And just what QB has Chan Gailey ever developed?
-
No, because he is rambling and not making any point re: fundamentals and tough guys. C'mon, save that bs.
-
We're putting this incoherent guy against Belicheat*? God help us.

1978 actually. Edward Brooke served 2 terms. I think Brown has said every 5 minutes that he will cast the deciding vote against health care reform. Made the campaign single-issue. If the folks in the People's Republic of Massachusetts can't get on board with health care, the Dems are in for a real bloodbath come November.

What will make you renew the NFL Sunday ticket next year
bills_fan replied to major's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Interesting question. I have had ST for the last decade or so. It is getting ridiculous on a per game basis (I only watch the Bills). Out of the 16 games, I tend to go to 2-3, watch any night games out in a bar (McFaddens), and watch the Jet game (in Buff) on local TV for free. So, at most, I use ST to watch 11 games. Thats $37.63 per game. I was hoping that ST would come on a pay-per-game basis, say $20 a game. I'd save a good chunk of money. I will seriously consider dropping it this year, but probably won't actually drop it. I will try to negotiate a cheaper fee, however. -
Except that team had no less than 5 future Hall of Famers on it when Levy got here.

If Modrak was really overuled in the drafts and now he will be listented to (re: Cushing over Maybin), then there is hope. We will see in the 1st round come April.

I'd like to see Vanderbilt's numbers before I would agree Fla is tops in grad rates. I'll bet Vandy's numbers are pretty damn good.

Our own Tim Graham's take on Bills' search
bills_fan replied to San Jose Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I will only start getting nervous if Grimm turns us down and/or is not offered the job. I'm really feelin' Grimm as HC. And I don't get where this whole *one* interview thing comes from. We interviewed the following guys: Shanahan Fewell Frazier Cowher with Grimm up next. Thats a decent list. -
7/9...missed Tusker and Kingfisher. Knew 5, guessed the other 4.

Jerome Bettis: Cowher waiting for Giants' job

I figured he was waiting to see how Dallas turned out in this year's playoffs. -

Why is everyone so Ga Ga over Grimm?
bills_fan replied to DarthICE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The PIT O-line was pretty badass when he coached them. ARI has had a very good O-line since he and Whisenhut arrived, even utilizing our cast-off Mike Gandy. Coincidentally (or maybe not), both PIT and ARI have been very good teams when he was associated with those organizations. Both went to the SB. Has Minn gone to the SB with Frazier's D? -
B Schottenheimer declines interview

Then we're really fooked. -
B Schottenheimer declines interview
bills_fan replied to FluffHead's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Don't be. When we hire Russ Grimm as HC and you finally see the type of football you've been wanting to see for years (tough, hard-nosed, dominating running game and OL), you will count this day as a blessing. -
Russ Brandon - Is he the problem with our HC search?
bills_fan replied to ColdBlueNorth's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think both Schotty Junior and Cowher are waiting to see what happens in Dallas. -

Best thing that could have happened. Now hire Russ Grimm! -
Why is everyone so Ga Ga over Grimm?
bills_fan replied to DarthICE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I repost my thoughts from another thread. Grimm is a guy I've wanted for a LONG time. Lets start with the obvious: the Bills cannot pick HCs. Lets see who can pick HCs...Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh had 3 finalists for HC..Mike Tomlin, Ken Whisenhut and Grimm. Whisenhut took the Arizona HC job because he was the odd man out. Came down to Grimm vs. Tomlin, Pitt liked both guys and took Tomlin (Rooney Rule?). Since, both Tomlin and Whisenhut have taken their teams to the SB. If the Pitts Steelers, IMHO the best top-to-bottom organization in pro football, considered Grimm to be a finalist for their HC job, I'm not too proud to accept their table scraps for my team. Grimm was mentioned ever earlier (2004, I think) as a candidate for the Bears job, he interviewed, was offered but balked when the Bears mgmt wanted to pick his staff. Grimm would help us build a tough OL with a strong running game, critical elements necessary to win in the Buffalo weather. We have, already, a decent defense that could use another piece or two to help with run-stuffing, but was otherwise outstanding vs. the pass this year. They were also on the field for more plays than any other unit. If we built a strong OL and strong running game, which I believe Grimm would do, it would only give our D more of a chance to be effective as they would be on the field much less. Next, our best WR is a good deep threat, not much more. If we had a good running game, it should open up the bomb for Evans, no matter who is throwing the ball as the safeties come up in run support. Grimm would lessen the need to find the next Jim Kelly (a task we have whiffed at for 13 seasons) and focus on running the ball and defense. Kind of like how the Jets did this year. Thats my hope and why I'm advocating Grimm for HC. -
No SpiderMan 4 -- rebooting the franchise already
bills_fan replied to Fezmid's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Iron Man was fantastic. Hoping Iron Man 2 is just as good. -
Take today's Wall Street Journal back in time and give it to my 1997 self. Profit! Then buy the Bills when Wilson dies (and keep them in Buffalo), spending all my WS cash like Jerry Jones till we win a SB.

Bills seek permission to talk to Schotty Jr.

Unless he brings Daddy to coach the team, forget it. Give me the Grimm reaper! -
From Allen Wilson's chat today
bills_fan replied to dave mcbride's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I figured that type of info was not available in links. But your suggestion that TM was pushing for certain players over others was detailed enough to cause me to wonder. Funny, I thought the Bills organization had opened up a bit since Donahoe left. Donahoe was the one who went all "Captain Queeg" in his final days regarding signs brought by the fans and control of information. Was Guy involved with the draft at all? I don't think so, and believe the draft was a Ralph/Brandon/Jauron/TM show, but could be wrong. Who does TM like this year? Hopefully, a LT prospect.
