yo dickface, everything on here gets posted multiple times. Cause losers like you have nothing better to do. So you like being the oakland of the east coast? That is what all these terrible moves keep doing. And every year, Buffalo fans go out and buy season tickets.
The defition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results-
You are pathetic...make it official then, delete you account on this board...if you are so serious about this and dont have tickets to cancel yourself, then do the next best thing and delete your account and stand by what you say...I guarantee you wont, becuase just like 98% of all the other posers claiming to be done with Bills, you are full of crap.
Seriously, go back to corner and continue sucking your thumb and stomping your feet and leave it off the board...its cluttered with whiny posers just like you already.
Its one thing to debate or disagree with moves, its another to pretend you are done with the Bills...I 100% guarantee if you had season tickets going into 2010 you would not cancel them...
PS: Football is JUST A GAME people...get over it, its not the end of the world. Not to mention people who have forgotten more about football than you will ever know are really high on this hire for us and think he is a great fit...so who the hell cares that you dont approve or dont think real fans should buy tickets...
-
OK. I live in St. Louis so I can't cancel my tickets, because I don't have any. If I lived up there, I would have them. And I would cancel them today. I follow this team every single day of my life. For over 45 years, I have been a fan.
Ralph promised change. He hired 71 year old guy from within. Then that guy ran out and hired a guy that nobody else wanted.
Do you really want to plunk down hundreds of dollars to support this old bastage?
Unbelievable. Chan Gailey over Marty Schottenheimer. Unbelievable.
You know, there are a bunch of BS threads like this, and some talking about how embarrased they are because of this hire...
GET REAL...seriously, Buffalo might have the biggest group of whiny cry babies I have ever seen, and thats what really gets embarrasing. They are so many whining over stupid things like not hiring a big name coach claming they are no longer fans and proposing to cancel season tickets...lmao at this gibberish.
Sure, we all would prefer someone like Shannhan and Cowher because we are more familiar with them...but the fact remains that people who know a hell of a lot more about football than you think Gailey is a great hire. The media, who knows jack squat about football and just runs popular opinnion and stirs the pot to generate interest is worthless too.
I will take the opinnion of those who make knowing football their career (and succeed at it) over a bunch of hack fans and low level media outlets all day long.
I would have prefered Billick too initially, but just because we didnt hire him doesnt mean we need to condem Gailey. And honestly, now that we know a lot more about Gailey, this hire doesnt look so bad as fisrt thought.
So get over yourself already, just because you dont know enough about football to know whether Gailey is a good hire or not doesnt mean you should push people to stop being fans. If you want to sit in the corner and suck your thumb while stomping your feet in displeasure, more power to you, its your right, but dont push that crap on everyone else...
PS: I guarantee you 100%, in fact I would bet everything I have in life that if you had season tickets paid for this upcoming season that you wouldnt really cancel them...just like all the other posers on here starting threads about how they are no longer fans...they always come back, just like you will...

