[closed]3-4 or 4-3 -- let's put it to rest!
billsfan89 replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Mario Williams contract means we will be a base 4-3 team. Not that that's a bad thing but for the next couple of seasons I would say the scheme doesn't really matter as long as its effective. -
Any former WCW wrestler is fine by me

Kyle Williams and calling out Bills effort
billsfan89 replied to Logical Reasoning's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I also think Dareus went through a lot of personal issues that may have regressed his progress, -
Brandon moore could replace Levitre
billsfan89 replied to jcbillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think Levitre is better than Brandon Moore but Moore has been a really good guard for the Jets for the past four years. It wouldn't be too much of a step down. Moore is a more than respectable guard. -
Fitz is done unless he is willing to restructure his deal. I think/hope Levitre stays, but I think Byrd might be a goner just because we only have one franchise tag. I think the offense is going to be similar talent wise outside of Fitz but I think how we scheme and play call is due for a huge change.

Really hope the Bills can get both Levitre and Byrd signed both are important. If I had to choose between the two I would take Levitre. -
Mort: Browns rebooting coach search
billsfan89 replied to Sisyphean Bills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't blame the Browns no reason to rush their search, plenty of candidates out there. -
Realistic Supporting Staff
billsfan89 replied to EmotionallyUnstable's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Would love to see Carmichael come here, guy was a really good OC for the Saints. As far as DC I don't like the idea of Lovie Smith I think having a guy who wants to be HC take over the DC spot would be a mistake. While I wouldn't hate Lovie as DC I would see why they wouldn't want a guy like that. -
Bills hire Doug Marrone to be Head Coach
billsfan89 replied to sven233's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't know what to make of the hire. I am really glad they went with some fresh blood and not a tired retread. Jauron and Gailey were the type of retreads that the Bills were going to get so I think they needed to take a chance. Next step resign Byrd and Levitre (OR us the franchise tag to at least retain one of them) and get a good coordinators and coaching staff to help Marrone. Its easy to hate the hire but I am willing to actually let this one play out before I hate it, as I like the philosophy that went behind it. Its good to see fresh blood, so sick of the second tier retreads. -
Doug Marrone will interview w/Bills
billsfan89 replied to Punch's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Bills have to go wide and far to get coaches, I don't see the harm in an extensive coaching search. -
Pretty much no more second tier retreads.

Who are the active "elite" QB's?
billsfan89 replied to truth on hold's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
B.Rothlisberger E.Manning P.Manning A.Rodgers D.Breese T.Brady That's about 6 all have got a Super Bowl to their name since 2003. I think that they are the elite truly elite. There are some other guys who are pretty good and I think Luck will be joining them soon and RGIII if he stays healthy (A huge if with him) will too. Cam Newton also has potential to be elite but can he put it all together? Matt Ryan and Schuab are good QB's but can they win in the playoffs? P.Manning and Brady are likely gonna be on their way out soon as both are in their mid 30's and subject to decline soon. -
AT this point you gotta roll with younger players who you don't know how they are gonna preform. Easley fits that bill if you ask me esp if your got a guy who is hurt.

Rolando McClain (update - released by Raiders)
billsfan89 replied to FutureBillsGM's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Pass guy seems like a headcase -
Jake Long would be a stud at RT, if the market is really down on him at LT and he is far from commanding LT type money I would give him a nice deal at RT. Pears is decent and Hariston has potential but I think Long would be a pro bowl RT year and year out. Combined with a nice interior OL and Glenn at LT our line would be sick. Its not a great need and I think some team would gladly pay LT money for Long.

Joe Flacco - interested?
billsfan89 replied to DJasper Probincrux III's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
As an outright free agent yes I would consider him a viable option. But to give up a pick for him plus a huge deal I say pass. I would look into drafting a QB or Matt Flynn in Seattle. Flynn has 2 years at 9 million per, he didn't play himself out of a job in Seattle Wilson just took the job from him. Giving up a mid rounder for Flynn would be better than giving up a pick in the first two rounds for Flacco. -
Ugh. I blew it. My bad. I'm optimistic again.
billsfan89 replied to ThurmasThoman's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I am hoping that they just go 3-1 and go 8-8 finish strong and set up a nice end to the season and make it above the Jauron line. -
The guy isn't going to throw his QB and HC under the bus with games still left to play during the season. Nix still wants this team playing hard and buying in. I suspect that Nix is gonna gut a lot of the coaching staff on both sides and that includes Chan. Fitz is up in the air I don't know how the money is on his contract, they may just keep him for one more year in a QB competition sense. But I wouldn't read too much into the comments.

On the plus side... [Mario Williams]
billsfan89 replied to Jim in Anchorage's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Mario was injured all of last season and hurt his wrist this year its possible that he needed time and that wrist procedure to round back into form. I think he has been much better since the Texans game but these last two he has looked like the way Mario Williams should be playing. -
I actually think that the roster is much much better now than it was then its just the coaching is just as terrible. The defense has talent and potential esp on the D-line and in the secondary (Which coming off the Jauron years had almost no talent in the front 7). The O-line is a standout unit far better than what it was under Jauron. The RB situation is still good if not better than what it was under Jauron, the WR's have Stevie and a decent support group of 3 and 4 WR's. Even Chandler at TE is better than what we had at the end of Jauron. It comes down to finding a QB and a coach and fixing a couple of holes on the roster. After Jauron it was an almost complete rebuild outside of the secondary there wasn't a unit on the team that you could say was good. I like to think that the team has much more talent on it that isn't being fulfilled due to the poor coaching.

He is gonna seriously consider taking any HC job offered to him. The Giants D preformed well in the playoffs last year but its been hit or miss both years during the regular season (I think mostly due to their heavy dependence on their D-line to cover for the lack of talent on their D in other areas). Fewell would be a good fit with the personnel we have (D-Line and Secondary have talent) and is familiar with the situation he is going into. Chan has to get the boot after this season and the whole defensive staff too. I am not gonna say Fewell would be the guy I would want but I wouldn't be opposed to hiring him. Considering we don't get the best former HC's I think its best we go the coordinator route and try to strike gold on a guy who is up and coming as opposed to coaches who have had mild success elsewhere and flamed out with good cause.

Andy Reid as Bills next head coach?
billsfan89 replied to superbills315's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No Reid is vastly overrated at this point in his career. He passes non stop and can't commit to a ground game. He is like a better version of Chan. I would rather grab and up and coming guy rather than another retread. -
Johnson and Urbik could be back this week
billsfan89 replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Getting those two guys back would be huge team is getting thin and could use the reinforcements. Glenn can take his time, don't get me wrong I want the guy back but not till he is 100% ready.
