Any relevent feedback would be nice
I was in a Las Vegas casino watching the game, and when Gerard went to the sidelines they showed the game
clock clicking down from 2:07 to 2:06 ... The Jaguars were letting the clock run down to the 2:00 minute warning.
And then I got aggravated. The Jaguars just ran the ball. The Jaguars I believe were inside the Bills 15 yard line.
And I thought, Why didn't the Bills just let the Jaguars score? The Bills would have gotten the ball back with
over 2:00 minutes left with 1 timeout. But with the 2 minute warning it was like having 2 timeouts left. The
score would have been 18 to 15. That would have been enough time to score a touchdown to win or a
field goal to tie. The Jaguars could have tried an onside kick but the odds of getting possession would't have been
that good.
Wasn't Wood hit just below the ankle? I was waiting for another replay but they didn't show one. Both Carson Palmer and Brady were injured on the exact same type of hit. I think it was a cheap shot by the Jaguars. Talk
about a dirty play.
Why does everyone make a big deal out of Cowher? He had 15 years in Pittsburgh and has only 1 ring to show for it. If Jauron had 15 years to waste a City's time, he might have gotten 2 rings. Holmgren didn't do much with
the opportunity he had in Seattle. Gruden is alot better than these 2 choices, and I would put him in the same
league as Dungy. Better than average but Jon Gruden won a ring with Dungy's team but didn't do too well the years
following that. But the owner let alot of veteran players go. Dungy got the Colts over the hump. The years they spent with their teams and they both only have 1 ring. Maybe Belicheck is that good or when the game changed, he
was the only one to figure it out. And Parcells should get a lot more respect in light of these coaches
achievements. Weiss is a mistake waiting to happen. Shanahan might be the best choice. If he knows how
to draft great personnel, I'd go with Shanahan as GM. And if I had my choice of coach, I'd go with Haslett. To me
he's another Lindey Ruff. A coach with a B team and coaching them to play as an A team. I'd like Cottrell as a
defensive coordinator. Was he that good? Maybe not. It seems the defensive in San Diego improved after
he was fired.
The Bills should go after a free agent like when New Orleans got Drew Brees. I'm still upset about the Bills not
getting Kurt Warner when he was with the NY Giants, before he went to Arizona. Are there any teams having quarterback controversies other than Arizona? Well, that's for the new GM to decide.
If I had my choice, Would I rather have "a greatest show on earth" offense and an Ok defense, meaning winning games 45-30 and 33-31, and winning a couple of Super Bowls, or a Baltimore Ravens defense and a medicore
offense, and winning games 9-6 and 10-3, and winning a Super Bowl? When I'm sitting in a Las Vegas Casino
and buying $1 bud lights and $1 hot dogs, I'd rather win with "a greatest show on earth" offense. It's a hell of alot
more entertaining to watch. Hire Shanahan, resign TO and get a quarterback. Maybe Martz would be willing to OC
for Shanahan?
Just another great fan opinion shared on the pages of BuffaloRumblings.com.

Let them score?
The Bills were winning, up by five point Keep the Jags out of the end zone and they win. They didn’t and lost. Why purposely give up the lead with 2:00 min. remaining?

You didnt see the end of the jags/jets game last week i assume
MJD took a knee right before the endzone when the Jets tried to let him score a TD and get the ball back, which ended up costing them the game.

They could also win with a FG, which they could not do against Buffalo. Totally different situation.

You are quite the optimist. Assuming that we have the option of which type of super bowl winner we want to be is something most fans don’t get to do. Frankly, I’d take either.
Also, it wasn’t even close to being a cheap shot. The player who injured him (can’t remember who) wasn’t even going for Wood. It was a complete freak accident.

1) Outside of a lucky 98 yard “drive” the farthest the Bills moved the ball in the 2nd half was 13 yards. The odds of them getting into field goal range were slim and nil.
2) You’d be wrong. The great thing about the internet is that almost every football blog has linked to video of the Wood injury. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3sxYA16Qfk Not even close to being dirty. It would be nice though if he did get hit just below the ankle since that would be a broken foot and not a leg.
3) Marv Levy coached here for 12 years and got no rings. Cowher made the playoffs 10 times in those 15 years. The Bills haven’t made the playoffs in 10 years (and counting.)
4) If you can find me a Drew Brees in free agency I’ll do anything you want. The only two QBs at that level that will be free agents anytime soon are Tom Brady in 2 years and Drew Brees in 3. There’s no chance we sign either. What QB controversy is Arizona having? Who’s the better #2, Leinart or St. Pierre?
5) The Greatest Show on Turf won exactly 1 Super Bowl, same as Cowher. Little know fact about those teams, the year they won it all they had the 4th best defense in the NFL and the year they lost it they had the 7th. If you can’t play D you’re not getting anywhere.

