  1. It was no surprise to hear conflicting stories last week about Sean McDermott’s interview with the Bills. The way it was explained to me, the Pegulas came away with a considerably higher opinion of Carolina's defensive coordinator than Whaley had. If true, it wouldn’t surprise me if Whaley poked holes in the interview in an effort to maintain control. McDermott could be a fine head coach. Nobody knows for sure because he never has had the top job. He has sound credentials. He worked under late, great defensive coordinator Jim Johnson in Philadelphia. His defenses in Carolina were ranked in the top 10 in yards allowed for four straight seasons before slipping to 21st this year. If the Bills wind up hiring him – again, the way it was explained to me – it would mean ownership overruled their general manager after he supposedly led the coaching search. It also would mean that ownership agreed to give McDermott the power he demanded and Whaley previously refused to relinquish. It also could bring Whaley one step closer to the door. --- Well this is the opposite of what i anticipated. http://buffalonews.com/2017/01/08/bucky-gleason-bills-search-continues-coaching-jewel/
  2. Show me the baby Wawrow.
  3. that seems quite contradictory
  4. I now want him.
  5. I'm guessing it's less having second thoughts about the Bills job and more about realizing he's an actual candidate elsewhere. You'd have to be a madman to pick Buffalo over Denver.
  6. The quality of the Buffalo media is irrelevant. This is an entertainment industry and the fact is the Media is a huge part of that. The national media is always going to lean on the takeaways/opinions of the local media, because rightly or wrongly there is an expectation that they are closer to the story, and therefore have a better handle on it. So with that being said, the Bills have a responsibility of controlling the narrative of the local media. It's Berchtold and the Buffalo Bills job to know what the narrative and talking points are going to be in these press conferences and control them. None of the questions should have been a surprise. Whaley should not have had to think about his answers. Good organizations, business, etc. make unscripted press conferences or meetings seem scripted. The Buffalo Media may be hacks or whatever you feel they are, but they are not falsifying anything the Bills have said, and the simple fact is the narrative on a national level is the Bills lack competency, organizational structure, and a cohesive plan. This offseason has led to reputation damage that will hurt the Bills from a football perspective, and ultimately from a business perspective. If you don't believe this, you are in denial. They have a lot of work to do to fix this, and from what I've seen the people in the building aren't capable of doing so. They need the NFL equivalent of a turnaround consultant.
  7. They called it at 1:32 ET. Cause of Death: Hamstring Tightness
  8. we should rest him until the playoffs to be careful
  9. I don't really know anything about him, but Lynn gives a good first impression. Very sharp.
  10. Harold Goodwin Mike Shula
  11. Anyone want to see baby Gronk get a chance with the 1s at FB?
  12. Came here to post the same. I see people saying Gilmore isn't a lockdown corner all the time on twitter, etc. I just have to speculate they don't watch a lot of non-Bills games. Sherman gets beat. Norman gets beat. There's never going to be another Revis island.
  13. How does Cravens compare to Kam Chancellor (knowing full well that no one compares to Kam)?
  14. Home opener on Thursday Night
  15. this is...backwards. Hopkins had his good drive when Gilmore went out of the game.
  16. two games really matter: Bills over Eagles Cincy over Steelers
  17. if it's a say...2 week injury, i'm glad we play the Eagles and Redskins before the Jets and Cowboys.
  18. I hardly post, but good god you're being an !@#$. I appreciate the updates 26. I hope the Patriots win this week. I want the chance to knock them off.
  19. biggest issue i had is having Robey matched up on Decker. that can't happen.
  20. Need a big night from Bob Woods.
  21. Your question won, but it sure wasn't answered.
  22. i just assume that anyone who is down on Gilmore doesn't watch any other NFL games.
  23. everything we did was dedicated to pressuring Luck up the middle, and not letting him escape the pocket. Mario and Hughes were tasked with staying in position and keeping contain.
