No Cease Fires

He's had three good games in a row by my count.

Jay_Glazer I'm hearing now even stronger that bills gm buddy nix has gone as far as informing merriman he's claiming him

Hot damn, bartshan-83! That was a great post.

Huh? Why all this talk about how this looks bad for the Bills. We already look bad. The way to start looking good is by winning some damned football games. Getting rid of dead weight seems like an okay place to start. Repercussions, my ass. You mean all those free agents who so desperately don't want to play for us still don't want to play for us? What a catastrophe. The way you attract these guys is by fielding a decent football game, not by hanging onto worthless players to save face.

Part of the reason Freddy didn't play more is his injured hand. It ain't rocket science.

Their defense looks spectacular, of course, but their offense looks about as effective as ours so far.

I think you're confusing the results with the actual play calling. The result was the same but Gailey tried so many different plans, formations, plays that I don't see how you could confuse yesterday's plan with Jauron's. Jauron's problem was playing too conservative, while Gailey's was maybe the opposite. Jauron would stick with the same plan even if it never worked, while I think Gailey could have stood to stand by a game plan longer. The Wildcat was moderately effective yet he never went back to it. He just never could establish one game plan.

If you actually read the article, you'll see that Simms is the only one who outright says we won't make the playoffs. And he too had some very positive things to say. I hated Simms when he said we weren't legit after our fast start a couple seasons ago, but oh how right he was. I'll take "they're on the right track" over "worst team ever" any day.

The thing about Peter King is that he loved Dick Jauron. Even lobbied for him to be Coach of the Year his first season with us. That's all you need to know. If he liked this hire, I'd be worried.

I liked Buddy's "Win football games!" response to winning back the fanbase. Damn straight.

One thing I will say for this guy is that he's been a winner wherever he's gone, except for KC. Can't say I'm too excited at the moment, though.

So with coordinators from the Vikings, Jets, Cowboys, Cardinals out there, we end up going with a guy who last coached on the...Chiefs? Oh god say it ain't so.

Billick gets my vote. I just wish OBD would, you know, talk to the guy.

It's Jim Zorn.

Frazier's team is in the playoffs. It's an NFL Rule that interviewers have to go to their playoff candidates to talk to them.

Which is what I hope they do once (if?) the Cowher thing officially falls through. Just hope it's not too late at that point.

Well it's not like the media was reporting any interviews Weis did with KC. Just because they don't report it, doesn't mean it isn't happening/hasn't happened. Which I hope is the case with Buffalo and Billick. The guy actually WANTS to come here and apparently we're not interested, or at least that's what the reports are saying.

He has assembled a staff. But according to many fans, he's not good enough for our beloved franchise. So just forget about him and hopefully we'll hire back Dick Jauron.

Great post. It's not like if Billick were to come here, things would go down the same way they did in Baltimore. (Oh and only to Bills fans would things going down the same way be a bad thing.)

Every time I see another report on the Nix firing or non-firing, I think of the immortal words of that dogged Indians fan in Major League. "Who gives a ****, they're gone." And good riddance.

I certainly hope it's Billick.

Probably looking at those guys for assistants if anything. You don't fire your entire staff to bring in Cam Cameron.

On ESPN two seconds ago, Mort said that he doesn't know what to think until he hears it out of Cowher's mouth.

Who would you prefer to Cowher?
