John Hufnagel Jason Garrett (should he be fired) Winston Moss

A lot of the teams with openings have terrible or very fickle ownership. Id be stunned if he opted out from Buffalo in favor of the Yorks, McCaskeys and Johnsons of the NFL universe.

Pretty women in the world are a dime a dozen. Bills playoff game easily.

IMO, I think he informed the team about that decision a while ago. Playing him Sunday was doing him a solid.

No. I have seen enough. May be in the minority but I do not think he is a very good football player. Athlete yes. Player no.

What do the Pegulas owe Manuel or Orton? Not a thing. The organization does not need to keep either guy to "save face". Even morso if Marrone & Co. get cut and they bring in a football consultant. Different owner. Different time by default. Wouldnt surprise me to see both guys on other teams in 2015.

I say yes. I think he only came back this year to try to avenge the dismantling they got in the Super Bowl. He looks exhausted. He's got a career ahead of him in broadcasting and television or even coaching where he'll make money. With all that talent on offense, the Broncos just need competent quarterbacking. Hard to come by yes considering our predicament but they don't need a HOF to score touchdowns there.

Keep your eyes open for John Hufnagel either as an OC candidate or should it go that way, head coach candidate. Penn State ties. Successfully coached Tom Brady, both Manning brothers and Mark Brunell during his prime. Successful CFL head coaching career (2 GCs, positive W/L record)

No to Harbaugh. It's a fools errand to chase after him as an NFL coach. Guy can't work with people, even when successful. You think he'd work any better with Reggie McKenzie in Oakland or Doug in Buffalo? What's the point of hiring a coach with such a short shelf life? His personality is for the college ranks ala Saban. I personally think he'll go to a college other than Michigan but college nonetheless.

There will be plenty of good offensive minds out there to pick from in the offseason. That's not the hard part. Hard part for the Bills is admitting Nate Hackett isn't one of them. I think this will be where Pegula and the Bills swing for the fences to get a Schwartz for the offense. I think Marrone has bought himself a year but they are going to go get the best OC they can find, whether he's in the league presently or not.

Orton and Hackett aren't the answers for this franchise. That's where Doug Whaley starts for 2015.

He's logged way too many NFL miles to play into his 40s. It's not like he spent the first five years of his career as a backup just hanging out on a sideline. He's played a lot of games, start to finish and has taken hits. He's not like Tim Duncan who has his minutes managed to cut down a bit on the wear/tear. I always wonder when Belichick will call it a day. He'll be 63 when the 2015 begins. Sooner or later you'd think he'd be done with the rigors of being an NFL coach. (Or for that matter Tom Coughlin who will be 68.)

I said neither. I think the money spent on CJ would be better spent elsewhere on the team. That being said, the Bills need to look at RB in 2015. Fred can't play forever (He looks slow to me this year) and I'm not sure the Bryce/Boobie tandem is a long term answer.

Event Horizon A film of underestimated nightmare potential.

I think a winning record doesn't necessarily mean Doug Marrone coaches the Bills in 2015. When you consider: We've fired 9-7 coaches before. New owner. Marrone could be told that Hackett has to go and he refuses to fire him. However unlikely, a scenario where " a name" is available and wants to coach in Buffalo. Even more unlikely, Marrone goes back to college and becomes a head coach at Wisconsin or Michigan. Lots of power and money in college football. There are lots of variables.

I think there are aging QBs not mentioned in that article that might be available depending on whether their teams decide to embark on a rebuilding program and want to save some money and/or the last weeks of the season don't go well. Eli Manning (NY would save $17.5 million) Tony Romo (Has a base salary of $17 million) Drew Brees (NO plans to draft a Brees replacement in 2015 and NO has a $27 million cap hit for him on a team with a lot of holes) The problem for the Bills is that it is a sellers market this year and the Bills don't have a 1st round draft pick to use and they'd have to absorb A LOT of those contracts.

I can only speak for a small section of PA but the chain restaurants have been getting their asses handed to them by the resurgence of the local diner. They are packed morning, noon and night by all the demographics and I've seen younger owners taking over the business. I think that the era of the chain restaurant and its unstoppable expansion is over where you inevitably would see an Applebees near every mall and a Ruby Tuesday's along every highway. The baby boomer generation loves the chain restaurants but other generations do not. Markets are saturated presently. Younger generations having grown up on chain restaurant food, have had their fill of it after eating it throughout childhood and their young adult years. Somebody mentioned that places like Olive Garden don't cook food but merely assemble it. Same goes for Panera Bread. I don't quite get the excitement over Panera. Anything hot there is served out of a bag and all the breads are pre-mixed and frozen.

The problem with "Afterword" is they went cheap. Hardwick on Talking Dead is a professional TV host. The pathetic comedian and the LA DJ on Afterword were predictably terrible because hosting a talk show on television is not what they do. I started watching Afterword just to bathe in the awkwardness. The attempted interview with Mark Boone Junior was one part hysterical and one part "man I feel bad for that host..." Although imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, it probably would have helped to have some celebrity fans of the show on toojust to mix it up. Too often the SOA actors went into "I'm a professional actor!" mode going on and on about the craft in the eerie quiet of the stage set.

That finale got a bit too LOSTY for me with all the spontaneous symbology with the homeless woman, communion bread and the fake crows. It was an ok finale but I was expecting something more intricate from Kurt Sutter considering the layers of storytelling included in the the Shield finale which I found to be one of the more excellent ones in recent years.

He's performed well despite injuries. Worth the investment.

I think some of it is structural. Boomer powerhouses like McDonalds, Olive Garden, Applebees, Ruby Tuesday, and especially Red Lobster are either fading away or having tough times.

Arizona Cardinals.

I would keep an eye on Eli Manning. I think he is a possible cut or trade.

I've come around to keeping Marrone but I think there will be better choices than Nate Hackett for next year for offensive coordinator. If Marrone gets this team to beat the streak, I'd be really pleased. I think that's progress. If Marrone and Whaley both stay there has to be less dysfunction when it comes to personnel. Perhaps that gets better. After all, this was their first year working together in their respective capacities. They can't have more Mike Williams situations. Only acquire players the coach is going to use.

If you are an NFL team you have to be wary of hiring Harbaugh. It is sorta like remarrying immediately after divorce. You're doomed to repeat your habits and mistakes and never learn from why things failed in the first one and how you contributed to it and just tank that one too. He will more than likely clash with a new GM just like the old and alienate players just like he did in SF. You really do have to think- despite all that success there they want him gone YESTERDAY. As an NFL coach you have to actually work with people. You aren't a king like they make coaches in college where you can run over the AD and spar evenly with the university president. I really don't see a lot of teams clamoring for his services in the NFL because of the expected baggage.
