IMO this could be one of those truly exciting moments for the Bills if they can work out the details. It would have to be a Gailey/Reeves hand in hand partnership with both of them on the same page, same methods, etc. The only real possible downside that I can see is that Reeves has been out of the coaching ranks for 6 long years! Not entirely out of the loop as I understand it, but still........

As a couple of other posters are saying, Maybin REALLY doesn't weigh in at 250, and now it's getting doubtful whether he can put on weight and keep it on. Furthermore, as for Schobel, he is an exception to the rule, while Kelsey is a legitimate 261 (and isn't exactly a star, huh?), and Ellis.....while heck, man, Ellis is really a non factor so far, don't you think?

A little confusing, Mesi, but at the end you're saying that we'd only need one OLB and the NT. Hey!! That ain't that much!! There are players, like Wilfork (sp?) available in FA and the draft, fill the 2 spots with one from each source and IMO we've got the making of a heck of a 3-4....especially with Maybin in his NATURAL OLB 3-4 position.

How awful was he in GB, Billy? Just maybe not quite as bad as some of you "know nothings" are pushing for some stupid reason. You know that in the last 3 pre-season games, playing with the super scrubs, he passed for a 70% completion average? Additionally, if you watched the 1 game he played with us, just barely knowing who our 1st team receivers were and having almost no time to look down-field with all the blitzing going on, he looked pretty darned calm out there, threw the ball pretty darned well, and the 2 picks were first, a slightly under-thrown 50 some yard ball in the endzone which the DB made a great play on, and the 2nd was a fabulous pickoff on, again, a slightly under-thrown ball. All in all, Billy, Brohm looked pretty darned comfortable in the pocket considering it was his first NFL start EVER and Atlanta absolutely threw the kitchen sink at him. In short, I think your criticisms are ignorant and unwarranted.

That's mostly the system and training at work.

Really poor post, Vet. Following your logic, anyone the Bills hire is automatically doomed to failure because the hierarchy obviously doesn't know their butt from a hole in the ground. Fuzzy thinking IMO, my friend.

The way I see it, but of course it's becoming apparent that I'm half blind, is that we should know by mid week if Frazier is our guy or not. The Bills should know his interest in signing with us, right? That is whether he will or not. Therefore if we don't interview anyone else in the next few days, or at least firmly schedule an interview, you'd think Frazier is the choice, right? Right? Riiiiiight? Come on, that's right, isn't it? Heck, I don't know any more WHAT'S right!!!

It seems that your last couple of posts have shown that you've been confused to the point where your only answer is to try to convince others that they "don't understand you". Poor guy, you have to understand that NO ONE UNDERSTANDS NONSENSE!

Geez, don't say that, you're scaring the crappola outta me. I gotta say, though, that the way that things have been going, I'd almost be surprised if something didn't come up that we'd lose Mr. Frazier!!

Look, I haven't read on yet, but I felt that I had to comment on your post. You have to understand, zonabb, that no one except idiots is asking Frazier to come in and replicate what he has in Minnesota during his first year with the Bills. The Bills are in a state of disarray (to say the least) and if he could squeak them into the playoffs in 2 or 3 years, we should be delirious. But I digress..... I want to quickly address the "D". We are as good or better than Minn. in the backfield; we have a couple of very good LB's; we have a 1st rd. draft choice that I'm SURE there is a spot for, and a DL player here and there who is serviceable. When you think about it we are lacking a big nasty NG, another quality DE, a good LB, and someone who understands the "D" to have a very good Defense. These things are possible through draft and FA in 2-3 years.

Gotta a question for you, pal. Where do you see anything about OBD in Brown's article? Strictly a journalist making money, gaining sensationalism to draw attention!

The only real possible answer is that Ralph got PO'd at him for the negative comments he made on the Bills a few weeks ago and subsequently gave instructions to Nix that we would NOT interview him. That's really the only logical thing that I can come up with.

Don't waste your picks on QB's, we've got one!

After almost an hour, nothing?? Does that mean there is no one else or no interest??????????????????????????

I have a quick question about the coaching prospects and who to look for today and tomorrow. Arizona at NO…….. …We have Russ Grimm Baltimore at Indy….. …I don’t think we have any candidates, do we? Dallas at Minnesota…..There’s Leslie Frazier and Jason Garrett to watch for Jets at San Diego…….. Ron Rivera Can anyone think of anyone else from these 8 teams to be on the lookout for this weekend as far as viable head coaching prospects go? :unsure:

I've been saying this for a long time, but then again....who the h?ll am I? Anyway......... Yeah, I believe in the 3-4 but with some additions. Of course we'd need additions no matter what we do so anyway here's what I see. DB's......The back 4 or 5 or 6 depending on the situation is relatively set with McGee, McKelvin, Florence, Corner, Byrd, Scott, Wilson, Wendling, whatever....we have enough and are set. LB's...... Throw Maybin in there (yeah yeah yeah, I know, but he's FAST and can learn) with Poz and Mitchell, and we're only short one starter. we have backups aplenty. Line.... After Schobel on one side we're a bit light, but between Stroud, Johnson and Kelsey, they could man the other side while we'd obviously have to come up with a NG. That's only 2 players short to field a respectable 3-4, a LB and a NG. With luck and/or another year, it would be even better!!!

Hmmm.... after reading everything that I can find on Mr. Grimm I get the distinct impression that he will come in for the interview, listen carefully to everything that is said/offered by the Bills hierarchy and then politely yet firmly say those words which we have come to expect; "Thank you very much for the opportunity to be HC of the Buffalo Bills football team, but at the present time I am firmly entrenched in the building of the future success of the Cardinals and I must decline the generous offer." In other words, thanks but no thanks!!

There's ONLY 32 SUCH JOBS ON THE US of A you dumb sh&t, and it pays several millions of US dollars per year. Additionally, it allows for the possibility of building a winner here which would immeasurably add big plus signs to the guy's resume'. Sometimes I wonder if you guys ever make any attempt at all the THINK before you write popular BS that you see other people espouse over and over and over.

I think we're complicating this Cowher thing....simple really. We interview candidates, some more than others because guys like Cowher and Schottenheimer Senior don't need too awful much of an interview, do they? Anyway, we interview and when we're done we categorize and then make offers in order; i.e. 1. Cowher, 2. Schottzie Sr., 3. Schottzie Jr, 4. Harbaugh, 5. Grimm, and on until some FINALLY accepts the da&mn job!!

Does your name, tipster 19, signify that on a normal day you "tip" 19 drinks? Seems like it! Hang in there, pal!

Schottzie....I like his experience, his upbringing, his potential, his bloodline, his successes, his age, potential.... the whole package. Nothing is for sure, but he seems to have what it takes to build on!!

Remember that I'm saying this....... Brohm is as good as Sanchez; whether he ever has the supporting cast and the chance to prove it is an entirely different matter!

Wherein lies the problem.