As for #5: True about the Rams, but it’s a lot easier to play D when you know the O is going to put up 30+ every game! Kevin Carter and Grant Wistrom got a couple awfully big contract for being able to tee off on the QB every down, since the opposing team had to pass 75% of the time in order to keep up!

Funny thing about that.
The Rams best year offensively was 2000, the year they only went 10-6 and had the worst defense in the league. Their defense was highly underrated.

When the news broke.
That Parcells was talking to the Falcons then took the Miami job
My first thought was lets up the offer.
Unfortunately Ralph has been behind the curve for awhile.
I really like Parcells, I like him more then Bellichick.
As for Cowher, he may have only won 1 ring, but he got the personel for Tomlin to win a second, he left coaching when he was peaking.
I think Shanahan is the best fit for us, but Cowher is a close second now that Gruden is off the table.
I think Cowher would like Marshawn too, it’s his kind of RB. PUNISHING!
He also knows how to deal with the elements.
It’s not an easy task to win a superbowl, just because he only has one ring in 15 seasons, doesn’t mean he couldn’t be a good fit for us.

Kudos to those who responded
You’re right. The Wood injury was a freak accident. Like I said, I was waiting for a second
replay and they didn’t show it. Cowher’s a loser. Thank God he balked. Would I rather have
4 super bowl appearances in a row, or 1 appearance and 1 Super Bowl win in 15
years? Marv’s a genius compared to Cowher. I’d pay Cohwer $500,000 guaranteed,
and the rest on incentives. He’s that bad. The same for Dungy, Gruden and Holmgren.
And what’s the deal with Fisher in Tennessee? He should have been fired in
the early 2000’s. Talk about a slow death and wasting a city’s time? Maybe the NFL is
no longer about sport but about the good ole boy network. I think it’s the Mike Milan
complex. Or a popularity contest. You see the guy as an analyst on the boob tube,
give him more credit than he’s worth, disregard the facts, and hire these people to
waste a city and fans time with, “We’ll get ’em next year”. Cowher did that for 14 years.
How long did it take for that guy from Oklahoma to win a Super Bowl after Jimmie
Johnson left. A year or two? DON’T BUY INTO THE MEDIA BULLCRAP AND HYPE! The fans should have 300% more weight than the trash and bums in the Media. The owners should not
be sitting in front of the boob tube and thinking, “What would some loser sportswriter
or media analyst in NYC do? Let’s turn on the boob tube and find out”.
What they should do is pay
attention to someone who has 3,000 times the knowledge and 500,000 the heart invested in a team, and that is, YOU THE FANS IN BUFFALO NY!! (OK 50% of your fan
base moved away and sit in places like Buffalo Wild Wings all over the United States or
Las Vegas Casinos and cheer their hearts out, and when the Bills lose, look to Craiglist
to find girls to cushion the blow).

Kudos to Buffalo Kid but...
I had to go through the OJ Simpson era. Let me tell you about the Buffalo Bills fans. I
will use TO as an example. TO was in San Francisco and he made a name for himself.
And he became maybe infamous as opposed to famous. He went to Philly and if
he screwed up, they were on him like fly on, well, you know… Then he went to Dallas
and whether deserved or undeserved, he was dumped on. But even though TO
might deserve the same treatment in Buffalo, the fans hang on his every word. Almost
as if, he might have the answer. The solution to what’s happening.
They don’t shut this guy off. They almost
demand to hear him speak before they pass judgment on what’s going on with the
team. And although he dropped 10 critical passes this season, it is all forgive and forget
when he caught a touchdown pass against Tampa, and a touchdown run on the end around, and a touchdown against Jacksonville. Why? Because it’s all about some
kind of dignity, no matter how little. TO at least has given BUFFALO some dignity
which Lynch had done in the past, and now Jackson has done this season. Believe me,
if I know Buffalo, TO if he walked into a bar there, would have 10 people lining up to
buy him a drink. That wouldn’t have happened in Dallas or Philly with a 3-7 record,
or even SF. It’s about dignity. It is all about entertainment in Buffalo and winning in
style! Not Fisher or Cowher or Gruden kind of boring winning. It’s about OJ
running for 250 yards in one game. Or 2,003 in a season. It’s about Jack Kemp winning
the AFL championship after being rejected by other teams.
It’s about Kelly throwing to Reed over the middle.
It’s about Reich hitting Tasker in the end zone. It’s about Flutie running and diving
over the pylon to show once again, The underdog matters! A small market
team from a City that gets knocked down and just keeps on ticking!

