Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I'm sure I missed it- I don't care. Frank Reich - Bills Legacy - back up QBs seem to make nice coaches - Reich has been moving up the chain at a nice clip Look I know we are stuck with the windbag in all Likelihood for years more- Until it's clear continuity isn't the problem becasuse it just continues Mediocrity. Just wish someone sees that slam dunk just sitting there in time to make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 If the plan was to tank and get rid of him right away then sure why not. If you're actually trying to win games then Reich would be horrible. Bills fans love living in the past though. It makes them feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

mrags Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I have a serious problem with bringing back former players/legends to coach for this team or attempt to be a savior for this team. It rarely ever works out in a positive way and it usually deflates the legacy of that former player. Bills fans love living in the past though. It makes them feel all warm and fuzzy inside.this too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think the number one asset for these guys is they are passionate about their team winning not just because of their own ego.

Unless you want to go back to pre-merger glory days in the 1960s, the only period in this franchise's entire history worth 2 ***** is the time when Reich played on the team. Why not cling onto that for dear life! What else does a man have!? I'm not even sure we have much hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Are you talking about Reich? He had more than one good game. That is for sure. Doesn't mean he will be a good or bad coach...but he was a very good backup QB and he did a lot more than win the big comeback game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r00tabaga Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 He had TWO great comebacks, wasn't just one. Indy. He was a very good QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 He is doing a nice job now. Peterson runs the offense for the Eagles. I really don't know what Reich's job is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not at the table Karlos Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Peterson runs the offense for the Eagles. I really don't know what Reich's job is there. this seems to be the theme with him. Peyton's QB coach, McCoy ran offense in SD, and Peterson in philly.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Peterson runs the offense for the Eagles. I really don't know what Reich's job is there. Peterson... a back up QB who's seeming like a good coach. He even has a philly jersey of his own from 99. Another one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metzelaars_lives Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) He had TWO great comebacks, wasn't just one. Indy. He was a very good QB. Indy? He had a great college comeback with Maryland. But if you're referring to the 97 game against Indy, which is, in fact, one of the greatest comebacks in NFL history, that was Todd Collins.

But I think the number one asset for these guys is they are passionate about their team winning not just because of their own ego. ugh. Just because Elway is a good GM doesn't mean Reich is the answer for our HC. Or any former player for that matter. Yes, former players all over the league are coaches and GMs. It happens. They are almost always former players. Just depends on the teams they get hired. Id rather not be the team to get all nostalgic about their beloved player from back in the glory years. Marv Levy was a great GM btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Oh I see...the board hates Rex again. You guys are the most bi-polar people on Earth. Never mind we have zero offensive weapons cuz the few we have are all hurt. 4 game win streak and Rex is back. A close loss to a surging Dolphins team and a game against easily the best team in the NFL and the sky is falling again. Now Frank Reich is the answer? Can he play WR?
