The Bills have been rumored to be bringing in Mike Shananhan, Bill Cowher, Marv Levy, and a host of others, it leads them to Chan Gailey, former Dallas Cowboys coach and Georgia Tech Head Football Coach. Whaaaaaaaaaaat?
I feel bad for the Bills fan base because they are just getting tortured with horrible coaching decisions in the past decade. Dick Jauron when brought in to Buffalo already had been a bad coach with the Chicago Bears, yet got another job with the Bills. Gailey who hasn't been a head coach in the NFL in over a decade is a real puzzling decision by Owner Ralph Wilson and his associates.
I personally would have brought in Leslie Frazier from the Minnesota Vikings. The guy seems like he gets it, and is ready to be an NFL coach in the NFL. I truely believe he might be just as compentent as Brad Childress right now. If I needed a Head Coach that would be one of my first choices.
But on the other hand, Buffalo looks like a franchise that is going nowhere fast. Sure they have a great fan base comparable to the Green Bay Packers of the AFC, but they are like the Pack was before they got Favre maybe worse. The Bills haven't sniffed the playoffs in a decade plus they have no star to look forward to in the coming years. I mean Terrell Owens will retire soon, Marshawn Lynch is a head case, Ryan Fitzpatrick/Trent Edwards aren't NFL quarterbacks, and maybe Fred Jackson is your only star going forward.
If I were Buffalo, I would draft Jimmy Clausen or make moves to get Clausen. I think he is going to a good NFL quarterback and they need to start somewhere. That would be a way to build on the future and maybe the Jackson-Clausen combination leads them into the future. If not, they will be continuing their decade-long futility.

Thursday Night Picks
Since I am do not have a computer right now, thanks to the wonderful craftsmanship of HP I will be unable to all my picks in today. So I am going to give my picks for both of the games tonight in NFL and College Football.
NFL: NY Jets (5-6) at Buffalo (4-7)- I completely agree with Tony Kornheiser that it doesn't make sense that these teams play in Toronto when they are both from New York. This is a big time rivalry and it's being played north of the border. Supposedly, TO ran his mouth about the Jets and its obvious that he hasn't met Darrelle Revis. I think this game will be an utter snoozer for multiple reasons, just the sole fact its the Jets-Bills. I do not trust the Sanchise in cold weather and the Bills figured out how to frustrate him, which proved to be the blueprint for other teams as well. Although I think Fred Jackson and the Harvard man get it done tonight. BUFF 16-10
CFB: #16 Oregon State at #7 Oregon- The Civil War hasn't meant this much in long time. A trip to go to the Rose Bowl, the Beavers first trip since 1964. The one thing I do is these games always produce classics to watch over and over again. Probably a top five rivalry game for me personally to watch. I do not like that it's Sean Canfield's first time to the Autzen Zoo but Jacquizz Rodgers is a difference maker. The other thing I noticed is Jeremiah Masoli steps up in the spotlight; he loves the prime time games and seems to always have big games. The game will be a nail biter for Mitch until quarter four when Masoli and company pull away. ORE 38-28

NFL Daily: See Ya Later Jauron and LJ Lands in Cincy
Once again I am taking the easy way out by doing two articles in one because I can get things done quicker. Trust me, you will enjoy it better than watching twenty-fours of basketball. Although if I have nothing to do next year, I am writing a complete blog about 24 hours of watching college basketball, I do not know if I can do it though.
T.O. Takes out Another Coach- I probably shouldn't take this one on T.O. because this isn't his fault. I think management for the Buffalo Bills have been awful in the past five years and bringing guys like Trent Edwards as your starting quarterback. The Bills who were a great franchise in the 90s are now a hapless franchise needing a quarterback. Honestly, trade up and get Jimmy Clausen if he comes out. I think that would be awesome solution to their problems. In addition, if they bring in a guy like Mike Shanahan they could become a contender in a couple of years probably without T.O.
Larry Johnson, now a Bengal- I honestly didn't know what to think about this one for multiple reasons. If this works, they have a SCARY 1-2 punch when Cedric Benson is healthy again and it makes them closer to being a Super Bowl Contender. But he could be a distraction and ruin team chemistry leading the team to struggles in the second half. Adam Schefter reported earlier this week via Twitter that if LJ becomes a problem, they could release him like fish on a string. I think it works out and makes the Bengals that much more of a contender.