Dude, i'm not assuming anything, i'm just going off of what HE said himself. And it's not as if he was a rookie QB taking every snap of every game and he was in over his head..he was a rookie on the PRACTICE SQUAD, AND STILL IN OVER HIS HEAD. If you can't figure out how important that distinction is, then there is no hope.
I don't dislike Brohm dude...but please, don't sit there and tell me how Brohm even BEGINS to compare to Bradford in terms of talent or their collegiate careers (which is all we can go by since Brohm had done 0 in the nfl thus far).
You just indicated that you really dont know a whole lot about Brohm other than he was on a practice squad. Brohm was PUT on the practice squad because he didnt transition to the speed of the NFL as a rookie as fast as Flynn. Brohm wasnt lost ON the practice squad as you are implyiing in your post. And by year two and in Buffalo he felt he was ready and had become comfortable with the speed of the game. Unfortunately in GB, they love Flynn and there wasnt room on the roster for Brohm when they had so many needs.
Come on man with the stats stuff...Rule #1, comparing college stats is absurd...NCAA passing reocrd holders are players like Chang, Brett Elliot, David Klingler, Andre Ware, etc etc...most you have never heard of in other words or never amount to anything at the pro level. Most are products of systems rather than talent.
Case in point, guess who would the first QB taken in this draft if he came out? Jake Locker...his stats are no where near those of the other QB's nor his record...its because he is beleived to have much more upside as a NFL QB and his skills project better to the pro level...
-
Alphadawg..Brohm said himself he was in over his head in Green Bay..i didn't say that, HE DID. You can go find the quote somewhere.
LOL, so a rookie QB in his rookie year takes a year to adjust to the pro game and you assume he is permanently over his head? In that same quote he also said its completely different now and is ready to compete...come on bro, you want to condem a high draft pick becuase he didnt adjust fast enough his rookie year to the speed and complexity to the game while playing the most complicated position in all of professional sports?
-
Better tools? how so? Not height...not size...really not arm strength. How about mentally? Brohm has already shown to be in a bit over his head in the nfl...Bradford almost matched Brohm's entire collegiate numbers in his Junior year alone..It's amazing how quickly people forget things.
Please explain how he has shown to be over his head even though he has only played in one game...not to mention, the GB HC said no player in his entire career has ever grasped a playbook faster than Brohm.
And his arm is bigger than any in the draft, the only reason you doubt it is becuase all you know about Brohm is that he came from the GB practice squad. Based on college resumes (as thats all we have to go on) he is more accurate, has a bigger arm, and is as intelligent if not more intelligent than any QB in this draft.
PS: LOL at the fact you sight size as why the QB's in the draft have better skills...his size is more than sufficient to play in the NFL, and size is near the bottom of the list of intangibles that have the greater impact on NFL success...so who cares about size when his size is just fine to begin with

Of all the things said by Nix & Gailey, one thing should jolt the people who think Brian Brohm is our QB of the future into reality:
Gailey was noncommittal on the quarterback situation. He and Nix have discussed the status of Ryan Fitzpatrick and Trent Edwards, but Gailey said he needs time to study the players on film before making an honest evaluation of them.
"I know both guys have had some success playing in the NFL, but they have not done it for a length of time with consistency," Gailey said. "Can they? We're going to decide that."
Brohm was not mentioned, because that's how little he is regarded by the guys in charge. He was a 3rd stringer plucked off a practice squad after nobody else was even willing to claim him off waivers just 1 year after being a 2nd round pick.
It's time to face reality, Brohm fans. He may be YOUR starting QB for 2010, but he will not be the Bills starting QB.
What? This says nothing to what you are implying it says...he just got hired for one, Trent and Fitz were clearly the established starters, so he addressed them in question. I love how Bills fans always find some negative way to spin things to create some kind of creative point that has really no relation to the quote...
-
I agree with your overall point, but imo, this franchise needs to stop d*cking around with the QB position and make a move for a premier talent and stop trying to find that 3rd/4th round stud that everyone passed up. At 9, there's a somewhat decent chance that either Bradford or Clausen will be there. If one of them is, we can't pass it up. (imo)
We cant pass them up? Why? Brohm has better tools than either of those guys and would have been drafted ahead of them if they were in the same draft...so how are you so certain when we need to draft one without gving Brohm a chance to show what he can do with the new coaches?
-
Bull ****. It is WELL past time to cut the BS and get a damn QB in here. I am sick of weak armed, weak minded POS' pushed on this fanbase and holding this team back.
We need a GOD DAMN QB!!!!
THe last thing anyone would call Brohm is weak armed...the only QB in his draft year with a stronger arm was Flacco and it wasnt by much...
Brohm is the equivalent of a high pick who has yet to get a full shot to play, so why is everyone so sure we still need to draft one, especially when this years QB crop isnt very impressive?
Bring in a vet or trade for McNabb if you want to have more certainty this year at QB, dont draft one high when we need to go OT early or LB/DL and give Brohm a chance to show he can be our guy for the future or not before you waste a HUGE contract on a questionable first round QB...

