The HELL with the coaching search...
USABuffaloFan replied to Solomon Grundy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
CAN'T TALK WHAT PLAYER FITS THE BILLS TILL WE KNOW WHO THE COACH IS!!!!!! Player and schemes matter with most selections. -
Hey! What about Mike Sherman?
USABuffaloFan replied to Bring Back Kelly's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Responses like these are why I often stop looking at these pages. Get real. Sherman could be a viable option with HC experience . Not sure I would go there unless Billick or someone else with experience wasn't available. Shanahan didn't want the job, if Cohwer doesn't want it, offer it to Billick. Billick won his Superbowl with Trent Dilfer, who will never be confused as a "great" QB. I would then go to Marty Shottenhiemer, Fassel, Martz, then maybe Sherman. -
I wrote this piece not to bash Ralph Wilson for giving us the Buffalo Bills. The fact remains that Ralph is 91 years old. Most companies are not run by 91 year old men. Ralph can and will do what he wants but he is watching his franchise become the joke of the NFL. Only the Detroit Lions have been a bigger failure if going to the playoffs even matter to anyone who responded negatively to this email. I have contributed alot in NY income tax, sales tax, Bills seats over the years. I have a right when my money was used to build this franchise to say what I feel. Ralph is no longer a viable NFL owner. ten years ago if Ralph called up coach's to come for a interview with no other job opennings they would have all come. Now even coordinators are turning us down. There are only 32 NFL coaching jobs, you don't turn down interviews for them unless something is really percieved wrong with that franchise. Fine, Ralph keep the damn franchise, run it to the ground. LA is waiting to move it when your gone with 1billion to show for it.

I have always liked Ralph Wilson. He has kept his promise of keeping the Bills in Western NY. Business has always been tougher here then some of the top markets. The excuses have been Buffalo is a small market, nothing to do, too cold, too much snow, can't afford big ticket freeagents. It has gotten much worse the past 10 years and now we have a bigger issue. No coach with any experience head coaching in the NFL that has been successful wants to coach the Buffalo Bills! Problem is everybody knows Ralph Wilson probably won't make it to the end of any contract signed. With no guarentees or information as to what happens to the Buffalo Bills franchise on Ralph's departure from mortality, we are left with a franchise in limbo!!! Even as a fan, I find myself after 10 years of not really competing on a high level, pulling away alittle farther every year. I use to have season tickets for 12 years from 86 to 97. After I usually bought 1-2 games a year after I moved away. This year was the first time since 83' that I didn't go to at least 1 game. I actually stopped watching the Bills on Sunday till Jauron got fired. The point is if Bills fans are waving in support because of Ralph's status and control then how can we expect someone with credentials to buy into the Bills branding. If Ralph doesn't change this culture by making some drastic changes in ownership for the future now, he stands to lose more support before the 2010 season even starts. This is a very critical year before the potential lockout. Ralph doesn't sound good when he is interviewed, very labored breathing. He may not be around if and when a lockout occurs, he may never see a NFL football game after this year again. Please Ralph, find a way to put in trust this franchise. Leave family members and lawyers in charge receiving paychecks. Take a loan out for any taxes or bonuses owed. Eventually leave Buffalo Bills trust to the City of Buffalo and offer public stocks to keep franchise viable. Sell stock when cash is needed over monies coming in. There are ways to make this work for Your family, you and the fans of Buffalo.

Which players would survive a regime change?
USABuffaloFan replied to folz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is why we need new pro-personnel people. Maybin was a bad pick. He had one good year with Penn state where he wasn't even the starter at the beginning. He had one game he rolled most of his 12 sacks into. There isn't enough proof that this guy deserved being picked 11th. Starting to look like another Eric flowers to me who was a 1 year wonder also. can you say BUST! Very poor judgement. Now you want to build a defense around this kid. Let the losing continue!!!!!! -
Bad, bad idea. First off TO for Pez, get real!!! How old are you 16. I hope so because we don't need poor judgement again on our next Presidential election. The last 2 have been real winners. Collins would get destroyed behind our O-line right now. I'd rather bring back a 46 year old Doug Flutie, I bet he still is in great shape. Really we need to draft another QB with our top 10 pick next year unless Modrak is still here. Then we need another safety, CB or running back. Never enough good CB's right. Get this straight right now, this is not a good football team. We are not going to the playoffs till Modrak, Guy and Jauron are shown the unemployment line. Then we are in a rebuild mode hopefully, maybe, 2-3 years.

