QB Bills

I'm pretty sure you get the point. Assuming you do like the job Marrone has done, can you give me an example or two on what it is specifically that fans should be happy about with him? None of this "the team is playing hard for him" gibberish. Going to Orton might be the only smart thing he did, and that was probably decided out of job preservation. The team has had success because of the side of the ball that he does not have nearly as much to do with. He's an offensive guy, and our offense consistently underachieves. Not even because we don't have talent there. Why is that so hard for some people to come to grips with?

I really hope that whoever decides this doesn't look at a set number of wins required to make a decision one way or another. A coach should be able to maximize the talent on the field and give his team the best chance to win. Not continually get in the way, like this guy has done since he got here. As a poster here has repeated...the 2014 Bills are 12 win talent with 2 win coaching. They are winning in spite of the head coach.

In my basement. In the dark, next to the leaky ceiling. Wife beater, boxers, plaid robe, slippers. Cold pizza and warm beer. Anyone wanna come over?

The weird thing is, its not like their offense has been playing lights out. Their defense and special teams have been opportunistic. Still, would have been awesome to see what he could have done here. But we can't. Because..obviously.

I agree with most of what you posted here except the part about Marrone's strengths. What, pray tell, is he exactly good at? He's the worst coach of the drought era, and I'm not sure it's close. If you need analytics to help you make decisions, then you're not a good coach to begin with. I want someone who's common sense jives with what the analytics tells you.

Best player on the team. Do whatever you can to keep him.

He hasn't been a good returner for a couple of years now. His longest return last year was like 17 yards if I remember correctly. More importantly though, he's one of the stupidest players to ever wear a Bills uniform. He calls for fair catches at times when there's no need to. The guy has physical tools, but is just not someone you can count on.

He just holds the ball so carelessly. On his next carry, where he had a good gain, he was still carrying it in such a non-chalant way. He will screw up again. Its just a matter of time. Can't win with loser players like that.

Nonsense. Stop giving this terrible coach a pass on this.

Take out the word "dressed" from the thead title and you have an even more accurate statement.

He's good. And he's always been good. Problem is, any front office that realizes this already has a good QB. Sign him for a few years. With a competent coach, this team is a contender.

No chance in hell the Bills win the Super Bowl this year.

11 of 15?!?!?! Did I read that right?

Nicely put. I wanted the Bills to keep him too. Not like they didn't have the cap space. The defense has gone up against two top tier QBs this year and gotten beat pretty handily both times. Please don't tell me Byrd couldn't have helped. It's all hypothetical now, but imagine this year's defense with a healthy Byrd and Alonso. It would have been so much fun to watch.

Easy on the paint chips, sport.

That is sheer lunacy. Fitzpatrick is horrible. How many times do you need to see the ball slip out of his baby-sized hands to see that? Nice guy, sure. Train wreck of a QB. Orton is much better than Fitzpatrick. Be happy we were able to snag him and enjoy competent QB play for the first time in a decade. Because knowing the Bills, they'll let him walk at the end of the year and we'll be right back to square one.

Fitz is the only Bill I can think of that I felt bad hating. He seems like a good guy. But man, did I hate the guy. Strictly for on field play, of course. You just knew that no matter how hard guys like Freddie played, Fitz would blow it somehow. At no point did I ever feel we had a shot at anything other than 8 wins.

I like Mario and all but this is just insanity. He's not even the best player on the D-line. Dareus is. Watt might be the best player in the league right now. Single-blocked? Maybe by accident. I've seen Mario get single-blocked this season more than Dareus. Having said that, I don't believe this to be an effective measurable as not all offensive plays are created equal.

Awesome...thanks for sharing KtD. Did he put you on his porn mailing list?? (too easy...) Did he say anything else about Marrone? On maybe, possibly replacing him at the end of the year? If not, can you just say he did? I had San Fran in my survivor pool this week and refused to split an 1800 dollar pot between four people earlier this week. I need a pick-me-up!

Jim Norton is getting a bad rap here. The offense playing with cement blocks for shoes is all Marrone, in my opinion. Fire this meathead into the sun and we have ourselves a very dangerous team.

Tom Brady

Mark Barron is on the trade block?? Isn't that who the Bills were targeting when they picked Gilmore? What happened to him? He was supposed to be the next stud safety.

Simple explanation: We have a meathead as a coach who doesn't understand basic situational football.

Thought the line played well, all things considered. Sprinkle in some non-idiotic playcalling and the Bills could have scored 40 pts in the first half alone.
