    Like life, it was a matter of timing.  Had O'Bannon not worked on Dune, he likely wouldn't have heard about Giger, who created the greatest monster of all time and the reason why Alien has endured for so long (even though I agree that after Aliens, the movies have been bad).  Had Dune not imploded, O'Bannon likely wouldn't have continued to work on the Alien script or hooked up with Ron Shusett, who gave him the idea of the all-important facehugger/chest burster scene (O'Bannon wanted it to come out of his stomach, because he had ulcerative colitis and felt like he was being eaten from the inside out).  And had the script not been passed-over by several directors and landed on the desk of Ridley Scott, a relative nobody at the time but now considered a genius, it wouldn't have been the same stylistically and Giger wouldn't have remained involved because the film company previously fired him for being grotesque.

    O'Bannon made a hilarious college film about outer space call Dark Star. Super low budget and very funny.

    Anyone who has SiriusXM should never listen to Schlep & his lapdog.  It should always be Movin’ the Chains. 
     

    If you don’t have Sirius, sign up today.  

    Pat and Jim are outstanding. The gold standard and better Bills talk than GR.

    If he can't be good enough now...what makes you think there's any chance he's better in January? There's also the numerous failures these past few seasons as well

     

    If we make it to and win the Super Bowl...luck will have been on our side. It won't be due to the coach making the right decisions.

    This I agree with. I'm just thinking that choking time and again might cajole him into better decisions in the moment down the road. 

     

    The ironic part, for all his culture building, they may win it inspite of him. Levy's teams couldn't do it, maybe this one will.

  4. His game management is horrible.  I know they hired someone last season to help, but that hasn't worked so far. They could have won this game. Hopefully it doesn't bite them like the Jacksonville loss did last. Plenty of blame to go around.  It starts at the top. Come January, he has to be better.  Unacceptable for a team this talented.
