Josh Reed is in the top 3.

What has Jauron learned in 8 seasons as a HC? Play calling? Clock management? Facial expressions?

Maybe that schnoz IS his disguise.

Miami, Minnesota and Indianopolis all won TOP and lost their respective games in the playoffs. Stats can be very misleading.

Trace Armstrong (may infidels throw shoes at his children).

Immobile, one-dimensional, at-end-of-his-career, marble statue of a legitimate NFL QB. Legitimate because of his past accomplishments, perhaps. Another Favre scenario. After Buffalo, didn't he go to Dallas with Parcells and reek up Irvine?

Hands down Flutie. Under-everything except for heart, desire, motivation and the ability to do whatever it took to win. He left everything on the field. For the most part, everyone else left a dookie on the field.

Good point. How many times did Buffalo's D give up opening drive TD's? You could just about bet on that in the 2nd half of the season. What are these guys, ice cold engines that need to warm up?

Twenty bucks says several of our defensive players would play much better in a defense that was better coached. Fewell's D consistantly got torched by short slants and passes over the middle and how many times did the D give up 7-9 minute drives in the 4th quarter? How many times did Fewell even attempt to change the scheme when his defense was getting shredded? There is a very real possibility that the defense played as well as it did in spite of Fewell, not because of him.

I'll chime in here, with the six words that govern just about everything: It all comes down to money. Unless the healthcare insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies in particular (and a bunch of other companies in general and to a much lesser degree) are going to make an acceptable amount of profit, nothing is going to change because they will pull out all the guns, and they have a virtually inexhaustable amount of VERY big guns, to stop it. If any of you, or if you have had a friend or family member get caught up in a "Red Flag" from an insurance company for medical coverage, you know precisely what I am talkiing about. I have gut wrenching firsthand experience with that. It has nothing to do with healthcare, the patient, treatment, or anything other than money. When your insurance company's outlay for medical expenses reaches a certain figure, you get "Red Flagged". At that point, the insurance company in most cases, will start to make things extremely difficult for continued coverage, even though you are legally entitled to it. Insurance companies go into "Deny" mode. They deny everything and it is then up to you to attempt to fight it. They grind you up and spit you out. They outfight you, out attorney you, out wait you and out everything you. I am saying this as someone who has been through this already, with a family member. And it was not an elderly person with only a year or two left. It was my 12 year old daughter. The insurance companies started denying everything, treatment, doctors, medicines, everything, I went before their board with my own attorney. Denied. I appealed. Denied. I appealed the appeal. Denied. Red flagged and done. So before everyone gets all caught up in national VS private healthcare, step back for a minute and consider who is pulling the strings here. And what the consequences will be based on which direction the bullet goes after the trigger is pulled.

I understand. If anyone has any insights as to the actual analysis or process that Ralph and staff used to make that decision, we would all be interested to hear it. I doubt we will ever put that particular issue to bed.

With any luck, Dungy will retire and the Colts will make Ralph an offer for Jauron he can't refuse.

Initially it will. Then the critics will come out of the woodwork and second guess Pennington, Parcells, the Wildcat, Porter, Ginn Jr., Sparano, Huizenga and on and on and on. They're My Yami fans, therefore they whine.

My apologies to Mr.Squarepants....ahem.... At least I have the pleasure of watching the local My Yami team get their keesters handed to them and the ensuing media blood bath that will follow. Almost takes my mind off the Bills disappointing season and Jauron 's retention.....almost..... Thank you Ed Reed and Ravens!

What has happened to Pennington? Is the Raven's defense THAT good? Is Ed Reed THAT good? Who cares.....Fins going kaboom!!!!

Mine too. Living in My Yami, I can't wait for the local media to start the blood bath. LET THE WHINING BEGIN!!!

If the Fins lose, I will SO enjoy their evisceration at the hands of the local media. It will take my mind off the evisceration of the Bills for awhile.....

That's My Yami. I live here and have gone to many Bills-Fins games here and what you see and hear is par for the course.

That may be the biggest back-handed compliment, ever!

Amen. There will never be a day on God's green earth that I root FOR My Yami. Actually, I lived in Baltimore for a year and it was a very cool place. A lot of good memories and fine people.

I think Ralph has a lot more on the ball than most 90 year old persons too. But that in and of itself is not necessarily a glowing endorsement of his decision making abilities. Pretty much a moot point as the cards have been dealt and I don't see anything changing until the middle of the 2009 season at the earliest. And there would have to be an utter disaster to force a change even then.

....or threatening to donate the box to the "Artificial Reef Program" off South Beach.

I've always opted for the finger or threatening "Dirty Harry" style.

Nope. I live in My Yami, and while I hate the Dolphins with every molecule in my body, the way Saban lied and slunk out of My Yami was totally classless.

I'd like to see a strong armed QB that came from a cold weather background. Don't know exactly who that would be, though.
