Norv Turner (no longer) a possibility at OC per Mike Silver
FLFan replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I would certainly expect the Bills would have to up the ante, but hey, it's not my money so go for it. Beyond that who knows what his motivations might be. For me, it would feel like returning home with my tail between my legs to go back to Denver. I think it depends on just how proud, and just how career motivated he continues to be. Denver could be seen as the easy decision, but somewhere else could well be the best career move. I think he is too young to give up on career aspirations which would put Denver at a disadvantage to me. I think much depends on what discussion McDermott and the Bills had regarding the QB situation and plan, something we are not, and likely never will be, privy to. -
I think it is a bit early to make that conclusion. How about we actually see the guy play first?

The new jw Tweets 1/11 - Questions on Whaley & TT
FLFan replied to Reed83HOF's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Exactly. No doubt throwing the little tidbits out here and there helps create interest for an upcoming article - can't blame him for that - but he is always careful to be right before throwing out the story. For too many of these tweeters, the 140 characters is the story, with no need to go further. Sloppy, lazy, and all too accepted anymore. -
McDermott hire further diminishes Whaley
FLFan replied to bobobonators's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Same here. I immediately hated myself. -
Norv Turner (no longer) a possibility at OC per Mike Silver
FLFan replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Agree with all of this. The thought of Norv as OC makes me physically ill. This guy needs to retire already. I would rather see them stick with Lynn before Norv. (Assuming McCoy goes elsewhere which is certainly not a done deal) I am not a big fan of Lynn either, but he would be a better option for the Bills than Turner in my opinion. -
Bills Hire Sean McDermott as New Head Coach
FLFan replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You are giving this poster too much credit assuming he actually has a real point. -
The new jw Tweets 1/11 - Questions on Whaley & TT
FLFan replied to Reed83HOF's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yes, that is frustrating, but unlike the useless LaConfoa, JW actually prefers to have actual verifiable sources before putting his name on a news item. I respect him for this. -

FLFan replied to bobobonators's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well, that did not take long. I am so sick of the nitwits at the Buffalo News. -
It was a nice try, but not going to happen. He will continue to post the same opinion over and over in every thread opened, just in case you missed it.

McDermott New HC per JLaCan - new jw tweets re: Whaley & TT
FLFan replied to Reed83HOF's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well, actually, many of those long passes Fitz completed were very well covered and were in perfect places for the receivers to make plays and they did. I am not trying to say the D overall could not have been better, but that was a lightening in a bottle game for Fitz. -
McDermott emerging as favorite in coaching search...
FLFan replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
O'Brien is Doug Marrone 2.0. He has badly underperformed on offense with great defense, failing repeatedly with QB decisions. Not that he builds the roster, but he decides who will play and certainly has input. Their personalities are virtually identical. No thanks. -
I don't have a source but I remember from the last search that McDaniels turned down an interview request from the Bills. Probably did not sit well. Some may remember that when coach of Denver he was an arrogant douche. Not a surprise coming out of the Pats. Also, by the way, Shanahan did interview with the Bills last time. I suspect if that experience was positive they would be interviewing him again, but apparently not.

Sully: Bills aren't exactly doing a coaching star search
FLFan replied to Rico's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I kind of thought they might interview Wade. That would be interesting. Maybe they tried. Shanahan interviewed in the last search. Reports are that it did not go well. I suspect it is mutual disinterest at this point and I am ok with that. Personally, I would not be in favor of McDaniels. I do not think he will be able to stand up on his own, just like last time. Patricia is intriguing, but in general the track record of ex Pats coaches is not good. -
Browns fire Ray Horton to hire Greggggg
FLFan replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
gregg Williams? Now that's funny. I know funny, and that's funny. -
Exactly. No identity at all. Sometimes they were aggressive, sometimes passive. More often than not, especially down the stretch, the scheme was so conservative you felt like they were just afraid. The steelers game comes to mind, especially in the second half, but there were plenty of examples. You were really afraid Matt Moore was going to beat you so you played max coverage and rushed 3? Really? Rediculous. I would be extremely pissed if I were a member of that defense.

Schefter says decision is made - Tyrod is gone
FLFan replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Amen brother. -
Schefter says decision is made - Tyrod is gone
FLFan replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not definitive at all. Pure speculation. -
The Skins press release states that four assistants have been fired, including Barry, the D.C., and Perry Fewell. It was a LaConfora tweet that suggest the entire staff would be fired. Wrong again. They may eventually be when they select a new D.C. But not so far.

Carucci: Lynn is having 2nd Thoughts about Bills' HC Job
FLFan replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Maybe because he is following up his comments based on unsourced garbage with more unsourced comments that take a 180. Might this make someone question his credibility? He is not a reporter anymore, just another twitter whore. -
Jim Kelly on espn about our situation 1/4
FLFan replied to The Tomcat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I agree - no coincidence. He would not have trashed the Bills QB on national media unless that was some sort of directed messaging. Sounds like they are preparing to move on. -
Many Skins fans here in the DC area have soured on Cousins. He can definitely sling the ball and throws for lots of yards. He also has a tendency to make big mistakes at critical times and he is criticized here for not being able to win in the clutch. (Sound familiar). I am not a fan of his either, both for cost and his limitations. Watson does not look like an NFL QB to me, although admittedly I am no expert. He looks to me like a good college system QB who does not demonstrate the accuracy or decision making for the next level. Perhaps he can learn, but he is a project with a high bust potential. People seem to be high on Trubisky, and if the Bills were, and they decided to go all in on moving up far enough to get him, I would be OK with that, especially if they move on from Tyrod.
-
I certainly did not see any reason to give up on him. I think the best hope for him all along would be that he is ready to assume a primary back up role by training camp next year. Should be possible if they get him some decent coaching in the offseason. I am also of the opinion that the Bills should stick with Tyrod one more year while continuing (starting ?) to evaluate other alternatives, including the draft. It is really beginning to look to me though that they are preparing to cut Tyrod loose. Given Jim Kelly's role with the team, I would not be surprised if his comments on Tyrod were a directed trial balloon.

Bills Hire Sean McDermott as New Head Coach
FLFan replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Anyone who believes the owner of a billion dollar business would not be involved in selection of one the most important positions in the organization is seriously delusional. -
Carucci: Lynn is having 2nd Thoughts about Bills' HC Job
FLFan replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I do not put much stock in anything Carucci has to say anymore. He has reverted to innuendo, retweets and rumors as his sources. In other words, standard TBN. Pretty clear he and the others there have their panties in a wad over denied access and are crusading. Clear to me anyway.
