JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 of the two, Mularkey probably hates the Bills more. Unlike Marrone, he didnt even get $6 million to walk ... he just up and quit. Something pissed him off royally.
Augie Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 If true, we can hope they suck at tanking like the Jets? Right?
Cruiserplayer Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 Marrone is not resting his starters. According to him if he gets the Bills into the playoffs he should be called “Saint Doug.”
zow2 Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 I think the Bengals upset the Ravens. Cinci plays good ball in Baltimore. Im sure the Jags don’t want to get swept by Tenn and then likely have to play them a 3rd time. my main concern is the Bills winning in Miami. I can see the other stuff happening but the Bills blowing it
ToGoGo Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 There was an intense PR campaign to make Marrone look bad after the 9-7 season. 20/20 hindsight, the NFL might have made a deal with the Pegulas to bring in Rex Ryan to bring more attention to the team. I always felt the Marrone hatred was weird, and the way the local media piled on. Something was always off about it.

(Someone please let me know if that's correct.) So if next week's game is that meaningless, would Doug Marrone tank a game in order to keep the Bills from the playoffs? The only reason I can imagine he wouldn't is it would negatively affect his W/L record. I think it would be an added benefit for him, yes.
Nick the Greek Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 Remember when the Steelers 3rd stringers beat the Bills to keep em outta the playoffs. I’m sure who ever plays for the Jags will be going 100%. This is the NFL, and every player is playing for a contract.
Klaista2k Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Maybe Saint Doug can help us get into the playoffs this year!
26CornerBlitz Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Marrone: “We are going to play to win” HC Doug Marrone on the Jaguars’ approach in 2017 regular-season finale against the Tennessee Titans Sunday: “We’re 100 percent all in on winning this football game”

While I get why someone might have this thought pop into his head, I can assure you Doug Marrone could care less about the Bills playoffs hopes and is more concerned about his team just losing to the Niners and isn't going to want to go into the postseason losing 2 in a row. Its hard enough to win in the NFL, the last thing you want to do is start messing with your teams psyche just because you want to pee in someone else cereal for no benefit to the team what so ever. 2

People just like to poop on Doug because he left town. Marrone may have been a Summer's Eve but he wasn't the problem at OBD.

The only reason I can imagine he wouldn't is it would negatively affect his W/L record. I think he has more of an incentive to beat Titans to get Bills into playoffs. The Jaguars defense favorably matches up against the Bills better than other teams IMO. And they certainly do not want to play the same team twice in a row which would give Titans incentive to injure players to do better next game.
YoloinOhio Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Demarco Murray out. Should be helpful. http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sports/profootballdoc/sd-sp-pfd-demarco-murray-knee-mcl-playoffs-1226-story.html
Bakin Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 I think we are still paying him so he should do what we ask. Win Doug...win.
Doc Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Well that's one of the 3 games the Bills need. Hopefully the Bengals send Marv out on a winning note. Or Derek Carr finds his mojo again.
Chicken Boo Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Is everyone assuming the Bills are going to win down in Miami? This game is no gimme.
