Agreed. I don't know why but I am hesitantly optimistic about his return. But this is probably just wishful thinking.

He must have two cars. I swear I saw him driving a Beetle.

Wendling is a freak on special teams. He is athletic freak in general. The guy will never be an every down player, but I think he very much so fits this criteria. He lead or was in the top of Bobby Aprils "rating" system on special teams every year... I would also add Eric Wood to this list (if he is healed). Geoff Hangarter (sp) too.

2 Playoff games in 2 years. They were 1 and done both seasons. BUT that Dallas team was a dying star. They had a 5-11 record the following year. I think its telling that Jerry Jones has gone on record saying that he regrets firing Chan after the second year.

Kyle Williams would make a better 3-4 NT than Stroud at this point. Here is what I would do with the starting lineup. I am only going to work with players that are currently signed. I realize personnel will change, but I won't speculate on that in this projection. CB 1 - McGee CB 2 - McKelvin Nickel - Florence Dime - Corner FS - Byrd SS - Whitner OLB - Maybin ILB - Poz ILB - Mitchell OLB - Scott, Ellison, or Draft (Needs to be addressed big time) DE - Stroud NT - Williams DE - Schobel

It very well may not be broadcast until tomorrow, but I have read a similar quote on this website and ESPN several times already. If he stole that from you I say kudos for creativity. I still find it to be an in accurate statement, however. Jauron has had 1 winning record in the NFL. Chan Gailey conversely has seen success (sometimes moderate) everywhere he has been.

Woody Paige from around the Horn Much?? Seriously, I am not ecstatic about the hire, but this guy is not Dick Jauron.

WOW, the PTI boys showed the Bills some love. Trashed the Raiders. - Ralph - HOF owner, very old but good owner (In a nutshell.)

EPIC FAIL. I would have been ok with Chan Gailey as OC had he not been canned by the KC Chiefs before the season.

Thanks.

You could take just about any team in the NFL and name players and/or personnel that have played for another team at one time... What is the point of this thread? Besides a weak attempt to knock the Bills for letting those individuals go?

Fred Jackson spent years in the Arena league, NFL Europe and our PS before getting a chance and making an impact... I hear what you are saying, and you have a good point. But the guy played decently all things considered and while we shouldn't bank on him for next year, we shouldn't write him off either.

What about in Chicago? They run the Cover 2...are they dead last against the run? What about Minnesota? THE COVER 2 does not mean smaller players and poor run play like the Bills and the Colts. This is just how the scheme was adapted to fit the philosophies of these programs.... Yes, the Bills SUCKED against the run. That is because of the personnel that was brought in and the coaching. Not the scheme. (And for the record I want to switch from the Cover 2 as well) I just don't like the misconceptions people have about it.

Don't make assumptions that the Tampa 2 will go away. This will depend entirely on who Buddy Nix hires as a head coach. BTW I fail to understand why people associate the Tampa 2 with small players. This was a preference and philosophy of the old regime. Many teams, such as the Vikings and Bears run the Cover 2 with larger defenders. Pat Williams, Kevin Williams and Jared Allen are all larger linemen. In Chicago Urlacher and Briggs are good sized LBs. (These are just quick examples of names).

That was hysterical. Mostly because there are probably some elements of truth behind it...

Why do we need to draft a CB? I think our depth at DB is exceptional (one of the few things Jauron left us with). 1. McGee 2. McKelvin 3. Florence 4. Corner 5. Youboty 6. Lankster 7. Harris I think this is one of our few areas of strength. I say pick up another LB or Lineman instead.

I disagree with you completely. First of all, the Bills are not a corporation, they are a privately owned entity, owned by one individual. cor⋅po⋅ra⋅tion   /ˌkɔrpəˈreɪʃən/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [kawr-puh-rey-shuhn] Show IPA Use corporation in a Sentence See images of corporation Search corporation on the Web –noun 1. an association of individuals, created by law or under authority of law, having a continuous existence independent of the existences of its members, and powers and liabilities distinct from those of its members. 2. (initial capital letter) the group of principal officials of a borough or other municipal division in England. 3. any group of persons united or regarded as united in one body. 4. Informal. a paunch; potbelly. Regardless, I will give you 3 examples of why you were wrong. 1. New York Yankees - For decades George Steinbrenner was the iron fist of this organization. He was the bottom line and made ALL of the decisions. They have 27 World Series Titles. (I AM NOT A YANKEE FAN - DISCLAIMER) 2. Oakland Raiders - OK, they are a joke now. But Al Davis was this entire organization for decades. He was this team. He made personnel decisions, staff decisions etc etc... They have been to 5 Superbowls, winning 3. 3. Apple - This was a company that for all intensive purposes was dead in the water. Their recent success is directly attributed to Steve Jobs. SO much so that it was being debated in the legal community whether Apple stock holders should be provided with Steve Job's private medical information (because this could so greatly affect the company.)

Fair enough, but a new stadium is also going to demand significantly higher ticket prices. How long until we start to complain about that? I just view it as unnecessary, but to each their own...

I don't see why. Personally, I think the Ralph is a great football venue. I think NY has enough financial problems without paying for a massive indulgent stadium. Just my opinion, but I love the Ralph.

Add some Mighty Taco and you have a hell of a package.

Three people that I can recall (Marty Schottenheimer, Brian Schottenheimer, Mike Shannahan) have stated that they aren't interested. Marty doesn't want to coach, or I feel as though he would take the position. Brian is happy where he is (so he says) and Mike was a package deal with Bruce Allen. The Redskins won Bruce Allen and hence signed Shannahan. I agree that I'm not feeling good about the lack of positive response regarding the Bills HC opening. But the sky is not falling..not yet. There are plenty of quality candidates out there still...

Amen.

Long live Ralph Wilson. It amazes me how an old man is continually bashed on this website. At the end of the day, what does he owe any of us? We choose to be fans of this team. We act as though he doesn't want a winner, but neglect to recall the Millions of dollars he shells out for players like Dockery, Spikes, Bledsoe, etc. He may not make the right decisions, but ultimately it is his money his decisions to make. Like it or not, Ralph Wilson is and always has been the Buffalo Bills. He is the reason they remain here for you all to complain about. If you cannot accept this then go route for the Dallas Cowboys or the Washington Redskins...THOSE owners are doing wonderful things for parity in the NFL. In closing stop bashing an old man for providing you a football team.

It snowed out yesterday... does that mean will it snow today? Past trends or coincidences do not necessarily dictate the future. Just saying...

Without a question B. Schottenheimer. In fact, If we can't get Cowher, Marty Schottenheimer or Billick (Experienced HC), Brian Schottenheimer and Jason Garrett would be my top coordinators. B. Schottenheimer comes from great football pedigree.