"...and so I'm sitting there with a beer in my hand, getting LOADED, when the phone rings. And it's Buddy Nix!...."
Best so far...lmao, nice one

Pants on the ground, pants on the ground. Looking like a fool with your pants on the ground.
Is this a thread about American Idol or captioning a picture of the newest Bills retread HC.
Apparently both since you keep spreading that song...
Congrats on being sucked in by the publicity train called American Idol...I will say this though, I cant help but respect how they continously mold the public like puddy in their hand and have been doing so this long. Its rather impressive I must say...
-
Daggum, the song goes "lookin like a fool with your pants on the ground."
Ralph warned me you media people twist everything.
Oh please, no more of that song...another horrible song made popular by American Idol just like that crap a few years back "She Bang"...
FYI to the public: When those people go in front of judges on TV they are really going through their 3rd or 4th audition, not their first. They go through a producers room in groups of 5 , then the best and worst get sent up to another producers room in groups of 5, then the best and worst go in front of the executive producers (including the old guy judge on So You Think You Can Dance)...they then choose the best and the worst to go in front of the Judges as well as some so-so people so that it isnt obvious to the public.
All along, the bad people are told they are great and told how to be better (but in reality they are telling them how to look worse so its even funnier if they make it to TV).
The point is, the age limit is 28 yet they put that 63 year old man on the show after 4 auditions just so they can exploit this god awful gimick song for a butt load of money...

This thread is too long to go through, but I dont get all the backlash over Marty...
He has a terrible playoff record and seems to find ways to lose big games. I know the collective whine of the Bills fan base is going to to respond with something along the lines of settling for just seeing the playoffs, but I just cant do that. Sure, getting to the playoffs would be nice, but whats the point if cant win once you get there...lame.
Marty is an upgrade over DJ, but I dont see how he could cause uproar by having interest in our job. Hes been on the hot seat at just about every job he has had because he NEVER gets over the hump. I play to win, and Marty doesnt win when it counts. Getting to the playoffs isnt enough, I want to win the SB and I Marty has shown time and time again his teams just dont get there. He has something like a 5-13 record despite taking some very talented teams several times into the playoffs...
I would not have been upset if we got him, but I really dont see it as a big deal that we didnt either.

ESPN- Seattle and Buffalo choose two former College coaches to lead their teams. However, the names Pete Carroll and Chan Galey just don't sound the same (add laughter).
Headline News- A bill board doesn't buy what it used to. The Bills fans pulled thier resources to try to get Cowher, but landed Chan Galey. But have been a clearence advertisement.
NFL network- laughing at Nix for saying there were 15 calls from coaches who wanted to be in Buffalo, but somehow they actually answered when Chan called LOL.
Charlotte, NC radio- fans calling in just mocking this decision blaming it on the cold weather and the snow.
Charlotte Sports TV news- In other news, the Bills lost out on Cowher and had to settle for Chan. What else do you expect from a team that has to leave the country to find fans. *laughing "Maybe Canadians will think Galey is Cowher."
These are just a few reports I have seen. Other TV clips have been of Nix just sounding foolish. When Nix made his little comment about Buffalo not being Oakland, the newscaster said, "Your right Buddy. People actually want to live and work in Oakland, even if it is for Al."
I'm known as a Bills fan. My office is full of Buffalo Bills stuff. I'm embarassed to evern be associated with this mess. What a slap in the face.
What I don't understand is that some of you foolish fans will be more upset at this post, than what happend today @ One Bills Drive.
For those Spelling and Grammer Nazi's on TBD, I have made several spelling and gramatical mistkes in this post. Can you find them?
My point: True Bills fans shouls be embarased and insulted by what has taken place this year @ One Bills Drive.
You are being overly sensitive...I mean, we are talking about a game here, not your kids or family. Its not that serious for one...
Second, who cares what they say...let them talk, it will just be that more satisfying when we get this ship turned around assuming Gailey works out.
Third, part of sports is ribbing on your friends, co-workers, etc whenever you can. Roll with it, why be embarrased? I was all over friends who are Eagles fans after they got destroyed and at least they were in the playoffs...same with my friends who are Cowboy fans...part of the game...(funny thing is that even though I live in Southern California I dont have any friends who are Chargers fans to make fun of...lmao)
Fourth, from what I am being told Gailey is pretty highly respected in NFL circles and amongst his peers. Sure he wasnt a sexy choice, so the media is going to pile on...but now that the dust has settled and we know a little bit more about him he doesnt look so bad. Lets give him a chance to do something here before we condem him like the media.
-
Yup, he was the guy that started it all. Todd Haley fired him from KC just before the start of the season...Meaning, Buffalo followed suit and fired its OC just prior to start of season then went out and replaces its HC with the other OC that was fired by KC...Chan Gailey...
Unbelievable...he may turn out to be a good coach, but this hire just doesnt make sense to me. Frazier was a much more attractive option in my eyes...Billick is a more attracive option my a mile...etc etc
*Deep Sigh* with curse words mumbling under my breath...

