On the other hand, a guy who isn't doing a good job shouldn't be retained in that job simply because you don't want to make a move - that'll burn you as well. I'd love a QB upgrade, but I'm wondering where that comes from - the draft? Free agency? the draft isn't sttong and even if we get someone can he really contribute and be an upgrade as soon as next year? That's a lot of ifs. I'm also not sure there's going to be much availabe in free agency. Despite my first sentence about keeping a bad person in a job because you don't want to make a change that may be Buffalo's only option for the QB position next year.

You're crazy if you think Buffalo is as attractive a coaching/playing gig as other NFL cities. There are a lot of factors - small market, weather, etc. but you have to factor in that there doesn't seem to be any real commitment to putting a championship team on the field. It's not that Ralph is cheap - he does spend money (although usually not on coaches) - it's that somehow this organization puts up with lack of results unlike othetr teams. How many other teams tolerate what the Bills tolerate - the medicore coaching, the constant sub .500 records, the frequest misses in talent evaluation - maybe Cleveland and Jacksonville, but those aren't exactly hot destinations for top coaching and player talent, either. Buffalo may be an attractive option of you want to break into the ranks and you don't have other options (we got Gregg Williams and Mike Mularkey this way but not Jim Harbaugh) or you're looking for another chance (Jauron, Gailey) but by and large if you have other options you don't end up in Buffalo (Mario Williams being an obvious exception to that).

Pretty girls that look like they defy the sterotypes of being shallow and superficial - looks like they are quality people - good for them!

I'm most disheartened by the fact that Chan has 2 more years on his contract which will make it all the harder for him to be replaced - the Bills hate eating contracts they never should have created in the first place. I would not be totally stunned to see Chan next year - I'd be pissed, but not surprised.

An Edifying Discourse: The Case for Losing
The Avenger replied to Juror#8's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
But if we started losing games we'd break the near-constant cycle of 6 or 7 win seasons getting us a draft pick in the 10-15 range - where's the fun in that? The Buffalo Bills - consistent for the past 13 years... -

Over / Under Houston Rushing Yards Sunday
The Avenger replied to Bronc24's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think we all know Marios weaknesses by now: -Signing a huge contract -Having no fire to play -Being handled by rookie and no-name offensive linemen in single coverage -Making up excuses fro lack for production -
Agreed - it wasn't in your face, but there is definitely something up with the tea - I noticed Michonne did not drink it.

i agree. This whole thing is off to a horrendous start. Mario plays poorly and fans with high expectations call him on it (as they should when you're the star making astronomical money). Mario doesn't seem to have the personaity to deal with the very well, so his response seems to be to withdraw and try and play the victim - in doing so he says dumb things like he doesn't listen to what's being said about him and he doesn't care what other people think - that gets fans even more ticked off. It's hard to shift the downward slide of this thing. What really needs to happen is some sort of restart and some sizable production - then the criticism starts to silence and a guy who doesn't deal well with it doesn't have to deal with it. If the wrist surgery provides that opportunity that's great. Unfortunately, it does look like an excuse at this point. If Mario goes off, has the surgery, comes back thinking he's go a clean slate and still doesn't produce it'll be even worse than before. A lot riding on that surgery.

I don't see any way there can be any real discussions about future stadium plans - a new stadium of major renovations to the existing stadium - until there is a clear picture about future ownership - I think that is holding the Bills organization back on so many levels. If there was a real agreement to build a new stadium there would also need to be an agreement that the Bills stay in WNY, and that severely limits the ability of Ralph Wilson or his heirs to sell the team and maximize their interests - WNY does not have abundance of eligible billionaires like some other major metropolitan areas do.

Butter Defense - Opponents go through it like a hot knife - Also, as in a "butterface" - everything looks great from a certain angle (on paper), but the reality is much different -

Could the Raiders Get Jairus Byrd from Bills?
The Avenger replied to ALF's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Cool - I'm all for it - I bet they'd give us Jamarcus Russel for Byrd - THEN we'd have the first round QB we'v all been waiting for. Oh, wait.... -
