/dev/null Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Cowher and CBS Sports colleague Phil Simms were impressed with how Gailey polished Trent Edwards over the summer. Well, the Mythbusters did prove that you really can Polish a Turd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HooperBills Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 man its about time some of the national media started to give the Bills some love!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPS Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 What does Phil Simms know? What does Bill Cowher know? Edwards sucks because he sucks. Gailey should be selling cars. We suck. We're doomed cause Ralph is so cheap. Sorry guys, just summarizing the negative crap posted over the summer. It is nice to read something positive from those who have a clue.

stevestojan Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Sad when the best publicity we've gotten by FAR still includes "Hey, I don't think Buffalo's going to make the playoffs." God damn it. I barely remember what playoff football feels like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Well, I think the praise is nice even if it comes with the big caveat of "I don't think they're going to make the playoffs." To be completely frank, we probably won't this season. Teams with a brand new coach and systems don't usually make the playoffs. Still, as many people have mentioned on the boards here, the difference between this preseason and last years is night and day. We are going in with question marks, true. But we haven't fired our offensive coordinator days before the start of the season, Trent doesn't look like he still has a concussion, our starting RB hasn't been suspended and talent we've waited so long to kick in seems to finall start showing signs of life.

The Senator Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 This season just gets more intriguing to me. Cowher seems to think very highly of Chan Gailey. I don't know how many are aware that Gailey is actually part of the Lou Saban 'coaching tree' - The last time the Bills won a League Championship (1965), Bills head coach... Lou Saban coached a linebacker named... Marty Schottenheimer who, when he was head coach of the Cleveland Browns and then KC Chiefs, hired a special teams coach and then defensive coordinator named... Bill Cowher who, while head coach of the Pittsburg Steelers, for 4 years had a WR coach and then offensive coordinator named... Chan Gailey!!! What does this portend? Is this a good omen? Could perhaps another Buffalo Bills league championship be on the horizon??? 19 and 0 baby!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 You know Senator, For a fellow baby boomer (semi-phogie) like myself, I love that you're not jaded. Like yourself, I look for the silver lining and while I won't turn it into the silver plating on a Lombardi Trophy, I share your optimism and positive outlook. Enjoy the game, brother.

Rockinon Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 That piece by Cower is encouraging. He knows Gailey very well and seems to hold him in very high regard. I believe Cower actually recommended Gailey when we were searching for a coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Anchorage Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Who gives a crap what a burned out former Pittsburgh HC thinks. I suppose we will be wagging our tails at any favorable Jimmy Johnson remarks next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) Who gives a crap what a burned out former Pittsburgh HC thinks. I suppose we will be wagging our tails at any favorable Jimmy Johnson remarks next. Why would ANY Bills fan care what an ex-Dolphins coach thinks???? One of our favorite Doug Flutie stories was when then-Dolphins coach Jimmy Johnson, trying to motivate his team for an upcoming game against the Bills, destroyed a box of Flutie Flakes in front of his team. [insert mental image of Jimmy 'Hairspray' Johnson stomping on a box of cereal, thinking it would inspire his team to win a football game.] When Flutie heard about the incident, his face fell. "That cereal is to benefit autism research," said Flutie, whose son is autistic. "That's like him stomping on my son." Johnson later issued a public apology.

Flutie always has heart. Johnson, well...he got it done on 2 different major levels...but something about him tells me that he's a tad too Dr. Faustus.
