Occam's razor?

I agree that some of those options are just silly. But Graham/Bradham/Chandler are legit options to go/upgrade, IMO.

If Marrone has another 6 win (or worse) season next year, he has to go. He hasn't done anything in the NFL, or even college for that matter, to give him an obligatory 3/4 years to get it going. We wanted the arrow to at least point UP this season. The arrow right now is at best, neutral. Rex Ryan with absolutely NO TALENT on offense still manages to finish 8-8 within the same division. Rex Ryan would get a hell of a lot more out of this roster, IMO. Marrone has been underwhelming in his first season.

Does he return punts for us?

Greg Hardy benched 2 snaps for being "late" (and fined). Not an ENTIRE QUARTER/HALF. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/12/02/greg-hardy-benched-two-snaps-for-being-late-to-meeting/

There is more than one way to teach someone a lesson or make an example. 1. Fine the player; 2. Make an example of him at practice by giving him more drills; 3. Do both #1 and #2 and bench him for a series or two..not an entire quarter or an entire half You guys remember when Wes Welker ran his mouth a few years ago about Rex and his foot fetish? BB benched him for a single series and was back on the field for the second possession of the game. Benching one of the best players on Defense for an entire quarter or an entire half is cutting off your nose to spite your face. In the end, it literally hurts the entire team more than Dareus being "late" to a meeting.

Nick Saban can motivate premier talent. His players go to the NFL and become pro bowlers. Marrone has never won anything as a HC. Anywhere. His players from Syracuse are nowhere to be seen. Respect goes both ways and "buying into something" goes both ways. Why should anyone buy into Marrone and even worse, Hackett?

dude what did you expect? we've been 6-10 or 7-9 for like the last 5 years. And THAT is exactly what pisses me off. Look at the Texans. They go from making the playoffs to the #1 pick. They'll probably be back in the playoffs next year again. We can't even lose right.

Easy, marrone plans to bring in some more syracuse "talent" to the bills to kiss his behind in the locker room.

Yes I would and do. Fact of life: A cashier at starbucks being habitually late to work = fired. A superb attorney for a top law firm coming late yet still producing for the firm's clients = raise. Its not "fair" but who cares about fairness when winning or making money is on the line. Football is not exactly the same, but similar. Star athletes are not always held to the same petty standards as average players for obvious reasons. The only "lesson" Marrone showed Dareus yesterday is how critical Dareus is to this D-line. Benching a professional player like this is a college move. This isnt college.

I think the legitimate issue yesterday was Dareus not starting. Like beerball stated, yes we're all adults and making an appt/meeting on time is important. That being said, in the real world people arent treated equally either. The star attorney, accountant, investment banker are treated differently than a paralegal, entry level analyst and secretary and for good reason - the former are essential and the latter are expendable. Dareus is essential. And unless he committed such an egregious violation of team rules, yesterdays benching and the week prior are unnecessary and petty especially since hes contributed on the field and has had probably his best season. I also find it interesting that this is happening now, when we've been eliminated from the playoffs. Did dareus just start doing whateve hes done over the past few weeks? Or is Marrone just trying to act like a tough guy when nothing is on the line? I dont like it.

Boy, its not often i want to punch myself in the face after reading a thread.

Lmao. 14 YEARS

Haha. All kidding aside, new england fumbled 3 times today and each time the ball bounced in their hand. Boy, ralph really mustve pissed someone off

Agreed

Good post. However, I think the biggest problem we have against the run is a LB corps that is extremely subpar. We have a rookie LB and two other LB that should be nothing more than special teams. They are unable to fill the gaps and a 3-4 yard run easily turns into a 10-15 yd run.

Both sides need help - ignore NEITHER

There are countless players that were/are D-Bags that have won. Winning teams have HC that can motivate elite talent, even if that talent comes with negatives. HC like Marrone draw a line in the sand and have a "my way or the highway" mentality. That may work in syracuse, seems like a recipe for disaster in the nfl. Jimmy Johnson said it right when he cut a bum LB for sleeping or being late to a meeting, but if troy aikman fell asleep hed nudge him and tell him to wake up. This isnt HS. Benching Dareus DOES NOT help the team on Sunday. Ezpecially if its over something silly.

So let me get this straight: on the same board we have a poster saying that tj graham is good in one thread and in this thread we have comments stating that kyle williams should be a ROTATIONAL player?! Its going to be a long off season.

Screw Cowher - hes a dinosaur.

Jboy, this is nothing personal against you, but tj graham sucks man. Let it go. Its been 2 years and this guy has more drops than TD's. Tj Graham is not the reason we lost the game but hes not a solution to anything - he's a part of the problem in Buffalo. And that problem is always coming up small on critical plays. If its not stevie its chandler if its not chandler its graham if itsnot graham its someone else. That ball hit him square in the numbers. MAKE THE CATCH.

This thread is nonsense. I didnt see a single time where cj bouncing out of bounds hurt us in this game. I did see how freddy was stuffed on crucial short yardage....as always. Same people who complain about cj bouncing out of bounds complain about EJ being dumb and NOT runnimg out of bounds. cj is a small back. Hes not jim brown

Dareus.

Hahahahahahahahaahahhahaha. Pats play pee wee w bills bc no respect for us
