I thing several of you guys are getting a little overly melodramatic,

Smokescreen to make Cowher jealous.

Nah local TV. I can't get CBS on DirecTV here. Sucks.

Am I the only one with a choppy tv feed?

What would you have said if the Bills hired Dungy to coordinate the hire and he hired Frazier? Because that's exactly what they reported he wanted to do in Seattle. I don't know if Frazier is any good or not, but he seems to have alot of people thinking he'd be a pretty good HC.

Momma said knock him out. Dude got nailed!

First computer I ever worked on had a 20mb hard drive. We got grant money and decided to upgrade it, so we got a 120mb hard drive. It was unreal! Never would we use that much hard drive space. Never! I mean ever! People from other labs would come over, just to look at our computer. (I don't remember the price, but it probably cost about as much as an entire computer wouldl today.) Now I have a 1gig usb drive on my key chain. Unreal.

The league really needs to change that stupid rule. You literally touch the QBs head and you get a penalty. I can see if you lay into the guy or it's helmet to helmet, ok. But, this jumping up to block a pass and your hand comes down on the guys helmet is just horse .

So is Shockey. But it is strange to see guys play with emotion after what we've had for 4 years.

Coaches and players all around the league talk to each other. Word gets around. You don't think everyone knows how bad some of these guys are already?

I think you've just forgotten what it's like to watch a team that's actually fired up and playing like they care about winning.

Yes.

Thanks.

You don't by any chance have a link to Mort's report or any of these great rumors?

I'd completely agree with that. And I'll add: they'll say he was their #1 selection and they got just they guy they targeted all along. And, of course, he'll say he's excited to be here and looks forward to working with such a great group.

I think I read somewhere that a coach can't be hired from playoff teams till 1 week after they lose. Not sure, but I thought that's what I read somewhere.

So Mort and potential coaches throughout the league are basing their opinion about the Bills on something a guy that hasn't been in the organization for 4 years and left under strained circumstances said? Wow.

Because Trent's been such a rock?

fail

Just heard on NFL TA, that he'll be leading them onto the field when the team is announced.

Well that article sucks. I though Frazier was supposed to be a bad hire that would only be here because we had no choice and we'd sucked for it. But, that thing made him seem competent. What do I think now?

I wonder if people even have a brain sometimes or if they just continue to lap up the hysteria. He states, "...their coaching search has become embarrassing, with more candidates turning down interviews than those showing an interest in the job." Then follows that up by listing the 2 guys that turned down an interview offer. But, then he follows that up by listing 3 guys that have or will interview. So, I guess according to some new math that they're teaching since I was in 3rd grade, 2 is now greater than 3. Not to mention, you could say Martz and Billick both showed interest in the job. Buffalo just didn't show interest in them. So by my count, we have 7 guys that have shown some level of interest in the job. Yet the coaching search is embarassing and we have to settle on the first guy that we can club and stick in the van.

I believe he turned down the request to interview. But there's uncertainty as to exactly what he meant - i.e. not till the playoffs are over or not ever. The pessimists say he hates Buffalo because we suck, so he'll never interveiw. The optimists say he's just waiting until the Chargers' season is officially over. Pretty much the same story with Russ Grimm in Arizona.

You cannot fill a cup that is already full.

Are you so sure? Maybe they're like all of us... sitting around refreshing these boards hoping for the first glimpse of a new coach hire, instead of working. Only problem is, it still hasn't set in that they're the ones supposed to be doing the hiring that they're waiting on the internet to read about.
