' dad.

[Ralph Back in the Saddle on Draft Day]

You have scouts and front office people spending hundreds of hours pouring over film and workouts of the draftees. 

548518[/snapback]

 

He can add perspective, which is always valuable. If RW veto's a 160 lb slot receiver as the 55th pick in the draft, then I'm all for the change!

 

And I'm not sold on this scouting staff, which for the most part is very young and inexperienced. IMO, Modrak is the Teflon Tom of this organization, not TD.

[Ralph Back in the Saddle on Draft Day]

I don't need RW meddling in the war room on draft day. If he can't trust the staff he hires to run the football operations, then we have a problem.

548484[/snapback]

 

I didn't see RW's comment as meddling...I just think he wants to know the players the front office is targeting so he can have some input on the discussion. Ralph's a pretty knowledgeable football guy for an owner and I don't think he likes to be kept in the dark.

[Ralph Back in the Saddle on Draft Day]

It was JP.  There is noway he called JP out by name and not have it have meaning.

548472[/snapback]

 

I think it was JP as well. His pick seems to have been something of a spur of the moment "genius move" by TD and I'm sure RW was caught off guard, like the rest of us.

[With thew game on the line, WM is "TIRED"]

Is this going to be an on going problem with Willis -- or is it a problem with the strength and conditioning coach?

548453[/snapback]

 

Bingo. Here's a big problem, IMO:

 

Brad Roll

 

Read the guy's bio. He's a weightlifting guy...not one word about conditioning, nutrition, etc. which was Rusty Jones' forte. The team has repeatedly tired in the second half of games this year and many players just don't look like they have much stamina.

 

Another strike against MM for bringing this guy in at the expense of a HOF conditioning guy. Oh, the humanity.....

[Could this happen?]

He will be fired this week, team sources have told The News. The move is most likely to happen at midweek.

 

Doesn't get much more clear than that.

[Could this happen?]

The only given is that Chuck Lester stays no matter what.  He's probably walking around OBD today whistling dixie while the rest of the coaching staff are tip toeing through the office hoping to avoid RW.

548379[/snapback]

 

Bud Carpenter's accompanying him too! He was on 97Rock a few weeks back and was one of the most well-spoken, knowledgeable guys you'll ever hear. The guy's good.

[anyone see dick clark last night?]

I think it would be the same principle as making a sausage.
