  1. I wondered how long it would take for the Detroit connection to finally come.  First we had the Chicago/Jacksonville connection.  Now we got the Detroit Lions connection.  0:)

    Didn't the Lions finish with the same record.....Since coaching is the biggest

    difference maker in this parity driven NFL, shouldn't we be hiring coaches who

    have had success....

  2. Thanks Lori. CV took a huge step backwards in 05, and it is hard to say why. Age? Declining play of Williams? Injuries? Perhaps a combination of all these factors?

    If Peters started at RT for 10 games along side Villarial, why is Villarials demise

    being blamed on Williams.....

     

    Williams was and is our best RT./....When he was in the game, at least

    McGahee had some room to run......In the 10 games Peters was at RT,

    Willis had 1 100 yard game in the final game (I think).....Now is the lack

    of running game in those 10 games attributed to BAD COACHING or

    Average talent on the right side ?

  3. I expect him to sign with Houston eventually, especially if Sherman accepts the Texans' offer to be their OC. 

     

    Houston has a better upside for burnishing Bate's future HC chances, and a more limited downside than taking the Bills job (if Houston continues to suck, he can blame it on the personnel).  He's probably using the Bills offer as leverage to get more $$$ out of McNair, too.

    I think Sherman is only being considered for the OL coach....Not the OC....

  4. Hey, here's a great idea!  How about we put together some semblance of an offensive line and then let JP Losman play more than 3 games in a row?

     

    Wouldn't that be swell!!

    And have the coache run a balanced offense and the Defense actually play

    some defense....

  5. Ken Whisenhunt imo is another Mike Mularkey in the making except instead of having to work with the likes of Kordell Stewart or tommy maddox he has the benefit of a great young quaterback in Ben Roethlisberger. 

    588430[/snapback]

     

    Actually to be fair to Wisenhunt, he has just started incorporating the trick plays

    into his playbook.....Until the middle of this season (includuing the last season)

    his playbook was pretty simple....Run the Damn ball.....and control the line of

    scrimmage...Get his QB to make the simple throws.....Protect the ball....Play

    SMART Football.......

     

    Once his QB has started to play in his zone, and in sync with WRs/RBs Ken has been

    able to add more trick stuff....

  6. I don't think the Bills are going to say Bates refused their offer, when they never published in the 1st place that an offer was ever made to Bates....

    Probably the crooky professor from ESPN will eventually get around to it....Remember he is from pittsburgh and lives out in Seattle....Probably he is still figuring out which team to support in the superbowl...

  7. Snippet from the article by Mark in Buffalo News...right at the end of the

    article, it says as of Thursday evening, Bates was still undecided....

     

    Meanwhile, the Bills still were waiting to hear if former Green Bay assistant Jim Bates was going to become their defensive coordinator. A representative for Bates said Thursday evening the coach still was "mulling things over."

  8. It seems that if the Bills can't get Bates, they'll surely be able to get Cottrell.  And more than a few places suggest he'd be virtually as good as Bates.  I don't know about that, but I guess it could be worse.

    585043[/snapback]

     

    I don't want TedCotrell running the show here......He has stunk up the joint in

    his last two stints...

  9. Aww yes i forgot to publicly congratulate Jake for not going Old-School Jake and absolutely blowing up in a pressure situation

    585224[/snapback]

     

    Can we give some credit to that Steelers defense and to LeBeau for rebuilding

    a unit that was in shambles after a 5-11 season......They have taken out

    Carson palmer, Peyton Manning and Jake plummer all in their own backyard...

    Give that defense some Props..

  10. Per Channel 7 news.

    585184[/snapback]

    The confusing part about this statement is whether "it is Sam Wyche who is

    not coming back voluntarily" or if the bills HC is not retaining him....

     

    The reason is this hire/fire might have something to do with JPL....If I wanted

    JP to be my QB, then I would rather have continuity with the QB coach tutoring

    him....If Wyche refused the job, because his buddies MM/TC are gone, then it

    is a different story...

     

    I think the Bills should come out and clearly say what their QB plans are. I think

    that puts the other players in the right mind frame to decide whether they want

    to play for the Bills or not.

