i heard he eats them all before the whole gameplan is written, that's why we are good in the 1st and sh-- in the other 3 quarters

holl crap dude, you took the post right out of my computer. adam, i was thinking you might have a clue what you were talking about, but as the above poster just showed you, all teams are on the same level as far as affording players. do you watch football at all, or just post on the fan sites?

I didn't write those options. who is running the software on this board, TD?

So who will it be? Grey and his pretend to be an nfl DC face are on (or under) a bus out of town too.

could we even get a 3rd for a tagged clements?

no way. we pass more than we can pass block. the coaches know that. obviously we don't have great players, we have near the worst o line in the nfl, but our coaches are idiots. sitting moulds? first and goal up by 20 and we pass? why? we NEVER run in the redzone. 3rd and 10 and a first down wins the game and we run a draw up the gut. did we EVER double chambers? we had a 21 point lead and scored zero points in the last 3 quarters of the game. we have been hot in the first quarter and sh-- in the next 3 all godddamn year. that is bad coaching. we have bad coaches.

the problem is we fall on d AND o to the same sh1t every damn time. a blitz in the middle against our O will ALWAYS beat us because we have 4th rate coaches who can't adjust. our D is easy to figure out, when the blitz they show it, and we never bump WRs even on the goal line. grey only knows the plays that greggggggg williams taught him. we really do have some of the worst coaches in the NFL

THAT MUST BE WHY WE ARE KICKING ASS ON THE ROAD!!! TAKE THE WHOLE BOTTLE WHEN WE ARE IN CINCY!!!

ok guys, we have lit them up a bit, but we are getting too far from the run game. same old sh!!t it seems, we really need to run some

sure, but they just don't look prepared sometimes = coaching

damn skippy

i've been a jp losman detractor for some time, and i still don't think he should have started the season, but he looks like he evans and mcgahee are the only guys on our O who come to play. aiken just flat out sucked ass on that play

wow another DT unblocked. at some point our vaunted OL coach has got to get kicked in the freaking nuts. we are really unprepared in the gut of our line, on a regular basis.

3 hook ups in a quarter?? ON THE ROAD?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!!!?!?!?!? WTF!!!?!?!? did jim and reed ever do that? cripes!!!!

i suppose i am an optimist but i really think with a few upgrades on the lines this offseason we can be a MUCH better team. losman, mcgahee and evans are a good set of tripplets and our D is 2 or 3 players away from where it was last year (when it was about the best) and we can get back there with 2 or 3 new players added.

Oh, I'd also like to add that Keynsian economics is horsesh!!t. Thanks

There is way too much party schilling mixing in with the economic discussion here. You guys seem to root for your respective parties like how I root for the Bills-- in thick and thin, right or wrong. Supply side (with along with most neoconservative policy sort of spans the spectrum from free market to socialist policy) and keynsian policies when put into practice end up being socialist spending and regulation/taxation getting put into the republican cronies (military socialism) or the democrat cronies (old american left socialism). Neither are honest applications of economic theory, just a way to excuse behaviour that fulfills political agendas. The rebublicans in power now are just dumping a ton of spending and lowering taxes which is EXACTLY what reds like keynes would have wanted (although he might be iffy on the tax cuts on the upper end of the pay scales). This is foolish and irresponsible governing and the fallout of this is monetization of the deficit (measured by true inflation: growth in the money supply). The Republicans actions (despite what some of their better memeber, like Ron Paul for example insist on) are that of a big government cold war military socialism regime. The rhetoric that most often gets thrown around by republicans is much more free market than thier actinos. The Clinton administration saw a MASSIVE credit expansion (essentially inflation of the money supply and a very wide spread amount of over investment) and most of the really hammer and sicle policy get shot down or watered down by the split houses. I don't know if you guys are all about the economics and the betterment of your nation, or about just supporting your party like a sports team, but each party acts in its own best interest and that moves them very far from their rhetoric and very close to each other. At times it is like you guys are arguing about what colour box of the exact same thing you should buy.

