He was ALL OVER Big Sam! Sam had limited response, but NOBODY was answering him much, other than Bannon, who was smiling when he spoke.
Truthfully, I didn't know who he was. I asked somebody who is there every week, and he told me it was TK.
I am not qualified to say whether or not he is a good coach. My guess is that he is. Taht said, my life experience DOES qualify me to judge whether or not someone is a serious mf or not.
TK is no friggin joke.

Yes. Look at my thread about TK. The guy is friggin unbelieveable.
Also, Milloy is pure cool. Spikes gets fired up every now and then and shouts at players. Fletcher is playing as hard as anybody I have ever seen, except perhaps Speilman. He is smart, mean, and this football team needs him.
I was behind the defensive bench, and couldn't see nor hear much of what the offense was doing.
-
He is one of the funniest football people I have ever seen. He is Carl Mauck without the spitting and the obscenities.
He was directly in front of me the entire game. Want to talk about a "High Motor White Guy?" He NEVER stops. He was wearing a short sleeve shirt in the elements. He was shouting at not only the Def Linemen ( He IS after all the DL asst. coach), but at the lbs and especially the defensive backs for the entire game!
I was watching, and the DBs never disrespected him. They did not look at each other in disbelief (as I expected), nor did they answer. He yelled "No Drops" to them at least 25 times. He runs the sidelines like a wild man. He is a freakin monster, and could probably kick the ass of half of the team, and I am not joking!
Gray is a normal person. He was in charge of the Defense, and TK showed no disrespect. That said, he was non-stop. I cant even describe just how intense this man is, except to say that if I was in trouble, he is a guy that I would want to watch my back. He was Mike Ditka on speed, with dignity.
TK is no friggin joke.

Our seats were in row 1 at the 36 yard line, behind the Bills bench. I saw almost none of the game except through the monitors. This, a nasty cold and the weather did little to enhance my view of the game, but here is what I have to say:
1) It was friggin great to see everybody from and to FINALLY meet R.Rich. The man knows football!
2) MaGee can fly. He passed by us in the blink of an eye. I have blasted TD ad-nauseum about his drafts. This was one he!! of a pick. Seriously.
3) Forget the stats. Big Sam came close to utter domination.
4) Drew is a professional and a good guy. He came over to thank Clements for his punt returns.
5) Schobel and Kelsay also didn't produce numbers, but they played well.
6) London Fletcher is everywhere.
7) No more debate. Willis is it.
8) Ron Edwards is a football player. Btw, he looks to weigh at least 285. I would guess more, but he can move. He MUST be re-signed, and is a bright spot on this team.
I was unable to focus on the OL as I normally do. From what I saw, Jennings played well. Could someone who could see please fill me in on how they did?
Thanks.
-
Get younger perhaps, but I recall that they had cap problems. Dont know if this is still the case, but I hope so.
Hopkins can flat out play! Let the Titans have Jennings!
-
Yeah, the Bills will win this week.
Emmitt will go NOWHERE against London, TKO and co. This will force the young qb to pass. Schobel will kick his ass, as will Edwards. I think that Kelsay gets a sack as well.
On offense, Willis will score 2 td, and Drew will throw for 2 more.
This game, a total victory is going to send TSW into a state of chaos.
Lay the points.

Did a little searching for potential free agent LT tackles and found some names: Tra Thomas 29 years old, Brad Hopkins 33 years old, LJ Shelton 28 years old( back up to Leanard Davis), and of course the other super LT's who are either francised or in final year of contract( Ogden, Pace, Jones, blah, blah, blah). Anyone know if Shelton can play? I know there are 10 games left but this will be the top priority no matter what happens anyways. Who do you guys think we should make a play for? I hear Philly is not totally happy with Thomas but they have way more money if they want to keep him. We have to do something to get some proven talent on the line. Discuss..............
I would take a close look at Hopkins. No, he is not a youngster, so no need to go long term. I once watched him beat up Schobel so bad in a pre season game, that I was worried about AS. (Things might be different now).
I was never overly impressed with George nor even McNair, and I suspect that Hopkins might be an unsung hero of this team.
Very interesting, and thanks for the info.

