According to ProFootballTalk.com, the Buffalo Bills have fired offensive coordinator Turk Schonert.
If true, and I have no reason to doubt it, it marks the third offensive coordinator dismissed league-wide this preseason.
The Bills offense has been abysmal this preseason, scoring a total of three points in five games with their first-team offense on the field. Even [...]

Schonert Done in Buffalo

Geez, I better write something
on Friday, August 28th, 2009
Kids tend to have an interesting perspective on things. A 3:05 start for the Dodgers in Colorado yesterday meant that I got to watch the last two innings on the tube. And since my kids will literally watch anything that appears on a television, they watched along with me.
With the Dodgers up 3-2 in the [...]
Bills Tickets, Kane Problems, and the NHL National TV Schedule
on Wednesday, August 19th, 2009
So, we have a few items to discuss.
First up, is that the Bills somehow sold over 55,000 season tickets for this upcoming season. Granted, they are down about 900 seats from last year, but 55,194 is nothing to sneeze at, especially in this economy.
And while I still contend that ease of entry into the resale [...]
Buffalo News Reports Peters Not Coming Back
on Wednesday, August 19th, 2009
John Vogl reports in the Buffalo News this morning after talking with Andrew Peters that the Sabres have not talked to Peters since July 1 and apparently have no interest in doing so.
“It’s unfortunate, but I’ve enjoyed my time here. I’ve loved my time here. I’ve been through good times and bad, with successful teams [...]
Why did Michael Vick land in Philthy?
on Sunday, August 16th, 2009
A lot of Bills fans were palpably curious, especially on Thursday, that the Bills might sign the ex-con from Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary. Now, I was among those were curious, and some of those might have even seen Adam Schefter’s RT (re-tweet) from a Rochester twitterer reporting Vick was at RGH (Rochester General Hospital). It was [...]
What, Matt Barnaby can’t light a fire by rubbing two sticks together?
on Tuesday, August 11th, 2009
How in the world did I miss this?
The event begins Aug. 14. Stroud will provide the participants with a brief survival class in the Hornepayne high school gym, toss them a copy of his book SURVIVE!, and set them loose for two nights and the better part of three days in the wilderness with no [...]
No wonder the cabbie was quiet
on Tuesday, August 11th, 2009
The Buffalo News digs up some dirt on the cabbie who Kane and his cousin rolled (allegedly).
No drivers license, a couple DIWI’s in his past. No wonder his attorney has advised him to disappear.
It won’t change much in the eyes of the public as punching a 62-year-old for pretty much any reason is not cool. [...]
Pat Kane: Something doesn’t feel quite right…
on Tuesday, August 11th, 2009
Something about Pat Kane beating up a 62-year-old man doesn’t feel quite right.
But regardless of the “feel,” and irrespective of what comes to light that led to the instance, there is no changing the fact that it happened and that what happened is pretty much indefensible in the court of public opinion.
I’ll be the first [...]
Sabres Sign Mike Grier
on Monday, August 10th, 2009
Does this mean that the Sabres are now committed to winning? Seems to me that the Sabres have only added to their reputation of not being committed to winning since Mike Grier walked out the door three years ago with unkind things to say about the Buffalo organization.
And yet, Mike Grier is a Sabre again. [...]
