Who is responsible for putting this team on the field? This team has Donahoe's fingerprints all over it. It’s the team he put together. And they've done nothing but lose the entire time he’s been in Buffalo. I won't hold the first year against him as he inherited a mess. The second season was solid improvement, nicely done. The last 1.5 seasons have been a cruel joke. In all my years of watching sports I’ve rarely seen such poor play from an NFL team. It can be legitimately argued that we are the worst team in football. If there is blame to be handed out that blame goes squarely on the shoulders of the man solely responsible for putting this collection of players on the field. Do the players share some of this blame? Sure they do, but would any of those players who are constantly making mistakes BE in Buffalo making those mistakes if it wasn’t for Donahoe? Talent will only get you so far, games are also won with the head. We have a bunch of million dollar talents with 10 cent heads. At some point the man at the top has to take responsibility for what transpires. How long do you give him before he is accountable? If we had won a few SBs in the past few years Donahoe would deservedly get just about all of the credit. The opposite is also true. I don’t think Donahoe should be fired right now, but if this thing doesn’t start to look up by the end of this season the man deserves to lose his job. If that isn't rational thought to you I'm not sure you understand the term.

Vendetta? Where did you pull that out of? As for those linemen "playing well"....yeah, sure they are, it's why we can't get any push in the run game (and none of those guys as dominant in the running game as Williams) and why our QB is constantly under pressure...I know its fashionable to blame everything that’s wrong with the Oline on Williams, but he's just part of the problem...those players you mentioned above are a huge problem as well. If 3/5 of our line was worth a stevestojan (like you claim) the line wouldn’t be a huge problem, but it is.

The bad should also include neglecting the entire Oline for his entire tenure with the Bills. He tried to address it with Williams, and he's not as bad as some want to make out (he is dominant in the run game) but he is certainly not worth a #4 pick. Bottom line is that from what you've posted you seem to believe that a "good" job is when the sum of the parts look good on paper, but can't win games. 1-5 in the 4th year of "rebuilding". That, my friend, is not a good job.

Unfortunately that's 6 or our starting 11 offensive players. =/...or roughly 1/4 of our starting team.

What makes you think the oline will be better next year? When is the last time this Oline was any good? Put him out there and let him get used to playing behind this Oline, because he's going to have a few years of it to come.

And if stats won games Rob Johnson would be a great QB too!

Because those players will not be able to do much behind a putrid Oline. An Oline that has been neglected for years and years.

I knew it was over after Deon took back the INTO for a TD because that meant our D had to pitch a shutout the rest of the way for us to win as there was no way in hell we'd put up more than 13 points. All we had to do to win that game yesterday was not give them the ball with turnovers. That's it. Simple. We don't turn the ball over yesterday and the Ravens O can't put more than 6 points on the board by themsevles. I don't expect this O to put up huge numbers and be a scoring machine, but the least they can do for this team is not cost us the game with turnovers.

Show me a positive to focus on in a 1-5 season and I'll do my best (and don't even mention the defense, they are responsible for 2 of the 5 losses). As for idiots, I say it takes a bigger one to not see negatives in a 1-5 season than it does to find them. I guess I should just walk around with a smile on my face that the Bills have sucked for the past 5 years and are arguably the worst team in football right now. But yeah, good job TD! I thought TD was a hell of a GM before he came to Buffalo and up until this season I was giving him lots of slack and still had faith. But at some point he has to put up results, just like Bledsoe there is always some excuse for TD. You can’t run away from 1-5 in the fourth year of TD being GM.

If we had played them in Miami I'm guessing the result would have been different.

The really hilarious part is that TD has a built in excuse for next year too. Does anybody expect to not hear the following at some point next year: "We feel we have a young team that is going to continue to develop and continue to grow under the leadership of J.P. Losman and we feel the fans should be patient, not just with the team but with esentially a rookie QB, who we feel has all the right ingredients to be successful in this league." I'm sure he'll come up with some excuse for the 2006 season too, just give him time.

Let's say JP didn't get hurt in the pre-season and he was named the starter for this season...at this point, how much worse could our season be? Answer: we could be one game behind where we are now, but our QB of the future would be getting reps. I don't even want to hear the "shake his confidence" arguement, JP is going to have to play behind a stevestojan line his entire career (seriously, does anybody think any differently?), he had better get used to it.

Yeah, because Drew has looked so good against every other D the past 2 years...

Actually, we've only scored 2 offensive touchdowns once this season, against the Jets. There was a kick return for a TD against the Pats and a defensive TD against the Phins.

A 14 point lead maybe...but we all have seen them play with a small lead late in the 4th quarter and it wasn't pretty. Not saying they're not a good unit, they're just not a good enough unit to play this low scoring, run oriented scheme we're playing because they can't keep the lead late in the 4th. Today, however, in the second half, they were as dominant as I've ever seen them. It was a thing of beauty.

I'm fairly certain I saw Mularky looking at a sheet with offensive plays on it during the game today. He might already be helping out with the play calling.

Willis wasn't the one who knocked it into the air (though not because he didn't try to touch it)...the Ravens defender behind him is the guy who knocked it in the air which Deon to came down with.

With another TD & 2pt conversion + FG we'd be tied. I think it was the right call. Our O had been terrible all day, put some points up on the board when you get a chance. If we went for it and didn't score the game would have been over right there.

The main problem with Travis is he lacks vision. He runs right where the play is supposed to go, and if that hole isn't there he just bowls right into the mass of humanity and hopes for the best. Willis will get to the hole, see that there's nothing there, and bounce it inside or outside and pick up a few yards. The Oline isn't doing the job, but like you said, one RB makes 'em look better than the other.

Try watching the replays when you get a chance. The first INT didn't hit WM's hands from what I can tell, and if it did it just barely grazed his finger tips. The ball was so overthrown that it was over the head of the Ravens player behind Willis who tipped the ball up into the air that Deon intercepted. The INT in the endzone didn't go off Evan's hands either. The ball was thrown behind Evans and R. Lewis stuck his paw in there and knocked the ball up, then it was intercepted. Had the ball been throw in front of Evans it would have been a TD. This ball wasn't as badly thrown as the Moulds miss, but when a player is in tight coverage the QB has to stick the ball in there, it can not be behind the WR as this gives the defensive player a chance to make a play on the ball...just like Ray Lewis did. The throw into double coverage was just horrible. The Moulds tipped INT was obviously Moulds' fault. That's 1 INT that wasn't Bledsoe's fault...and that INT had pretty much no consequence to the outcome of the game...unlike the other 3.

This is simply incorrect.

Hell, I'd have been happy bringing in ANY QB that could have been a viable backup or starter for a few games...but we got Brown and after he went down there was nobody left to choose from.

I'd say Boller is hands down the worst I've seen this year...well, except for his first half against us.

Why are you not ripping the other 9 guys on the O who didn't even try as much as Willis? I'm not giving him a free pass, he should have kept running...but at the same time he did a better job than 9 other guys on that O.

Yeah, I noticed he stopped running though I think he was out of gas. My question is why, after 80 yards, there were only 2 Bills on my TV screen? Where was our speedster Evans, who was right next to the DB who caught the ball? I'll not rip into WM for being one of the few Bills who actually made an effort to make a tackle.
