I’m guessing the fans are next! Both of them. 

Is that... why yes it is. I bet he’s dying to work with St Doug again ?

  Tom just might be home in time for Christmas meaning Central New York this year.  Given his age retirement is most likely his next gig.

Marrone knows how to dance the dance..(kiss ass) fooling another owner.....can not will not answer to a GM

[Phil The Thrill]

Wait does this mean that Marron and Dave Caldwell are safe?  Both should go.  Especially Caldwell who seems to hang around

I would bet both are gone on Black Monday.

Have you heard about anything else going on this last week? 

 

nothing concrete, pure speculation

 

Tom and Doug have ties that bind. Just a feel.

[BigBuff423]

Ironically enough, Fournette would be a terrific complement to Singletary. That’s a backfield with some serious juice.

The NFLPA flaming the organIzation by policies set by Coughlin isn’t concrete?

[Pine Barrens Mafia]

I remember when some clowns around here wanted this guy as a "football czar."

After consulting the children I found out his name is Shere Khan

The NFLPA just publicly trashed the policies set by Coughlin and told FA’s not to sign there.

 

That’s why he was fired.

Bullcrap. If they were 10-4, and had a playoff berth clinched, he'd still be there.

I disagree...he seems like a total my way or the highway/all explanations are excuses kind of dude.

 

McD and Beane are all about personal growth, which means continously looking at what happened and understanding why those things happened, which means diving into the explanations.

Rules, schmules....who need'em! LOL  So I guess if you were a warden, you'd be in favor of the inmates running the prison?

Bound to be some more info on the whole "25% of all player complaints are against the Jags" thing coming soon.  Probably trying to get ahead of that.

Came here to post this.  Jacksonville is the new Buffalo.

Honestly, the top end talent on most of those teams is better than Buffalo.

All of those teams have known, nationally recognized top end talent.

 

Buffalo plays football like a Greek Phalanx or Roman Legion goes to war.

Everyone knows their role, their assignment. The 'Heroes' are few and far between.

The next man steps up.

 

I loved the graphic on Sunday Night Football that showed 5 of Buffalo's D-Linemen were first round picks.

Can you name them?

 

This Buffalo team is like the No Name Defense. It is a unit.

Phillips, Hyde, Poyer, Edmunds and Milano all got snubbed. An argument could be made that Morse, Feliciano and Brown all got snubbed.

They can celebrate Tre White, but I am certain this is another coaching feather in the cap.

 

An out of town friend asked me what the Buffalo Defense is like because they don't do anything great. How is Buffalo 10-4?

I compared the entire Buffalo team to a Boa Constrictor that sucks the life out of opponents. It slowly, methodically chokes it's opponents out.

After struggling, the offense wakes up and delivers the coup de grace and strikes when least expected.

 

Buffalo has been the points underdog in their last 4 games. They are 3-1 straight up and against the spread.

Fine. There is no one that oohs and ahhs the general public or the average gambler.

 

I bought a house last spring, but plenty of my friends made out well on prop bets about the Bills this year.

There is still a lot of meat on that bone my friends.

 

I ramble on now, but it all starts with coach McDermott.

Better than a lot of coaches out there.

McDermott exceeds expectations with his roster.

 

The same can not be said in Cleveland, Jacksonville, Houston or the Jets.

 

And long may that reign CrippleCreek.

I'd be in favor of rehabilitation instead of throwing someone in solitary if they broke a rule, especially if there was a legitimate explanation for why that rule was broken, or a way to grow from that broken rule in a way that builds trust and connection.

 

Not saying that is the only way, or even the right way (though I think it is), but am saying one way is the McD and Beane "Process" and the other is not...

"the best coaching and front office situation in the league".

 

LOL I'll let you google it.  I already did.  It's not a pretty search.

Didn't see that one coming.  I figured Marrone would have gotten the can first.

I’m wondering if Shad Khan actually gives Marrone and Caldwell another year now, without Coughlin, to see if they can do better without him less,I guess in everything. 

 

Khan seems very very slow to fire people (Caldwell still somehow has a job, and Gus Bradley survived forever). I could see him giving them a chance (not saying that I think they deserve it, just to be clear). 

 

Edit - now I’m not so sure after reading Shad Khan’s statement...

says Marrone and Caldwell will report to him on an interim basis for the rest of the season.
