T. Neuenhoff (Bound Brook, NJ): I've heard it mentioned that penalties area lack of discipline, handed down directly from the head coach. Do you think that the Bills are not disciplined as a direct result of coach Mularkey's ineptness and should the head coach be ultimately accountable?

Tom Donahoe: There are all kinds of theories with regard to penalties and what causes them. Lack of discipline is one theory. From watching our players everyday in practice and in meetings, we would not feel that our players lack discipline. Sometimes they may lack focus and concentration, and they can improve in these areas. We have also brought officials to our practice sessions to make players more aware of how to do things properly. In Saturday's game, we had way too many penalties. When you commit 12 penalties against a good football team, you are not going to win.

Allan Thompson (Rocky Mount, NC): Mr. Donahoe. The Bills have had a habit over your tenure of releasing veterans who can still contribute to the success of the team. Those veterans often leave with animosity towards the Bills. Will you negotiate in good faith with Eric Moulds to have him end his career as a Buffalo Bill? Saturday's game showed that he is still one of the best players on the team, and he is needed on the field. Thank you.
