Not happening of course but if you were looking for a motive it could only be to lead the Bills to a championship thus proving beyond any shadow of a doubt that he's the M. Ali of QBs. Sort of like what Joe almost did in KC.

I keep hearing that Marrone and Schefter have the same agent, presumably Sexton. Is that the case. Does a player/coach/executive agent represent journalists too? Seems odd to me.

Only part of our kicking game that actually works consistently.

Wow

He's got a funny delivery. I wouldn't call it a hitch, more like loading motion. Makes me wonder whether he fully engages his lower body and transfers his weight properly.

Oregon may well win this game and a national championship. But I have no doubt who the better pro QB prospect is. It's not that 212 pound spread QB. Mariota.is a fine college QB tho, don't get me wrong.

Why not. Are you a Jets fan? Marrone will turn that team into the NFL's biggest sinkhole. The media sharks will have a field day at his post game pressers. By about game 6 of the 2015 season the firedougmarrone threads will begin. I'm seriously looking forward to it all. Mucho hilarity soon to come. I agree. Casserly (and Wolf) are advising Woody. Casserole loves Marrone. An interview has now been set. I have little doubt there was communication of some kind. Unlikely someone would walk from a HC gig unless he was pretty sure of landing somewhere else.

I agree with the "he did nothing" part.

Exactly what I was thinking. If it's Brandon he needs to go asap.

Sure. People make mistakes all the time, especially NFL owners and GMs. If folks were fine with hiring Dick Jauron, why not Saint Doug.

The only insightful comment in your post is that Marrone feels (indeed knows because he is calling the shots) that he and Hackett share the same (smart?) offensive philosophy. They have been together for five years. They are the same guy. And unfortunately the philosophy is not smart. It's dumb and pathetically antiquated. I don't think Marrone is capable of working with a fully empowered OC who is his own man. Firing Hackett is a red herring anyway. His boss is the problem.

Expecting Marrone to fire Hackett is like asking him to commit suicide. For all we know Hackett might actually be a genius OC but for the fact that he is charged with implementing Doug's 19th century philosophy of offense. I hope this "evaluation that's going on is more than just a pro for a due diligence.

I think this is quite possible. He looked really disgusted a lot of the time. Maybe he just didn't want to sign up for more of this. And maybe this O is actually worse than we think it is. Could be more to it than just the O-line sucking badly. A lot of those questions will be answered in 2015 if the current coaching staff returns.

Plus he's got only one stripe on his pajamas. Runs around in the shower to get wet. Stands sideways and you can't see him. Yeah I'd bring him in if available for insignificant value. Maybe even a fifth. Would rather land Bradford.

Exactly what this receiving corps needs to go from good to elite.

With decades worth of evidence to inform us it should be readily apparent to all that the Bills are totally clueless when it comes drafting/developing QBs.

Idk that panic is the right word. Maybe pressure with an impending ownership change is better. Regardless, to me it actually began in the 2013 draft when a team that had foolishly neglected the QB position for decades was forced to pick one high in a bad class. Sometimes bad management combines with bad luck to create the perfect train wreck.

I think Watkins was the best receiver prospect going into the draft. I still think he is the best and most complete player in a very good WR class. I think over time he will be a lot like and as good as Larry Fitzgerald. That's awefully good. Best offensive talent in the draft (Mack the best defensive talent). We're it to be done over however I would think one of the other blue chip receivers plus moving up for Bridgewater would have been better. All hindsight of course and there is no way the Bills were going to pick QBs in the first round in consecutive drafts. Should have, but would not have, either through want of skill in evaluating QBs, lack of courage in moving on from the prior drafts mistake, politics etc...

Jim Kelly or Fran Tarkenton? What's the point? When guys are that good each is in a class by himself. Just wish we could see someone like that in a Bills uni.

I agree. I saw on TV where wolverines are supposed to be intelligent animals. But if that's wrong I hope Doug takes his love child OC with him.

I agree. It's not fair. You have to look at his whole body of work...oh wait!!!

And what about the guy in the sky calling plays? Did you forget about him? You nailed it.

Agree 100% Doug is a dufus Sean is the real deal. A consummation devoutly to be wished.

Exactly right and well said. I would only add that Marrone is of the same mindset. They are the same guy. Makes me wonder how far ahead we would be without Nate if Doug is still around.

Orton needs a really good O-line. Give him one and he can be effective. We have a terrible line, esp crap for guards
