Bills hire Doug Marrone to be Head Coach
KOKBILLS replied to sven233's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Credibility rating with that statement falls to 0.000... And I'm not even saying I love the Marrone choice...But Dead Dick Jauron?...0.00... -

I'll say this much, after the beginning of Brandon's Presser had he simply said Buddy will stay on through the 2013 Draft, then introduced David Caldwell as The Bills new GM, it would have gone a long, long way in proving The Bills were now a progressive, forward thinking Franchise...But Brandon said all those great things then backed his 72 year old GM big time...It sent a major mixed message...At least it did to me...Hopefully that's not the same message they are conveying to Kelly...We'll see... -

Chip Kelly HC! (possibly for the Browns)
KOKBILLS replied to 13player's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I know Cleveland is heading in a whole new direction with their Franchise, and I think it's a good direction...But so are the Bills (minus Nix who I hope is not a freaking Albatross)...And I can't help but think that Kelly is looking at both these opportunities VERY closely...Because, again, he knows no matter what that Contract says if he does not show promise and win quickly all the hype in the world is not going to save him from his critics who believe he can't do the job in the NFL... So what I'm getting at is this...On paper, Roster-wise...The Bills hold up pretty well vs. The Browns...As bad as The Bills were at times last Season they went to Cleveland and thumped them pretty easily...Overall talent on Offense is heavily in The Bills favor IMHO...Especially if they get a decent QB...Cleveland's Defense was certainly better on the field than The Bills in 2012...But can anyone say they have definitively better talent on Defense? Cleveland Picks 6th, the Bills pick 8th...Cleveland has newer facilities...I'm certain the money is going to be about equal...etc, etc... It all comes down to what Kelly sees as being his best opportunity to win, and win fast,,,And it could very well be Cleveland...But like I said before it's not exactly clear-cut...These two Franchises are in similar places...What if Kelly loves Spiller and Stevie? You never know... -
But seriously, without going overboard, I do think Wilson will see a steady rise leading up to the Draft...The kid just got boned by his douche of a HC (Petrino) and it cost him big-time in his Sr year...If he has good workouts, he'll rise up mostly because of the many questions with the other prospects in this Draft...

I am no big Barkley fan...That much is on record...But this stuff about being a Sanchez clone? Come on...There has to be better ways to say you don't like him...They are not the same person...

Just my opinion...But I think this shows Kelly is pretty sharp...If he's really want to maximize his chances for success, it's wise to fully understand all his options...I'm not saying that Cleveland is not the best option with what they have planned...But it's not exactly crystal clear...The NFL does not give Head Coaches much time if they don't show real promise, no matter who they are...There's a lot at stake here for Kelly...He has his share of critics and he knows it...Why not hear what Philly and Buffalo have planned for him before he makes the biggest decision of his career so far?...It can't hurt... -

Seriously...If they hire Grimm I'm out...I've never said that before, and hopefully I'll never say it again...But Grimm is my breaking point...I just can't do it... -

Exactly correct...It's not like Kansas St is the Sisters Of The Poor...Oregon was clearly better in all phases...And I was pretty impressed with their Defense, which rarely gets talked about... -
Are we already assuming some of the other names mentioned (not necessarily interviewed yet) like Russ Grimm, Jim Hazlett, and Hue Jackson are out of the running? Because I definitely do not want one of those guys... I'd rather not have Lovie or Whisenhunt to be honest...Just don't want a guy that was just fired...No real reason...

