Helpmenow Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 We're stuck with Marrone, et al, for at least one more season. Realistically, there is no other option. Your dreaming the Bills are stuck with him
26CornerBlitz Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Marrone deserves to be fired. He is supposed to be an offensive minded head coach but after two years we still havent established an identity on offense. -Talked about running super fast no huddle offense last year with EJ. Backfired -Talked about a power running game this year with EJ as game manager. Backfired -Keeping Urbik on the bench for half the season while Cyril Richardson was a turnstyle at guard. -Never able to utilize Spiller to his skill set -Sammy Watkins has back to back 30 yard games in the two most critical games of the season. -Focused all offseason on improving red zone offense, and we are worse at it than a year ago. -Focused all offseason on improving interior line play, and we are worse at it than a year ago. -Stunted develpment of 2nd round pick Robert Woods -Marquis Goodwin a 3rd round pick might as well be off the roster -Mike Williams is not being utilized in the red zone, after he spent all training camp dominating DBs on fade routes. -Conservative when he should be aggressive. -Has not been able to establish a winning culture -Hes ultra secretive to the media, and refuses to discuss injuries. the guys out of tricks. His love for Hackett has cost him his dream job...which he probably wasnt qualified for in the first place. And to think that we could have had Chip Kelly. The bills are stuck in the stone age, and by the time they figure out a winning formula our D line wont be nearly as good.....such a waste Idk how guys like Fred Jackson and Kyle Williams deal with this mediocrity. Year after year. Idk how I as a fan deal with this mediocrity. Year after year. All I wanted was meaningful football in December, and once again, our season is over before thanksgiving. I disagree. It's well established as boring, unimaginative, predictable, and cowardly.
TallskiWallski83 Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 I disagree. It's well established as boring, unimaginative, predictable, and cowardly. I guess youre correct. Terrible is an identity.
26CornerBlitz Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Marrone is like the cowardly lion, the scarecrow, and the tin man all rolled into one.
racecitybills Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 "Season on the Brink" -- Marrone punts- There is his legacy right there-
Tipster19 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Posted November 14, 2014 In another thread I advocated for Jon Gruden so we could have some offensive firepower while we have a few talented players on that side of the ball. The more I think about it I would like to amend that suggestion with Josh McDaniels. The guy is young and innovative, has worked with Orton before and has been mentored by arguably the greatest coach of all time. Furthermore who else knows Belichick, Brady and the Patriots better than him?!
Tampa Bob Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Marrone might be the worst coach of all of our terrible coaches. I think he has some maturity issues. They show him on the sideline and the guy is moping. No wonder we have no energy. I expected nothing more than what we got yesterday. The whole Mike Williams thing is strange. I am starting to think that he has some personal vendetta against him for whatever he did in college to get on marrone's bad side. It seems like he traded for him just to sit his ass on the bench. How can a guy who has been so productive in his career not be good enough to step on the field in this pathetic offense?
seq004 Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) I know it's so difficult being a Buffalo Bills fan since 1972.I sit back today and I think what can I do? It's not like I can just say all of a sudden hey I'm going to be a Browns fan or I'm going to be a Raiders fan or I'm going to be a Dolphins fan I can't I'm a Buffalo Bills fan and I'll always be a Buffalo Bills fan, so like many of you I'm stuck rooting for a team that seems hopeless year after year they tease us they get is interested they get his thinking hey we might make it this year and then sure enough on cue they fall flat on their face every stinking year and it gets so disheartening it gets so tiring.I guess my only hope now is that the Pegula family will bring in a winner of a head coach get rid of Doug Marrone and the offensive coordinator as soon as possible and hopefully I'll cut down to drinking 3 beers a game instead of 6 to get through a game in which the Bills are playing. God help us all Bills fans and bills nation. Edited November 14, 2014 by seq004
The Big Cat Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Through 26 games: Marrone: 11-15 Gailey: 9-17 Jauron: 12-14 I'm not entirely sure where this hyperbolic language about Marrone being the worst we've had in a while is coming from. He's not.
mikef272002 Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Coming off the BYE, Buffalo Bills QB Kyle Orton could only lead the Bills to 13 points in a HOME game loss. Four days later Orton led the Bills to only 9 points and no touchdowns in a away game. It's not Morrone or any other coaches. It's the simple fact that the Buffalo Bills do not have a quarterback for this team. If Pegula fires Morrone, whom does he hire to replace him with? Or as many coaches and players have stated the offense is very predictable. If you're putting up 13 points at home and 9 on the road it is poor coaching and poor execution.. This offense sucks under EJ and it sucks under Orton therefore it sucks under hackett and sucks under Marrone... Period!

He's not. IMO, Marrone has more talent to work with so it's not entirely about the W-L record. The outdated and conservative mindset along with the stubborn misuse of available personnel certainly puts him in the running for the worst.

He's not. You're right. They are all losers. Welcome to the loser club, Marrone.
26CornerBlitz Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 You're right. They are all losers. Welcome to the loser club, Marrone. Ultimately, you're correct since it's just varying degrees of ineptitude.

The outdated and conservative mindset along with the stubborn misuse of available personnel certainly puts him in the running for the worst. This charge of being "outdated" not sure what it's based on. As for "conservative," what do you consider "conservative?" This notion of "playing to keep things close at the end" is preposterous. It assumes that the offense's primary objective...isn't...to score? It's an entirely cooked-up critique that frankly makes no sense. But back to "conservative" in the traditional sense. Would you call a 89:41 Pass to run ratio over the last two games "conservative?" I'm confused. The decision to punt with 9 mins to go last night was HORRIBLE. But one stupid call does not a conservative coach make. Sorry.

He's being called conservative way too much for his go-to criticism. I hope we don't go down remembering him as this ultra-conservative coach - but likely we'll just slowly forget about him and confuse most of these games as being part of the Marrone, Gailey, Jauron trilogy.
....lybob Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Someone show him the Seinfeld episode where George does the opposite
Best Player Available Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Well Jim Harbaugh Will be available. he is under contract through the 2015 season. he can say whatever he wants. he needs to fulfill a contract or maybe the Bills can give up their 2016 first for him?

His in game decisions with regard to 4th down strategy is primarily what I'm talking about with regard to being outdated and conservative as evidenced by last week vs. KC and last night. Have some guts and be aggressive. Additionally, the run/possess the ball to win close, low scoring games philosophy is outdated when it comes to competing with upper echelon teams like NE, DEN, and GB who score TDs and compete for championships. His team's RZ offense has been an abject failure during his tenure as Bills' HC. Marrone is a relic who must go.
Fixxxer Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Isn't amazing that being 11-15 as a coach and with two months left from finishing year 2 on it, has the fans in a fire everyone frenzy?
