HeyNowBuffalo Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 .. with a questionable offensive line and an immobile quarterback - arguably Buffalo's two biggest weaknessness - is 4-1 with an experienced NFL head coach versus the 0-4 Bills, who hired yet another "up and coming" coordinator?... The Bills should have let another team take a chance on discovering the next great wunderkind, and hired a coach who has been there before...

zow2 Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 If you watch Warner, he is not totally immobile. He's "Tom Brady" Mobile which makes him look like a gazelle compared to Drew. He also knows how to sidestep the rush and buy the extra second or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest_eyedog_* Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 TD can't hire an experienced coach with a strong personality. Because that guy would stand up to him, you know like Cower did in Pitt. And you saw how that played out. He likes to hire first timers who are thankful that TD gave them the job.

zow2 Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Don't even start to judge Mularkey until he has a QB to work with that has a two dimentional game. No coach could win with Drew right now. He's too easy to defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I had Cle-Pit and NYG-Dal on tv here for the 1 PM games. THe Giants line looked pretty good. I paid attention to rookie OG Chris Snee - he showed good hustle and kept most of his blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDH Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I think the Giants are playing well right now because of their EXPERIENCED QB Coach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 When Warner is healthy - which he wasn't the last couple years - he has a very quick release. In that sense, him and Bledsoe are night and day. People have really bad memories. When he was with the Rams, he could stand in the pocket and deliver a strike in the face of pressure like nobody I'd ever seen since maybe Dan Fouts. That's just a good FA pickup by the Giants, and dare I say, he should still be the QB in St. Louis; Bulger's nice comeback today not withstanding.

Rico Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I saw that game, the G-men looked damn good. I've said many times that I wanted Coughlin to coach the Bills, too bad we didn't have a chance to get him. One more thing: based on how Coughlin's turned the Giants around, I'm very glad we didn't hire Fassel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, making an assessment of coaching hires after 5 weeks probably isn't the wisest thing to do. The Giants could tank this season and the Bills could slowly improve. The Giants could get off to a 0-5 start next season and the Bill could get off to a 4-1 start....who would you say was the better coaching hire at that point? Let's see how this plays out for Mularky before we call him a lame duck coach. I know it's been stated before, but Gibbs lost his first 5 games as a head coach and he turned out okay.
