Recently watched "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" and have always found the scene when the Black Knight accosts King Arthur particularly engrossing. The knight won't let Arthur and his court cross a bridge, so Arthur fights him and cuts his arms and legs off, leaving him a tree stump. The knight, however, won't concede defeat, saying his injuries are merely "scratches" and "flesh wounds."
When Arthur walks toward the bridge, the knight yells, "We'll call it a draw."
"What are you gonna do, bleed on me?" Arthur asks.
The knight says he'll do much worse: "I'll bite your legs off."
Oh, like I'm really sure he could bite his legs off.
I bring that movie up because Bills coach Gregg Williams reminds me a lot of the Black Knight. He no longer has the limbs he had when he came to Buffalo . His offensive coordinator, Mike Sheppard, is gone. His defensive coordinator, Jerry Gray, has had his power usurped by Dick LeBeau. His offensive line coach, Ronnie Vinklarek - a friend of his - wasn't offered a new contract and neither was his linebackers coach, Miles Aldridge.
