peanuts Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 The day the Bills fired Bill Polian the best G.M. in the league. Anyone else agree!

BuffaloBob Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 The Flute Man would've left the field with an insurmountable lead! Yeah, his average of about 13 offensive points per start would have really buried the Titans, for sure.
BuffaloBob Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 The day the Bills fired Bill Polian the best G.M. in the league. Anyone else agree! Agreed. The Bills had no choice but to let those guys go when they did. We were so far over the cap, it was ridiculous. Somehow, I think BP would have managed that situation so much better than it was.
Just Jack Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 I disagree. Butler's (mis-)handling of this, as well as the RJ/DF situation, I believe led to his decision to leave the team. In the process he totally tanked the 2000 draft, knowing he was out of here. Then the dominoes started falling - Donahoe's arrival shortly followed by Gregg Williams, etc etc etc. I remember watching the Paul Maquire show on Empire one day, John Butler was on, and Steve Christie made an appearance also. Paul mentions to John that Steve's contract was up that year, and then said something about money. Steve is laughing, putting his arm around John, and John had this shocked expression on his face, that you could tell his brain was saying "oh crap".
Jerry Jabber Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Actually, Reed was completely in bounds- Don Beebe was out of bounds They both stunk, that's why we kept changing QBs. The whole debate was ludicrous. I take Van Pelt over either If it's not broke, don't fix it. The Bills were 10-5 with Flutie that season. Just ask the 2000 Ravens led by Trent Dilfer, look what happened the next season, they brought in a supposedly better QB and failed!!! Just ask the Miami Dolphins- That fumble defined his career and the lives of his fans- all losers That's right, Flutie is the only QB in the league to fumble a ball when a D-linemen tee's off and drills him in the armpit area while attempting to throw (sarcasm). Blaming Flutie for that game is just like another thread on this forum saying it was stupid to fire Jauron. The blame on the dolphins game needs to be shared between Moulds & Reed, their actions cost us 11 points.
