PearlHowardman Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Marv Levy and the rest of the coaching staff were massively out coached in that game Marv also gave the last one away by coaching scared for the FG at the end of the first half instead of being aggressive and going for the TD Jim Kelly was a total ball-hog for wanting to throw. Two, three, perhaps four more touches by Thurman Thomas in the late 4th quarter and the Bills win. The Bills defense gave up WAY too many big plays!! These tired Bills defensive players were in the Tampa bars all week while the Giants offense was sleeping and getting valuable rest. But, FWIW - if the Giants beat SF by a score of 51-3 and the Bills beat the Raiders by a score of 15-12 it would have likely been the Giants players out partying and the Bills players sleeping in their hotels. The Bills momentum from the AFC Championship game was probably psychologically unstoppable while the Giants left their game scared to death having beat SB by only 3 points and scoring no TDs.
Steve O Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 I agree about the GM part. However, he judged the talent & cuts to build 4 straight SB clubs... Made it to 4 straight super bowls in spite of Marv, not because of him.
Rob's House Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 I know Marv wasn't much of a GM, but I find it sad how little regard this community has for him.
WilliamCody Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 Marv said lots of things. He was also a terrible GM. He's also right about that. If seven rookies make your team, you don't have a lot of talent. We now have talent and are cutting rookies. It's a sign of improvement.

Captain Caveman Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 There has been some angst about cutting a few 2012 draft picks. Marv Levy (as always) nailed it: "If all your draft picks make it, what does that say about your previous years drafts?" Not trying to piss on your breakfast sandwich, but what does it say about our previous years' draft picks that we were 6-10 last year. And now what does that say about this year's draft? But I am optimistic, because that's what Bills fans do.
Max Fischer Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 Made it to 4 straight super bowls in spite of Marv, not because of him. Yeah, it's not like he was voted into the Hall of Fame. Wait, they put THAT guy into the HofF? I get it, in the 90 year history of pro football they must have let in, what, 200 coaches? Oh, 21? That's it? That can't be right, even Bills fans say he's a loser.