imo there are only 3 things that TD did or does wrong: 1 Coaches. He has been horrible in selecting coaches, this is by far his biggest problem. 2 Neglecting the lines. He needs to suck it up and put more money and picks (high picks) into our lines. with some FA guys this year i'd like to see him drop 10mill a year on C and LG in Hutch and Bently, we'd be a much better team there alone. We need the best DT in the draft as well. 3 Extending Drew. Getting drew here was a good move, we can see from 02 and now that drew can still play with the best of them. the extention they gave him was nuts, and it seemed like TD was going to go with a rook HC and a rook OC to hope to fix drew. If you drop new money on a player who is struggling you make sure you do everything to get him in the best position to win. MM and TC are clowns and came in with jack on their CVs, if he grabbed a guy loke Fassel (sp?) it would make sense to double up on drew and ride him, but this new QB, new OC and HC while extending drew shows he was not being smart about his decision. anyhow, TD is WAY above average at drafting value picks (look over his career in Pitts as mentioned above) signing and trading for FAs, and avoiding big contracts for over the hill players. if he can get our coaching and line stuff fixed this offseason (and I think he can) then I'll take TD.

i don't think we have been bad picking D linemen, or really O linemen. I think we have good value for the 2nd rounders we have pumped into the Dline (not great, but they look worse with the chumps at DT). I think our problem is just NOT spending any high picks at all on interior D linemen and only 1 in 5 years on the O line at all. I am pretty sure if TD and co really stepped up and decided to work on drafting and signing linemen we could be MUCH better right after this offseason. Let's hope I am right and they do want good lines.

isn't daunte stallworth an FA? he or wayne would look good for about 5.5-6 mill a year, our marginal cost on moulds (he has already been paid much of his current cap hit). if we cut moulds, milloy, and williams we can sign a bunch of guys and will have huge cap room in the future. a new WR could well be an upgrade, a new safety is certian to be an upgrade, and 2 or 3 new O linemen would be massive. that said, i'd like moulds at a cheaper price.

i remember when big pat and ruben talked to sam adams about coming in for us. TD did a bad job ditching rueben, we haven't found a LG since. TD did a bad job ditching pat, essentially adams was a compliemnt to Pat, so losing Pat also hurt adams ability to do what he does best, which means we just lost the middle of our line. i think sam and rueben had their problems because of the coaches, gregg was canned and MM or at least TC will be canned this year, so we hung out our best big men because of our bad coaches who we are ditching anyhow. i am a let arrival on the kill TD bandwagon, but what is said above is true, he just makes too many mistakes that together show a lack of direction.

in typical plian fashion he has never been without very good to great WRs, a GREAT RB (the worst RB he ever had as his starter was Faulk!), a solid O line and a good O coordinator. the bottom line is polian has the best QB, but he also makes sure his O has every single tool they can. they might lose edge, and they might have to lose wayne and some linemen, but he spent the cash on skill positions primarily and got value on quality big men.

tought to say how good someone is without having to consider the quality of the team around him. one thing i can say, our O as a unit is BAD. we have shown ability to run, but can't seem to run now (i think having bike mike hurt/done doesn't help). bledsoe was great for us one year under the gilbride O, was bad the next. he was just about average under MM/TC and is doing great now in dallas. Henry was great under gilbride's O, sucked under MM/TC. If you look at ST Lou, they lose all their top WRs, O linemen, go through 5 QBs (green, warner, bulger, martin, fitzpatrick), different RBs, lose their damn head coach and STILL have a great O. Same thing in denver. i think it takes a bunch of good people running the show to get the results we are looking for. the first thing we need to do is fire the coaches on the O side of the ball.

i got a 360, no freezes (yet). MS will dump money and developement into it until it is a success, the xbox was horrible to start but got much better. the ps3 LOOKS awesome from clips i have seen, but doesn't exist yet. i doubt it is going to be on time and deliver on the crazy specs that have been thrown around

i agree. fire them all
