Wilson from Gamehendge

I think he is awesome! He is going to be very good in this league...I have said so all along. I wish they kept Collins in and we could have traded for him.

Why will Shanahan be any different and does this mean they will 100% not take the offer, or do they just want to weigh their options? Is this a blessing in disguise? Just because a "big-name" Coach has won the Super Bowl, does not mean he could come into Buffalo and turn this all around, to do so again. Maybe a younger, up and coming, fiery and passionate guy is the answer? It certainly has been the case in the last couple years. I really liked the idea of Marty as GM and his son as Coach. "Multiple reports have stated Jon Gruden, Bill Cowher and Mike Holmgren have rebuffed overtures from the Buffalo Bills about discussing their coaching vacancy. Marty Schottenheimer publicly stated he wasn't interested." http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4690597

Have fun with that... ...but you know, as the rest of us do, you will be right back here when we sign a GM/Coach, have a good draft and bring in a couple decent free agent pickups. So, see ya in April

Because this board is highly regarded when it comes to grammer and punctuation...I thought I would let you know that Devin Hester was "DE-pantsed."

Brian Brohm happened! THAT is what happened buddy...BRIAN BROHM!

Good post Kelly Dog. Where do you see negativity? I agree...I think that Ralph and the Bills are preparing for a big game of "power," and they will not show their hand to ANYBODY. They do not want other teams knowing what they are doing and they certainly do not want to upset any of the candidates. They also probably do not want to put a cloud of Perry Fewell's head as he tries to audition for a job.

I would rather have Craphonso Thorpe as my QB...and he is a WR.

I posted this JUST yesterday... http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/index.php?showtopic=101674 Mods...close this.

You are right because keeping Jauron was the answer and would of made sense! This way, now they can get a head start on searching for a GM and Head Coach...which they are doing. This wasn't the brightest of posts..."Firing Jaruon was stupid."

I found some evidence...check out the video, stop it at 1:54 and look to the right of Dickhead...I mean Dick's head. http://www.nfl.com/videos/buffalo-bills/09...4f/Jauron-fired http://www.hoopsvibe.com/IMG/kobe_bryant-a...892-240x240.jpg Come on? Kinda funny?

But, but...what about...Mike Leach and his sword swinging and his inner- ?

Wouldn't that be nice? There is the Bills highly-desired "CONTINUITY!" (not sure if I spelled that right?)

I wouldn't be surprised if this was all smoked being blown OUR (the fans) way...and in the end, we end up with somebody of that stature. Jim Haslett, Ted Cotrell...or Ralph thinking the CFL is his savior again, Trestman. They will interview a bunch of high-priced, big name guys...then settle on a no-name, washed-up has-been. Do ya gotta be a smartass about it though? “This is his (Wilson’s) last coach and (he) is going to do everything it takes to get it right,” the source said of the 91-year-old owner. THAT SAYS EVERYTHING...that I just posted about in another thread...that is OUR HOPE! This is it...he wants to get it right = HE WILL SPEND THE DOUGH! (AGAIN though, I would not be "surprised" (but highly PI$$ED) if they are blowing smoke and get a lesser-known guy)

I agree 100%...give him a week to get the playbook though...6 games is alright.

are you being serious, or knocking me for sticking up for the kid? because honestly, i would LOVE to see him start the rest of the year...after a couple weeks to get comfortable. (ps. for those who play it...he is pretty darn good in madden, great with 10-15 yard slants, i had better lucky with him than trent...before he got taken off the fa list.)

