Cynical

Subject topic: FAIL "A couple having sex in a Georgia Waffle House ... " Loganville, no less. That's out AJZepps way.

Interesting. I see a similarity to the Greggo days: A first time hard nosed blue collar type HC, a questionable OC, a young, oft injured starting QB, a "you have got to be kidding me" type back up QB, and a strong D. Oh, and the TD era was the previous time Ralph Wilson went "hands off" with the football team.

Bill Belichick used to speak very positively about Dick Jauron.

So what. Willis is playing on his 4th team since entering the league. The only reason he's on the Browns is because they traded Trent Richardson. Otherwise, Willis would be still sitting at home twiddling his thumbs.

Oh goody. Get to spend the upcoming offseason putting up with the "Saban to Texas" BS. Who would you like to see Texas go after?

What? The Closet?

Unless the new AD is allowed to start making decisions January 2014 (or sooner), Mack Brown will be the Longhorns HC in 2014. August is absolutely the wrong time to be looking for a new HC.

Chargers.

No. He also said some comments about nobody being able to cover him before the Pats this year. How did that work out? Or is it he just tired of losing to the Pats? Even back then, that took time. Think about it. What kind of animosity does EJ or Robert Wood have against the Jets? Or the Dolphins?

Agreed. After reading that article, the only conclusion I came to was the author had a man crush for Johnny Boy.

Backfire is understatement. Depending on your perspective, it was either a nightmare or comedy gold. Putting this back on thread topic: At this stage, I am encouraged by what I have seen so far of EJ. I will leave it at that. The guy has only played 2 regular season games, with a limited number of plays available to him. If somebody is looking for flaws in his game, they will find them. If somebody is looking for positive progression in his game, they will find their proof.

Here's an issue. Everybody that keeps saying that extra 26 seconds would not have made a difference is dealing with a hypothetical. We do not know what would have happened if those 26 seconds were off the clock. The reality is the Bills left those 26 seconds on the clock, and made Tom Brady's job even easier. What's that old proverb: Hope for the best, plan for the worst? The best. Move the ball down the field and score The worst: Fail to score and/or move the ball down the field. That means the defense, which is gassed at that point, has to go back on the field. Marrone bet the house and farm on the "best" scenario. He had no plan for the worst. The uptempo offense wasn't working all that well. The Bills defense was the bright spot of the day. By sticking with the uptempo offense, and failing, Marrone left additional time on the clock. In the end, he made Tom Brady's job easier and shortchanged his defense.

IIRC (read it somewhere else), the statute of limitations is 4 years. If so, Les is in the clear. "Kiffy" and the Tenn hostesses were more than just rumors. There were pictures of TN hostesses at recruits high school football games. That's a big no-no.

Which is probably true, but please don't tell me Marrone is a complete idiot and has never anticipated/practiced at a slower tempo for when the time calls for it.

What rhythm? Again, it's not like the up tempo offense was humming along all day long. If it was, I would have agreed with the decision. . If watched Tom Brady over the past 10 years, you know the best way to beat him is him sitting on the bench, especially in crunch time. The Bills not only failed to execute, they handed Brady extra time to beat us. Thank you. You get it. Except it did not work. The Pats D was not tired. Our D was.

Go back and re-read the discussion between K-9 and me, because your interpretation is way off. I never said "run 3 straight plays". You seemed to have missed this: "If we assume nothing else changed between slowing it down and continue to run the uptempo offense, here's the minute difference:" That was in the quote you replied to.

Execution of a play is not dependent on how fast the ball is snapped. Which they did not even have to use, because the Bills gave them an extra minute instead.

I agree that huddling would not have changed the execution of that one play. However, you are using that failed execution to justify the strategy of the entire series. You bring up that the Pats were within FG range with over a minute left. If we assume nothing else changed between slowing it down and continue to run the uptempo offense, here's the minute difference: 3-8-BUF 39 (1:20) (Shotgun) 12-T.Brady pass short middle to 80-D.Amendola to BUF 29 for 10 yards (23-A.Williams). Caught at BUF 30. Timeout #1 by BUF at 01:08. Now drop the extra minute that we could have burned: Instead of the Bills calling TO at 1:08, the Patriots would have had to call TO at :08 in order to kick the FG. Instead of kicking a 35 FG, the Pats would have been looking at a 46 yard FG attempt. That one extra minute gave the Pats 11 extra yards, and the time to center up the kick for the PK. Still think that one extra minute was nothing? I will never understand the reasoning. The up tempo offense was NOT humming along,

I don't care if the difference was 30 seconds. In that situation, you burn the damn clock. At the very least, by your amount, the defense would have gotten an extra minute of rest. Brady gets one minute less to work with. Maybe it would have made no difference. But you do not just "give" them the extra time to do it when you have the lead.

13 years and counting of moral victories. i would like some REAL victories please. No more excuses.

Yeah, against that "powerhouse" known as Rice. If he keeps acting like an arrogant little dick, he won't win it.

Sorry. It has been discussed numerous times in numerous threads over the years, but yes, he will only play QB. Even after getting cut by the Pats*: http://www.nytimes.c...l?smid=pl-share “I will remain in relentless pursuit of continuing my lifelong dream of being an N.F.L. quarterback,” he (Tebow) wrote on Twitter.

You are kidding, right?

The NCAA continues to prove it's a massive freaking joke. The sooner the major colleges and universities tell the NCAA to go fug itself and create a new association, the better.

As what? Water Boy? Kicking tee retriever?
