Go for 2, onside, never punt...always? No. But way more often? Yes. At the very least less talented teams should be self-aware in the offseason and devote serious work to building this into their identity and working to be good at it. Good teams should also consider it...for example...Peyton Manning never punting would be uniquely effective this year IMO. Going for 2 if you are Carolina could be a great idea if you devoted a lot of time to mastering the art.

LOL this board is so obsessed with our analytics guy.

Pretty bad on the Bills.

Mike Evans would be great. I think so but either way him and Johnny are gone.

If you don't focus on QB, there can be no doom and gloom. Mild frustration at times in spots. Also some good moments, more than is usual for sure. But not doom and gloom. If you focus on QB...well...

Can't argue with any of those points.

That is true. But he has shown he has the talent. His busting (the extent he is busting) is a shared responsibility. Probably more heavily leaning on the Bills.

Maybe so but if the Bills pass on him (certainly if they pass on him in the 2nd) they better hope they don't miss w/ whoever they pick. Better to miss w/ Johnny than someone else.

Lets hope we have a healthy QB better than EJ. Please God.

please don't remind me of that

...but he won rookie of the week one week!

I'm sorry you think this is real perspective.

I pretty much agree with what you have said except that he's clearly better than EJ.

Absolutely. It would be a complete CRIME not to do so. And btw...Johnny Football has a whole host of problems himself...but absolutely he would be the best QB on this team week 1 and forever even if he never got any better.

How about as long as he's dominating and on occasion single handedly making the difference in a W you will root for him? Show some respect. This man is extremely important to this team. Probably the most valuable single piece we have.

We love ya Marv, enjoy retirement you've earned it. Say whatever, it's all good.

The Redskins will hang on to Shanny forever. They're wrong for doing so. Guy sucks.

I see the reality that we have been in all these games. I also see the schedule soften up big time down the stretch. Bottom line is EJ would have to play like a great 1st round pick for us to do that. If that happens...I'll be happy. But I doubt that happens.

This story only gets more bizzare.

Securing a legal argument for payment of contract money and setting up possible basis for lawsuit to obtain even more. He's probably done in the league and wasn't that great anyway...making sure he sets himself up.

I'm actually pretty satisfied with Marrone at the moment. And I'm a natural hater, as well as a guy who hated Marrone at first. There are some things that have sucked ... but we don't look terrible and the QB situation gives him a valid excuse imo for losing some of the close games (all games we are in being close).

agreed, hence my last line also putting blame on the GM

Basically the same comments most everybody has given on the issue. Heard Polian on Cowherd today ... basically said the same thing. The interesting part imo was Fletcher and Polian both really emphasize how the veterans are expected to control this. Don't get me wrong, it does make sense that the HC is not the babysitter of grown men. However, the HC is the boss. Every boss I've worked for controls the interaction that happens in the office ... not to a micro-level but they set a tone and people know how tight or lose it is based on the boss. So ... I guess what I'm saying is I understand it's a team sport and HC is not a babysitter however ... he is a boss and there is clearly, in my mind, a duty and responsibility to set a tone. Sounds like Miami's coach set absolutely no tone at all and just let the inamtes run the assylum. When I hear Polian talk about Dungy and Marv relying on veterans a lot to handle this...it sounds like they rely on them handling this knowing they have bought in and are down with the overal tone they set. Here...Miami appears to just have let them handle it w/ absolutely no expectations or guidelines set in the first place. And this is not just to throw the coach under the bus ... it's also the GM. He let all the veteran leadership go and brought in Incognito to replace them lol

Was it s*** or was it a more disgusting three letter word?
