Nick in RaChaCha Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 The last two years make a great case for best defensive coordinator! He continues to get better... which means we may lose him soon for a head coaching position somewhere. (and no I'm not saying that the sky is falling... it is just a reality, that great coordinators get offers for head coaching positions ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark VI Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 but what about walt corey and his swizzle stick? 159438[/snapback] Anyone else think his lack of adjustments cost the Bills Superbowl 25 vs the Giants? "Bend, don't break" D.... Grrrr...I wonder if that worked on his neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick in RaChaCha Posted December 14, 2004 Author Share Posted December 14, 2004 but what about walt corey and his swizzle stick? 159438[/snapback] IMHO. Walt's "D" is not even close to the domination that Gray's "D" is putting on opposing offensives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campy Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Anyone else think his lack of adjustments cost the Bills Superbowl 25 vs the Giants? 159439[/snapback] Not me. I held Kelly accountable. Despite the two down-linemen showed all game by NYG, Kelly kept trying to pass the ball. Wed should have run the ball 30-35 times between Thurm and Kenny Davis. Instead, we threw the ball. Add to that Andre Reed getting drilled (he may have been hurt a bit on that hit) and short-arming every ball thrown his way up to the last drive. That didn't help. But we just kept on throwing the ball. There's no way our I'm letting our offense off the hook for that one. Our D did their job, it should never have been close.

Otis Anderson left, Otis Anderson right,Otis Anderson left...no adjustment at all. ARRRRRRRGGH ! You are also correct, Chris. Kelly got pass happy and Thurman should have had 10-12 more carries, minimum. Watching that early lead vanish was quite frustrating. To this day, I cannot watch the replay. The second the Norwood FG comes on, I turn my head or switch the channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Not yet imo. Wade Phillips was/is a great DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnTheRocks Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 i am not saying he isn't the best the Bills have ever had, but my favorite was and still is Tom Catlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeRay Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Although I liked both Wade Phillips and Ted Cotrell, I don't think they were the best... and I'm not sold on Jerry Gray just yet. My vote goes to Tom Catlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Not even close, folks. The best Bills DC EVER was Joe Collier in the 60s. It's not even close. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
