26CornerBlitz Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 R.I.P. Condolences to Friends, Family, and Loved Ones.
Nihilarian Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 RIP Mr Marchibroda http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/14581999/ted-marchibroda-former-indianapolis-colts-baltimore-ravens-coach-dies-age-84 Man was our offensive coordinator during the Superbowls years yet barley no mention of his time spent with the BILLS. The man was the main reason that 90's Bills offense was so potent. He taught Jim Kelly to call his own plays and was basically responsible for that hurry up / no huddle offense. Jim Kelly was so good at running the 2 min drill so Ole Ted had him start running it all game long. Then the he brought back the old Redskin "counter trey" run scheme which allowed Thurman Thomas his great cut back lanes. Ted Marchibroda was the Colts ex-head coach who tutored QB Burt Jones into a playoff QB. Those Colts never could get by the Steelers in the playoffs. Anyway, it stunk when the Colts re-hired Marchibroda away from Buffalo after the 91 season. Interesting note that Jim Harbaugh was the Colts QB at that time.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 RIP. Was he even mentioned in the Four Falls 30 for 30?

joemac Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 RIP Ted, loved your time here in Buffalo. Condolences to your family and friends.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) yes I think so Thanks, I watched it once on Christmas morning. It was very emotional for me, as for most of us. Between Christmas and the Four Falls, i reflected on times past with people who are not with me anymore and huge Bills fans. Glad they gave mention to Ted, he was a good coach. He knew how to handle a good QB. Edited January 17, 2016 by atlbillsfan1975
Mark Vader Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 RIP Ted Thank you for all you brought to the Bills.
Chandler#81 Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Thank you for the unforgettable thrills, Ted! Rest in Peace.

Wanted to see him stay at least one more season as OC, but can't blame him for accepting an HC position. RIP.
BobbyC81 Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Damn, the last couple of years: Ralph Wilson, Van Miller, Bob Kaufman, now Marchibroda. I think I'm also forgetting someone?

The BLUES Brothers Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 I was texted with the sad news by a Bills Brother who let me know - made me remember how exciting he helped make us ~ Thoughts and Prayers to his Family and very nice sentiments from here to them