He was being talked about as a high 1st round pick a couple years ago, but he stayed at Louisville another year. He was also a Heisman Trophy candidate and many experts think he has NFL skills. He has grown up in a Quarterback family, and has also had a D1 quality-skilled receiver to throw to his whole life. He was compared (skill-wise) to Brett Favre. College: Brohm announced his decision to attend the University of Louisville on January 20, 2004, picking the hometown Cardinals over scholarship offers from the University of Kentucky, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Alabama, Nebraska, Purdue, Illinois and others. Brohm enrolled at Louisville in the fall of 2004 and immediately began competing for the starting quarterback spot with Stefan LeFors. His first season, Brohm was named Conference USA Freshman of the Year, despite not starting a single game. Brohm completed 66 of 98 passes for 819 yards and six touchdowns. After entering the game for at least one series per game as a true freshman, Brohm followed in the footsteps of father, Oscar, and brother, Jeff, by becoming a starting quarterback at the University of Louisville in 2005. His brother, Greg, also played at Louisville as a receiver. In 2005, Brohm passed for 2,883 yards and 19 touchdowns before suffering a season-ending knee injury in a game against Syracuse on November 25. He was forced to miss Louisville's last regular season game (a December 2 matchup against Connecticut) and was still in rehabilitation when the Cardinals lost to Virginia Tech in the 2006 Gator Bowl. Brohm injured his thumb in Louisville's September 16, 2006 victory over Miami. He returned as starting quarterback in Louisville's October 14, 2006 victory against Cincinnati. He had been replaced at starting quarterback by sophomore backup Hunter Cantwell for the previous two games. Before his injury, Brohm was one of two candidates at U of L for the 2006 Heisman Trophy, along with senior running back Michael Bush. The pair, both born and raised in Louisville, were dubbed "The Derby City Duo." In the 2007 Orange Bowl, Brohm earned MVP honors by leading Louisville to its first-ever BCS victory, 24-13 over Wake Forest. Brohm completed 24 of 34 passes for 311 yards, the third highest total in Orange Bowl history. Rivals.com named Brohm as one of the top 10 quarterbacks going into the 2007 season. Brohm had an outstanding, injury-free season in 2007, completing 308 of 473 passes for 4,024 yards for 30 touchdowns with 12 interceptions, giving him a QB Rating of 152. Louisville struggled mightily on defense, though, and finished 6-6, failing to make a bowl game for the first time in 10 years. Though The Sporting News projected Brohm as high as the top pick in the 2007 NFL draft, and many other experts had projected him as going no later than the first round, Brohm announced on January 15, 2007, after a long period of speculation, that he would return to the University of Louisville for his senior year. After the 2007 Orange Bowl, he stated that "Right now, coming back and trying to win a national title looks very appealing." Almost all analysts believed that Brohm has NFL talent, however they disagreed about his draft status and whether he should have stayed for his senior season. Professional career - Pre-Draft: The fact that the 2008 draft was infused with top-prospect quarterbacks whose playing styles are very similar to Brohm's was also a key argument for Brohm's possible entry in the 2007 draft, where the other first round-bound quarterbacks include the more diverse characters of Brady Quinn and JaMarcus Russell. However, Brohm eventually decided to return for his senior season for another shot at helping the Louisville Cardinals to a BCS National Championship. Brohm scored a 32 on the Wonderlic exam out of the 50 questions, tying Matt Ryan for the highest score among quarterbacks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Brohm

"The Bills never have made their head coach one of the top-paid men in the game, so the fact they would even consider talking to a Shanahan or a Cowher is a sign owner Ralph C. Wilson Jr. could be changing his approach to big-name head coaches. Jauron was making about $3 million a year." http://www.buffalonews.com/452/story/866323.html Can't say "I" called it, but the local Rochester, NY sports news anchor did. I had not heard of the amount of "the contract extension" ANYWHERE ELSE! Nobody on here replied with any information, so I am guessing that there was ZERO knowledge of this $3 million deal...anywhere. Imagine what Trent would have gotten if he did not get hurt and kept on playing the way he was in the first 5 weeks last year, or started that way this year. Like I mentioned above, if Ralph was willing to pay Dick Jauron $3 million, there is hope for a GOOD coach. He has obviously been paying attention and is willing to/wanting to right the ship. All this being said without mentioning he has the "Glory Day" players speaking out about the situation, probably influencing him...and who knows if Bud Adams' charades had an affect on some of this. I can't help but wonder. I just find it odd that he could have fired Jauron before the bye week, during the bye week...but after the game, played after the bye week? (AND NOT on Monday, but Tuesday?) I have a feeling that Ralph Wilson wa$ and i$ embarra$$ed at the ****-$how that ha$ become the Buffalo Bill$...see the $money$ $ign$? Ralph has lots, like that sentence does. Throw out history (I know, I know), and there is no reason at all to think that this rich old man will not give one last "hoorah", give it a shot and go for a Championship. 1 year to get into the playoffs...wild card in 2010-'11 2 years to win division...2011-'12 3-5 years to get into the Super Bowl...2012-'15 (so the "world will end" before the Bills get there... ) I feel that we will bring in "football" guys and REALLY go after a top QB in this coming draft...I don't know who? And I feel that Ralph will open the checkbook for the new GM and sign off on some big acquisitions in the Off-Seasons. What do ya'all say..."BILLIEVE?"

Well, if you had any humor and paid attention...you would have noticed that I was saying the guy that was coming in for the "interview" in the video, was a "Chubby little Mike Holmgren." Meaning, he is a chubby, smaller version of...FAT Mike Holmgren. Man..."you couldnt manage a bowl of fokcing jello."

I thought you meant this guy... (awesome video!) Speed Train - RB Air Plane - QB Big Dipper - Tight End Bumper Car - O-Line Sledgehammer - THE NEW GM/COACH!

indeed that caveman looking mofo was a bill...however, i like the fact more that they portrayed him as the bad guy in the article, as a PATRIOT!

Gee...can't wait to see what he can do at 100% if he has 8 ints and is not completely healthy. get ur weener healed byrdman!

Trestman is not as bad as people are making him out to be...I just wouldn't want him as a HC, moreso an OC...and we certainly wouldn't be my first choice.

hey, way to be a dick...did i see that anywhere? nope. was this SAME EXACT thing posted in another post? doubt it. were you the only one who had to be a dick about this post? yup! thanks for your positive and intelligent input though...really shows your knowledge and football IQ. thanks again.

agreed 100%...shoot, i would love for ray lewis to hit me!

Wow, awesome...the guy from the beatles played for the bills?