I would not trade the era of Levy, Kelly, Thomas, Smith, Reed, ad infinum
(Got to mention Talley because he gets no respect) for what Nashville has had
to endure under Fisher or Pittsburgh went through with Cowher or Tampa went through
with Gruden. At least with Jauron, it wasn’t a long and drawn out slow death. He had
3 1/2 years (the press said he had the option to remain until the end year of the year as head coach) and didn’t get it done. He stepped aside. I think that shows alot of
class. Also walking away with alot of money to retire on is a very strong incentive.
But if he won a Super Bowl and coached another 14 years winning games by 6-3 and
14-7, I’d have to find the nearest bar that broadcasted the Sabres games, and
see if the UB games were being televised.

you are dead wrong on Mike Holmgren InSinCity
Holmgren didn’t do much with the opportunity he had in Seattle
Not really sure what this statement is based on and its very much incorrect. I’m pretty sure Holmgren got Seattle to its first Super Bowl, got them their best record in franchise history (13-3), four consecutive division titles, and in eight years with the club Holmgren took the Seahawks to five playoff visits.
This is all in addition to his two Super Bowl appearances with Green Bay, six consecutive playoff trips, and three division titles i nthe NFC North.
Holmgren would have become the only coach in NFL history to have won a Super Bowl with two teams had the referees not robbed the Seahawks of a championship over the Steelers.
He has also coached two QBs to pro bowls and Super Bowls as a head coach – Favre and Hasslebeck – and was the QBs coach for San Fransisco guiding Joe Montana and Steve Young to their own Super Bowls and pro bowls. When elevated to offensive coordinator of the 49ers Holmgren guided the niners to the number one ranked offense in 1989 and as offensive coordinator and QB coach Holmgren helped the niners win back to back Super Bowls during which they set records for most offensive points nad margin of victory in a championship.
Mike Holmgren is one of the greatest coaches of all time and he has been unimagineably successful everywhere hes gone and in whatever capacity. His coaching tree is enormous because he is a teacher as well as a winner.

Did Mike Holmgren coach Seattle to 4 straight Super Bowl appearances?
I don’t think so. So to hire somebody to f*rt around in Buffalo for ten years so we can
see the Bills win 4 AFC East division titles and 1 losing Super Bowl appearance is a waste of everyone’s time.
I think next year is finally the time for the Ravens to move to the AFC East, the Dolphins to the AFC South and the Colts to the AFC North. The Bills-Dolphins rivalry is history. Although
Ralph Wilson may still hold a grudge about not getting a team in Miami and being
stuck with a team in Buffalo, that shouldn’t matter anymore. Believe me, if he had
gotten the franchise in Miami like he wanted instead of Buffalo, he wouldn’t be living
in Detroit, he would have moved to Miami a long time ago.

Are you intentionally changing the subject?
You said Holmgren didn’t do much in Seattle. I corrected you by pointing out he took a down in the dumps franchise and guided them to four consecutive division titles, five playoff births and a Super Bowl that many argue they should have won but for bad calls by the refs. Thats doing something with your “opportunity”.
This has nothing to do with your statement about bringing him to Buffalo.

And I thought, Why didn’t the Bills just let the Jaguars score?
I said the same thing in the game thread. I think some people chose not to mock me, assuming I was drunk on bourbon.
I understand the message it would’ve sent. And in PF’s first game as a head coach coming from a defensive background, it almost sounds absurd. But that defense was tired at the time. The TOP in the 2nd half was ridiculous. Once Jax got into the redzone, it wasn’t a matter if they would score, but when.
On the vice-verse of that, you could say it would be stupid to have faith in Buffalo’s offense, given what they did in the 2nd half. I’d still rather have taken a chance on a putrid offense to get in field goal range with two minutes and a TO left, then try and hope for a stand. Wasn’t Jonathon Scott in at DT for a few plays? That has to tell you the D was absolutely spent…
Of course, I could be wrong…
