Stephen#1 Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 Coach Mularkey is the same damn coaching mind of Gregg Williams except instead of passing the ball ALL game he wants to RUN the ball all game. Why can't we just have a balanced offense with a passing AND running game to keep teams guessing? Drew Bledsoe has the arm and accuracy but the HYPED up O-Line is another failure that Donahoe put together and tried to make it out to be so great before they even played together. In 02' when Bledsoe came here and he was phenomenal and threw for over 4,000 yds. and set club records while Henry ran for over 1,400 yds. That is an offense that was balanced because we had Peerless Price as a downfield threat and a weak defense caused Donahoe to make some changes on the defense, he gave us Takeo Spikes and Fletcher but he gave up the guy who made the offense click in Peerless Price, as a result the next year in 03' was a horrible offense and a great defense. I am glad T.D> made the moves to get Takeo, London, Lawyer, and Vincent but he also made the terrible decisions to hire not 1 but 2!!! unexperienced head coaches in Williams and Mularkey. We now have the Buffalo Steelers team because T.D> hires anyone as long as they have Pittsburgh on their resume. When a rookie coach goes through growing pains so does the team. We have had the players to win games and make it to the playoffs for the last 3 years but nobody to lead them and actually CORRECT the things that are SUPPOSEDLY correctable, how many times do we have to hear that before they're fixed? So my point is, the Coaches can't really be blamed totally because if you wanted to coach and some deuschbag from Pittsburgh offerred you a head coaching job wouldn't you take it? I would. Tom Donahoe is the core of the problem in Buffalo and as long as he is there we will never sniff greatness again, I pray every night for Marv Levy to come back and fix everything. Even Marv said before the season started that it was the coaches job to eliminate problems between two players competing for a job, referring to Henry and McGahee. He said that the coach had to make the players understand what thier roles were and make them both happy, he compared it to the Thurman Thomas and Kenneth Davis situation and how they both were very good backs and learned play to together and to be very productive. Even Marv knows Mularkey sucks and for being a so-called offensive genius his playbook these first two weeks SUCK!!!! KILL T.D.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LabattBlue Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 I'm not happy with the start but this is even radical for me to buy into. The guy has coached two games. He has at least 3 seasons unless the first two are complete disasters. The Losman era will be here before you know it!!!!
Frez Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 Losman= another Donahoe pick................... Are we billsfanone?
Stephen#1 Posted September 22, 2004 Author Posted September 22, 2004 I know it's his first 2 games and that's the problem, he has never been a head coach and our players on the Bills team are experienced veterans, they need a proven leader. Why couldn't we have gotten serious about Coughlin or Parcells or Fassel or Marvin Lewis or Lovie Smith? Atleast Lovie Smith came from the Super Bowl Champs and not the horrible Steelers where Mularkey built an offense around KORDELL STEWART for how long? And T.D. thinks he's an offensive genius why? The steelers suck and now so do we, these first two games have had horrible play calling to where the opposing defense knows that they are running and knows that they are passing finally when it's 3rd and 15. I was waiting the entire game for Bledsoe to throw a deep ball and finally in the fourth quarter he got to throw 1.. I repeat 1 deep ball to Lee Evans and look what happened..a perfect completion for 65 yds. that setup the only touchdown of the day but it was too late. The offensive line is the worst that I have seen on the Bills for quite a while and the penalties are even worse, that kind of stuff is what is supposed to be taken care of when camp starts. I have been a Bills fan my entire life while having 4 brothers that are die-hard Cowboys fans, and I'm the youngest in the family. I have stuck with the Bills and fought for them and believed in them before AND after they ever reached the Super Bowl in 90'. But now when I watch them and the coaching strategy this year and especially the last two years I can't stand it, I hope that Mularkey and the team gel together but I find it very hard and nearly impossible to believe it. Tom Donahoe needed to be removed after he turned down Ted Cottrell for the head coaching job and hired Gregg Williams, and you wonder why Cowart, Wiley, and Winfield are gone? The defensive players LOVED Cottrell and wanted nothing more than to play for him.....wouldn't you want your team to love and embrace the Head Coach?
nick in* england Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 Stephen#1=DB 40747[/snapback] RJ=DB or is it the other way around?
Mark VI Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 What a stupid post. 2 games into his Head Coaching career. Can't make any judgements about him for 2 years, minimum. Plus he is saddled with some Vets who can't get the job done.
mcjeff215 Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 Blah blah blah blah blah. I really wish we'd get away from the "I wish Marv would come back" train of thought.... because... well.... It just isn't going to happen. Need to play with the cards we've been dealt. Oh, and for the love of all that is holy, Mike has only played TWO DAMN GAMES. So far, I think he's on the right track. -Jeff

buckeyemike Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 Tell Coach Mularkey to watch his back for the knives. Two games...TWO GAMES...do not a coaching career make. Joe Gibbs lost his first five games as Redskins coach...and the Washington media was ready to feed him to the lions...fans were ready to jump off bridges...and he won three Super Bowls. Go figure. Mike
jad1 Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 Mularkey built an offense around KORDELL STEWART for how long? And T.D. thinks he's an offensive genius why? Uh, dude, you answered your own question there. Anyone who can make the AFC Championship game with Stewart as his QB qualifies as an offensive genius, end of argument.

gantrules Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 too long, too hard to read, no structure and from the replies it wasn't worth it anyways.
Captain America Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 Donahoe is the problem he has failed to make the necessary right moves to turn this team around. :I starred in Brokeback Mountain:
