iinii Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Today on the radio Gregg Williams said when he was in Buffalo he wanted to draft Brees but couldn't and is glad the Bills didn't or he would be stuck in Buffalo. Since I couldn't rip my radio out of my vehicle I will pull for Peyton, what about you guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got the shaft from the front office while he was here. Don't get me wrong, Gregg dug his own grave in many ways (airhorns and the like), but he was just not ready to be a HC quite yet. I know I'm not alone, but I've always thought he'd be a great HC down the line some day in his second go-around. I really believe that. And I don't take that as a dig against Buffalo at all. It IS cold up there. And we've gone 10 years without a playoff birth. Now he's in New Orleans and playing in the Super Bowl. He's not taking the piss. He's just stating facts. If anything, it's a slight at the organization, not the town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grammer_police Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Oh yeah, forgot to mention the obvious inaccuracy: "But instead of having a franchise quarterback fro the next decade, the Bills' starting quarterbacks in 2001 were Alex Van Pelt and Rob Johnson. They traded for Drew Bledsoe the next year and have since called Kelly Holcomb, J.P. Losman, Trent Edwards, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Brian Brohm starters. " So, starting one game due to injury means that we are calling Brohm a starter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 and also keep in mind that in GW's own words, the bills brass were doing what they could to find a trade partner in order to move up to get brees, its not like they didn't do anything...it appears they tried but couldn't find any takers, so its not like we lost brees http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/i...passed-on-brees Direct Quote: "I'm never going to discount again on who's it with.

Since I couldn't rip my radio out of my vehicle I will pull for Peyton, what about you guys? Nah. I don't get worked up when someone in the NFL or among the media say Buffalo is cold. It's not Gregg Williams fault we don't have Brees. If it was up to him and not Donahoe, Brees would be in Buffalo to this day. I'm still going to root for New Orleans.

Lori Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 After two years of getting crushed due to a lack of an offensive line, Drew Brees would have been just another name on your list. There is that, and don't forget that we saw Brees in person in 2002. Williams' defense made him look terrible, and he was benched for Flutie. Since y'all linked to the NFLNation post, not the AFC East one, I'll cut/paste my reply from there: Gregggg Williams, following the NFL combine the year Brees came out:"As coaches, we stood up there in the stands, and we'd check off a negative here and a negative there on each and every player that comes through there. As I watched the quarterbacks work out there this past week, I constantly was looking at who was over there that was better than Rob Johnson ... "We got the right guy for this offense. He can make all the throws." --Shout! magazine, March 2001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he ever makes it big as a HC, I would not be surprised to hear him say a lot of positive things about his experience here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo 66 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Gregg Williams is a coordinator and the reason being, he failed as a head coach! Peyton is going to pick apart his defense, and I will be happy to see him fail once again, hey Gregg! How about looking in the mirror! Maybe it will motivate you to mix in a green salad and to take the stairs instead of the elevator! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
