    How Wade Phillips let Ralph Wilson convince him to start Rob Johnson in that playoff game against Tennessee? Like come on Wade, Doug played the entire season and you let the owner see one good, but meaningless game control your coaching decisions?

    Simple answer. Your boss give you an order, you follow it or become quickly unemployed.

    Looks similar to a Peterman type prospect in my opinion.  Doesn't have the best arm, two year starter, senior, some college success, average mobility, considered a 2-3 round prospect that could fall like Peterman did.  I don't see him jumping up into the first round, not with all the other prospects in this class.  

    Then again if the top 2 guys stay in school with all the teams needing QB, wouldn't be shocking to see a Christian Ponder-ish skyrocket.

    Jackson was absolutely part of the "front office problem".  He may have put out there that it's never his fault, but he has consistently mangled the QB position since the moment he was hired. 

     

    Check this out:

    Look, any poster on this board could have gone 1-30 with this Brown's team.  Jackson has proven this : no, not on any given Sunday.

     

    He is the worst HC in history.  Every bad Browns coach fired before him was better.

    I refuse to believe anyone could be worse than Wayne Fontes or Kay Stephenson ???

    Sashi wasn’t a real GM but no, not all of th problem at all. If Dorsey has a set he will get rid of the entire coaching staff. 

    That would be the smart move. I don't care how well liked His is by players, it's really hard to ask a fan base to support and players to sign as free agents for a coach that went 0-16. Frankly I would love nothing more than to see them and us turn it around and have a Bills/Browns rivalry much like the Patties/Colts used to be. Both fan bases deserve some excitement.

  5. I do think they hit 16 losses this season. But make no mistake...I think they finally have a competent GM running the show now. Sashi Brown was completely out of his element and completely over his head. He was even less qualified than Russ Brandon to be an NFL GM.

     

    The biggest question for them I see is...Is Hue the right guy for the job? Was the problem all the front office?

    Isn't it interesting that Marrone teams all seem to have these excellent defenses that he has "nothing to do with". Maybe he fundamnetally understand that you have to impact the Quarterback in this league and hires coordinators and constructs defenses capable of achieving that? Eventually something stops being a coincidence. 

     

    I am not surprised the Jags have done well. Doug Marrone is a good Head Coach. I thought so when he was here too having originally been lukewarm to his hiring. He is a dislikeable arse of a man. But he is a good Head Coach. He made some micro management mistakes here that listening to the folks over in Jacksonville he seems to have learned from with Tom Coughlin's guidance. 

    I believe the defense in Buffalo was all due to Schwartz. But I do give credit to Marrone for the hire. I also believe that he inherited a heck of a defense from Gus Bradley. But I do give him credit for bringing in the last few parts to make it better.

     

    As far as for those that point to how unlikeable he is...you are correct. But who cares? Winning makes me like a coach. Belichick...not very likeable. Coughlin... basically just a grumpy old unlikeable guy. They win. Rex Ryan. Guy is very likeable to some. He's fun. He's a loser. Chan Gailey... extremely likeable. Just wouldn't want either of them running my football team.

    bummer, I like Elston.  Over under on Colt getting injured? I give him 1 quarter.

    Same here. He's a big hitter. Wonder if he has PS eligibility left. As far as how long he will last before getting hurt...the real question is if Gaines plays who gets hurt first? I may still go with Colt. Opening kickoff.

    What is it about Colt Anderson this team likes?

    I mean, it's a pretty cool first name. I like that.

    I wanted to take the temperature of OBD on some of the big questions ahead for the weekend, the immediate aftermath and then what follows... here goes:

     

    1. Do you think the Bills will win in Miami? Yes. I think Jay Cutler is going to care about as much as Kyle Orton did his last few games.

     

    2. Do you think the Bills will make the playoffs? Yes I do. I think the Bengals come through. I also think the Jags win. Raider game is going to have a ton of Raider fans there and I think it's possible they win.

     

    3. Do you think Sunday is Kyle Williams' last regular season game in a Bills uniform? Toss up. I think if we miss the playoffs, it's his last game. I can see him coming back if we make it. Unfinished business.

     

    4. Do you think Rick Dennison is still in a job with the Bills by this time next week? Yes I do. This is not to say he won't be let go at some point in the off-season. However with how methodical McD likes to be, I would suspect a longer evaluation process.

     

    5. Leaving aside offensive coordinator do you expect any other coaching changes on the Bills staff in the next 14 days? I think Crossman is let go. No real reason other than he's been here a while. I think the lower coaching spots see some turnover as well, but not much.

     

    And the contentious one.....

     

    6. If the Bills make the playoffs does that mean Tyrod is still a Bill next September? No. I think they will move on. Hopefully we get the opportunity in the draft to select someone, but it really wouldn't shock me to see us fill holes this off-season and sign a journeyman with the "hope" Peterman is ready the following year. NOTE: this is not what I want...just something I can see possibly happening.

     The 2004 Buffalo Bills defense had 9 pro bowlers 9 people 9 I'll say it again 9 pro bowlers including backups in a few starters like Coy wire eyes I'll Reese Pierson prioleau Kevin Thomas Chris kelsay Ryan Denny Justin bannan Ron Edwards Dominique Stevenson guys that were talented and they still lost to the Steelers backups

    lol WTF?

