QB Bills

Nice thread idea... I'd go: Chan Jauron (he got more out of what he had to work with than greggo who had more talent) none...maybe mularkey by default? definitely none...these guys all sucked at this Chan...got some good tread out of fitzpicksix, as well as seeing the talent of stevie and freddie (eventually) Jauron? apparently the players loved him from what i remember i hated the entertainment value of the jauron years, but the fact he got to 7 wins three times with how crappy those teams are probably shows he's the best of the bunch excuse me while i go throw up now

He had a "fumble the season away" clause. If he does, we get a 3rd. If he doesn't, we get a 4th. Lucky us.

I wish they were playing in weather like this. Love those crazy games.

It really is remarkable when you look at it like that. Our postseason drought baby is now 15 years old and is experimenting with drugs and alcohol with its fellow 10th graders.

Gailey beat new england, which counts as 16 wins, so he's the real leader here.

Has to be Jauron, right?

Just for fun, let's bring this stat back up... Assuming every team has an equal chance at the beginning of every year to make the playoffs (obviously not always the case, as some teams are better than others), the odds of missing the playoffs in any given year are 62.5%. Missing three years in a row...24% Missing 15 years in a row.... Wait for it..... 0.09% That looks like 9% at first glance, but in actuality, it means that the odds of missing the playoffs 15 years in a row are less than one in a thousand. Now factor into the equation that the Bills haven't even been close to a playoff spot save for 2004, and haven't played any meaningful games in december other than that one year. FFS, the patriots have played more meaningful games in February than the Bills have in December. Now also factor in that the Bills haven't even sucked enough to get a top two pick in any of those years (and only two in the top 5..not including the trade up for Watkins) and the odds become astronomically low. Buffalo Bills football, ladies and gentlemen.

They need to tank for McDavid

I'm pretty sure you get the point. Assuming you do like the job Marrone has done, can you give me an example or two on what it is specifically that fans should be happy about with him? None of this "the team is playing hard for him" gibberish. Going to Orton might be the only smart thing he did, and that was probably decided out of job preservation. The team has had success because of the side of the ball that he does not have nearly as much to do with. He's an offensive guy, and our offense consistently underachieves. Not even because we don't have talent there. Why is that so hard for some people to come to grips with?

I really hope that whoever decides this doesn't look at a set number of wins required to make a decision one way or another. A coach should be able to maximize the talent on the field and give his team the best chance to win. Not continually get in the way, like this guy has done since he got here. As a poster here has repeated...the 2014 Bills are 12 win talent with 2 win coaching. They are winning in spite of the head coach.

In my basement. In the dark, next to the leaky ceiling. Wife beater, boxers, plaid robe, slippers. Cold pizza and warm beer. Anyone wanna come over?

The weird thing is, its not like their offense has been playing lights out. Their defense and special teams have been opportunistic. Still, would have been awesome to see what he could have done here. But we can't. Because..obviously.

"Play EJ" - Cleveland Browns

I agree with most of what you posted here except the part about Marrone's strengths. What, pray tell, is he exactly good at? He's the worst coach of the drought era, and I'm not sure it's close. If you need analytics to help you make decisions, then you're not a good coach to begin with. I want someone who's common sense jives with what the analytics tells you.

Best player on the team. Do whatever you can to keep him.

He hasn't been a good returner for a couple of years now. His longest return last year was like 17 yards if I remember correctly. More importantly though, he's one of the stupidest players to ever wear a Bills uniform. He calls for fair catches at times when there's no need to. The guy has physical tools, but is just not someone you can count on.

He just holds the ball so carelessly. On his next carry, where he had a good gain, he was still carrying it in such a non-chalant way. He will screw up again. Its just a matter of time. Can't win with loser players like that.

Nonsense. Stop giving this terrible coach a pass on this.

Take out the word "dressed" from the thead title and you have an even more accurate statement.

He's good. And he's always been good. Problem is, any front office that realizes this already has a good QB. Sign him for a few years. With a competent coach, this team is a contender.

No chance in hell the Bills win the Super Bowl this year.

11 of 15?!?!?! Did I read that right?

Nicely put. I wanted the Bills to keep him too. Not like they didn't have the cap space. The defense has gone up against two top tier QBs this year and gotten beat pretty handily both times. Please don't tell me Byrd couldn't have helped. It's all hypothetical now, but imagine this year's defense with a healthy Byrd and Alonso. It would have been so much fun to watch.

Easy on the paint chips, sport.
