Has an outstanding reputation ...and look what he did with KC in just 3 years.

He wouldn't have come to Buffalo. No way.

Granted he is far superior to GW, but they winning on the strength of...

an all-world RB

a much improved Defense

an all-world and then some kick returner

His team has some issues.

Trent Green sucks (OK just average).

They have no WRs.

They have a great TE they don't throw to much anymore.

I wouldn't crown them the AFC rep yet. If Holmes goes down they are through.

OK, upon further review...

maybe they are winning because of his coaching.

Considering...

Henry is no Holmes, but he did rush for 1,400yds last season.

Bledsoe is better than Green, no matter what some may think.

Bills have Moulds.

So maybe it is coaching, or lack there of.

Vermiel came out of retirement to coach KC mostly because Carl Peterson, the KC GM, and Vermeil are long time buddies- he did it out of freindship. Plus, Vermeil was under contract with the Rams, and I think they paid some steep compensation in draft picks (I could be wrong on that).

That's entirely my point. He's made something out of nothing, while the Bills have something and can't do anything with it.

Besides Gonzalez and Holmes, the Bills have bigger and better talent. We should have crushed them last year and we will most likely be crushed by them this year. Vermeil is far superior to Williams.

......but you're right...he probably would never have come here. I don't think he was even an option.

Maybe? Most of us have been saying it's the coaching for weeks.

The Chefs have a great O-line, a great RB, a TE that causes mismatch problems, and enough speed at WR to keep defenses honest. Throw in an improved defense, a scary ST's, and they're the best team in the NFL currently.

Their WRs are NOTHING special.

But, do you mean they actually have tried to improve their O line? Pure Genius! Why didn't TD think of that?

I have NEVER liked GW. Bad Karma pure and simple. If not for a bad call in a playoff game against the Bills, he doesn't even get the chance to blow TD with his great interview skills.

Oh, wait. I meant "blow away".
