One thing about Belicheat and staff is that they are very good situationally, I really hate to admit. But they have shown in the past that they will push the envelope (borderline cheating) if need be to win. He knows that Brady won't be around much longer and the clocks ticking...he getting desperate!
I'll blame the league if they don't address this type of thing this week. At the least if an ineligible player is in the game, especially in cases like this, they should allow the defense to get set accordingly. Past practice has shown with the hurry up type or unconventional offenses for the sake of competition the defense is allowed the opportunity to adjust.
Kudos to the cheaters, they got away with it this time and were able to advance. Belicheat has once again provided further proof that he's void of any moral fortitude and for Tammy Brady to rub it in with that comment, goes to show the respect they have for the spirit of competition.
The Pats axiom should read when you can't beat them, cheat them!

It's an effective tactic. Tests flexibility.
I hear Belichick does that when interviewing new coordinators. It's why the Patriots' halftime adjustments are so effective.
This is very good....I actually laughed out loud !!!

2. Todd Gurley - RB - GA (6'1" 232)
3.
Jalen Collins - CB -LSU (6'1" 195)AJ Cann -OG - S. Carolina (6'4" 315)5. Sean Mannion - QB - Or St (6'4" 220)
7. Jalston Fowler - FB - AL (6'1" 248)
Championship!
I like this better...btw, didn't Gurly have a bad knee injury that ended his season?

First of all, I don't understand the seeming distrust of Whaley. Why did it take so long to promote him to GM and why do people seem surprised that he is heading the coaching search? Isn't that what GM's are supposed to do?
Second, with the exception of Seantrell Henderson and perhaps Boobie DIxon, very few of the "name" acquisitions on offense, presumably made with heavy input from Whaley, have fared well or gone without a period in Marrone's dog house:
EJ Manuel --Draft - perhaps not the best place to start, but is it at all surprising that he tweeted "happy new year!" shortly after Marrone announced he was leaving? Marrone seemed to damn Manuel with faint praise even when (in 2013) Manuel had a good game. DId Manuel's regression have something to do with the climate Marrone created around him?
Robert Woods -- draft - also in Marrone's dog house during training camp
Marquis Goodwin --draft - see NY Daily News article for Marrone's treatment of him
Mike WIlliams - trade - see speculation on this board
Watkins -- draft -- too good to be ignored but under-utilized and not effectively utilized by Marrone
Cyrus Kuondjio -- draft -- struggled but was he truly beyond redemption?
Bryce Brown - trafe - inactive for many games although with the exception of the KC fumble, he didn't look horrible
Thad Lewis -- trade -- regressed badly in second season with Marrone
I have to say, there may be something to this...It's the only way to explain these head scratchers, IMO.
That last game against NE, how does Sammy not get more targets or at the least scheme some calls to get him to 1k receiving! That would have been something to build upon going into the off-season for the rookie. I hate to speculate but having Sammy reach this goal may have taken the spotlight off the 9 win season and saint Doug.
Also, Goodwin from 35 catches (2013) -----> 1 catch (2014)...makes NO sense at all.
Trouble with the redzone offense and nothing for a proven redzone talent (M. Williams)...smh!
Marrone was up to something, I'm convinced !!!

According to this board's favorite </sarcasm> reporter, Jerry Sullivan, they are:
http://www.buffalonews.com/columns/jerry-sullivan/pegulas-are-learning-the-hard-way-20150104
I just find it hard to believe that two people with the brains and know-how to make billions could be as lost as Jerry would have us believe.
The answer to your question is simply, NO.
Jerry Sullivan is an IDIOT!!!

I'm glad I wasn't watching SC today.
RIP and Boo-Yeah!
I was watching SC...man! that was a great tribute to my man, Stu.
Rich Eisen piece is also legendary, IMO.
RIP Stuart Scott!

A dome is inevetible....and, as I have gotten older, the cold hurts worse than it used to...I am a long time season ticket holder. (I was there to open the Ralph) I guess I can't agree with those who want it downtown, however, as the roads in and out are inadequate for an event that has a crowd of 75K. Need a venue with roads out in 4 directions......the Lake is to big an obstacle downtown. That is not the politically correct view, but a very practical view wrt the sale of game day tickets imho. Nobody wants to go to a game that takes 3 hours to get back home after its over.
Any new stadium and design for a downtown stadium would have to include the redesigning of the roadways...the city has been trying to include this with any new development idea. It was the major reason why the cost of the now defunct Bass Pro deal was so expensive.
Indoor Stadium something like the one in Indy...count my tax dollars in!

F U Marrone.

Do not like Dungy at all
You can add Cowher as well to my, NOT a fan wishlist...I'll pass!
I'd much prefer someone ahead of the curve that will add ingenuity ala the first intro of the west coast offense, K-Gun etc...just think out of the box!
Oh! Someone who can identify & develop a QB...think someone like Holmgren, Reid, McCarthy etc. Go Bills!!!

I want to see the baby!