Buffalo's soon to be new head coach
USABuffaloFan replied to SWVABillsFan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Our defense just gave up over 300 yards running. We were lucky to win that game because of the 6 interceptions. If the Bills keep giving up 200+ yards running week to week they will win maybe 2 more games all season. As far as getting a new coach, i'd pay for a proven playoff winner, Gruden, Cowher, Billick, Fassel are my vote. -
Should Fred get the bulk of the carries?
USABuffaloFan replied to zow2's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
When has Lynch been in the top of the NFL stats for RB's. He has barely gotten 1000 yards each of his seasons. When Jackson replaced Lynch because of his indiscresions, Jackson finished 2nd in the league in all purpose yards and 4th in rushing. Lynch hasn't even been close in even his best 3 days in 2.2 years. Lynch would compliment Jackson better than the other way around. The argument that Jackson is 29 and Lynch 23 actually works the other way around, Jackson is in his prime now. Use him while his body is fresh and he gives you stats like the first 3 games. I will take the body of work by the running backs the 1st 3 games than what has happened the last 3 games. Even Thurman believes Jackson is better for this team right now. Get Real people!!!! -
Why are so many people turning a blind eye to Trent?
USABuffaloFan replied to Rayzer32's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Come to think about it, maybe Trent will finely be back from the last concusion from 2008. He was never right after that one. Maybe this will reverse it because he really can't get much worse. Hmmm, just a thought!!! -
Why are so many people turning a blind eye to Trent?
USABuffaloFan replied to Rayzer32's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Trent misses passes down field, over throws too many, no touch. Trent doesn't even know what a slant pattern is. Trent throws more balls inside 10 yards than any QB in the NFL starting. Outside of the first 2 games, Trent even sucks at that. His cadence seems to cause issues with the O-line. This week under Fitz, the line performed well, C+. The game was won by the Bills controling time of possesion. The only thing I will give Trent the benefit of doubt on is he ran the No Huddle, No Movement offensive game plans. Fitz deserves another start, can't hurt!!! -
Who starts next week at QB vs Carolina?
USABuffaloFan replied to toddgurley's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Trent's stats are deceiving, 5-5 43 yds. What play did he make that you remember? Captain Checkdown no longer sees the field. Fitz came in with little 1st team practice if any and finds the WR's at a better rate. I don't care what Fitz's stats were, I know my eye's on that day seen a much more capable QB at this stage anyway. Trent's long ball lately has been well over thrown, he is not seeing the field like he should. Bills want a chance next week they will start Ryan! -
DJ reminds me of Ron Paul, bland, moni-toned, just no life. If they said something interesting we would all miss it being fast asleep!

I agree, this should be the line of the future. They are all young and can play together for 4-5 years. Replace talent with high picks in the future if needed. We need a QB with our next 1st round pick. Suppose to be a great QB draft for 2010.

Parrish is “finished” in Buffalo
USABuffaloFan replied to bills_red's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Steve Johnson is Reed's replacement. Hardy coming back will only assure Johnson sits on the bench. I hope either TO or Reed are sent out of here. We need Hardy and Johnson playing to see what we have for next year. We are not gong to win more than 4-5 more games if that anyway. -
RUMOUR: Holmgren to the Bills?
USABuffaloFan replied to Bash_Gash's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Give me a break! People, worthy news comes from worthy news sources. Nothing is happening till we are closer to the bye week if it happens at all. There is not a interm coach on the Bills roster, Cottrell could have done it but Fewell, Pelt, April, Krugher, etc.. are lucky they still have jobs. Wilson will fire Modrak, Guy, Jauron, Fewell and hire a new pro-personnel/coach for next year. Braddon is home grown and is going nowwhere. Stop the stupid rumors!!!
