ACor58 Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 The 1999-2000 St. Louis Rams starring your very own Buffalo Bills Up and coming Offensive Coordinator Mike Martz - Steve Fairchild Up and Coming Wide Out Torry Holt - Lee Evans QB on the verge but nobody knew it Kurt Warner - Craig Nall "Bad Coach" that no one wanted Dick Vermeil - Dick Jauron Stud RB Marshall Faulk - Willis MacGahee London Fletcher as himself Keep the faith baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
stuckincincy Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 and the Rams were 4-12 the year before. 638943[/snapback] I remember their game with BUF that year. One could sense that something was coming.
Phlegm Alley Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 Did they blow the fuggin thing up the year after their 4-12 season?
apuszczalowski Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 But Marv sucks, he didn't bring us Bentley, and Ralph and him are old and fed pudding all day as they drool and reminisce about the olden days. Doom and Gloom, Doom and Gloom Sarcasim OFF Seriously, anything can happen from year to year. I can see the Bills turning some heads next season and in a good way, too bad the fans are already calling for the heads of the coaching and front office staff before even seeing their plan in action.
ACor58 Posted March 22, 2006 Author Posted March 22, 2006 Did they blow the fuggin thing up the year after their 4-12 season? 638959[/snapback] Yes. They were 5-12 in 97, 4-12 in 98 and they went on to finish 13-3 BTW, that was the year that they beat the cheaters from Tenessee after the HR forward pass. Vermeil was also coach of the year in 1980, Jauron in 2001.
Stl Bills Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 Willis couldn't hold Marshal Faulks jock back in 1999; two completely different players and Faulk was what made that whole offense tick IMHO. That being said, anything can happen and I hope you are right.

I recall a feature several years ago, that said he had a great memory, and knew the tendencies of each team's defensive opponents.

(with opposing batters)
stuckincincy Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 Dick Vermiel was never a lousy coach 639032[/snapback] His playoff Philly teams were tops. And Jaworski is known to a lot of folks because of his ESPN gig, but he was a fine qb and as tough as they come.

2003Contenders Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 Also, not to rain on anyone's parade, but those 1999 Rams played in a dreadful NFC West and didn't have to face the Pats and Dolphins twice each. Even so, I'd like to keep faith alive too, as the Pats are on the downside -- and we SHOULD have beat the Dolphins twice last year.
VABills Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 Dick Vermiel was never a lousy coach 639032[/snapback] Exactly. He was a burned out coach, but never bad. Also Fletch is still good, but he is only a shadow of his former self.
stuckincincy Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 Jaws is from Lackawanna. 639053[/snapback] Jaws of Steel.

Yeah they went on and won the superbowl, but they had a cake walk regular season schedule. Still what they did on offense that year was really something special to watch.
