While I have no idea if that's true or not, you can't deny the success the Steelers have had since Mularkey left. Could it be chalked up to new players? Possibly, but the style of offense always has a lot to do with it.
I don't think there is much denying that Mularky has a penchant for "trick" plays. He utilized multi-dimensional players such as Randle El and Ward. He also was a major part in the Steelers changing from a "smashmouth" style of offense to one that relied on trickery. One could argue he designed that type of offense for the players he had, but he also tried to utilize that same offense in Buffalo without those types of players.
Amazing how after he left Pittsburgh they went back to their traditional style and won another Super Bowl.
Yeah, I'm sure no other young QB has ever played so poorly. If coaches gave up on rookie/second year QB's like fans do there would next to no QB's that make it past their first year.
There are some good posts in the "Have mercy on the Bills next week" thread, in between the tard posts that is (hey, you mean they're tards outside of TSW? Get out!)
One example
"I don't think the Jets match up well with Buffalo. They have an extremely fast defense and an excellent pass rush. Their big weakness is their run defense but the Jets can't run the ball.
And Losman is playing pretty well. Nothing spectacular but he's managing the game and moving the chains. Buffalo is definitely the team I'd call the surprise of the league. That was a big win for them in Miami. The Dolphins never lose at home in September. Least of all to a cold weather team like Buffalo."
Don't bring Paul (Bib) into this. You have no idea what family he had, what contact he had with them, his life story, etc.... There is no need to rehash that event with the announcement of this one.
Never been to Rendezvous, and Dinosaur may be as good as that place. Like I said, Dinosaur is great food but it's not the best you'll ever find. My only point was why take someone from the south to get bar-b-que in Syracuse. That'd be like taking someone from Buffalo to get wings in Charlotte.
I'm not going to France to eat McDonalds, but that's just me.
Uhh, apparently I go at least once a month my friend.
Dinosaur has great bar-b-que, for the northeast. I've been to places in North Carolina, Georgia and Texas and it can't live up to them. Close, but not quite.
