ajzepp Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Judging from the replies to this thread, only DeeRay, 1959BillsFan...and me!!! And, if you listen to Buffalo sports talk radio, everybody else in Western New York ! 470996[/snapback] If you and DeeRay want to stroke each other over being "right", do it on your own time. As far as I can see, and as it pertains to this season, you aren't right about a damn thing. We're 2-3 and one game back of the Pats for first in our division. Mularkey is 11-10 as a first time head coach and we just beat the Fins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gross Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Sorry, I don't have a link, but something I read in the paper: "It's a real joy for me," said the Buffalo Bills' General Manager (Tom Donahoe) when asked if he can pull off what a lot of people in the NFL are good at — lying.

DeeRay Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Kip sipping the good ole Teflon koolaid boys. Keep rewarding the Teflon man for , than mediocrity and keep showing him the love. Teflon is on the clock, and the clock is counting down. Only thing to watch for now is, does Ralph go to the palace in the sky before the clock expires on Teflon. Just bringing reality folks. I realize you enjoy your fantasies. It's a dirty job, but someone has to bring the tough love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Some examples:1. Hired Greg Williams. 2. Released Doug Flutie. 3. Kept Rob Johnson. 4. Said he (Donahoe)was embarrassed to be part of the Buffalo community. 5. Poor drafting. 6. Failure to address the weaknesses of the offensive line. 7. Talent at tight-end is non-existent. 7. Hired Mike Mularkey. 8. Traded for Drew Bledsoe. 9. Missed the playoffs every year. 10. Did not allow an open competition for the starting quarterback position this year. 11. Even if the Bills win every remaining game this year, they would still be 2 games under .500 during Donahoe's tenure. 470395[/snapback] Sweet. Jerry Sullivan IS a member of our community.

After all, if Ralph thinks so highly of him, what's to say, even if he does replace TD, that he would pick someone good? It all starts at the top!

DeeRay Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 It all starts at the top! I won't dispute that because you've got a very good point and facts to back it up. But, if I remember correctly, Teflon Tom was one of the most revered GMs on the football planet about 6-9 years ago. Even today, guys like Mortensen and Pasquarelli... highly respected reporters on the football planet, think this guy is a top fiver as a GM. OK, why would someone so highly regarded as Mr. Donahoe take on a job in which he doesn't have total control or one that would compromise his ethics and track record... forget what he's being paid... probably less than a coach and certainly less than Mike Williams. Maybe Ralph just makes bad choices??? He did hit it right with both Polian and Butler though... and McGroder too. Even Stew Barber did some good things. If you look from 85 on, wouldn't you agree that Ralph did a pretty good job? Even I thought the hiring of Donahoe was a good move at the time. I started having 2nd thoughts after the start of Williams 3rd season. When he fired Williams I sided with Donahoe, but, if you believe in what you've done with player moves and your rebuilding process is on track, then why do you go out and bring in a rookie HC to beging this process all over? In doing so, he just undid three years of reconstruction. Now we're in year 2 of the 2nd rebuild. You think Ralph did this? If so, and Donahoe is half the GM he's thought to be, why doesn't he stand up to Ralph and say it is in both of our best interests to part company, "we have phylosophycal differences"? Did he do that? No. Donahoe, for the most part, has made excellent fianancial decisions. However, he's made horrible football decisions. And this team will need another re-tooling after the season. TKO may not be the TKO we know, Moulds may have had it, Clements may not be here, Milloy, Sam, and Troy are all on the wrong side of 30, and their top backup at DE (Denney) is a FA. Unless the Bills brass accounts for this and significant upgrades to offset these factors, they're going to continue to be in deep trouble. If this team misses the playoffs this season, they will need to have one hell of a draft and free agency signing period to surpass 35K season tix for next year. Ralph won't like that.

Gavin in Va Beach Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 This guy seems to only post when school is out. He's probably trying to knock down TD to bolster his self esteem which is usually low due to bullies always taking his lunch money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
