Boring really. Hope the Colts win a thriller this evening.

49ers interviewing him for ST Coord: http://www.mercurynews.com/news/ci_14174988

Yep, AZ is done.

Guess Grimm can start looking for deals now. The Cards ain't coming back

Plus Warner looked a bit unsure in that series. Saints geauxing for the kill.

I will not get the warm fuzzies going into the season with bell and ?? at RT. No way. There is no getting around the fact that we need to add significant talent at both tackle spots. We should draft a QB high only if we have already addressed these needs in FA or are confident of getting the players we need later in the draft. Alternately, I think we should spend all our top picks (trade down if need be) to get tackles and LB. I will be happier with a serviceable QB (with an excellent OL) this year than a serviceable OL. We have been going into the past several seasons hoping things work out with the OL and we all know how that has turned out. Perhaps Bell becomes a very good LT but I cannot see us going into the season with that hope.

Me too.

Congratulations. You, Trent is Unstoppable and DarthICE form an elite and (thankfully) tiny group of people 'Most unlikely to Succeed as Translators'

Why not ?

Because the guy, in general, cannot make decisions.

These kind of tweets aren't even funny anymore.

"I wouldn't be surprised" = I really don't know for sure and am speculating cos I sure as hell am hoping he stays. I like the QB development aspect - been a while here in Buffalo.

This may blow up badly in the franchise's face. Batman and Bond did terrific re-boots. But doing the same to Spiderman so quickly may not work - the writer and director better think long and hard about bringing something unique to the reboot. For the record, the only Spidey movie I enjoyed was the second one, could barely sit through the other two.

What's your point ?

I think he is a great option to consider. Also, no coach has one the big one with two teams (I think that is a fact). He has never won one so that makes him more qualified over Billick, Cowher. Also, he has not been to the playoffs so he will be hungry to get there (Beef on Weck not withstanding). I am all for it. Next stop for the private jet is Oakland - is someone on the flight tracker yet?

That's what the official thought too when he saw it on the field. Hence, the non-flag.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained

I am late to this thread, but that was a bone-headed non-challenge. There was sufficient evidence for that call to be over-turned. Hope it doesn't come back to bite the Ravens

'Cower' would be more appropriate

FWIW, a head coach needs to do a lot of things such as game planning, personnel development, in game decisions, choosing key plays etc. That need not be told to anyone on this board. I just don't see Cowher consistently beating a Belicheck coached team. We have been getting our rears handed to us by BB for years now. We need someone who has gone against the best and planned plus had his team ready to beat the likes of BB. Seeing what Cowher did in Pittsburgh seems entirely underwhelming in most of the above aspects. I just fervently hope that Nix has the good sense to abandon the pursuit of Cowher, if indeed one is on-going. That would be the preferred outcome as it will show Nix's savvy. The other option is Cowher refuses to come here which, while won't speak to the new FO's skills, will still be better than if he really did come on board.

Neither am I. Very strongly so. As I discovered yesterday, so is Simon. So no you are certainly not alone but as someone else said, we are in a minority. The guy does not add much by way of being a HC. He needed a loaded roster and Dick Lebeau's defense to help him win ONE. And that was inspite of him being a HC - not because of him. All he had to do was get out of the way and let the above factors take his team to a victory. A better coach would have won more superbowls for the Steelers.

How about Marty as HC Weis as OC Mangini as DC (assuming he is let go by the Browns)

So I take it you will share in the cost of my black paint can ?

Good luck to your efforts. My earlier post was not meant to crap on your thread nor as a flame. I vehemently oppose hiring Cowher as a HC and wanted to voice my disapproval of his credentials. As a fan, you are welcome to display said board ofcourse and I applaud the passion you show. For the good of the team, IMHO, I hope he is not hired and your efforts are unsuccessful.

No offense to your efforts, but I will pay for a black paint can to write over your message.