I am confused by a lot of those posts in this threads (I just skimmed over them since there were so many). I keep seeing people talking of a trade for McNabb that includes Lynch...all I want to know is ... What?
Has no one heard of McCoy in Phi? They loved this rookie and refer to him often as a Westbrook clone. Why on earth would Phi want a troubled RB who dances too much behind the line and drops a lot of passes when they just drafted a guy they love who is a perfect fit for their style of game?
Not saying Lynch is a bumb, but his flaws are in plain sight. He doesnt hit the hole fast enough and he drops too many passes, the two things the Phi running attack depends on the most. He is a terrible fit there and goes against what Reid wants from his RB's. And thats before you even factor in his troubled off field issues...
There is just no way any package for Lynch would get us McNabb unless Lynch was just a throw in. The only way we will get McNabb is with draft picks...
Just because we may decide we want to move on from Lynch doesnt mean teams will be lining up to take him. Shaun Alexander and Edgerin James were both on the market while they were in the prime of their careers, and neither Sea nor Indy could even get someone to offer a 2nd round pick for them and they were two of the best in the league and squeaky clean. The reason is simple, RB is the easiest position to replace, so no one wants to give up too much to obtain one unless they are young, proven and durable...the only thing has of those 3 things is that he is young.
So news flash here is that Lynch would not fetch anything higher than a 3rd and maybe some change, and thats not even a certainty given his off field issues.

So we all know Jacksonville is highly interested in Tebow. So here is and idea i heard that i really like.
We show extreme interest in drafting Tim Tebow, knowing Jacksonville is interested and see what Jacksonville is willing to offer if anyhitng.
Maybe we can snatch David Garrard out of the deal. Face it Garrad has been efficient with half the talent in Jacksonville at the WR position. I mean they drafted a QB and made hiom a WR!
(Im sorry i had to create another Tebow thread)
Flame away.
Heres my issue with that...what are we passing on to make this trade? A top OT, LB or DE will almost certainly be there at #9, all key positions of need, especially OT. What are we really going to get from Jax to move down? No way we trade a #1 pick for just DG...is Jax really willing to give up DG and their #1 pick for Tebow who has lots of question marks projecting to the NFL? I would seriously doubt they would trade DG and their #1 for the #9 pick to get Tebow.
Especially given DG has been hampered by a severe lack of playmakers during his time as Jax QB. They have too good of a core on that team to just throw it all away and start rebuilidng behind a questionable QB, especailly since Del Rio is coaching for his job next year. With the emergence of Sims Walker, they are most likely looking to add another playmaker to the offense rather than scrap the whole thing for a QB who has questionable NFL skills.
If Jax is going to make a play for Tebow, I seriously doubt DG will be involved in the move. They are not going to hand over the reigns to an unproven rookie in a year where everyone is playing for their jobs. So that being said, what would Jax be willing to give up to get a guy who wont play next year on anything other than specialty plays (barring injury to DG of course)? They need a WR and help on D, which will likely make a trade with them hard to make. For it to be worth it to us, we would need at least their first and second round picks along with an additional pick somewhere...thats a lot to pay for Tebow who may fall to them anyway (and most likely does).
So this trade just doesnt make sense to me from either prospective. We need a top 10 talent at OT or Defensive front 7 and there will almost certainly be one available at our pick. Trading down this year just isnt as attractive unless we can recoup a bounty, and paying a bounty to get Tebow just makes no sense for Jax, especially since in all probability he will fall to them in the first (where I am not even convinced they would draft him, depends on his workouts leading up to the draft).

