  1. A reminder we should all takes a couple years off between jobs.
  2. Fred is angling to get into coaching.
  3. I think eliminating a lot of stuff from the offensive playbook is creating your own offense. Besides, no one in the NFL designs a completely new offense. Every OC just picks and chooses from their mentor's playbook.
  4. I'll be fine with an A-Lynn hire. It's what we should've done with Schwartz instead of running him out of town. The continuity will be nice. I guess it all depends on who he has in mind for DC. If he says Dennis Thurman, he's off the list.
  5. The Lions defense is no better than ours. No thanks to Austin.
  6. The Bills job was never suppose to be a rebuild. Rex inherited a top 5 defense. In fact, even if he did his best Schwartz impersonation, he would still have a job. Jacksonville was much different. That was a complete rebuild from bottom up.
  7. Woods or any other player should agree with the benching. From a players' perspective, the same thing happens when they hold out wanting a better contract.
  8. You guys laugh, but Buddy was on record numerous times saying EJ was raw and a 4-5 year project. He was suppose to develop behind Kolb, but instead he developed behind TT. It's EJ time!
  9. Consistent with what? As of now, we have scant facts but plenty of speculation.
  10. I wonder if he ever wanted to be a DC?
  11. Thread title is misleading.
  12. I couldn't find the whole Reddit, but there seems to be little substance in this shot. A lot of words and really doesn't say anything that could be substantiated, nor does he give any proof that he's an outsider. Geez, anyone on here could've done that.
  13. This sets us up perfectly to win the offseason.
  14. Very true. In fact, the next 1-2 months will tell us how we're going to be over the next 2-3 years. What's so painfully evident on the outside isn't so on the inside.
  15. Not true. There's still Overdorf and Russ.
  16. I'm pretty sure 85% of the posters on here said it would happen last year.
  17. I think what you meant was they were offensively worse off under Marrone.
  18. I'd rather have Rex finish out his contract than see Marrone back. After seeing how this year's team will finish with a similar record, there certainly wasn't anything special about him, especially since he benefited from a top 5 defense.
  19. Funny, all the things you listed are a coach's responsibility. It is the coach's job to make sure players know their assignments, know the fundamentals of tackling, and know that they have to run out after the marker. A coach is supposed to keep their players disciplined enough not to draw the stupid personal foul. And you bring up a good point about accountability. Is Rex holding anyone accountable for these flaws? We know he held Roman accountable, but what about on the defensive side? Has he bench a player for poor play? We all know he didn't with Mario.
  20. I would tell him he will be fired unless he does 2 things. First, fire all defensive staff, including his brother. And second, work with organization to hire a defensive coordinator that will have complete autonomy to institute his own defense.
  21. It does work sometimes though. It worked on the Washington kicker during the Thanksgiving game.
  22. If one reads this thread from the beginning, not just shooting off a comment based on the title, a lot of evidence has been laid out that Overdorf is not just a "cap guy". Maybe not a huge say, but he plays a significant role in making personnel decisions. Whether he should be axed for this is the true heart of this post.
  23. He's not just an accountant. Here's an article many on here may remember on last draft's war room...and with Overdorf negotiating our trade with Chicago. http://buffalobills.com/news/article-1/On-the-Clock---Inside-the-draft-room---How-value-and-need-aligned-for-the-Bills-/3f3d0d99-ba6e-4afc-994a-ed214208877d
