  1. Here's how I responded to this story on Facebook, keeping it simple for the non-football crowd: Brian Flores & his lawyers are a bunch of idiots-they deserve each other! Flores is a great coach , in his own mind, but on the sidelines he's not very good. I've seen his teams quit on him numerous times (see what happens whenever they played the Buffalo Bills). Here's what the interview process was like. Houston: Brian, how did you lose the 2020 seaaon finale 56-26 to a bunch of 2nd & 3rd stringers? It looks like your team ran for the bus & you were the driver. Flores: Humina, Humina, Humina. Brian, you never made the playoffs. Flores Humina, Humina, Humina. Lovie Smith: I'll start this interview with this: I got the Chicago Bears into the Super Bowl. Mike drop, Lovie hired. Actually Flores did have a hand in Lovie getting the job: If Flores didn't put pressure on Houston & the NFL, the Texans would have hired the guy they really wanted to be their coach-Josh McCown, a recently retired QB with no pro or college coaching experience. After Flores lawsuit, the Texans couldn't get away with that & instead decided to promote their DC who has a long resume, including that Super Bowl appearance, and nobody except Flores and his lawyers can question Lovie Smith's qualifications.
  2. This may not be the case, but it's not impossible: Murray has made enough money to be financially secure for life already. Say he's just not into football, the hits, injury potential etc, but loves playing baseball. So, now that he's set himself up for the rest of his life, he wants to pursue his real dream-MLB. Even if he fails he doesn't care because he's already pocketed millions of dollars doing something he doesn't really like. Not everyone looks at the financial advantages when they choose to switch jobs. How much money is enough? If he can make a few more million playing baseball maybe he doesn't care about leaving mega millions on the NFL field while attaining happiness on a baseball field. It's not like he'd be going from the NFL to a minimum wage job.
  3. Not only did Davis jump from our practice squad to the Giants, but Daboll also took the Scottish Hammer Jamie Gillan as well. So much for the Hammer being competition for Haack.
  4. If Davis Webb wasn't a coach in waiting, he'd already be flipping burgers.
  5. Let the rumors start that he's going back to baseball. https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/nfl/cardinals/2022/02/07/kyler-murray-unfollows-cardinals-social-media-scrubs-photos/6689468001/
  6. They've regretted cutting him & now see the error of their ways. Plus, he's an upgrade from Glennon, Fromm & Lewerke.
  7. When are we going to have another one?
  8. The guy I picked, Shea Tierney already went to the Giants after my prediction. What do I win? I bet the game outright instead of squares. Rams -3.5 and a free bet that I chose the Rams to win the Super Bowl (no points)for +210 before the championship games. When I went to the 4 Bills Super Bowls and they were selling squares in the lobby at work I used to tell them "Be there or be square-I'm going to be there so I don't need a square."
  9. Considering his age, if you're going to build a house somewhere, chances are you plan on living there post career. I guess his dream is to become a country singer.
  10. Cousineau left Canada after the 1981 season, wanting to play in the NFL in 1982. He signed an offer sheet with Houston, but the Bills matched, since they maintained his rights because he had signed with another football league (unlike Bo Jackson a few years later who signed a baseball contract & went back into the draft the next year). They then traded Cousineau for multiple picks including the 14th pick in the 1st round of the 1983 draft used to select Jim Kelly.
  11. We lost Cousineau in 1979, before Knox's 2nd year as Bills head coach. Knox was really POd about that and even though he coached the Bills 4 more seasons, it was the beginning of the end of Knox's losing patience with Ralph.
  12. Amazingly (probably due to Ralph's unwillingness to pay top dollar to an unproven head coach, which basically excluded the most coveted assistant coaches) McDermott is the 1st coach hired by the Bills for his 1st pro coaching job that succeeded. All the rest failed. The only truly successful Bills coaches were all retreads who had previously coached in the AFL or NFL. Saban had coached the Boston Patriots, Knox the L.A. Rams, Levy the K.C. Chiefs & Phillips the Denver Broncos. No other coach beyond McDermott & these 4 ever finished above 500 as a Bills head coach. Now the Bills have also failed with retreads, again due to Ralph's low salary structure. The only time Ralph ever paid top dollar to bring in a head coach was when Chuck Knox came over from the Rams & by the end Ralph had alienated Knox with his cheapness including being the only NFL team in league history to lose the number 1 overall pick of the NFL draft to the CFL. When we older fans say Ralph was cheap, it's not just a funny phrase. We endured many seasons as league laughingstocks due to Ralph's unwillingness to spend unless he was backed into a corner with around 20-30,000 fans in the stands.
  13. He's driving some of our assistants away and down to NJ from OP and he needs to stop loading up his truck with Bills assistants.
  14. As long as they keep their uniforms on I don't care. None of this shirts vs skins stuff like Antonio Brown pulled at Met-Life stadium.
  15. Is that how they're going to get around the Rooney rule? Just hire some white guy and don't call him the OC, Belichick-always finding a way to bend the rules.
  16. I think the Bills have discouraged layups ever since Nate Odoms got injured playing basketball.
  17. I just saw Hue Jackson on CNN. He claims the Browns got rid of players as part of a tanking plan. He keeps saying he was against that & even complained to Goodell. He lost me when he claimed it was racist to be able to try to win with what they left him. What part of a rebuild doesn't he understand? What did he expect when he signed with Cleveland and had Josh McCown as his QB with Cody Kessler and Charlie Whitehurst? Then the next year he had Kizer, Hogan & Kessler as his QBs. Funny, I remember the 2017 Bills who also gutted the team. They were a little better at QB with Taylor, but they also had Peterman & Webb on the depth chart. The roster wasn't very good & they made the playoffs. I've had a pretty low opinion of Jackson ever since the Browns were on Hard Knocks & just about everyone who watched it was left wondering: How is this guy a head coach in the NFL? I thought he got a raw deal in Oakland, but once I saw him on Hard Knocks I understood why he was 1 & done with the Raiders.
  18. Maybe he wants to be Rex Ryan's neighbor.
  19. This adds another reason why home field is so big in the Super Bowl this year. I've said all season that if a LA team makes the Super Bowl they'll win it.
  20. 2018, I saw Derek Anderson in the video.
  21. It's on Twitter by WGR . It's dated prior to the draft because that was the whole point of the Tweet & what they put on the air. If you're so interested in being proven wrong, which I'm 100% certain you are, look it up yourself. I'm not wasting my time because you're ignorant of the facts. I already attached the photo.
  22. Agree: The 2 Super Bowl head coaches are 38 & 36.
  23. The following teams have no viable starting QB: Tampa Bay Pittsburgh New Orleans Carolina Denver Now some will trade for or draft a QB, but if Mitch wants to come in as a starter, these 5 teams are his best shot as of today. Then there are teams that might be looking for competition at the starter's job: Houston Indianapolis Detroit Washington NYG (although Daboll has SAID he believes in D. Jones)
  24. You're dead wrong! It was NEVER debunked. It was from WGR. It was not a rumor. I have the photograph of their board below. The original Tweet, produced BEFORE the draft also included the employee's credentials that proved he worked there. It even has the trade with Denver which has been confirmed by Beane among others. There were plenty of reports that the Bills wanted Josh before the draft with many mock drafts having us trading up for Josh. Why would Beane ever say who was #1 on their board in public. All that would be is bragging, something Beane doesn't usually do. It would also be disrespectful to the guys lower on the board, another thing Beane doesn't do.
  25. No he wasn't, Josh was. The order from the pre draft photo taken from inside the Bills offices released to WGR was: Allen, Darnold, Mayfield, Rosen, Rudolph & Lauletta.
