Tcali Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 Marrone was smart to get out of Buffalo. Great move.He knew he would have a Nathan Peterman in his future if he stayed. 4 minutes ago, Dr.Sack said: We couldn’t even score 2 points yesterday so your point is don’t score as much as you can mmmkay. 90 minutes of football and counting..--whats the record?
TheFunPolice Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 Marrone wanted to bring in his buddy Polian and get rid of Whaley and Brandon. When it didn't work he pretty much had to take the $$ and run. I might have done the same thing if I didn't grow up a Bills fan. I mean, I know Marrone was a hometown guy and all...

Our defenses were better with him and he’s an offensive guy. He probably just didn’t want to be told to play EJ anymore. I don’t know why people are mad at him. Be mad at the idiot that gave him the opt out. I agree. I always like Marrone and think he is a good coach even though that is not the popular opinion. However, he was blown out in like 4 games his two years here.
coloradobillsfan Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 If I understand the new-ish rule correctly, the Jets could have intercepted or returned that 2 point try the other way and suddenly it's a 1 score game
peterpan Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 "because I couldn't go for 3" haha! I like it. Play to win, no chances. Take your sportsmanship argument back to your kindergarten safe space.

But in this instance, knowing that down the road he may need to get a 2pt conversion to win a game, I say get some reps in live action while you can. But I"m looking at it from that standpoint only. Not the emotional lenses most people are probably correctly looking through. Maybe it's a big eff you to the owner of the Jets, in which case it's still pretty iffy. You are winning the game. what does 2 extra points do? My thoughts as well. What difference does 1 point make?
holmz56 Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 Pete Carroll did a fake punt up about 36-6 vs. Bills when we played Seattle in Toronto and the crowd cheered ! The Bills said Bye Bye Toronto !

If NY int's and returns it or returns a fumble they only get 2 pts. 31-14 and if they would be allowed to score a TD on a PAT return and then went for 2 it would be 31-22.

The Frankish Reich Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 I pretty much understand baseball "don't show up the opponent" protocol when you're winning big. You don't steal bases, you don't bunt for a hit, etc. The football unwritten rules are kind of a mystery though. Why is it considered o.k. to send in the kicker to kick the extra point when you're up by 21 with one minute to play? After all, you could just send out the offense again and take a knee on an ostensible try for a 2 point conversion. That's what teams do when they score a game winning touchdown as time runs out on the game clock. Why isn't kicking the extra point considered piling on, whereas going for 2 is? Nobody bats an eye when a team leading by 23 points kicks a field goal on 4th and 1 with less than a minute of game time left. Why not just take a knee on 4th down and turn it over on downs? In other words, I have no problem with what Marrone did. It's not like KC having Dontari Poe throw a TD pass when you're winning by 3 touchdowns late ... that's one where it's easy to spot the line (trick plays done for the highlight reel only) and the fact that Andy Reid crossed it.

Our offense was putrid and our offensive line (both are his "expertise") was crap, even though with the same personell they had been good previously and again after he left. Marrone has nothing to do with our defense being good, and he has nothing to do with the Jags defense being good. I was all too happy he opted out.

Our offense with Orton was twice as good as what it is now. That was the best passing game we have had since Bledsoe. We just had no RB. If you gave Orton Shady and didn’t start EJ the first 4 weeks, that’s the team that ends the drought. Edited October 2, 2018 by Brianmoorman4jesus 2

For like 2 or 3 games, yes, but then Orton started sucking horribly.

He was the best QB we had durring the drought Go look at his game logs after the bye week. Steep drop off. He started playing scared, and I attribute that DIRECTLY to Doug Marrone wanting him to play conservatively. 1