In the last 2 years we have drafted MaGahee, Evans and Losman. By the end of the year, all will be starting. So we got an extra blue chip player a year early. For that, we basically gave up a 5th round pick in 2004. BFD.
Now people are worried Dallas may get a top 5 pick in the 2005 Draft with our pick. That pick could BOMB and will certainly cost a cap ransom, for a completely UNPROVEN player. Does the name Mike Williams ring a bell ?
I'd rather go get someone in March Free Agency, a PROVEN NFL player, than gamble on some college player.
Whatever. Blather on with inane jealousy of a supposed top 5 pick that will crush the cap and is completely UNPROVEN. Meanwhile the Bills drafted a RB,WR and QB who are here, on the roster and will all be STARTING by the conclusion of this year.
That #1 pick crap is sooooooo played. I'm not impressed unless you can show me MaGahee, Evans and Losman are complete busts with no hope. You can't.
Meanwhile , the Bills will use the $$ to sign a proven NFL Vet in March. I'm AWARE we need help in other areas, such as OL. Drew Bledsoe's salary will help pay that .
TD's major BLUNDER was BLEDSOE ! B-L-E-D-S-O-E . Drew Bledsoe. That was the mistake which has set this team back 1-2 years. Drafting MaGahee, Evans and Losman turned out to be pretty smart.
I wish I could understand this. Explain it to me on Sunday, please.
First, you list Williams as a bust (which he is), and then state that Bledsoe was his biggest mistake? Remember, Drew cost a 16th pick one year after the fact. He was NOT a 36 million dollar #4.
As for the "trade," yes, there certainly top 5 busts. Also to be considered are Ogden, Pace, Bruce Smith, LT, etc, no? Not only that, there are trade downs! The jackass jests used two traded down picks for Abraham and Ellis as I recall.
Sorry, getting a #27 is not enough for a 5th, 2nd and a top 5 pick. It would be laughable if not so sad for the Bills.
Hindsight perhaps, but TD is getting paid to lead this franchise, not destroy it.

We were in the field in Germany one time and played a little sand lot football game during some down time. One of my guys got a good lick in. I literally had to have my driver tie my boots in the AM, since I couldn't bend that far. I couldn't imagine playing pro football in that condition.
Hang onto your hat BiB but I will even give Henry respect that he is a tough guy.
He is also obviously a good runner when he build up a head of steam. When he gets some momentum, it must hurt to tackle him.
Surprised?
Problem is, there is more to being an NFL RB.
-
Yes, I must say that over the past 4 years, TD has done an excellent job each offseason of doing the bare minimum to cover his own ass and save himself from getting fired. He does just enough to give fans hope, but his efforts for some reason never materialize into wins.
TD, a master of public relations.
TD, not a master of football management.
Hey KH, do you and I agree on something?
Fletcher and Spikes were great moves. I think that Lawyer was a good picup too, and I like Vincent quite a bit. Sorry, but I think that Bledsoe was the right move at the time. It was also truly nice to watch TD cut the dead wood.
Other than that, imo, he has been a disaster. I dont believe that you can do THIS bad on draft day and be a successful GM.
It started with Mike Williams. Teams simply cannot afford a 36 million dollar sad sack. Not with the salary cap. From there, it got worse with other picks, coaches, etc.
Again, in my opinion, he should have taken JP in the 1st round if he thought/thinks he is that good.
Listen, I like Evans. We truly did need another receiver. Moulds is aging and counts more than 8 million toward the cap next year. That is not a doable figure. I understand that, but I believe that great offensive linemen are harder to get than receivers. Not only that, an OL, by virtue of providing time for the qb, can make receivers look a whole lot better.
In any event, we are now sitting with no #1, and it appears to be a top 5 pick. We could have made a play for Alex Baron, or traded down for a ton of picks.
TD truly struck out, but again, this is merely my opinion.

