European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - December 28, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 24 the stars and tripes Friday december 28, 1990 by Loti Oats los Angeles times a possible Road straight through to super bowl xxv opened sunday for the Buffalo Bills who seem to have everything it takes to end a san Francisco 4ber bid for a fifth nil championship. In a season when Joe Montana the 49er quarterback has lost his running game hell have his hands full if it s a Buffalo san Francisco super bowl one Buffalo plus is the competence of its no. 2 quarterback Frank Reich who is probably the Best backup of those who in the last two weeks have replaced eight injured nil passers the Bills Jim Kelly among them. A live never been around a smarter quarterback a a coach Marv Levy a Phi Bela Kappa Guy himself said of Reich who led the Bills past the Miami dolphins 24-14 sunday with a thoroughly professional performance. In the last week of the regular season the 4uers and Bills Are  Only 13-2 teams. And if they re both in the last game at Tampa Jan 27, the 49c is will be favored because the Bills Are not used to the super bowls pressures which can be agonizing. But when they turned Back Miami s Dan Marino on sunday the Bills made sure that the american football conference s other top teams would have to travel through Buffalo next month to Advance in the playoffs. The los Angeles raiders atone seem capable of beating the Bills on a Clear Day. In a january blizzard they wont be favored in Buffalo where wearing out in the fourth Quarter they lost a 3s-24 game three months ago. A the Long Shadow of Sam Wychec coach of the Cincinnati bengals is Likely to hangover the playoffs this Winter regardless of whether he son the scene. Consider. A in the los Angeles coliseum on sunday the raiders who want to make it 12-4 for 1990 against the san Diego chargers can again he expected to use Wythe s no huddle approach As a Par time weapon. 1 a the Bills no huddled deftly through the Miami defense. A More significant perhaps the 49ers got their Only touchdown in a losing cause without Montana sunday on a no huddle March from the opening Kickoff. Backup quarterback Steve Young made it work while getting experience for the playoffs if summoned. He obviously needed the work. Quot you keep their defensive specialists off the Field when you go without a huddle Quot Wyche said recommending it to All up to Date coaches. Liven so 49er fans were shocked to see their dub running no huddle plays. One difference Between 49er coach George Seifert and his predecessor Bill Walsh possibly is that Seifert is More Likely than Walsh to incorporate another Genius inventions. If Seifert has an ego lie controls it pretty Well. A one thing Walsh is right about Many football people concede is that no nil coach can Prosper unless he has Lull control of the draft. Leaving it up to a general manager is usually disastrous Walsh noted in his new Hook because Quot the general managers first consideration is the economic Bottom line 1 Low much will it Cost Quot in a building a Champion Quot the Hook Walsh wrote with san Francisco. Chronicle columnist Glenn Dickey lie said Quot the general manager thinks of the team s Long term future for him winning in the current season May be secondary. A the coach for his own Security must emphasize winning immediately. Quot teams that have had sustained Success have had either the same coach and general manager for years or a coach who is responsible for virtually All  Walsh makes an exception of Raider owner a1 Davis football officials stating principles often except Davis. Otherwise Walsh stresses the importance of a dictator s role for a coach a which is How he built the most successful team of modern times a 49cr team that has already won four super bowls. In Buffalo the Bills Are proving there is another Way. Wei coached by Levy the Bills were built by their general manager Bill Polian. A one team that wont be in the playoffs this Winter is the Cleveland Browns whose owner Art Moduli is taking a Media beating in Ohio. Cleveland fans embarrassed by the club s 3-12 record Are also angry they be been shouting insults up to Modell As he sits his Jaee in his hands in his Box far above the Field at Cleveland stadium. Earlier this month one fan walking around be of but looking up carried a big sign Reading a jump Art when he was thrown out of the stadium the fan a week later hired an air plane to Tow an even larger sign Reading a your cops can to get me Here. Jump Art  a a a a in angry be his even Cleveland s players were when at mid season Modell Madi third coaching change in three years firing buds arson. Quot can you imagine what Carson went through Quot the Browns Best defensive player Michael Dean Perry asked a How do you get ready for  if you done to know if you re even going to be Here Quot it s a troubled year for the Browns but it s a rare year of its kind for Modell. From 19s6 through last season his teams were 41-21-1 a Best in the acc and third Best in the nil. It is in the record that the Browns have played in three of the last four acc championship games. They made the playoffs seven times in the 10 seasons of the �?T80s. In spite of which this fall a Cleveland newspaper ran a poll to find out a a what a wrong with the Browns Quot Modell was held to blame by 88.8 percent of those replying what have you done for us lately jump Art i a John Robinson coached the los an Geles rams into the playoff six limes in the last seven years in by far the hardest nil division to dominate a because the 49ers Are in it.  1990 he was 7150.
