Well WGR already pulled the article i quoted (someone please pull it up) so i guess we will se if the AZ D coordiantor is hired as the next coach.... if so you can buy me the next 5000 wings and if thats the case Whaley also should not have been opening his mouth...then again maybe you are used to the last 13 years and used to putting up with a horrible productI don't appreciate your candor... Or lack of candor.... or.... Or whatever
-
If those guys are hired then id say he's out of his league...if you think it bodes well that a GM prematurley puts it out there then go for it....again IF they are hired hold those statments for the press conference.Yes, just no one agrees with it yet.
-
it was a lingering hangover but i think you get my pointWere you trying not to tip your hand when stated "lack of candor" then or was it a misdirection?
-
Agree completely...i hope for the genius side!!"....things work for them" could've been the missing fragment.
Also you have it worded as "and hopefully...." In the op and "but hopefully...." here - FYI.
And it's either he's an idiot or genius.
-
Even though we have no idea if serious?If he really wants them then dont do the premature e.......
The old "he tipped his hand obviously.... Unless he didnt - who knows?" argument. Forgetting that they are unlikely to be stolen out from under us either way.
Maybe he wants them...maybe
Maybe he wants an excuse to be in Arizona...maybe
Maybe he's paying a friend a compliment when they need some juice around the league...maybe, if they are hirednthen i have the issue.
-
His candorSo is the issue a lack of candor or his candor?
-
"they have other opportunities..... but hopefully" if you read that A) he wants one of these guys hired (then that doesnt bode well for his savvy in the orginization B)He is throwing out the red herring (good job)Good God!!!
This has to rank as one of the dumpest posts of all time and there's been many in the last couple of weeks.
As they say about Monday morning QB's it's real easy to read his comments and somehow find something to pick apart about them. As opposed to he's asked a question and he gives an answer off the cuff. Maybe he should require all questions be submitted to him 24 hours in advance so he can analyze his responses to the exact word, may sure he gets any pauses in the right spot too.
-
there are 2 choices 1) he is playing possum 2) He wants one of these guys if so he shouldnt be putting it out there prematurely.
-
Simply put if Belichick stated "HOPEFULLY THIS GUY CONSIDERS THE JOB" it would be a big deal and people would say wow he really wants this guy. Now if Whaley is playing possum and has no interest in AZ i say good for him, but if he in anyway thinks he wants either of those guys from AZ there is no way he has the savvy to be a GM....Actually, it sounds like you have an issue with his candor
-
Hopefully and pause......then a continuance on the same thread means you want something....show me a statement where you express hopefully...i will chow down on some poop...it is what it is
-
I have to say if Whaley has meade these comments “We go way back, we won Super Bowls together so I have high regard for their coaching acumen. Personally, I know those guys and hopefully…we’ll see what happens. I know they’ve got a lot of opportunities, we haven’t decided, we’ve still got to figure out what we’re going to do and after that, I don’t think it’ll make a decision on if they’re going to be our coach, but I can shed some insight on how they performed while I was with them and as people.”
These comments are posted on the WGR web site if they are legitimate and prove accurate I have some real issues with his lack of candor. I work in a legal profession and deal with statements all day long, if the Bills end up taking either of these coaches, and if so I'd anticiapte it by weeks end, I have serious issues with Whaleys professionalism.. "hopefully we will see what happens" speaks volumes. Even if he thinks they are the best candiadtes, (which I dont) he should not be tipping his hand. Would any top level executive state/tip his hand and say he was going tp buy a certain stock or company before a contaact or agreement was reached... NO. If either of these guys (Wheissy or his D coordiantor) are hired it shows what bush league Whaley is and what the Bills have to look forward to. What a person say's and doesnt say is huge...."hopefully" so expalin that to me Whaley in objective fashion...i guess your mind i made up....if the hire goes through you and Russ are bush league already tipping your hand like that...prior to an interview etc what a mess
if this is misdirection than id say AWESOME job guys, glad to see some savvy occuring at two bills drive!

