3 and out. Man, the Bills suck

Cant see how Ryan keeps his job after this season.

Talk about leaving your receiver out to dry!

I would bench Cutler.

The Bears look really terrible. It's not just Cutler. Trestman has lost the team.

Perhaps you missed the part where he said this is a 'lies and exaggerations' thread.

"Oh whoa is me... Might as well cancel my account this board is doomed without that douches contributions" In this thread

I know we have differed on the Cutler issue in the past and will offer this counter-argument to your point. Mini-steps may be good in the short term but I am not sure Cutler will get us a materially different outcome on the season. Namely, not sure he can get us to the playoffs. Highly likely that we end up with 7-8 wins this season and in a division dominated by the Pats*, we will need 2-3 more wins to be assured of a playoff spot. Cutler has continually underperformed and been unable to lift his team over its other inadequacies. He will raise hopes in the short term only to end up with bitter disappointment by the end of the season. I want a more permanent solution to the QB void.

You have to expect missteps with rookie coaches. The biggest mistake was to get a rookie OC to go with a rookie HC. See how an experienced Schwartz is leading one of the best defenses. If, last year, Marrone was paired with a similarly experienced OC, the results would have been a lot different. So, my point is that Marrone has made mistakes but the lack of QB and poor OC has compounded the problem. If we had both, Marrone's in-game mistakes would have been more than covered up.

An arm with which he has decapitated many a coaches job and reputation. Cutler is the epitome of coach-killer.

The O is producing less with Orton at the helm. Both QBs were leading an anemic offense. Orton just looks good doing it - more composed, more calm and has swagger but ends up with the same sucky offensive performance.

I agree with the talent part. But without a QB, no coach can take this team anywhere, It would be entirely pointless to 'fire everyone' unless it comes with a good QB.

No. And i mean that with zero qualifications.

I think McK was down

Come on D !!!

Is Hackett or Marrone calling plays?

This is a set up for long pass

Very important drive. We have to score. Even 3 is fine

What a monster Dareus. After a double team!!

On a bouncing ball? That's tough. Can't blame Chandler

I visit my mom in India every year. My flight is always after the Superbowl.

26Corner has the breaking news market locked up so he is protective about his ummmm.... House.

Considering how Cutler plays, it is hardly an indictment of Trestman. Cutler's reputation as a coach killer is building but the Bears may have painted themselves into a corner by signing him to that huge contract.

I am definitely not ashamed to say that I was one of those wanting to retain him BUT at a reasonable price. If memory serves me correctly, I had pegged his value at 6-7 MM per year all in. I think the fact that he got injured or that he did not have enough playing time in the D to get his bearings does not change the fact that he was a good safety and one that we could have kept intact. Levitre and Byrd are ones I wanted the Bills to keep despite the opinions regarding their post-Bills careers. Both players made the Bills better. Just not at the price they got in the open market. I can flip that argument around and say that he is great for his clients. He hyped up and negotiated his way to a huge contract for Byrd. Well maybe not all his clients, but he certainly gets top dollar for his highly prized free agents.
