In a nutshell, this team can best be described as "soft" ( kind of a nicer way of stating it).

 

Defensively, you have basically 3 players with any semblance of fire in their respective bellies (TKO, Milloy, and Fletch). The rest of the defense seems to have to feed off their passion to get any decent production.

 

Offensively, this team is a collection of sissies. Has anyone seen any evidence of physicality, smashmouth attitude, leadership on this side of the ball? We've got a supposed best back in the league, physical runner, who prefers to do the charleston rather deliver the the wood as of late. Lee Evans is, or has become, such a kitty on running plays and prefers to hold onto an opponent (probably to protect himself from further contact) rather than to plant a defender like a good blocking wr should. Then we have an offensive line that shows absolutely no fire or angst. When was the last time you saw an offensive lineman in a fight with a defender, take it personal when their QB got mauled, or came off the field spewing venom? Not since Ross Tucker and Ruben Brown were here.... oops, players that were perhaps a little more outspoken than the lemmings TD and MM prefer to employ.

 

But, ultimately, the "softness" is a result of a GM and coach that don't demonstrate toughness, passion, pride, or moxie. This team is not reflective of leadership that oozes confidence or passion and pride in the work they do. Simply put, this team has no spine!!! Perhaps this team needs to be outfitted again with new uniforms, complete with pleated skirts. When are we gonna see some real football, guys????

Talk about a soft sissy. You don't even have the gonads to admit the real problem: Ralph Wilson. It's always the GM with you, never the real source of the problem.

 

Well, I gotta head off to the record store to buy a new 45 of DeeRay's greatest hits because my current record keeps skipping and all I hear is the same single note being played over and over and over.

...and so this is different than your previous 1600 posts how? That you've actually started a new topic to do so? That you've apologized (I'm guessing for saying the same thing in yet another way for the umpteenth time) for it up front?

Don't be bitter Dan, and the rest of you guys, too. You know you wanted to say what I said,,, just didn't have the guts to. Probably afraid that all of the other posters were gonna beat up on you. Pity. I realize that after overdosing on the koolaid and covering your eyes with pink sunglasses it's just tough to admit that this is a really bad team that we've been supporting. One that just goes through the motions... no passion, no sense of pride. I don't expect you guys to stop licking TD's shoes, I don't expect you not to purchase the new Bills pleated skirts when TD unveils them in the offseason, and I don't expect calling the team out is going to stir up a fire in their bellies, or give the team a spine anytime soon. But calling a spade a spade sure makes me feel better... even if you take offense. Perhaps you should consider directing your anger toward the team, the root of the evil, rather than me.... For all I bring to the table is truth and tough love.

It doesn't take guts to blame the wrong person for your problems.

 

If you had any guts yourself you'd call out the real problem: Ralph Wilson. But you have none. You blame the GM. Blame the coach. Blame the players. But never, ever blame Ralph Wilson. Gutless kitty you are.

 

As it stands, you simply have no nuts, no guts, no solutions, nothing new to say and barely a new way to even say it.

That "it's Ralph Wilson's fault" line is a load of crap ........ he's the owner ..... his responsibility is to sign the checks ...... that's it, nothing more. I haven't heard of any of those checks bouncing lately, so he's doing his job just fine.

 

It's his responsibility to hire and fire his "football people" you may say ...... and that is correct ....... however, what good would it do to fire TD right now? For all we know Ralph may have already made up his mind to can TD at the end of the season ..... maybe ... maybe not ... but the bottom line is that it is HIS team .... as much as we would like to think that the Bills belong to us fans, they don't, they belong to Ralph, because he signs those aforementioned checks. He has never been an over meddlesome owner .... he's had his moments for sure .... but never along the lines of a snyder or Jones ...... but then again when the team is playing with your money you have a right to meddle every once in a while.

 

I guess what I'm trying to say is he has hired men to run his football .... and when he decides that those men are running HIS team into the ground he will fire them.

I don't think it's even possible to mount a decent argument against this statement.

 

What else do you say about a team that regularly fizzles in the second half (especially the 4th quarter) and that cannot win a single game on the road?

 

SOFT!

Nobody's disputing it. That fact has been laid out here several times per day since Week 2 in Tampa.

Squeezably soft? Dairy Queen soft?

So we should stop saying it? Silence is acquiescence, my friend. Soft, soft acquiescence.
