Bronc24 Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Bobby Petrino anyone? Mike ditka? Heck, bill walsh's corpse could out coach Marrone Bobby Petrino? Hahahahaha Soooooweeeee!!!!!
4merper4mer Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Wait, even if we win the SB? Why would your Patriots winning the SB help Marrone keep his job?
The Dean Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Why would your Patriots winning the SB help Marrone keep his job? Well done, sir.
youngunz Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 This is the most idiotic thing I have heard. A. Season hasnt even started B. What if the Bills break the playoff drought this season C. When Pegula got the Sabres Lindy was still safe (Regeir too) Florio can go rub down Belicheat and keep his opinions to himself.
Packerland Bills Fan Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 This team has disaster written all over it. As much as I love Sammy Watkins a a player, I think they got schooled by the Browns in this trade, surrendering next year's first rounder to move up a mere 5 spots. That's the type of trade you make under 2 scenarios: (1) Acquiring a franchise QB (Think Giants and Eli) and (2) When your team is 1 player away (think Atlanta and Julio Jones). The Bills were in neither situation. Classic sign of a desperate front office unsure of its job security past this season. EJ is still developing as a QB and will likely make a number of mistakes along the way. The backup situation is disastrous. While Jacksonville does it right, having a veteran like Chad Henne in the room to support its young QB, this front office fills the roster with castoffs like Jeff Tuel and Thad Lewis. On one hand, it's humorous. On the other hand, it's flat out sad. The defense will keep this team in games, but this roster is not a playoff roster and I HOPE I'M DEAD WRONG!!!! I think the Browns are really going to regret not drafting Sammy. Without Josh Gordon they may have the worst group of receivers in the NFL.
beerme1 Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 While Jacksonville does it right, You lost me bro.
ExWNYer Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Well if Florio said it, it must be true. New ownership always fires the HC.....except for when they don't. Move along, nothing to see here. I see what you did there. Nicely done. This is the most idiotic thing I have heard. A. Season hasnt even started B. What if the Bills break the playoff drought this season C. When Pegula got the Sabres Lindy was still safe (Regeir too) Florio can go rub down Belicheat and keep his opinions to himself. Agreed. I don't think he's automatically gone, especially if Pegs gets the team.
beerme1 Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 It seems like Marrone and Hackett Jr have done less with more when compared to Chan. I dont see the OL being coached up(wasnt Marrone an OL), seems like the same old crap from last year, cant get the ball in the endzone, cant run in short yardage. No imagination when it comes to using Spiller, etc. As for Whaley he better be active after cuts to find this team a capable back-up QB. Wait. We're playing football now? I thought this is practice, pre season doesn't count, doesn't matter. Check back about week 10 in this case, if it's Pegula, I don't know if that would be the case. I think he would retain Brandon and let Brandon make the recommendations on FO personnel, at least for the 1st yr and especially if he has a winning record. Just my prediction. Well I would expect Russ to stand by his men. I wonder then if that means it turns out like Darcy and the Sabres? Doesn't matter. You know we're going to be good this year right?
SlamnSam Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 I sure hope whaley is fired. How do you spend 2 first round picks on a receiver and not get a QB to throw to him? I mean we don't have a QB on this team.
hondo in seattle Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 We don't know who the new owner will be. We don't know his football philosophy. We don't know if he'll keep Whaley or Brandon. We don't know how well Marrone will do this season. But we do know Marrone will be fired when the season is over. Does this make sense?
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 We don't know who the new owner will be. We don't know his football philosophy. We don't know if he'll keep Whaley or Brandon. We don't know how well Marrone will do this season. But we do know Marrone will be fired when the season is over. Does this make sense? Apparently "we don't know" was shown not to generate enough clicks. However someone getting fired? People line up for that.
DirtDart Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio said on the Dan Patrick show that Marrone will be fired at the end of the 2014 season. Agree or disagree? Why in either case. If the team shows marked improvement, or a playoff run there is now way he gets the axe. I think the Browns are really going to regret not drafting Sammy. Without Josh Gordon they may have the worst group of receivers in the NFL. They have Johhny Manziel. Edited August 19, 2014 by DirtDart
Thurman#1 Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio said on the Dan Patrick show that Marrone will be fired at the end of the 2014 season. Agree or disagree? Why in either case. That's idiotic. How can anyone say what will happen to Marrone ... before the season? If he goes 2-14, sure, he'll be fired. 14-2, not so much. Now, he will be between those two records somewhere, and what matters is where between them. Nobody even knows who the owner will be. Florio must have been responding to a slow day and tried to liven things up. This team has disaster written all over it.

While I agree with a lot of this, and I wouldn't have made that trade, I still see a chance for this to work out well. If Watkins is a player at the level of an AJ Green, that type of guy, and nobody else in the draft is, then it will have worked out well. But he'll have to be that kind of a guy, a dominant guy, for years. And if Watkins is, but so is Odell Beckham or Kelvin Benjamin, or somebody else, IMHO it won't have been a good trade. They gave up a lot. I'm hoping it works out. I wouldn't have done it.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 He cited new ownership as the reason. That makes it more likely but it really depends on this season. If we tank he's out, if we make the playoffs he stays. Pegula is a patient man so that could work in Marone's favor.

May Day 10 Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 It's very possible this team finishes last again for the 7th straight season. This is a team that put a lot of chips on the table for immediate success in the watkins deal. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility to see a lot of pink slips with a new owner. They win. Everyone's happy
BuffaloWings Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Geez....one could make a case for firing Marrone, Philbin, or Ryan. Florio didn't exactly go out on a limb with that statement.
Thunderstealer Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 I am starting to think he is right When you step back and look at the whole Bills situation. It's hard to imagine any Wilson employee staying after this year
