Oh the humanity!

I would also add to the list: 8) Good NFL Coaches Put The Ball In The Hands Of Their Playmakers When It Counts How many times this season did we see critical plays come down to the likes of Daimon Shelton, Shaud Williams, Roscoe Parrish? Guys that are either unproven or not even starters? How many times do we have to see the coaches ignore MacGahee when he's in the game, or take him out on all-important 3rd downs? Does LaDanian Tomlinson come out on 3rd downs? Does Edgerrin James?

Nice post, can't really argue with any of it. It reminds me of when the Bears hired Lovie Smith. The Bears were not a very good team and everybody knew it. But he laid down their initial goal, and that was to beat Green Bay at all costs. That would be their Super Bowl, and their #1 goal. I'd like to see someone come in here and say the same thing. Our #1 goal should be to beat New England at all costs. Our #2 goal should be to beat Miami and the Jets. Everybody on the team should be focused on that.

Losing Pat Williams had an effect on our run defense.

As much as I and everybody else would like to believe, Nate will still get ridiculous amounts of money to play somewhere else. He has certainly shown that he is completely overrated, but that sure doesn't matter in the world of free agency these days.

You really hit the nail on the head there. Gray didn't have Gregggg or Dicky telling him what to do, and teams figured him out pretty quickly. Gray had no answers. I'm hoping to see at least new O and D coordinators.

The question is, would TD even want to stay in those circumstances? Just as President, with no hand in the football operations? Maybe if we're lucky, TD will stay on as President only and Ralph will make MM both head coach and GM! Wouldn't that be great?

I hate the thought of starting over completely, yet again. But if this team ain't a blueprint on how NOT to build and coach a football team, I seriously don't know what is. I haven't felt so sour on a Bills team, from top to bottom, in many many years.

Go Utes!

I think perhaps more obvious is whether those guys will be available on the open market.

Keep an open mind? I live in Utah, for crying out loud.

I think this thread is an insult to the word 'talent'.

The only thing that would be a 'bust' in that scenario would be my TV set upon hearing the pick.

Perhaps if you kept an open mind about this...

Damn you, are you just trying to soften the blow when we pick another GD wide receiver?

Bingo. And thanks, Simon! I didn't know what you were referring to...not "who" you were referring to. I just had no idea why someone would all of a sudden want to post something about bringing Dwight Adams back, out of the blue, with no explanation why.

And I guess some people just can't accept that they don't always make as much sense to others as they do to themselves. But I guess that follows, since you're already assuming things that are neither true nor ever said. Regardless, thanks for the info.

So now being a season ticket holder since 1975 makes me a "newbie"? Maybe I just don't know what you're talking about.

Thanks everyone!

Not for those of us that don't know what you're talking about...

For those of us who didn't get to see the game...what happened?

That's definitely an improvement over 2 yard passes on 4th and 8.

You saw him?

"Our people believe that they are better than their record."

I just listened to the audio on BB.com. Damn, he really did say that. Mike = Hank
