SF Bills Fan

Unfortunately for Reed, the Super Bowl games were bad games for him. Remember his tantrum and thrown helmet that took us out of field goal range in the Redskins game? The drop on 3rd and short over the middle after the sack/safety against the Giants? I still swear we would have won the game had we sustained that drive. These all weigh heavily agianst him. If we had beat the Giants, he would be in.

My buddy who played for a number of teams including the Jets, Redskins and Browns said Buffalo and Cleveland were his least favorite NFL cities. In fairness to Buffalo, he said when he was there, they stayed at a hotel in the middle of nowhere and they never left except when they went to the stadium. He never went out because he didnt know where to go and had noone to show him around town. I would imagine that is the same experience most NFL players have in Buffalo. When they go to places like chicago or Atlanta and the stadium is downtown, it is probably far more exciting to be on the road.

This is no diss.

The team ha not been successful for over a decade, Buffalo has a bad national image and the weather isn't great and there are limited nightlife opportunities for these millionaires. I'm not surprised. For every Steve Tasker, there are 5 McGahees that dislike Buffalo. Who cares? I remember a few years back when the same type of poll for the NHL had Buffalo as the worst place to play. Now that pissed me off.

What a meltdown tonight.

Yawn

There would be room for team in Toronto and Buffalo. There are many Sabres fans in Southern Ontario that are not Leafs fans. The people that are Bills fans wouls stay that way and I would imagine there are alot. Nothing would change except there would be 8 games in buffalo again. The tailgating would be so lame up there, people would still want that kind of experience. I think the Rams are headed back to their original home with a second team- probably the Jags- joining them. At most, the Bills will play a 2nd or 3rd game in Toronto, but they would not move there permanently. .

This is exactly what I thought would happen. It corrects an injustice. Georgia Frontiere moved the team because she was givin a new stadium and many incentives. she should never have been allowed. So the Rams returning is fine and they will be supported. I can still see the Jags moving there as they want an AFC and NFC team. I never thought LA was a threat to us. I see us giving another game or maybe two to Toronto, but I believe the Bills will never go there full time. San Antonio and Vegas will not get teams anytime soon or maybe ever.

This would be so great. Reeves would be assistant OC with a lot of clout and input

I think this is a strong possibility. Given Chan's strength at developing QB's this would make a lot of sense.

This just doesn't seem to be an imaginative hire when the situation really calls for a fresh approach. I just don't think we have upgraded from what we just got rid of. It is so uninspired. Budday Nix and Chan Gailey might have been exciting 20 years ago.

Might as well just give up football.

Here is the last entry for him in Wikipedia: (2008-present) Gailey was hired on January 16, 2008 to become the offensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs. Gailey inherited a Chiefs offense that ranked at the bottom of the league in almost every category the previous season.[13] He was demoted after three pre-season games in 2009 and relieved of playcalling duties by head coach Todd Haley.[14] Any one else feeling underwhelmed here? Why not Rich Kotite or Bud Carson?

It is very odd that the Bay Area media has said zero on this. Not a peep outside of a little blurb Saturday that just reported on the story being reported. They would normally say something. The football writers out here are all in touch and well connected and respected around the league. They would say something. Also, here is the Stanford site: http://www.gostanford.com/sports/m-footbl/...ootbl-body.html Not one word about this. Don't you think that if an NFL team came calling and tried to poach your HC it would merit some notice or comment? This just seems very odd.

The Jets look tough. I could see them getting by the Colts. Oddly, I'm alright with it. The Jets are not a team of stars. They are the wedding crashers. They are just getting it done with good solid football. People hate Rex Ryan, but he is a good coach. He has got the kind of enthusiasm I hope the next Bills coach has.

I don't think high paid NFL palyers would go for Leach's style. He uses humiliation to teach lessons and that works in college but not at a level where guys are paid millions and are used to getting coddled to a degree.

I had no idea he was interviewed. I live in the Bay Area and that kind of thing would have made the news out here. It must have been super down low. I wonder if it wasn't just an invite to interview? Harbaugh might have made a good coach. He get his day i nthe NFL if he keeps up his current record of success. I do agree that his decision to stay speaks volumes of his character. He didn't pull a Kiffin or a Saban. I liked him when he played in the NFL and he is well regarded out here in the Bay Area for how he turned Stanford around.

Grimm still might not want to interview with us, but I think we may not necessarily want him.

Some guys might be worried that if they take the job and fail, they will hurt their long term chances. My thinking is that some of these guys have to relaize that you might never get another shot at the top. This is your one shot at the golden ticket. The guy that comes in and proves to be a success will be a king in Buffalo and have great opportunities in the future.

Does Cowher figure into this in any way?

Agreed. If the Cowboys lose, Wade is a goner. Jerry has had plenty of patience with him, as much patience as Jerry is capable of at least. Jerry has to be a little nervous seeing Shannahan in DC and I bet he is starting to consider what other options are out there. Belichick will never get fired anytime soon or probably never. Kraft would look like an ungrateful idiot if he tried it. Reid has survived and I think will make it through even with a Philly loss tomorrow. Outside of Wade, I see everyone as being safe.

I am starting to believe that there is some deal that is in place to keep the team right where it is. Whether it is Jim Kelly and a group of deep pockets or the Jacobs. I just think that Ralph Wilson doesn't like to talk about it anymore than you or I would like to publicly talk about life after we pass on. The way Jim Kelly talks confidently about the team going nowhere and is really starting to get much more vocal in his opinions leads me to believe he knows something. I am sure any deal is being kept under strict lock and key. Just musing, of course.

Agreed. Given Ralph's wacky ways he may have hired Al Pacino based on Any Given Sunday .

I'm amassing a bunch of booze to drink myself to death or merely happy oblivion.
