Some pretty good comments posted after the article. "Even on IR Bradford would be an upgrade for Buffalo." "Trade for his ambulance, too. Dude is made of glass."

Almost makes me happy the Bills don't have a 1st this year. I think the temptation might of been to great for Whaley to resist making a move up the board to get either Winston or Mariota.

Because making a grown man cry and run home is the worse offense ever!

Jeremy Shockey is broken up over this. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/02/03/shockey-has-fun-with-sapps-arrest/

He can't even hold Kellys. In every big game they went head to head Kelly beat him like a drum.

Joe Montana is still the best that I've ever seen.

What a depressing Super Bowl this is going to be. On the one side you have Tom Brady going for his 4th title. If he wins the game he beats the same team that throttled Manning just a year ago. Any lingering discussions as to who is the greatest QB of this generation is over. On the other hand there's Pete Carroll going for his 2nd straight SB win. If he wins his second, especially 2 in a row, he just punched his ticket to the Hall of Fame. He will go down as one of the better coaches in NFL history. Maybe Katy Perry will be good at halftime...oh wait, scratch that it's Katy Perry. Hopefully a black hole will open up and swallow University of Phoenix Stadium.

Love Freakonomics. To anyone not sure what this is it's 2 profs from the Univ. of Chicago who use the laws of economics on non-economic topics. This thread has quickly gone off the rails. I wonder how many actually took the time to read the article. All it tries to answer is "does defense win championships." By following the numbers the answer is no because a top defense is no more important than a top offense. Due to the fact that top defensive teams don't win any more championships (or even playoff games) by enough of an appreciable difference than top rated offenses. In other words teams can win championships with a dominant defense or a dominant offense. Either or works, one is no more important than the other. That's it. That's all it states. I don't know why this is so difficult for some.

I'm holding out hope for Bradford.

Until the Bills solve the QB position the playoffs will always be a question no matter who is coaching.

Schwartz goes to the Giants to replace Fewell. Giants upset Bills in the Ralph and his players carry him off the field. You know its going to happen.

This. People can't stand him but they also can't stop talking about him.

First time since Chuck Knox that I'm actualy excited by a Bills coaching hire.

I've got no doubt to it's accuracy. But if you read the comments of Jets fans at the bottom of the page it sounds a lot like what is said here after a negative piece about the Bills by a beat reporter.

So Manish Mehta writes an article based solely on unnamed sources and it's accepted as gospel here. If Tim Graham does the same thing regarding the Bills he's pushing an agenda. I'm as happy as the next guy that Marrone left but I do find it an interesting juxtapostion based solely on who's ox is getting gored.

I'm feeling overly optimistic so I'm predicting Sam Bradford.

Where will the red light district be?

Bravo Barbarian! You have mastered the skill to create a troll post that will be discussed for several pages and not simply dismissed out of hand. On a forum that is a very rare skill indeed.

Put yourself in Marrones shoes. With new ownership coming in there will be a whole new front office in place that will review the entire orginization from the top down. I'm sure the feeling for many at OBD is that their jobs are on the line. If you're Marrone are you going to put your job on the line to develop a QB who has shown virtually nothing? If Marrone fails will he ever get another shot at being a HC in the NFL again? Doubtful at best. So you want the HC to go with a QB who was no great shakes at FSU, has shown little if any development as a pro, and more than likely will not be any better anytime soon. The division is up for grabs. Orton may very well fail too, but Marrone doesn't need to see anymore to realize EJ can't get it done this year. Might as well roll the dice with Orton, at this point he has nothing to lose. Marrone has reached the pinnacle of his profession in being a HC in the NFL. This most likely will be his one and only shot. It's nonsensical to believe he's going to throw his opportunity away in the NFL just to develop a lousy QB. And when all is said and done he may still be fired. But if Orton is competent and he makes the playoffs good luck selling that to the fans who watched him guide their team to the playoffs for the first time in well over a decade.

It would have effects on US security as well. US naval bases in Scotland would have to close as the Scottish separatists have already declared Scotland would be a nuclear free country.

If you renew your season tickets don't be surprised if a player, coach, or even Mr. Pegula himself appears on your doorstep to hand deliver it and thank you for your support of the team.

Tension, In-Fighting Worrying about their jobs New owner fires all

Left Buffalo several years back for Vancouver, BC. Seahawks are big here but I don't really care about them. It was cool to be in an area that won a Superbowl and I was happy for my friends who finally got to see their team win the big one. CFL also big here and even though I don't watch the games just by being here you know which teams are good this year and which aren't.

ESPN like most media outlets don't report news anymore. They drive an agenda.

I believe you're thinking of Paul Orndorff.