I agree.
I think Littman and Overdorf are responsible for that, as they helped convince Ralph that the overspending ways of John Butler were killing the franchise.
The problem is, that now the same 2 money men have been handicapping this franchise for 10 years straight.
Throw in the inept Modrak, and this team has no future.
Great thread on Modrak and you are sport on by including Littman and Overdorf -what a group of three inept losers sucking Ralph dry
-
Does anyone have any insight into why "The Three Pendejos's" (spanish for moron) are still employed with the Bills. I would like to know who has insight on why the three Ilisted (Modrak-Littman and Overdorf )ares still employed by the Bills.
-The three I've mentioned seem to be a constant for screwing things up:
-Chapter One The Draft- In MODRAK our draft has been below average, you need solid drafts ala Green Bay to find success with a team and location like Buffalo-we have not had that int he last ten years, the common denominator is Modrak (besides the other 2 I mention below) The last ten years drafting in the top 25% of teams and the Bills have done very poorly. why is this guy still around? Anyone guess? If you want to show you turned the page to the future of the orgainization cut this guy loose. Modrak if you read this please resign, the organization clearly has loyalty to you (for what reason who knows)By the way what is your partner in crime John Guy doing for work now ?
-Chaper Two the Terrible Two-Littman and Overdorf. The Bills were a success under Polian and and John Butler, it seems the constant underminers were Littman and Overdorf-they ran 2 of best GM's this team ever had away. Butler has since passed away but hey, how has Polian looked since he left? You guys sure know what you are doing? Kudos!
-The last ten years have been putrid..period! The common denominator is these three, does anyone have ANY idea why they are still employed by the Bills? If someone has some insight I'd like to hear it.
Last thought, The Bills media, you should be swarming with stories about the incompetence of the orgainization and the common demonitors (Terrible Three) in the poor decisions need to be held accountable for the way this orgainization has been run the last ten plus years. To soley blame the coaches and 90 something year old Ralph is not a accurate portrayly of the real problem issues. Although Ralph writes the checks these otehr clowns are pulling the strings. Im not discluding Ralphs incompetent daughter either.
-
Modrak is horrible get rid of him-another remnant from a losing regime
-
Great info-Littman and Overdorf are two morons and Id throw in anoter clown they are keeping around by the name on Modrak. Great job getting rid of Polian afetr he left he made the Colts into one of the most consitent winning orgainizations in the history of the league
-
I will take it farther. Chris Mortenson knows. Just the other day Mort said in his chat that Ralph and his whispers need to let Buddy Nix do his job. I personally contacted Mort through twitter and he wrote me back that there are things going on that he just cant say.
What would be going on that Mort cant talk about?
Littman is Ralph's Son-In-Law. Something smells fishy, maybe someone has their eyes on big money.
What are you trying to say regarding Morts silence??
-
Good Post!
-
I'm not sure I follow that logic...GB's 3rd will be a Late 3rd...Do they have someone else's 3rd?
You right , I meant a second-but Id take a GB 3rd with a possible increase if Lynch performs
Besides the draft class of the most recent draft and Wood, Byrd, Moorman, possibly Levitre/McGee/McKelvin, I think anyone is expendable. I'd like to add Kyle Williams but he doesn't fit the mold for the new D scheme. The Bills have clearly hit rock bottom (but I am afraid to admit they can still sink some more) and have to/are rebuilding. I think Nix and gailey both know this and are just trying to put out the most competitive team they can with the players and talent they have. With a possible lockout looming, unfortunately it's not good business for the Bills to go out and spend tons of money on proven talent via free agency (which they didn't do this past offseason-as we all know). I think they are trying to evaluate and develop whatever talent they have on the roster. Going into this season I thought Edwards was realistically the only possible franchise QB the Bills had. Gailey and Nix needed to know if Trent could turn it around this year and do better. now that we know he can't be a franchise QB, it's time to move on. As much as we'd all like a proven veteran coming in here to salvage anything, it's highly unlikely. The bills should now start Fitz to try to spark the Offense and make the Bills competitive.
Trades will help Stockpile draft picks for next year which will hopefully be used to fill needs. This process is crucial to rebuilding. I don't know why that was not accomplished this past draft, of course unless this is all part of the plan. The Bills don't have many pieces to build a solid team around and this with this past draft it is too early to tell. So in my opinion, almost everyone is expendable.
Good points-clean it up now and lets see what kind of young players we have. Next years draft is crucial the way things are going you cant swing and miss on a top 5 pick...again
-
I have already written this year off-I would consider it a success if we beat the Patriots and thats about it. If we are going to blow it up to rebuild lets do it. I still haevtn given up on Nix or Gailey they were handed what the team has been.
By the way did anyone notice the PRESSURE Eli Manning was under last night, at least he attempted to throw the ball deep on a few occasions, something Trent cant or will not do. The one time he did throw deep this year we got a pass interference penalty-a big positive for the team. If he's not going to go for the win what do you really have to lose by gambling with Fitz or Brohm? I think under a great o-lne Trant can play decently-just not happenin with this O-Lne
Positives-
Next Years Draft-we pick early...very early and we have all our draft picks, none have benn given to other teams via trades
#1) Trade Marshawn
Marshawn is a good solid back, he would certainly help out a team like Green Bay and a 3rd rounder from Green Bay will be almost as good as a late second.
#2) Trade other players (if you can get anything for them) that will be free agents next year-could we get a 4th or a 5th for Donte Whitner-he will be gone anyway next year? Any other players that you think are under utlizied and would bring value? If so id say unload
#3) OT Ed Wang-OLB Danny Batten and WR Marcus Easley will be in camp. Not that any are proven players but all of them got injured in camp and will have a year getting used to the system a bit, hopefully one or two can contribute
On a final note
PLEASE draft or trade for some offensive lineman next year

