Frank Reich's press conference

[The Bills Blog]

I would highly recommend that all Bills fans watch the first 5 minutes of Frank Reich's press conference addressing Luck's retirement and how the Colts will move forward. Powerful stuff for any sports fan but particularly interesting for Bills fans. Reich closes his 5-minute remarks by quoting Marv Levy.

I think Reich speaks more like a pastor than a football coach in the traditional sense.

 

The Colts with Reich will be an extremely interesting organization to monitor this year and going forward.

Agreed - you can really hear the influence Marv had on him and his own spiritual journey.  

 

I think he is is one of very few coaches that can weather this storm and keep the team together and moving forward.  I don’t think they will be good, but they will fight as a team.

 

I love his demeanor and his attitude on this.

They're toast. You did see Brissett play against us, yes?

Brisset handed the bills the easiest win vs the pats I can ever recall

[DaBillsFanSince1973]

wish you well frank, you were thrown a curve but you have the mentality (see the greatest comeback in football history) and drive to over come.

Great players and great coaches thrive under adversity  and stressful situations. They do not melt. They learn more, work harder, become tougher and will find new pathways to succeed, when dangers lurk, bad things happen, and when unexpected curveballs come their way.

Definitely a good speech. At first, it sounded like a eulogy. And it very well may be, but for the Colts. I guess tanking didn’t work out.

Yep.

 

As soon as Chad Kelly comes off his suspension I would put him out there.....but I think they’ll stay the course with Brisette and sink like a stone.

How long is Chad out on suspension?

Ask the Sabres how tanking works...

In all fairness though, wasn't he playing injured that game but they had no one else to play so he had to?  Or am I remembering that wrong?

Or like a "Chaplin"?

I alway thought Marv was a good coach. Sometimes it’s seemed like he was slow to make adjustments on the fly during a game but he was a good coach overall.  Where I think Marv was elite is in his ability to motivate. Marv gave speeches that you would hear after the game that made you as a fan want to run through a brick wall for the guy. He also had a amazing ability to get a read on the type of personality that everyone on that team had and used the correct level of go hard or soft. 

 

I know Marv lives in Chicago and I hope I see him one time at Lincoln Station or Delilah’s on game day. 

 

Frank Reich looks like he has adopted a Marv type of mentality as a coach.

Frank Reich has a solid foundation to be the coach of the Colts.  

[NoHuddleKelly12]

Reich's a straight up good dude, and I have little doubt he has what it takes to keep that team on track, apart from that. Best backup QB of all time! 

[JESSEFEFFER]

The greatest comeback in NCAA history, may still be true, and the greatest comeback in NFL history as a QB and brought his team from 1 and 5 to a 10 and 6 playoff season as the HC.  I think he knows something about mental toughness and leadership.

Garoppolo (sp.) was injured and Brady was suspended. I think BB stopped trying once he realized that game really would mean nothing down the line in the season.

I don't believe he was injured, but they had no one else to play as Jimmy g was hurt and unable to play(announced morning of the game) and Brady was suspended. 

 

 

[Mark80]

Yeah, for some reason I thought it came out later that he was actually playing hurt too but since JG and TB were hurt they had no one else to go in there.