Actually, the talk is Fargas will be the odd man out. Bush is younger and proven to be an asset over the last couple of seasons. The one they have too much invested in is McFadden. Jackson is also going nowhere. The Rams will not trade away there only offensive star.
Yeah, totally agree with what you are saying, however, the Raiders have big needs and Bush can fetch more than Fargas can. Thats why I was saying watch out for him.
And yeah, Rams have said several times that they wont trade S Jax, however, lots of teams have said they wont trade a player just to end up trading him still. So who knows, plus I have seen a couple of different rumors about the Pats possibly trading for him despite Rams saying they arent planning on trading him. You never know what report has any merit and what doesnt though, so only time will tell.
Although I could see Fargas fitting in quite nicely in NE too...
-
Actually, no he wouldn't be willing to come to Buffalo. He's already been contacted and turned the Bills down (and the Seahawks).
Yay, another HC thread...lol...just busting your chops...
But as far as this post I am quoting...this is actually not true. Rivera didnt turn down the job or the chance to interview for the job, he simply declined to interview for any job until the Chargers season is done as they believe they have a very good chance to go to and win the SB and thats his current focus. Cant blame him either...
-
The draft is going to be key for them. If they have a good draft, they'll be dominant again. If not, they'll be mediocre for a while. I wouldn't be suprised if all four of those picks go for linemen and linebackers.
Yeah, I think you are right and they use them on linemen and LB's. Although, I wouldnt be surprised to see them trade some picks to get an impact player. Like I said, rumors are out there about S. Jax and Peppers already...so who knows.
One guy to watch out for is Michael Bush. This guy would be a major stud as a starter on any other team, but because the Raiders have so much invested in McFadden and Fargas, there just isnt enough carries to go around. I wouldnt be surprised if NE trades one of those 2nd round picks for Bush...lord knows the Raiders could use that pick more than having 3 RB's and St Louis keeps saying they wont trade S. Jax (although that really doesnt mean squat).
-
I know that this is a big if, but IF the reports are correct, the reason Bill Cowher will not come here is because Ralph will not give him final authority on players and will not commit a workable budget for Cowher to fill ihs staff with quality coaches and fill the roster with NFL caliber players. The Bills are not "doing exactly wat they should be doing". Ralph is being cheap and controlling. If he truly cared about winning, he would hire Cowher and give him what he wants. This would be his best chance of delivering on the bull **** promise he made to the fans this year.
Instead, he will end up with a coordinator. Maybe they will turn out to be good. Maybe not. But he will not give them the money to get the best assistants and the best roster. If the Bills have any success in the next few years, it will not be because Ralph and Russ did the right thing.
I have also read reports supossedly "very close" to Cowher that said not coming to Buffalo has nothing to with money and that we offered him a huge deal...
What report is true, who knows. But there seems to be enough info out there speculating that the keys to vault were likely given to both Shannahan and Cowher...so I honestly dont think its about money at all...maybe control, but I doubt money...

