mob16151 Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 No, but he did once say "It's okay Trent. I know you are the best Trent you can be!" PTR Actually he said...."It's ok Trent I'm not a fan of the Buffalo Bills either."
The Big Cat Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 You really did defend Dick endlessly. And now you want Fewell after one game. I actually like Perry but I'm not sure if he's worthy of retaining the position. Let's see how the rest of the season plays out before we anoint him the next one. I did defend Dick, endlessly. And shamelessly so. It was an endorsement I maintained until just a few days before OBD canned him. Can't help if I have a finger on the FO pulse (for better or worse). But I wouldn't go so far as to say I want Fewell. I'd be okay with him as HC, and unlike the torch-and-pitchfork variety among us, I wouldn't throw a hissy fit if they extended him an offer, at least not at this point.

turftoe Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 I thought for sure we'd win last week. I really did. Learned his game management skills from Jauron and snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory!

Considering all of the candidates??? I don't know man. I like his intensity but he'll have to show me a lot more before I even consider the idea of extending him an offer as our head coach.
The Big Cat Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Learned his game management skills from Jauron and snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory! I'm not excusing the disaster at the end of the first half against Jax, but when do we also start blaming the quarterback for that kind of mismanagement?

But, as I re-posted from IndyJay earlier in this thread, he's everything Jauron isn't (at least at this point). So, if we're equally unsuccessful under Fewell, then perhaps the blame really does fall on the players and finding a coach isn't as much of a priority as revamping the roster.

He is everything Jauron isn't, and I mean that in the most positive way.

I tend to think were just not that talented. I mean looking over our roster I only see a few guys you can build around. Byrd,Evans,Wood.. Every one else is pretty league average or else they're talented but older or younger and unproven.

You just need a quarterback, and a damn good one at that.
mob16151 Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 You can't have a team of all-stars. You just need a quarterback, and a damn good one at that. Yea but you also need some above average players here and there. And I tend to think as long as you have a dominating interior Defense and a good qb you'll be fine. It's worked out well for the Giants anyhow.
TheChimp Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Nobody complained when the SB Bills routinely practiced in the bubble during the golden years. Those players couldn't be accused of being soft and Marv rarely, if ever, practiced in inclement weather. It was more important for the team to have quality practices with good execution of the game plan. GO BILLS!!! Right? Maybe Fewell should also let them go out and booze it up before the Superbowl, too. Yeah marv and his band of selfish !@#$s are a great example. You do remember they LOST all four in a row, right? GO PERRY!!
gobillsinytown Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 lol, me too, but we're going to have a new OC next season regardless I tell you what makes me vomit in my mouth is the number of QB/RB tandems we've had this decade. RJ/Antowain, Bledsoe/Henry, JP/McGahee, Edwards/Marshawn.....holy CRAP, that's nuts. That's obviously not even a comprehensive list. We need some frickin stability! You're right, but I think that the real problem is no stability along the O-line. Only Bledose/Henry had something resembling a quality NFL line to work with. QB/RB tandems work better when the QB isn't getting drilled into the turf on pass plays and the RB isn't getting hit behind the line of scrimmage on running plays.
SteamRoller67 Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Yeah, having an indoor facility really hurt the Giants....AND the Steelers.....AND the Patriots...... Andf that Brett Favre...whos from the hottest part of the Country and HATES the cold...hes a "soft player, too. Great thought process meathead. I'm not implying the Bills need to practice outside all week in pads regardless of temperature or weather conditions. At some point, you need to pad up outdoors and practice in more than spandex. Is it safe to assume you never played a down of football in your life? You sure as hell don't practice in the gym all week.
4BillsintheBurgh Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Honeslty though, I like what Fewell has done so far in terms of making these guys football players again. But Fewell totally blew the game management at half and in the 4th, then in his press confrence he admitted he was playing for 3 at half, not a TD. That my friends is a LOSER any way you cut it. FGs lose games in the NFL because they mean you didnt score 7, and are just a sign that the other team will beat you in the end. Add in the little buddy cover two, I am not a fan. Have you seen the offense he's working with? He should have said he was hoping for a field goal...
Delete This Account Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Wow. People are really settling on Perry Fewell as head coach after a single game?? Why is it a wonder that this team has sucked for so long? The people expect so little that they are very easy to please. have you ever posted anything positive? and if so, please provide some proof. i got a real big chuckle out of this one, because it's become evident that you'd find something wrong with winning the lottery on a sunny day, right after you inherited a beer factory and married Ms. Scarlett Johansson before rushing off to Europe to accept a Nobel Peace Prize. it's football. Perry did an ok job for one game. why such negativity? jw

THE GASH STATION Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 lol... I'm really liking this guy so far. It's nice to see someone who remembers that this is FOOTBALL I agree...Fewell wants to be the HC and he is demanding and hungry. His players play hard and he holds them accountable. Can't help but think of this quote from Gordon Gecco in WALL STREET "Most of these Harvard MBA types - they don't add up to dog****. Give me guys that are poor, smart, hungry - and no feelings. You win a few, you lose a few, but you keep on fighting."
