wil1226 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 With 1:59 remaining, the Ravens faced second-and-one at the Buffalo 49. Instead of calling for a running play to pick up the first down, Billick decided to throw three times - all incompletions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffalOhio Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 He never really had good offenses, and his defenses were not of his doing, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pioniere Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 He never really had good offenses, and his defenses were not of his doing, either. Well, except for when he was the OC in Minnesota. That team set an NFL record for points scored in a season, and is why he was offered the HC job in Baltimore to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12Kachy Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Don't freak out yet. He was just on the NFL channel and said he has not had any contact with the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan714 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I agree, in Baltimore I never saw the offensive genius of Brian. The D carried that team and the O was a train wreck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What coach hasn’t called a few boneheaded calls during their tenure? In 2000 the Bills were 8-8. In that same year, the Ravens, under Billick went on to throttle the Giants 34-7 in the Superbowl. 0-4 ring a bell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beastly Dareus Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 If Billick came here, he would need to be accompanied by a good Offensive and Defensive Coordinator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Well, except for when he was the OC in Minnesota. That team set an NFL record for points scored in a season, and is why he was offered the HC job in Baltimore to begin with. That and his SB ring are heavily weighed down by three offensive plays. Let the loser stay home. Who needs him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 My view is that a head coach doesn't need to be the guy with the brilliant scheme to fix the offense/defense/people who sell giant foam fingers in the stands The head coach needs to be a guy with contacts that bring those people in and then let them run the offense / defense while maintain an overall team philosophy. I'm not sold on Billick, but he does seem to have gotten that in Baltimore. I think he's aware he needs a strong defensive coordinator (and talent evaluator / GM). We've hired coaches that *knew* defense or offense. There's a reason that Gregg Williams improves the defense wherever he goes, but was an awful head coach. Billick may be an *ssclown, but I'm not as much against him as I was originally. Also, it would make for a battle of the "BB"s in the AFC East.

He gives the bills a good shot to put together an top flight coaching staff and professionally put together a staff and a roster. When is tha last time we have seen that ?

DDD Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I agree, in Baltimore I never saw the offensive genius of Brian. The D carried that team and the O was a train wreck. I don't think any coach would be considered an offensive genius if he had to work with Trent Dilfer, Elvis Grbac, or Kyle Boller. I like Billick as coach and would be happy to have him in Buffalo.

EasternOHBillsFan Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 With 1:59 remaining, the Ravens faced second-and-one at the Buffalo 49. Instead of calling for a running play to pick up the first down, Billick decided to throw three times - all incompletions. "The Ravens joined Super Bowl XVIII's Los Angeles Raiders in the record books as the only teams to score offensive, defensive and special teams touchdowns in the same Super Bowl. All the main contributors for the Ravens on offense, defense, and special teams were Lewises. Jamal Lewis was the top rusher of the game, Jermaine Lewis notched 145 yards and a touchdown on special teams, and linebacker Ray Lewis was named Super Bowl MVP. In addition, the Ravens defense was coached by Marvin Lewis. The Ravens defense has since been considered among the greatest of all time." Baltimore Ravens, Super Bowl XXXV Champions- HC? Brian Billick. Has anyone associated with the Buffalo Bills done this since 1965?!?!?! What other bona fide coach is out there for us to bring in now that Shanahan and Cowher said PASS?!?!!! THINK about what you have witnessed since 1995 and get back with me... WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judman Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Cowher wants the job in Carolina, period. John Fox is done in one year. Leave him alone. I too have warmed to Billick, maybe with Weis as OC? I am willing to forgive some bad decisions by an HC, including Billick's own timeout call against the Pats. Try it.

Very true Trent Dilfer vs. Trent Edwards Elvis Grbac vs. Ryan Fitzpatrick Kyle Boller vs. Brian Brohm Billick's version of Ground Hog Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well beggers cant be choosers and having been turned down by Cowher and Shanahan makes us beggers.Getting Cowher in here would have energized the fans,Not so sure about Billick.

And he's known to be such an offensive guy... ..perhaps it's his arrogance and ego that are offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
