Bills hire Doug Marrone to be Head Coach
Simon replied to sven233's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If Russ Brandon wants to regionalize the Bills, maybe he should scrap the Toronto series and schedule a game in the Carrier Dome. -

No worries, man. With the NFL playoffs on I would have been doing nothing more than the occasional check-in anyways. Although in the future I would be more cautious about putting international results in the title when they're going to be televised later. If it had been a Canada World Cup or Olympic game, folks might have been taking places in line to give you the business.

Bengals-Texans Live Game Thread
Simon replied to San Jose Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Maybe they just stopped the clock for the injury? I was also wondering why they didn't restart it cuz forcing them to run a play before the 2:00 warning kind of left the door cracked a tiny bit for the Bengals. -
Yeah, I'm thinking they've already had discussions on the sly.

I think they called an injury stoppage and took a TO away from Houston -

NFL Writers are turning into message board guessers
Simon replied to theesir's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You may be correct; perhaps I should have added a qualifier such as "yet". -

Or you may also find that using the word "political" has never gotten one post moved ever nor has it ever even come close to resulting in a banning. -
Chip Kelly HC! (possibly for the Browns)
Simon replied to 13player's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't know what the draft numbers are either, but I rarely ever see the Ducks get "out-athleted". I suppose it could be a matter of their unreal tempo giving more an impression of speed than actually exists. And just to be clear, I really like Chip Kelly and the Ducks; I actually lived in Eugene for a year and have been in Autzen a couple times and will watch and root for them as much if not more than any other college team. What I don't like is the dynamic of one guy trying to manage a game and call an offense at the same time; especially when we've seen it fail up close so recently. -
The man definitely has a face for radio!

Chip Kelly HC! (possibly for the Browns)
Simon replied to 13player's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Good call; forgot about him. But as much as I like Kelly (I would hump a Klondike Bar to have him here as the O-coordinator) I still think hiring him to wear two hats poses an unnecessary risk. -
Chip Kelly HC! (possibly for the Browns)
Simon replied to 13player's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The difference is the kind of coaches and programs he'll be running up against. The levels of execution, skill and experience are going to be far beyond anything Kelly has ever seen in the PAC 10 and the tiniest mistakes are brutally answered by guys who know how to exploit them And I don't think I'm on board with the argument that the Ducks are regularly beating teams who have better athletes. At teh risk of sounding like an Eastern elitist, I am rarely ever impressed with Pac 10 football and those Oregon rosters strike me as being at the top of the heap talent-wise. Payton is the only one we've seen win a title doing it. Jim Harbaugh has won exactly one playoff game so far doing it. Rick Dennison calls most of the Texans offense with Kubiak checking off on calls in critical situations. And doing it as a D-coordinator is nowhere near as hard as doing it on the offensive side of the ball and even Belichik had the sense to stop trying to do it all at once. There's enough good candidates available to coach this team that I don't think the Bills have to take the significant risk of asking a guy whose never stepped on an NFL field to assume a responsibility that hardly anybody ever really succeeds with. -
Chip Kelly HC! (possibly for the Browns)
Simon replied to 13player's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Those of you who want Chip Kelly hired should also take into consideration the fact that you just spent the last season of Bills football watching an experienced, veteran coach with an excellent grasp of offensive football struggle mightily to both manage a game and call an offense at the same time. You sure you want to go with that set-up again? Chip might be able to pull that off against the Washington Huskies of the world, but whether he can do it against the Washington Redskins is an entirely different matter. And you can count the guys who have been able to win a championship while simultaneously wearing both those hats in the modern NFL on approximately 1 finger. I don't like the dynamic any more than I like the dynamic of a coach also being responsible for player personnel. And while I admire the breathtaking speed at which Kelly's well-designed offenses execute, unless he wants to come here as just an Offensive co-ordinator, I think it would be a bad idea for the Bills to hire a guy and allow him to wear both the HC and OC hats again. -

Buffalo Bills fire Head Coach Chan Gailey
Simon replied to scribo's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think it also gives these guys an opportunity to meet and get to know influential people who wouldn't typically be within their social circle. A sort of expansion of the Old Boys Network, if you will. -

I heard that Thurman's big announcement was to reveal Jim had been killed by a Chinese opium lord on a secretive private island. Not really.......
