  1. the stars continue to align for Cowher to buffalo.....

     

    #1- Cowher says he wants to return to coaching in 2010 but will not discuss specifics until season ends.

    #2- Bills officially contact Cowher but he says he's not talking til season is over.

    #3- Cowher sends out private feelers expressing interest in buffalo.

    #4- Buffalo (Ralph & Russ)has a "stealth" meeting with Cowher just prior to announcing Nix (sources say cowher does NOT need final say on picks)

    #5- Cowher is assembling a coaching staff as we speak.

    #6- Cowher visit expected in Buffalo next week.

    #7- on NFL today show, Marino & Shannon keep smirking everytime Buffalo is mentioned. Shannon holds up a sign written on paper.....but i couldn't read it, lighting was bad.

    #8- tampa bay coaches told jobs are safe.

     

    After reading stuff like this I'm starting to get a woody. This could be a huge letdown for me if it's not Cowher!

  2. So coach Caldwell comes out and says that Painter may play a series or two this week. What? really? So you throw away a possible perfect season and all the momentum and mojo you've created and you will play Manning a couple series in the most meaningless game of his career?!? Why would Manning even dress for the Bills game? that's absurd. If he does play I hope Schoebel has the opportunity to drive Manning's shoulder deep into the RWS frozen astroplay surface. Nothing against Peyton, but i'd be amused at the stupidity of Caldwell and Polian for letting him play after last week's farce.

  3. So many of us pounded the table for Orakpo on draft day. this disgusts me. i saw Maybin in person on the field. Nice athlete but he's a skinny dude with skinny arms for a DE or even a LB. HE's not even a factor and Orakpo on another crappy team manages to be a difference maker.

  4. SD is "under the radar"? Thye've won 10 in a row and have been described as the "hottest team in the league" for the past 2 weeks.

     

    They are preparing to destroy the floundering NFC, while Indy is preparing, in their usual fashion, for a first round exit.

     

    What i mean is the pressure to win it all in on Indy, New Orleans and maybe Minnesota. SD got off to a bad start, LT was not the same LT, their D was suspect at best... it wasn't like a couple yrs ago when SD was absolutely Super Bowl or bust. Much like the Colts won the SB in a season they were not dominating, SD seems to be that team right now.

  5. I'm rooting for a Bills win but it would be kinda' interesting if Indy beats them. Not for Buffalo, but Indy is getting absolutely barbecued in the national media for pulling healthy starters up by 5 vs. the Jets (and spitting on possible NFL history). If they dispose of the Bills, that decision would be just the worst case sccenario for Indy.

     

    FWIW, i like the Hot "under the radar" team to win in the AFC playoffs and that seems to be SanDiego right now...maybe even New England.

  6. Dude would be the best QB on our roster, how could you not want him? Not to mention he played very very well for them when he did get the starts. Hire Jim Harbaugh and let him talk to brother Jon about him and go from there...

     

    Agree. I went to a Ravens preseason game this past summer and Troy Smith played from the beginning of the 2nd Qtr till the end. He was a man among boys since he was carving up 2nd and 3rd stringers with his arm and legs. I would take him in Buffalo in a heartbeat. He may not be a "franchise" QB but you never know? he could be another Drew Brees in waiting. Certainly he's better than anyone on the current roster. My only concern with him would be injury. Seems like his game is condusive to ankle injuries since he runs around alot.

  7. I'm fine with posting another thread about this if it's just opinion, but this title made it seem like the poster had some nugget of new information. Obviously not.

    Of course it would be nice if they went to full time throwbacks. San Diego made a recent uniform change back to white helmets (but not full time throwbacks). The Jets went back to their original duds several yrs ago. BUffalo should so something in the near future.

  8. Indy won the SB in their "not so best" season a few yrs ago. It seems like the Chargers are sitting in that role this year. The pressure was off this year for San Diego, they got off to a slow start and they are getting really hot now. I do think Polian was aware of this. It is no big deal for him to lose that game yesterday. I agree that it will backfire for Indy. That's a team that needed to remain mentally sharp and interested. The Buffalo game will be an audition for their backup players, then they will sit for 2 more weeks. I think Indy is gonna be toast.

  9. I won't get on Brohm for yesterday. He showed enough arm strength on the out patterns to make me think he is an NFL QB. Now if he gets the mental aspect of the game down and shows pocket presence, then he could be pretty good. I'd like to see him and a high draft pick compete in camp next year. Fitz can remain as the 3rd stringer.

  10. I think Polian almost wanted to lose that game yesterday. If they go 15-0, the pressure to play starters in Buffalo is great. I believe that was in the back of his mind. No way did he want to play Manning, Wayne, Clark, Freeney, Addai, etc... in frozen Buffalo against a rag tag team like the Bills that have nothing to lose by blitzing all day. I mean now they can just leave those guys at home so they don't have to get chilly and catch a cold on the sidelines.

  11. Assuming Vick is living a squeaky clean life now, it certainly would not be a bad idea to bring him in. He would be immediate help. How many season ticket holders would cancel their tickets if Vick signed here, seriously?? maybe about 50 or 100 tops? that's not much. I would not cancel my tix. Football is too much of a team game to worry about 1 guy and his past crimes. Vick ain't my (or my kids') role model. Just score some TDs and you are welcome here.