Week One Wrap-Up: Crazier Than Kanye
Basically this is going to be my weekly wrap-up on Monday Night/Tuesday Morning for all of you and the main focus will be on the Green Bay Packers yet I will give a bunch of quick hitters about all the games that were significant. Quick opinion on Kanye West... Yes he is an asshole but haven't we known that for years since his rise to popularity. Also he was doing pulls out of a Cognac bottle therefore people do dumb shit when they are drunk. Now on to the NFL...
Oh my, what a weekend it was and we will start where it matters the Green Bay Packers who were playing their arch-rivals the Chicago Bears. Every Bears fan was trash-talking this whole summer about Jay Cutler and the future of their franchise.. blah blah blah. How about we talk about the Packer defense that took the ball away four times from Cutler? Okay. They looked awesome sending pressure from everywhere and you could tell that Cutler was flustered (see Clay Matthews punking him). Minus Atari Bigby's injury (sprained knee), I cannot find one concern about the defense. They played magnificent.
The offense side was rattled by the new look Bears defense who were very good until losing Brian Urlacher (more to come). Also the offense plan seemed weird at times throwing long balls at times not needed and relying on the run too much. Thats the end of my rant though because when its all said and done Aaron Rodgers hit Greg Jennings deep for the game-winning score. I also think the Pack need to reconsider Allen Barbre at Right Tackle, give it another game because Adewale Ogunleye is one of the best so maybe its makes him stronger who knows.
Finally, I really like that Aaron Rodgers won the game for the Packers. As my roommates and I all agreed no one can complain about A-Rod not being clutch or Mike McCarthy's play calling late in the game. I hope all the fans became believers last night.
Quick Thoughts on the rest of the NFL...
-I dont care what my roommate Brett says.... Jake Delhomme is now in the twilight of his career and I think he is lasting only one/two more games as a starter. Panthers will end up 8-8 at best.
-Donovon McNabb injury will hurt for one week or so which I really dont think hurts them. In addition, it has nothing to do with his arm.
-Bears fans it could be a long year when you had Super Bowl in your eyes. Losing Brian Urlacher for the season is like losing Tom Brady yet there is no Matt Cassel in Chi-City.
-Great Monday Night Football games today. Buffalo once again chokes which is the story of their lives but I was impressed with their young o-line/Fred Jackson. Tom Brady and the young defense should be fine. The team who had the biggest impact on me was Oakland who were the best I have seen them in many years. They might surprised a couple teams, we will see.
-Very impressed with San Francisco, New York Giants Defense, Dallas Offense.

