Ah, another Ralph is cheap post. If you think that the coaches are underpaid, prove it. What is this some unproven rumor? Do you think TD is underpaid? If you are going to complain about the OC, remember Clements wasn't the first choice. So blame MM and TD for picking him. The change in QB's isn't really that unpredicatable. What is the purpose of TD and MM? To win!! And my particular take is always, winning puts fans in the standium, which secures the GM's job. So they don't think JP starting is giving them the best chance to win. Well, probably more than 80% of the fans don't think so either at this point. They were shooting craps when they made JP the starter in came up with snake-eyes. Maybe in time he will be ok, but not now. So the my last word on Ralph is this. He's old, he doesn't have much time left. I am sure he would spend the money to get him his championship. But as the NY Rangers have proven over the last 5 years. It is one thing to spend money,it's another thing to spend it wisely.

Where did I get the idea that Wade's teams quit, where else, TBD. That was one of the major topics here his last year. And unfortunately, it culminated with his words about winning in the last games that year. I can't remember them exactly so I won't even attempt to repeat them, but I know I should not be the only one here that remembers them. On top of that, I remember reading that in GW's first year, there were comments like "well at least his teams play hard." Maybe none of the responders to my original post had that mind set but believe me, that topic was second only to Wade not wearing a headset.

that I read earlier below somewhere is interesting. The one thing I seem to remember about Wade's teams were they seemed to quit. About the only thing good I can remember about GW teams is that they never quit. Why mention this? This team is looking like one of Wade's teams.

The Bills should hire you as a consultant.

Remember just last week when posters were complaining about JP's second sneak. When you have McGahee use him, yada yada yada. This defense can't make a stop when they have to. What do you think the opposition is going to do when they have the ball and the lead at the end of the game. You know its coming and they still can't stop it. This was the same as they were all last year. A playoff team should be able to stop this at least once in a while.

If he completed a few of them, he might get to throw a little more.

I'm not sure what period your referencing but I was thinking the 68 to 71 teams. This team surely will never compare to them,TG.

If they lose the next 5, they won't even be the worst team in Bills History!! A few here have lived through it. It really isn't that bad yet.

as Michigan can't win without him. Mike's day

So who is a stud? Nice post BTW.

He was still overpaid!!!

In the old days when they tried for the corner, how often did the punter kick it off the side of his foot for a 20 to 25 yard kick. Too often. I believe they are just playing the odds now and avoiding that kind of result. Also, when he tries to kick for the corner, he changes his motion. Think of it like a golf shot. Same = good, different usually = bad.

And for whom does the bell toll. It tolls for thee. And according to this board that means JP,TD,WM,MM,MW,LM, EM, etc, etc.

You were saying Flutie??

If you go to the game, its about putting asses in the seats.

and if they did, what happened?

Don't worry, soon the Bills will be loaded with 1st round talent.

The Pretenders

Average!!! They expected him to be BETTER than Rothensburger (sp?).

What is the difference in this and Ralph giving away a couple thousand tickets and the game then being televised. I don't see one.

With the Bill playing the Falcons at home, that means they are on ABC, and with CNY being Giant country, the Bills would have lost out on TV coverage if there was a conflict.

Holcomb's three passes last week. If he didn't look different in preseason I would be really worried about it. Especially with JP's penchant for head first dives.

It is rather interesting to see what others see and in fact what you see yourself when you go back and look at a play. I had looked at the endzone view so many times, I had forgotten there was a side view. From the side view it becomes apparent that McGahee would see two blitzers coming at him and would in fact have to make a quick decision on who to take. He was in fact between the closest blitzer and the QB. Also note that the blitzer had to rush to the inside to avoid WM as if he cut the other way, he would be slowing down and be in the way of the guy behind him. Also from the side view, it is when JP sees the 2nd blitzer that he pulls down the ball and begins to run. It is this second guy who makes the play work. I believe even if WM flattened his guy, the play outcome would have been the same. This was one very well designed and executed play. At the snap the entire defensive line moves to their right, the offensive lines left. This moves the OL to their left, which opens up the area for the blitzers to run into.

Thank God it was a night game. With the magnifying glass Bledsoe is under he would probably burn up if the sun was out.

I am absolutely amazed at what some people can see on a television. You must have a new version that allows you to see through a helmet and a skull.
