    Then maybe the team shuld have paid DJ more. Or hired a coach worth more.  :lol:

    Dude move on. The Bills are in one of the smallest markets in the NFL. There is no salary cap for coaches. THEY ARE NOT A PUBLIC ENTITLEMENT. What do you expect Ralph to do? The market will dictate that the big-market teams will push coaching salaries up to and past the point that the small market teams can rationally afford. The only way the small market teams are unaffected is if they have a filthy rich, irrational owner who cares more about winning than being solvent. I'm sorry, if that's your expectation of Ralph, it is unreasonable. That's not how the business world does or should operate. I've heard little to suggest that Sherman was that much more qualified than Jauron that he definitely should have been hired, and I'm not going to fault the Bills for not insisting on paying Jauron more even though he was willing to settle for less. Get real.

     

    Also, Bates also turned down Houston, IMO for similar reasons - and Bob McNair is even wealthier than Ralph.

    Was Jauron their FOURTH choice?

    I think so...

     

    FIRST CHOICE: Mularkey (what does it say that they wanted Mularkey more than Jauron?)

     

    SECOND CHOICE: Levy (at least, he was his own second choice)

     

    THIRD CHOICE: Sherman (just a hunch here, I think he was the guy but talks broke down over the weekend; no source, just my gut from what I've heard)

     

    FOURTH CHOICE: Dick.

    Talked with a friend who's a Bears fan...

    He likes the hiring of DJ, said when he was with Chicago, he had very little talent to work with.

    Phew.

     

    Sign me up for $1000 in season tickets. Hell, how about a luxury box? Also, I think I'm going to buy oodles of merchandise on top of that. In fact, I think maybe I'll purchase a commercial where I talk about how happy I am with this hiring.

    What if? Sherman HC

    That would be nice but I highly doubt the Bills would interview for the OC and DC positions without the HC there.

    Well I agree, I'm sure they'd give Sherman the chance to meet with these guys and interview them himself - but they'd rely on the HC interviews as a preliminary interview and highly recommend to Sherman that he hire them.

    No source, just speculatin'. If that happens, Marv will have assembled in two weeks a more experienced, qualified and exciting group of coaches than Donahoe put together in 5 years.

     

    Wow.

     

     

     

    ** Disclaimer ** Admittedly my earlier posts bashed the idea of Sherman when his name was first thrown out there. Well, I was wrong, or at least the Packers fans who so graciously posted here have changed my mind. The guy is likeable and prepared, and seems to make halftime adjustments from time to time - something GW and MM never bothered to do (their game plan was: 1) pound head against wall 2) repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat...).

    So Polian Talks Marv Into

    Capers was interviewed to avoid the impression that Lofton was a "token minority interview." It was done out of respect for Lofton, and out of the fear of getting fined/criticized by the NFL.

     

    In other words, the Bills already made up there mind, but they'd better act fast - Al Davis has been known to swoop in and steal away a prized hire...

     

    No source, but I'm right.

    Manning dumps on his line?

    Peyton (who I like) did indeed call out his line. But,  one thing that is unsaid about this is that he is the one who calls the blocking schemes FOR the line as well as the plays.  So alot of this blame HAS to go on his shoulders.

    Guys were whiffing on their blocks, and the tackles were getting bowled over time and again. The Colts' line was as un-physical as I've ever seen. Don't blame Manning for that - although he was reacting in a typical Manning fashion: panic. He'd throw off his back foot and get visibly afraid of the constant pressure.