Bill what will you do when McGahee starts and we lose? You will have no whipping boy to put in your EVERY post? Oh wait, McGahee had the lion's share of the carries last week and we DID lose. And he helped with giving the raven's seven points. Good god, you are worse than Spikedlemonade.
Hey man, since 4 PM on sunday, almost every post has been that "Bledsoe Sucks." This is OK, right? What makes Henry, or any other player above criticism? Has he played well?
Guess what? Drew has played better this season than Travis Henry. That's right, better than Henry. At least once or twice, on however rare occasion, he was able to make a play without falling on his dumb ass, missing assignments, and going in the wrong direction. Can you say the same for your football icon, Travis Henry?
-
-
I preface this response with the belief that Drew is probably done because he has taken too many hits.
That said, imo he did make some valid points. Power running? Smashmouth? Sure, our OL is up to THAT task!
Also, the "mental mistakes" comment was fully valid. Let Henry miss a few more assingments, let Williams usher a few DEs to JP, and in a few years, he too will be shot.
Sure, JP is more mobile and that is great, but ANY qb needs some time in the pocket. Aside from the ravens, I dont think that Drew, under the circumstances was THAT bad, but again, a change is fine with me.
Bottom Line? The Bills will suck until they can block.
-
Campy, the truth is that Travis played as big a role as any one player in most of the Bills losses (and I will hand the Ravens loss to Drew).
Exactly what has he done to deserve any praise this season?
-
I agree with most of your posting, but am (for whatever reason) more optimistic.
Second WRs should not be so hard to find. Much depends on what they do with Moulds and his cap hit next year anyway.
Kelsay will probably continue to develop. Denney will not, imo.
Safeties are usually available in later rounds and cost little.
JP is the future (or so we hope).
Willis will get better and a backup should be easy to get.
The OL is the problem. We need at least one free agent, a couple of draft picks, and to re-sign Price, who is an example of a guy who seemed to learn from McNally. If he can, so can rookies. I hold little to no hope for Williams unless he gets his head on straight, a dubious proposition.
In all, I dont think we are THAT far away, unless TD continues to ruin the team.

Ding Ding Ding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have a WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Travis Gump owes his stats to Gilbride!!! There was no point in defending the run. All teams had to do was blitz against our suckass OL. Now, couple this with the fact that KG's plays took an hour to form, and we have what? That's right, an unattended RB.
While this was going on, Travis Gump managed to cough up the football time and again. Now, he seems to have curbed this habit and merely falls on his stupid ass. He runs wrong patterns and wont block. He drops passes, he flat out sucks. Now, throw in a missed team flight (a Miami game), and sex with a 15 year old.
I am amazed every time any poster says any good thing about this dunce.
Frankly, I see no debate. TravisGump sucks. TD could have had a good draft pick by trading this slime to a team in need of a RB. Now, he will be lucky to get a 4th round pick for Gump. He might even be cut outright.
As much disdain as I have for Gump the dumbass, I have more for TD. He brought us this mess, and I am telling you, it will take a true professional a few years to clean it up.
Great Post!
-
If he wants MaGahee to start, then tell Travis to his face and move on. What if the Bills are 1-8 or 2-7 come the Rams game and the fans are beside themselves. Is he really going to be concerned about Bledsoes' feelings if Losman is ready to go ? Get real.
Hey Mike, you can't play both sides of the fence. When the inmates run the asylum, you lose ! Where's our future ? It's with Willis and J.P.
NUT UP, COACH !
Mark, sadly, I cite this as an example of TD hiring another rank amateur ala GW. He is doing this to save his job because Cowher outclassed him in Pittsburgh.
Do you disagree?
PS: This is not to say that MM cannot develop into a good coach someday.

In his interview of Tom Donahoe today, Howard Simon asked TD if "you guys" (or something like that - it was a plural you) feel that Drew gives the team the best chance to win right now. (Simon had been talking about the possibility of putting Graham in the game if Drew was struggling.)
TD said something like, "That's what Mike has said publicly and that's obviously the way he feels right now." Never once said that he/the administration felt Drew was the best option. He usually is a big "we" guy when speaking. But several times in the Drew conversation he referred simply to Mike.
(Note: he didn't seem to be questioning MM per se, and he obviously felt comfortable with the fact that it was MM's decision. In fact, he gave MM a strong show of support at the end of the interview, saying that there were several positives about the team right now and that the biggest was that we had "the right head coach.")
Still, he wasn't exactly jumping out of his boots to deny the possibility that even Graham, let alone Losman, might be seen as an option at some point.
Whatever.
Somebody should ask Drew whether or not TD is a do$^hebag for drafting MW in lieu of McKinnie, and trading up for Denney. While we are there, ask him if Josh Reed was worth a #2.
Drew may very well be shot, but he is the victim of TD being a sub-par GM. TD is killing us before our very eyes. Where is the outrage?

I am not saying that he could not be a great DC. What I do believe is that he would have to calm down to do so.
He is all over the place and just as funny as he!!.
