Buftex Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Has it been mentioned yet that this is already being discussed in another thread?
MDH Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I'm now 200 percent convinced Marrone knows exactly what he's doing and he was the right man for the job. Absolutely. The Jets job.
Big Blitz Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Someone ask Joe B or Rodak or whoever was there, what was so bad about EJ and the offense over the summer and during preseason games that led either them or the coaches to think being more aggressive or complex should be the way to go? First these clowns wanted EJ benched......replaced by a retired QB....but more complex was the way to go? I can't anymore with this crap. Get Marrone back. Fire everyone else but Schwartz. Uhm, the simplified offense made sense with a 2nd year project QB. Not so much with a 10 year vet on his 6th team. And the magical instant bond he'll have with our receivers?
1B4IDie Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Ask Tampa Bob... he'll give you his thesis. Don't ask Tamp Bob. Please Don't.
GG Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 And the magical instant bond he'll have with our receivers? Funny how his magical instant bond with the receivers regressed over the season. Why was that? I could have sworn that I read everyone's praise of Orton's work ethic and how he commanded the receiving corps. There were also innuendos that a big reason that Big Mike was tossed from the team was lack of chemistry with Orton. So which argument will you choose now?

GG Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Not my point. I'm not defending Orton Then exactly who are you defending in not changing up the offense at all when they put in a 10-year vet behind the center and sat two quality WRs on the bench?
1B4IDie Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Fred Jackson for head coach!...how can you be a Bills fan and not love this guy? I think Fred functions as assistant Head Coach now. Seems totally possible he pursues a coaching position after he retires. **** if he could have just taught CJ Spiller to fall forward for 3 yards after contact like he does he could have already earned a spot.
Max997 Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Well there's 4 mins of my life I won't get back...what a horrible video Funny that Fred went there though...can already see the signs and chants when Marrone comes to the Ralph Edited January 5, 2015 by Max997

Apparently he did change things! He coached to what he had on O (no QB and a bad oline) in order to complement having the great D he had nothing to do with. That's exactly what you want a coach to do. Not think he's playing Madden like the talking heads of WGR think u can do. Pittsburgh loses a running back and the whole O went to crap. Arizona led by the QB whisperer barely puts up 80 yards total vs the panthers. Geniuses.
Beef Jerky Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Then exactly who are you defending in not changing up the offense at all when they put in a 10-year vet behind the center and sat two quality WRs on the bench? What two quality WRs were on the bench?
YoloinOhio Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Well there's 4 mins of my life I won't get back...what a horrible video Funny that Fred went there though...can already see the signs and chants when Marrone comes to the Ralph Yeah it's an awful video. That's what Fred's comment reminded me of though!
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 My prediction is that Fred will be a head coach. Same for Kyle Williams.
DC Tom Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 The word is he didn't even do that. Bills players said they did not receive a text directly from him. He texted a guy in the personnel dept. and told that guy to fwd to team. Now that is just wrong. I can understand mass texting everyone something like "Hey, guys. I just resigned. Sorry for the text, but I wanted you to find out from me before it hit the media. Call me with any questions." But having someone else do it on your behalf is just cowardly.

Arizona led by the QB whisperer barely puts up 80 yards total vs the panthers. Geniuses. Pittsburgh was down to its 3rd string RB, because Tomlin wanted to teach his back up a lesson. How did that work out? Sound familiar with a coach insisting on teaching a lesson to a player, at a team's expense. Tomlin is lucky that Big Ben is as durable as he is, otherwise, he'd be toast too. Cardinals were down to their 3rd string QB and still qualified for playoffs in the toughest division in the league. How would Marrone & Co. do with Tuel at the helm? One of these is not like the other. The whole point of inserting Orton in there was to get an NFL caliber QB on the field. So why continue to run a high school offense? Unless your ultimate goal is to show off the GM and win a power struggle at the end of the season, especially knowing that he had an out clause that would keep him whole financially through 2015. You are right, he knew exactly what he was doing. Which was to submarine the 2014 season. What two quality WRs were on the bench? That would be the one guy with more catches and TDs than the rest of the WRs combined and the other one who's the fastest on teh team, and at least demands deep attention.
Lombardi1 Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Jackson: Marrone handled exit wrong http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/12123286/fred-jackson-says-doug-marrone-exit-left-buffalo-bills-jilted?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Guess Freddy, his teammates, and the Bills fans didn't get the memo that St. Doug walks on water...
DC Tom Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 My prediction is that Fred will be a head coach. Same for Kyle Williams. Don't know if they'll go that far. But I would be shocked if neither succeeded as a position coach.
YoloinOhio Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Now that is just wrong. I can understand mass texting everyone something like "Hey, guys. I just resigned. Sorry for the text, but I wanted you to find out from me before it hit the media. Call me with any questions." But having someone else do it on your behalf is just cowardly. and it was after it hit the media as well, reportedly
Max997 Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I'm not completely buying this as no matter how hamstrung you are which is usually in the passing game you can still design a decent running scheme which he clearly wasn't able to do.
