A fresh set of eyes that have had success elsewhere would be a nice way to help restructure the organization. However, unless they're either talking about relieving Whaley of his duties or this being a short term hire, this would seem to create a congestion of administration, as it would seem to me that the names mentioned in the article are essentially GMs.
For the first time in years this team at least appears to be decisive and moving forward. There have been signs of life in free agent signings, the draft, player trades, and with coaching hires since Brandon took the reigns. While tweaks in structure may be helpful and necessary, and would be something a short term hire could provide, I hope they let things play out for a season or two with the people currently in place to see if the team is indeed heading in the right direction, instead of making knee jerk changes that will take yet more time to take root.

I'll say it: that was painful to watch.
Even though it was a typed response, you know Kiko heard that. I'd sleep with one eye open if I was you, cuz next time you see Kiko, it REALLY WILL be painful for you to watch.

How bout BJ at the Superbowl Halftime?
Take your soliciting elsewhere. This isn't Craig's List.

I think in his helmet he kind of looks like Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters. It makes me like just a little more thinking that way.

I will follow PO's lead and dance naked around my house?

Ah, the continental! My band played there in the early 90s. We drove from Rochester to play just because it was a cool thing to do.
First time (and possibly the only time) I ever stood at a urinal with a 6'2" foot transvestite taking a piss at the one next to me was at the Continental. I was so drunk that I did a double take before I really figured out what it was about the picture that seemed odd to me.
Give me the Pink any day over the Brick.
Deceptive lack of lighting in the old Pink. More than a few times I can remember last call with the lights being snapped on and feeling a reprieve from having to gnaw my arm off the next morning.

They should have pointed lasers in their own kicker's eyes. Might have helped him.
A little last minute corrective laser surgery.

EJ was drafted for his potential, IMO, not the QB he was at the time he left FSU. I doubt he was meant to start right out of the gate. It was a poor year for QBs, and Geno is a brick with limited upside, so... They also swung another pick out of the deal, which makes EJ, Woods, and Kiko a decent haul for what equaled the Bills first and second round pick prior to the trade.
IMO, benching EJ is as much about salvaging the season in a down year in the AFCE as it is about not destroying the last shred of confidence he has. Due to his own inexperience and our OL's shoddy play, SD's and Houston's D mauled him... what would throwing him to the Lions prove? Orton is Fitz is Kolb. A placeholder/benchmark to measure progress. If EJ can't develop beyond that benchmark, they move on from him, but to say they've moved on after 14 games, when most considered him raw from the start... I doubt it.
Also, good luck recruiting talent in the future, Fisher, if it's that important for you to be able to say I told you so when your players fail. Total dick move.

There's a pill for that.

A QB poll inside a QB poll;
In the event that someone starts yet another QB poll/thread in the next 10 minutes, your reaction to it would be to:
1) Ignore it
b) Add a snarky response to the thread without voting
#) Call the OP something really mean, but probably deserved
+) Find a way to shut down the internet to prevent further Buffalo Bills QB polls from occurring
and furthermore) post a response with some variant of "IN" IN it
lastly) Waste precious seconds of your existence trying to come up with a witty poll within a poll of your own to add some value to the thread, realize you're failing miserably, and ultimately give up with a "yeah, I got nothing"
Yeah, I got nothing.
Mods, feel free to make this its own thread in case there are not enough QB threads floating around at the present time.

I'll tell you what I think. I think you owe your employer at least 45 minutes more production than what you provided today.

Oh no, a professional athletes in full pads had to take a hit. Get over it.
I didn't see the game. Did EJ act like a pouting prima donna every time his oline forgot to hand JJ Watt and the rest of the Texans defense a tube of KY before letting them through? Doesn't speak very well of our receiving corp, IMO. Sounds like we have a few malcontents, if you ask me.

FItz has 16 lb bowling balls in his nut sack.
It's by design. The big balls help to move his center of gravity down, offsetting the effects of his freakishly large head.

The dude sucks.

Doug and EJ.
I think Geno may improve, but I think the INTs will always be a big part of his game because I feel he's the type of player who can be baited into throwing them, and I'm not sure that will change. I think he has less potential long term.
Rex Ryan took a team that Eric Mangini was able to get two winning seasons out of in prior 3 years to the playoffs twice, but the glue has steadily come apart under his sideshow leadership. Over 5 years he's barely better than an 8-8 coach (~8.4-7.6, or something, in regular season). He is also the same bafoon who needlessly got Sanchize injured in the preseason last year.
EJ has the potential to be a better overall QB than Geno, IMO. Smarter, seemingly. Displays better leadership qualities. Has more tools. Hopefully he develops them.
Marrone seems to have a vision for what he wants this team to be, and he seems to have contingencies in place (Schwartz for Pettine in days, for example). He and Whaley also seem better at objectively identifying problems and taking the needed steps (QB housecleaning and Orton signing, for example). They lost to a better SD team. I'm willing to give him more than 19 games to show me what he's got.
Were it not for the Kolb disaster, I don't think EJ would be starting yet. You can see them trying to develop him in game, which while painful to watch at times, is probably the right approach. If it doesn't work and he starts losing games singlehandedly (a la Geno and his INTs), I expect that we'll see Orton. If, at season's end, EJ can't consistently win with the talent at hand, I can envision them going after the biggest QB on the market via trade or FA. Think of Denver when Peyton signed. This team has the type of talent to lure a QB of that caliber if he's out there, IMO, and become an instant contender.
If, over the course of the season, Marrone fails to make needed and obvious adjustments, then that's a different story, but at this point in time I'll take his potential over what Rex has shown in his 5 years with the Jets.

Something about Geno just is annoying. I could not route for him.
Even if you could, Geno'd probably sail the pass on you, anyway, into the waiting arms of the corner covering you.

Ummmm, you're talking about "West Indian Jumblethoughtotropia" which usually hits on a Weds or Thursday each week, subsides until Saturday morning but comes on in full vigor Saturday night into Sunday at 12:30pm
Actually, I think the affliction |< j is referring to tends to occurs post-game on Sundays, and is a pretty rare, though communicable, disorder with the carrier of the outbreak generally from NYC. I may be wrong, though.

Progressive post-game TSW-induced encephalopathy (PPGTIE). The more TSW threads I read, the more confused I get, and the worse my head hurts. I sometimes get so confused that I start to talk out loud to people who aren't actually there. Unfortunately, I've been told it's an irreversible neurodegenerative condition hallmarked by increasingly erratic behavior with rare episodes of euphoria and frequent bouts of irritability and depression.

Enough is ENOUGH! I have had it with these mothereffin' (EJ threads) on this mothereffin' (message board)! Everybody strap in! (extracts his gun) I'm about to open some effin' (message board equivalent of windows).

Caption this!
Former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, takes a minute during Sunday's Bills-Chargers game to text a selfie of his junk to his unsuspecting office secretary before giving a halftime speech bemoaning the lack of morality in the NFL.

While I get the ownership connection, if it's such a good idea, why did it have to wait for Pegula to buy the team? Is there some reason to think if Trump or Asshat and his Toronto contingent had bought the team that Nolan would have been prohibited from speaking with Marrone?

Report: Pegulas Looking to Bring Consultants for Bills Transition

If it is a short term consulting position, I would agree with that. If it is a long term hire, it creates an odd dynamic, IMO, and usurps the GMs role to a certain extent. It's also not much of a vote of confidence for those already in place.