You're off on a couple, Koscheck was from PA, Hamill is from OH. But you forgot one key one in the world of MMA- Rashad Evans from Niagara Falls(granted he lives in Michigan now).
Just checked Koscheks bio, he taught wrestling at a Catholic School Erie Prep and then spent 1 1/2 years as the assistant wrestling coach at U of Buffalo

True on Hamill but he wrestled at U of R and trains and resides in a smaller town outside of Rochester. I thought Koschek was in upstate for awhile in Highschool-not sure though
-
Offhand outside of Western NY's heyday of years passed (Eastman Kodak etc) Rochester has had Actor: Phillip Seymour Hoffman and John Lithgow (from an earlier post Viggo Mortenson) Model: Tyson Bedford. Western NY is also a hotbed for MMA athletes as Jon Jones, Matt Hamill, Frank Trigg-I think Josh Koschek. Carmen Basilio the "Onion Farmer" also was from Western NY. Lest we forget the awesome Bills supporter in Tim Russert---GO BILLS!!!!

Incredibly ignorant statement.
Just to clarify, I greatly prefer free weights to work out. I do believe in doing core exercises such as bench and squat. I was also strictly taught form and always being in control of the weights, 1003 count on the negatives, explode through the positives, never lock out knees and elbows. I had proper depth of squats hammered into me. I don't worry about the weight, I simply worry about form, control, and high intensity. Increases in weight or reps then take care of themselves.
Putting hundreds of pounds on your back has the potential to be VERY bad for your back, knees. Oh, I know. With proper form your back is fine. Maybe, maybe not. Even with perfect form, you are still compressing your vertebrae, because that's what happens when your body physically has to support hundreds of pounds to allow your muscles to exercise. After you're done maybe your spine decompresses on it's own. Maybe it doesn't. If it doesn't, you've just increased your chances at a pinched nerve or herniated disc. And maybe you don't injure it while squatting but it weakens the area and then you injure it the next day doing something completely different.
There are 2 components to weight lifting: the ability of your muscles to lift the weight, and the ability of your bones, joints, tendons, and ligaments to handle the load of the weight. And as you get older, (I'm 40) there's this little thing called inflammation that you scarcely knew existed in your teens and 20's starts to creep in to your joints even with perfect form . Also, your cartiliage can wear down, your tendons and ligaments lose some strength and elasticity.
I still squat, but if I've not done it awhile I need to do leg extensions, leg curls, and leg press to make sure I can handle the weight and the movement without injuring something or overstretching my ligaments.
Just as an example, I gave up deadlifting at the end of high school. I am 6'2" and have fairly long legs but arms are not that long. While deadlifting, the bar was always knocking my knees on the way up. Taking an extra wide stance to clear the bar hurt my knee joint, leaning out a little farther hurt my back. Ended up leaning out a little farther but decided to give the lift up. Shorter guys who don't have to bend their knees as much probably never have this issue.
Everyone is constructed differently. I mean alignment of muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, nerves can all have subtle alignment differences which can influence the ability to perform a lift (even with perfect form). The length of the arms, legs, the way someone stands, all of this.
There is more than one way to skin a cat. While I agree that core lifts are best, some people's bodies can't handle certain types of lifts even when using perfect form. If that's the case you adjust for core lifts with a series of isolated ones that try to hit all the same muscle groups (and don't completely make up for a good core lift like a squat) but save wear and tear and increase your strength.
That's the crux of Ross Tucker's article (tailoring the workout to the individual) and I obviously agree with him. Those who believe that squats won't or can't hurt your back/knees, well that might be true for some of you but the rest will see the truth in time.
As for Allaire's crew, I can allow them to substitue core lifts for a series of others to save wear and tear on the back, knees, elbows. It's completely unacceptable that they'd allow the players to cheat their workouts.
good information. I only hope the new strength and conditioning coaches hit things suited to each body type. I live in Albuqerque, New Mexico now and its really the hot bed of MMA/UFC training in the world. Alot of the training involves lifting your own body weight, crossfit and core type exercises. Although MMA is very different from football the strength built is functional and would improve performance and reduce injury. I hope the new trainers look at these some of these training options.

I think its a long time coming that New York State actually use some of the tax money on city's like Buffalo. They keep wasting money on New York City and its surrounding areas. Buffalonian's should be outraged that a major portion of their taxes go to support the antics of NYC. They owe Buffalo a stadium.
Agree-All of Western NY should be outraged over the fleecing NY taxes and politics give them

ok ok im learning the etiquette-1st post (probably last) but i will say if we do hire the AZ D coordinator then I stand by my original post Whaley should not be making those types of statements...what people are overlooking is that article that i referred to was removed