Whatever...OK...That's really far from the point of my post...I was responding to a post that was basically saying that because the Bills Coaches were not being mentioned for open Coaching Positions right now that meant the rest of the NFL was of the belief that The Bills problems were mainly Coaching not talent...And I'm not saying Coaching was not a problem...I'm just saying it was not all of the problem...The talent Buddy brought in was a big part of it too...That's all... -

I'm not hearing anything about a bunch of Coaches that were let go Monday...Smith and Whisenhunt have been to Super Bowls as Head Coaches...Otherwise you would not hear their names either...I do agree that The Bills job is more attractive than some due to the overall talent...But is that really saying as much about The Bills talent, or is it equally because of the lack of talent on these other teams overall? I do realize that Russ and Buddy, through their actions so far, are hard selling the fact that The Bills woes were mainly due to Coaching ineptitude...I'm just not buying it the way some are...15 Draft Picks in in 3 years on Defense, 12 still on the 2012 Roster, and the best they could do is historically bad? No way that's ALL Coaching...No way...Partly Coaching? No question...But Buddy was equally responsible...And he's going to be running the 2013 Draft so...Good luck Bills fans...They better get the next Belichick if Buddy stays around... -
Who do you want to win the Super Bowl?

Indy...But if not Indy Denver...I would not mind seeing The Packers win either...I'm a huge Charles Woodson and Clay Matthews fan...Randall Cobb and James Jones did well for me in Fantasy this year... -
Russ Brandon named President/CEO
KOKBILLS replied to Wagon Circler's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Exactly correct John... The QB situation is just the easy way to judge Nix as a GM because it was the most obvious, and damaging flaw in his 3 year tenure... But 15 Draft Picks over 3 years, Mario Williams, and Mark Anderson for a Defense that finished historically bad...Historically bad...Coaching alone cannot crate historically bad...15 Draft Picks and not one difference maker yet...Add that to the QB blunders, and you've got the most blessed old school scout in the history of the NFL...Blessed that he still has a job, and a boss that seems to be completely snowed by his bullcrap shtick... -

KOKBILLS replied to Wagon Circler's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm interested where you got that idea out of these quotes... " Buddy Nix is our General Manager. Buddy Nix will run the football operation much like he has run it for the last three years... " "I am going to be real clear about one thing because I know you are going to ask it. I will not be drafting people. I will not be making the final decision on a free agent. I will empower the general manager, Buddy Nix, to do that. Do I have final authority and say? Yes. That is what Buddy Nix, the general manager, does. He identifies personnel. He runs that side of our operation. OK? " Sounds to me like Brandon does not want much to do with the Football side...he said so...And he's leaving an old school scout in charge of that side again...Because in Brandon's own opinion there is not anyone more qualified than Buddy...He said it (in so many words)...Not me... -

KOKBILLS replied to Wagon Circler's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's Buddy's job, as a self-proclaimed old school scouting guru, to know better than the other GM's...To see what others may not see...If you're saying Buddy is off the hook because he was inline with everyone else who misjudged Wilson's potential, then at the very least, I want the guy would did properly evaluate him as my GM... Not Buddy...I just don't get why some folks refuse to hold this guy to the standard that he is so quick to tell us all he should be held to...If he's such a great talent evaluator, how the f*** did he not know that the kid could still play at a high level at 5-11?...By the time the Bills were Drafting in the 3rd Round, if you have evaluated the kid properly, it's an absolute no-brainer...It's a 3rd Round Pick...If it was a 1st Round Pick I would agree, it's a tough call...But a 3rd Round Pick knowing Fitz is really your only viable option at QB???...Like I said...Should be a no-brainer for one of the single best football scouts on the earth...Or maybe he's not? Maybe? -

KOKBILLS replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
There is almost nothing about Lovie Smith, outside of the report that he would like to come here, that excites me about the guy...I just can't muster anything for him...But I don't think he's the worst option...And from what I can tell in comparison to Jauron, Lovie seems to at least have a pulse... -

I hear what you're saying...And I don't disagree...I have heard that Kelly is well aware of the fact that he's not going to be able to do the same thing in the NFL...By all accounts he's a sharp, super-innovative, forward-minded Coach...He intrigues me no question...But I do understand the deck will be stacked against him a bit...I'm to the point with this Franchise that I'd rather give a guy like Kelly a shot than have a re-tread...I'm not basing that on anything other than my gut...Which is mostly useless...