NFL Preview: AFC East/AFC North
Now we move on to the AFC who is proving to be more top heavy than Pamala Anderson in her prime. They have about four to five really good teams but no real parody at all inside the league. Anyways here we go...
AFC East
1. New England Patriots- Key Players: QB Tom Brady WR Randy Moss LB Jared Mayo Key Games- at/vs NY Jets (9/20, 11/22) vs. Baltimore (10/4) vs. Tennessee (10/18) vs/at Miami (11/8, 12/6) at Indianapolis (11/15) at New Orleans (11/30) Outlook- No reason for me not to believe that they will be the best in the East with Brady back. Their defense is a bit shaky but their offense can handle that.
2. Miami Dolphins- Key Players: RB Ronnie Brown, LB Channing Crowder, LB Joey Porter Key Games: at Indianapolis (9/21) vs/at NY Jets (10/12, 11/1) vs. New Orleans (10/25) at/vs New England (11/8, 12/6) at Tennessee (12/20) vs. Pittsburgh (1/3) Outlook- The Phins have a reasonable schedule and you wonder how good Chad Pennington can be this year after a magical season ago. They will fall short of the playoffs but finish second.
3. New York Jets- Key Players: RB Thomas Jones LB David Harris QB Mark Sanchez Key Games- vs./at New England (9/20 11/22) at Tennessee (9/27) at New Orleans (10/4) at/vs. Miami (10/12, 11/1) at Indianapolis (12/27) Outlook- I think Sanchez couldnt have asked for a worst start to his career with all the tough games at the beginning but I think they go on a big run possibly pushing a Wild Card spot late.
4. Buffalo Bills- Key Players: RB Marshawn Lynch WR Terrell Owens S Donte Whitner Key Games- at/vs New England (9/14, 12/20) vs. New Orleans (9/27) at Tennessee (11/15) vs. Indianapolis (1/3) Outlook- I think it will be a rough year for TO and the boys with him already not liking the offense plus dealing without Lynch for 3 weeks.

(AFC North)1. Pittsburgh Steelers Key Players- QB Big Ben (saving space people!), WR Santonio Holmes, LB James Harriosn Key Games-vs. Tennessee (9/10) vs. San Diego (10/4) vs. Minnesota (10/25) at/vs Baltimore (11/22, 12/27) vs. Green Bay (12/20) Outlook- Wow, talk about an easy schedule, they will have home-field in the playoffs no doubt about it plus unreal media attention. Still a class act team. North
2. Baltimore Ravens: Key Players- S Ed Reed LB Terrell Suggs QB Joe Flacco Key Games- at San Diego (9/20) at New England (10/4) at Minnesota (10/18) vs. Indianapolis (11/15) vs/at Baltimore (11/22, 12/27) at Green Bay (12/7) Outlook- The first Wild Card winner of the AFC and their defense is going to tough as nails again. Flacco has a chance to be much better too.
3. Cincinnati Bengals: Key Players- QB Carson Palmer WR Chad OchoCinco WR Laveraneus Coles Key Games- at Green Bay (9/20) vs/at Pittsburgh (9/27, 11/15) at/vs Baltimore (10/11 11/8) at Minnesota (12/13) at San Diego (12/20) Outlook- This is my roommate E's surprise team of the year, I dont see it. Very tough schedule plus their defense isnt that special.
4. Cleveland Browns: Key Players- QB Brady Quinn WR Braylon Edwards DT Shaun Rogers Key Games- vs. Minnesota (9/13) at/vs Baltimore (9/27, 11/16) at/vs Pittsburgh (10/25, 12/10) vs. San Diego (12/6) Outlook- It is going to an ugly year for the Browns even though I enjoy Quinn a lot, he has no defense help.

I Hope T.O. Loves Buffalo Wings
It didnt take long for Mr. Terrell Owens to find a job again. He is now heading to Buffalo to play with the Bills for a 1 year 6.5 million dollars deal. I think this is a great deal for the Bills.
The reason why its a great deal for Buffalo...
1. They needed to make a splash somehow with the struggling economy and they were losing money according to Chris Mortenson. Now they will be the focus of many prime time games and much attention for this year. Not to mention, the jersey sales they will get for TO.
2. Its a one year deal. Its not like the Bills have to hold on to Owens for two or three years. If he creates problems during this upcoming year, they can simply cut him loose to another team. I doubt in that one year though that Owens will be a problem. He is going to want the ball because its his contract year essentially but I highly doubt it will be a problem.
3. Dick Jauron needs to get the playoffs. They have went 7-9 in the last three years and Ralph Wilson wants to get to the playoffs. They now have a formidable offensive lineup with Trent Edwards, Marshawn Lynch, Lee Evans, and TO. The AFC East will be a very tough division this year.
