    Slowly, I'm starting to like this team

    Once the dust settled in regarding my dissapointment over not landing the Wolfe/Sherman tandem I coveted. I been thinking more and more and I'm starting to dig the direction this team is going in.

    Marv: At first I thought this was nothing but a crazy marketing stunt in a feeble attempt to get fans excited again. But the more I pondered, I realized; I don't care how old he is, Marv is a smart man. Even if he's somewhat out of tune with today's game and the caponomics of it (Modrak will play a big part there), Marv still knows a good football player and a good role player when he sees one. He knows this city as well as any GM or coach we'd have brought in and he knows what it takes to win.

    Jauron: I wanted Sherman. But the more I talked to people and did some studying, Sherman had plenty of flaws. From poor draft choices during his GM days to some shaky (according) to pack fans, game day decisions. This year was the decline of Favre and first time he had a lot of injuries, and he went 4-12. I'm not saying Sherman sucks, I still liked him. But it's not like we lost out on Parcells or Bellicheck here.

    With Jauron I think it's what you see is what you get. He won't fool you. He's not going to get overly crafty on you. But from everything I've heard he gets the most out of his players. You give him some talent and he'll be a good coach. I'd like to think overall the Bills are a lot more talented than the Bears teams he led.

    I like Fairchild as O.C. considering who was out there. If we land Bates or Cotrell as DC I will be a lot more excited about this team.

    Well there is pletny of room on the for ya.

    To many people just got to mad about not hiring sherman. My best friend is a packers fan and he told me on more then one occasion that buffalo didn't want him. He just kept saying how he basically took over a team that holmgren already built for him. Going into bad draft choices and not signing quality FA.

    DJ is getting a bad rap. I know what his record is i've seen it about 10000000 times over the past few days. But the point is while in Chicago he had little talent on the offensive side of the ball. It was his defense that carried the team. While in detroit yeah that team was sad yet again but look at detroits D they kept that team in alot of games and surprisd alot of people.

    The hiring of the new OC today makes me wanna say to DJ. Atleast he got a guy who can run an offense the rams have had good players much like the bills and always put up good offensive numbers.

    The only thing left for DJ and ML to do is get some players who can help this team. ALLAH the O-line and D-line overall it's loooking good but i'm always optimistic.

      Good post, if we can get a solid DC like Bates, I would definitely come around.

          More and more Sherman reminds me of a really nice, grandfatherly-looking Wanny. Takes over a team that someone else built and rides it to the playoffs every year, but can't actually do anything with it because he's not good enough as a coach. And when things go wrong, the entire ship breaks down and he gets canned.

          Too bad Jauron is not getting anybody excited except Chris Villarreal.

              The Fairchild hire is perfect for this team, but the DC will make or break this upcoming season. We need someone that can get the Bills D back on track. The talent is their. Hopefully Marv gets the coach we greatly need.

              Not until then will I project my opinion about his team.

                    Hey, Jamie Martin was QB for part of the season this year for the cRams and played decently. I think JP has much more talent than Martin.

                      Don't forget about Fitzpatrick too.

                            I thought we were just going to keep Gray which I would not be opposed to doing.
