  1. Pffft....you are red hot this week. First the junk about nobody being funny, then fans being wrong the majority of the time? That is just stupid. At worst, fans are wrong half the time. That's just averages. Unfortunately, that's just the uninformed opinion. Football is a lot more tangible to assess than that. Losing coaches usually continue to lose. Coaches who appear to be doing a lousy job, usually are. If it makes you feel better to create a fictitious "percentage" and attach it to our disgust at the hiring of one of Marv's buddies, then that's your prerogative, but back that sh*t up or don't bring it in here.
  2. And had arguably the worst defense in the NFL. BTW, the Broncos won the Super Bowl with the worst run defense in the NFL and Greg Robinson as their DC. The fact he picked up rings for that mess is irrelevant, his defense sucked. And Dick Vermeil hired him, and ruined any chance of winning in KC. Gunther was no upgrade. At least Martz was smart enough to hire Lovie Smith. Martz was in the playoffs almost every year and Vermeil WAS NOT. I know you guys don't like Martz, but look at the alternatives. They are AWFUL. The best of them is Sherman, and the guy has George Siefert-in-Carolina written all over him. He was a caretaker for what Holmgren left behind and left no imprint on that organization. Martz and his offense were the reason the Rams won a Super Bowl. We're hoping guys with nothing going for them, like Dick Jauron, are going to come in and somehow have learned from their mistakes? How about Martz? What if he has learned from his mistakes? Then maybe we're talking about something special in Buffalo, instead of being Belichick and Saban's whipping boys for the next 5 years.
  3. Vermeil was a defensive coach who changed his stripes because he had Martz. Vermeils coattails are a lot shorter than you seem to think. Martz gets ripped for not having a good defense and special teams, but Vermeil had a one dimensional team in KC as well. Greg Robinson? Gunther Cunningham? Good grief.
  4. The Bills are interviewing Dom Capers, who is good for what? Four wins per season? Dick Jauron, a 6-10 type coach? Martz has a .600+ winning percentage and didn't do it on the coattails of any one player, like Sherman did with Favre. I don't care if he's a flake, the guy wins. He routinely took apart Mike Holmgren year after year, his Rams rallied to put Belichick on the ropes in the Super Bowl, and he's not good enough for this sorry organization?
  5. PFW reported in their pro prospects preview this fall that McNeill has stenosis and that he has had to alter his workout program because of it. I don't see how a team is going to spend a first round pick on a guy with a narrowing of the spine.
  6. Longtime coordinators and failed head coaches before ever coming to work for Marv as assistants. Obviously, not branches of Marv's coaching brilliance. There are none. NONE. Marv doesn't even have his own tree, he is just a branch sticking off of the hollowed out log that used to be George Allen's coaching tree.
  7. I'd take that bet in a heartbeat. Teams are a reflection of their HC, and Mularkey was not tough enough to be a HC in the NFL. I mean, this was a guy who was blaming the bounce of the ball for a failed season that was defined by the team playing worse as the game wore on. Mularkey has a glass jaw as a leader and so did his team. He will not be a head coach in the NFL again, and will be lucky to ever be anything more than a decent coordinator again, and I'll be surprised if he gets a OC job right away.
  8. Aside from the year he went 13-3, his overall record was 22-43. That's basically 5-11/6-10 football in a weakass division. That's pretty horrible in the age of parity.
  9. The Chiefs didn't have the personnel in place to run the Rams offense like the Rams do, they adapted to what they had. Too many offenses let the defense do what they want to and try to beat them by sneaking into tiny spots that they hope are vulnerable. Martz attacks a defense, and makes it respect the threat of the big play, thus opening up the running game. Granted, having a good OL is imperative, but if they don't fix that mess, nothing is going to work. As for the wind, you can't let that dictate what you do. No matter what offense you run, if you are in Buffalo you should have QB's on the roster who can throw a tight, heavy ball because if you can't throw the ball deep, you can't be prolific in the NFL today.
  10. The Chiefs run it quite well and they play outdoors. Man, it would be nice to have a great offensive team here again.
  11. Sherman is a west coast offense guy. The WCO is rather complicated and takes years to learn and is, IMO, producing diminishing returns. To me, a good fit is somebody who will come in, and put together an offense and defense that will make the most of the talent in place. I know Sherman won games, but he inherited a team with the best QB in the NFL and a deeply established WCO system and he didn't do anything special. Yes, he won and made the playoffs in the NFC Norris, but in the playoffs they got handled. He was a lousy GM as well. To me, he is a poor man's George Siefert, and we saw how he handled starting from scratch in Carolina. AVOID this guy. I would rather have a lot of other coaches. Martz would be a fit for the talent in place and would do wonders for Losman, Evans and Parrish, IMO. I'd even rather have coach HAY-ZLITT. God, I'd even rather have a re-tread like Dick Jauron.