     

    The 2012 team was 6-10.  They were 7-9 in 2016......

     

    Meds. He needs some.

     you're looking at it in an all-or-nothing type of way I personally don't buy that you are looking at a fix here because what you said makes sense so car in the official conspire to get the points covered but then Peters and randomly goes against it

     

    What people are saying though and I'll repeat it again because it's apparently not singing in what the Patriots are doing are still is statistically impossible you simply don't go 11 and 5 with Matt Cassel

     

    It's also statistically impossible that the bills drought can go go on this long

    I was going to discuss...but I honestly have no foggy clue how anything you said even remotely relates to my point.

    If there was a conspiracy to affect the betting outcome, it would have to be true that one group got to Carr and another got to the Eagles HC.

     

    What are the odds....

    And it would also be true that they wouldn't be worried about any of the players, officials or microphones that are plastered literally all over the NFL field on gameday picking up what they are saying. Pretty certain even if the NFL was "in on it" that the media would love to break a story so compelling.

  12. Ok so...the Eagles were up 3. Carr and the official had an odd discussion obviously about making sure the point spread was covered. Next play, Eagles score and then still don't cover the spread due to taking a knee on the extra point. Do I have that scenario correct?

     

    If the "fix" was on what help was that TD? Was it just the Eagles weren't in on it? Could it be they didn't want to risk injury with a competitive play? It's absolutely hysterical how after we play the Patties every 3rd thread is a conspiracy thread.

    That's pretty bizarre.  Quite the list actually

     

    Alex Smith

    Matt Cassel

    Damon Huard

    Tyler Thigpen

    Trent Green

    Elvis Grbac

    Rich Gannon

    Steve Bono

    Joe Montana

    Dave Krieg

    Steve Deberg

     

     

    Sweet Jesus, I remember being optimistic when Thigpen signed here. Though he could be a find.

    We’re better off with a franchise QB and nothing else than no franchise QB.  That, I’m sure.  The rams and eagles had nothing and traded away their future for Wentz and Goff,  now both are contenders and they certainly aren’t missing those draft picks.  That being said, I believe either Rosen or Darnold will be returning to school (maybe both) and the other guys just aren’t worth trading up for imo. 

    Nothing? Both teams already had a really good defense. The Rams had a decent offensive line and Gurley (who could end up with MVP votes). The Eagles had an awesome oline. I would actually say both teams built up BEFORE landing a franchise QB. 

    I don't care how great a guy "projects" into the NFL. The trade the OP suggests is just way too much. Look at where we grabbed White in the last draft. Should be roughly where the Chiefs pick falls. Can grab a solid guy there and another solid guy with our first pick. I'm not giving up the chance of 3 potential staters this year for one guy who "should" work out well.

    The Giants are believed to love Davis Webb and the Giants beat reporter for WFAN radio says they might wanna trade down cause they need a lot of help.

     

    Now, the Bills are believed to be in love with Darnold.

     

    Assuming all of the above is true...........

     

    Are you willing to trade with the Giants?

     

    I would do something like this.........,..

     

    Both 2018 1st round picks, 2019 1st, 2019 2nd and another pick or player of the Giants choosing.

     

    Is this doable?

     

    Would you do this?

     

    Or what would you do?

    Also assuming Cleveland takes Rosen.

    I would not. That's way too much to give up for a team that has holes at OL, DL, LB, WR.

     

    Build a team...or I mean we could always end up like Indy the past couple of years. Have a franchise QB, and nothing else. Said franchise QB spends time in Europe during the season because he's hurt.

    The Rams seem to be doing ok for trading a bunch of picks.  

    This one season, yes they are. Give it time. It's amazing how fast a team like that can fall flat. The Giants were in the playoffs last year. McAdoo was "amazing"...and is now unemployed.

    I would be surprised if Cleveland took Rosen at this point given his public statements.  If Cleveland take Darnold instead and Rosen was available, would Rosen want to play in Buffalo?

    I'd be more surprised if they didn't and flip him for another QB and picks...much like the Manning/Rivers trade.

    During the game, 2nd half I believe, Tony Romo was very complimentary of the Bills. Trying to paraphrase but basically he thought the Bills have a great future, liked the coaching etc etc. at one point I felt that he had to hold back from criticizing the QB position. I wonder if he would be tempted to come out of retirement if he felt that he would be a good fit for a team. This is strictly based on nothing other than getting an impression that he thought very well of the Bills and the direction that they are taking.

    Honestly he is a better commentator then he was QB. And I don't think he was that bad a QB. I just think with his injury history mixed with basically l, what 2 years of not playing...he's done. I would actually inquire if he's interested in coaching. I think he would do well grooming a young draftee.

  17. After an interesting season this is what it comes down to...4 big games on Sunday. The outcome of them dictates if we hit 18 years of lost seasons, or finally taste a playoff game. So, who ya got?

     

    Jags-30

    Titans-13

     

    Ravens-20

    Bengals-16

     

    Raiders-27

    Chargers-21 OT 

     

    Bills-19

    Dolphins-7

     

    ALSO, if it breaks like I have predicted...does Doug Marrone get any kind of forgiveness for walking out on the Bills Mafia?