  11. JP is no longer a rookie. 

     

    Year 1,  (he was injured) he carried the clipboard.  Year 2, he took his lumps and learned through playing and carrying the clipboard.  He's experienced a lot of failure, and a small taste of success.  He's been pulled and he was demoted and reinstated.  He is NOT a freakin rookie anymore.

     

    Year 3...unless he sucks up a storm, or the Bills luck into a bonafide high-level starting NFL QB...he's the man.  Year 3...time to start and produce.

    Wholly Agree....Put a line in front of him, Coaches should practice what they preach....namely, run the damn ball....and the Defense should play what it

    preaches....play solid defense.....Then the QB isssue is a non-factor....

  12. Answer me this - which veteran QB is out there that can come and really help us more than Kelly Holcomb can ? Kitna ? Garcia ? Brunell ?

    I totally agree with Kelso's Helmet & a few others here - give JP a chance to compete. If he wins out the starting job, he will have made great strides towards his own development.

    584741[/snapback]

     

    None of the above.....The only guys I would bring to camp to fight it out would

    be Brad Johnson and Kerry Collins.....

     

    Of course, I would like JP to be our starter.....

     

    I definitely don't want KH or Garcia....There is enough failure from these guys

    to ignore them.....KH is a career backup...he cannot be a franchise saver.....He

    cannot consistently play 16 games and win a majority of them....

  13. ...and he NEVER won the big one.  Big choker that Elway.  Until, of course, he finally won the big one...then another...

    584686[/snapback]

     

    And that took him 10+ years in the league to get it done and only after

    getting a semblance of a running game........Bottom line is the QB cannot

    get it done by himself.......

  14. I like what I saw from him in spot duty last year. He's certainly smart enough, Harvard I believe. Add a 3rd in this particular draft you propose, and I could be swayed. Though, I'm not sure why St Louis would do this.

    584330[/snapback]

     

    Anyone behidn that Rams line anchored by Orlando Pace will look good when

    he gets 4 seconds to throw the ball....and so did Bulger.....Unless we fix the

    line we will never know the true potential of Losman....Losman has to be

    able to build confidence in his line to protect him for 4 seconds....Plus the

    coaches need to keep their promise to Run the ball and the D needs to keep

    its promise to play sound defense......2 thinks this team failed to day from

    game 2 of last season.

  15.       I don't know if Losman is the answer at quarterback, but I really hope that he is and I am pulling for him.  What I do know is that Holcomb is not the answer.  He is a career journeyman quarterback who can give you a good game now and then. 

    582071[/snapback]

     

    Bingo....

  16. I'd love to see Sam stay here as OC.  He'd need to stay in the booth, obviously, which would help with his ability to call the game.  He could have an assistant down on the sidelines, and to help with practices.

     

    Sounds like a plan -- if his health (and heart) are up to it.

    581752[/snapback]

     

    Also, I think that will be the best shot for JP to get a chance to prove to this team.

    I think Wyche believes in this kid.

  17. JP is still a question mark...Don't know if you can give up on him that early especially considreing how MM mismanaged him....

     

    Cotrell built pretty average defenses in NY and Minnesota and got fired....Don't

    bring him for nostaligia

     

    3-4 defense....I don't know whether we have the personnel....Adams has played

    4-3 all his career....don't know if he has the same feel for the 3-4...Also the

    NT has to play really disciplined.....but Adams like to Free Lance, because he

    wants to cause havoc in the backfield...You need a run stopper like a Ted

    Washington at the Nose....And if you do play 3-4, you really need a speedy

    dominating DE to take pressure of the NT....I don't think Kelsay or Schoebel

    are in the same class as a Bruce Smith or even a Aorran smith of the steelers...

    We don't have the dominating LBs to rush the passer in a 3-4 like a Joey Porter.

  18. This draft will have to be amazing, though.

    581034[/snapback]

     

    And making the right choice of the QB will go a long way......

     

    KH is not going to take this team anywhere.....

    JP is still a question mark and we don't know what Juron/Levy opinion on him is.

    Kerry Collins will be a good addition as it brings in a Veteran QB who can

    actually win a ball game and throw deep unlike a KH....But then what happens

    to JP....is he going to sit on the bench or get traded ?

    Other possibilities are Patrick Ramsey, Aaron Brooks or Brad Johnson.....

     

    I think also Moulds is going to make his choice based on who Marv and Dick

    are going to bring to camp at the QB position.