Welker's season next year is in serious jeopardy with his knee injury and the position he plays.
Pats have the picks, but they sure don't like to use them.
That said, they'll probably will win 11 next year. That's not exactly the level they've been accustomed to though.
Well when you predict a teams record for the upcoming year and 11 is in the low end of the range, thats impressive. You would be hard pressed to find any sensible football fan, analyst, player, etc that would logically predict the Pats winning less than 10 or 11 games next year barring major injuries. So when your downside is still double digit wins and the other end of the range is 13+ wins I find it hard to declare it an end of a dynasty, especially when that team has 4 picks in the first 2 rounds of the draft.
Thats all I am saying...
-
I am on record as vehemently disagreeing with people who say we should pick up Fox if Cowher somehow ends up as coach of the Panthers. I really dislike Fox.
Now, Coughlin on the other hand, I would hire as coach in a happy second if he were available.
In fact, if Coughlin and Cowher were both available at the same time and clamoring for the Bills job (hey, I can dream), I would hire Coughlin.
He's had success with two different teams and rarely fields an under-500 club. Cowher's done it in one place and it took him a decade to get there.
First, love the avatar...great movie, top 10 in my all time list.
Second, totally agree. I would in no way be dissapointed with Cowher, but Coughlin is top coach in this league and the level of discipline and hard nosed practices is just what this panzy azz team needs right now. Its like we are made out of glass or something...
-
Be honest. Most fans completely overreact to everything. Everything is the worst or best ever. The PAts essentially had a rebuilding year and still made the playoffs. They'll be back. Most fans are dumb and Pats fans are dumber than most. They didn't ever know they had a team until 9 years ago. They're still learning.
Very true...
One more tidbit too: Pats have FOUR picks in the first 2 rounds this year...they are in prime position to restock the cupboards with more young talent. It didnt help either that Brady was missing the league leader in receptions in this years playoff game.
I guarantee the Pats win at least 11 games again next year (barring major injuries to Moss, Welker, or Brady) and could win as many as 14. Moss, Welker, and Brady are young enough still to be dominant for a few more years. Add into the mix all the picks NE has this year to restock or use as trade bait to get some top players and its hard to imagine them being anything other than a SB contender every year for the next 3 years.
Lots of rumors that they may use some of those draft picks to try an pry Steven Jackson from St. Louis...not to mention Julius Peppers is once again being linked frequently to NE.

Rolando McClain from Alabama is a STUD!
I watched the national championship, and the guy was all over the place. He makes great reads and is a sure tackler (something the Bills have lacked for awhile now). He's the Patrick Willis of this draft, and should be there at 9.
As much as I love this pick, it only makes sense if:
A) There is no top LT worth taking at #9 left on the board
B) Or we signed a LT in FA
Otherwise, LT is a much bigger hole. In fact, I am not even convinced LB is that big of a hole. I have a feeling the next HC is going to see Maybin as a LB, and with him, Mitchell, Poz, and Harris as our core, then we have a very promising set of LB's.

Terrible idea unless he wants a guy to just not get in the way...AVP was terrible this year, and I am not just referring to the way the offense played as a lot of that was very poor execution from the O Line and QB.
AVP was the least creative OC I have ever seen, and NO I am not referring to overly creative plays. I am referring directly to the point that he has no idea how to adjust an offense to counter the D being thrown at him and was incredibly poor at figuring out how to involve the WR's.
So many games could have gone differently if he would have just made adjustments, insereted slants, crossing routes, etc to help our QB's get them more involved. I swear it was mid season before we even saw a slant and that resulted in a long TD to Evans.
Yes, he was handicapped with poor QB play, but the offesne was the most predictable in the NFL, made very very few adjustments in game, and was terrible at finding ways to involve our weapons like Evans, TO, and even Nelson underneath and over the middle.
Add in to the mix that Trent has been terrible and AVP has been his mentor as a QB coach and OC...so he has a track record of really no success as a QB coach or OC...
NO THANKS...
