So, our 4th went to Cleveland in Watkins deal. We got a 4th from SF for SJ and then traded it to Philly for Brown?

Have you forgotten the disaster Schwartz was as head coach in Detroit? He was 7-9 last year and his players were out of control. Jim Caldwell took basically the same team, with a few additions like Golden Tate and Ebron, added discipline and they made the playoffs with an 11-5 record, allowing the 3rd fewest points in the league (Bills finished 4th).

I think your answer about Moore may lie in your statement. He's small, his college performances haven't carried over to the NFL and he's not good enough to play in regular season games? Did Matt Leinhart retire?

Finishing dead last does not even guarantee anything. The NHL changed the draft process again, whereby the team with the worst record now has only a 20% chance of getting the 1st pick. And the 29th place team has a 13.5% chance. Sure the odds are still better than that of the 28th team (where Sabres stand now) of 11.5 % but they've made the odds more balanced across the lottery teams. The lottery is becoming more like the NBA, which I don't like. Since the NBA Lottery started in 1985, only 3 times has the team with the worst record won the 1st pick. To me, that's just stupid. The team with the worst record should have like a 50% chance of getting the 1st pick. Also, in 2016 the NHL will adopt another rule taken from the NBA system. Since the NHL Draft Lottery started in 1995, the team with the worst record could only drop one position. Starting in 2016, they can drop as far as 4th.

Hay, sum of uz our Kolledge gradyoueights!

The addition of Hostler as Senior Offensive Assistant and Downing as Quarterbacks coach sure didn't make an impact. The offense was worse than in 2013 and EJ Manuel regressed.

Yes, I also don't like games in London and Thursday games. I also don't like it when a call is reviewed and the network shows several replay angles with an obvious resolution and the Ref then says the opposite. It's like "What are they looking at?" I think they've gone way too far with the illegal contact penalties. What's wrong with a receiver and DB fighting for the ball? The NBA has a lot more contact under the basket.

I vote for Ron Jaworski. The guy knows his football. He'll look at hundreds of hours of film and tell them the talent was greater than the productivity. The coaches for the Offense were not getting the best out of their players. By the way, I probably missed others pointing it out, but I found it interesting that Chris Simms on the Raiders' game broadcast was singing praises for the job that Hackett was doing. What the...?? He clearly doesn't know what he's talking about, unlike his dad.

I have a feeling this will truly be a run-for-the-bus game like in 2011 (Pats won 49-21) but this Bills offense won't score much. I predict New England 41-3.

The thread police have surfaced again. Nobody forces you to freaking read it.

The game is a sellout so I'm going to pass on the long drive from the Sacramento area and the crazy Raiders fans and watch from the comfort of my man cave

What the he!! are you talking about? He sucks! Why would you want him on the Bills? Denver got tired of him and traded him to Chicago for Orton for gods sakes!

Yes, Harbaugh smacked Schwartz on the shoulder after a Niners/Lions game and Schwartz thought he hit him too hard so he chased after him. Kind of a "What's your deal?" #2 (1st was Harbaugh and Carroll after Stanford killed USC and they kind of rubbed it in with deep passes at the end and went for two pts after a late TD. Carroll said "What's your deal?" and Harbaugh responded with "What's YOUR deal?" )

Why is the fan talking to a tree?

And the highest draft pick spent on a tight end since then was a 3rd rounder on Kevin Everett, which led me to wonder if Ralph decided they would never spend a high pick on a tight end again. (Torrell Troup over Gronk?)

I agree. Why couldn't they even pay them minimum wage? I know Ralph grew up in a different time and was raised during the depression but I wonder if he knew what was going on. I don't know much about his first wife but Mary seems like a strong woman. I wouldn't think she'd put up with it if she knew. They give Mario Williams the biggest free agent contract at the time, give Fitz a ridiculous raise but won't spend the money to bring in a top coach and can't even give these girls the minimum wage for 4 hours of work? Makes little sense.

That idea of the up-tempo attack with a rookie QB was pretty assinine.

Remember that Marty Schottenheimer was fired by San Diego after a 14-2 season because of differences with management. Nothing is guaranteed. I hate seeing the merry-go--round of coaches but with a probable 8-8 finish, it's tough to keep Marrone when you look at the talent on this team. The Watkins trade could also be Whaley's undoing.

OK Baby Boomer here. What is this "IN"? Anything like "First" or +1 ?

I'm not sure about the Search functionality. I did a search on "Rambo" and it returned nothing. Then I saw the other thread.

"Tackle by Rambo!"

Staffs for Letterman, Kimmel and Fallon are probably trying to get her in.

The Schwartz-led Lions were also very undisciplined and out of control. With all of the off-the-field and on-the-field turmoil for the NFL this year, we've heard very little about Ndamukong Suh and the Jim Caldwell led team this season.

And the actor, William B. Davis, is still alive and kickin' at the age of 76. Ironically he was born in Toronto.

You young whipper snappers with your short attention spans!