We also still have Chris Williams (I know, I know, PFF).
Not quite sure how much you can depend on him returning. Here's an excerpt after he was put on IR-
Orchard Park, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills guard Chris Williams has seen his back injury take a turn for the worse.
The Bills placed Williams on injured reserve Saturday after he missed the last two games with a back injury and has already been ruled out for the team's Week 6 game against the Patriots.
Bills coach Doug Marrone has expressed his concern for Williams' back injury because of the nature of the injury. In Williams' absence, rookie fifth-round pick Cyril Richardson has been starting at left guard.
I would like to see the Bills pick up a FA OL starter or two and let them battle it out with Cyrus & Cyril plus a draft pick (A J Cann). Field the best 5 after the dust settles, IMO.
-
He said he would trade Marcel Dareus, next year's first and our 1st pick this year for the #1 overall pick this year, in which he would pick Jamies Winston.
But the Sammy trade was too risky ...
When I heard that this morning I "literally laughed out loud"...Man, these guys on WGR are literally stealing money. And he's the "trained eye" expert...SMH!
-
i wonder if the lack of QB discussion in that article is because it is from November. I think many felt Orton would be starting next year at that point. But IMO it is OG - QB -RB - TE. And sign Hughes and Searcy.
I truly understand the fanbase desire for a franchise QB but the FO has tried to fill this position. In the last two years they have, in addition to what's on hand, brought in Kolb, Leinart, Palmer, Young, Lewis & Flynn. Not all QB's have to be blue-chippers to make it in the league, what about coaching and development?
At what point is this a matter of a coaching staff unable to fit a scheme around the talent base? When GB traded for an unknown in (Holmgern) B. Farve & Holmgern again in Seattle w/ Hassleback, Philly-Chip Kelly with Foles, Houston (Kubiac) w/ M. Schaub...this staff doesn't seem to have the expertise or flexibility (scheme wise) to use the talent on hand. IMO, every team is searching for a franchise QB and rarely will one become available through other means, you have to have the staff that identifies the skill set required to make your offense function. First, we need an offensive identity (what is it?) then a quality staff to identify the necessary skill set (so the GM can go acquire) and development (we hired a QB coach & the QB's have regressed).
The Bills are trying they just have to keep swinging, IMO. But we need a coaching staff to identify what's needed at the position to move forward.

If Odell Beckham were drafted by the Bills, he'd still have Manuel or Orton throwing to him, and you'd all be calling him a bust and wishing for that Watkins guy.
This ^^^^^
:doh: -
I agree with this. Orton is objectively bad. But the weaknesses of the interior line have severely limited what they are able to do on offense. This is the SECOND YEAR IN A ROW that Whaley and Marrone went into the season with ZERO capable guards. In a normal business, heads would roll for that type of negligence. I'm pissed.
Huh? How can you say this? They signed Chris Williams- G (free agent) and drafted 3- OL this past off season.
The trend is most young players improve in their second year...let's hope & pray. The bigger question is, is it the student or the teacher, IMO. Marrone and staff has done nothing to show that they have a clue as to how to scheme an NFL offense.
There's a flaw or key in the scheme that's tipping the opposing defense. I've never seen a defense so ready for our screens, misdirections or play actions plays. I think its time to go back to the drawing board Team Marrone & Co.
-
And that means for them to get rid of that jerk Marrone, that 4 eyed little weasel Hackett and soon to follow that mope Orton. I think that Terry likes Brandon and Whaley is safe as well. In hindsight that little outburst in training camp that Marrone displayed is gonna come back and bite him in the ass. That was VERY unprofessional and his ornery attitude can't be all that appealing to the Pegulas. I don't recall anyone of ever accusing Marrone of being one to enhance the image of this franchise. I would love to see the Pegulas bring in Bill Polian as a consultant, much like the Jets are doing with Charlie Casserly. If they did you can count on one thing and that is not only is Polian very competent but he also has this franchise's best interest at heart. One Buffalo baby!
Go Bills!
I just don't see this happening...doesn't seem like the owners personality.
I agree hiring Polian is definitely the type of move that the owner would do but we have to be careful... Bill will try to infuse his son in the picture ala his tenure with Colts.
I think sound ownership would be to let this play out one more year after hiring the consultant (Polian) to evaluate the football operations. Then set the plan in motion including creating a management team merging the two franchises defining the One Buffalo theme. Russ will be assigned to marketing, Ted Black will remain President of operations & new stadium ventures and Kim Pegula will remain in her existing role.

It was a misdemeanor and resulted in 80 hours of community service. It was not a felony charge or conviction. And if the majority opinion of this board ran the Bills, they'd be in the CFL by now and still mired in a playoff drought.
People didn't like Lynch, I understand that. But posts like yours (full of hyperbole and personal attacks on a guy you've never met) are easy and cheap. I'm not trying to change your opinion on the guy, just saying you don't need to invent things to make him sound worse than he really is.

I've asked these questions in other threads.
1.) How is it that both QBs have exactly the same issues?
2.) I thought Marrone's offense was no huddle, up tempo, what is this offense?
My sentiments exactly...plus at what point does the question of using the talent at hand to their effectiveness?
Also, how does a supposed "offensive" mind coach cook up a scheme to use CJ as a power back when his skill set is better suited in space or stretch type approach? What makes it worse is that you have a former OL as HC and he's unable to identify the skill set necessary to execute his power approach or a screenplay nonetheless, smh.
To be quite honest with you, I really don't think they have a clue. Hackett called a decent game in Denver so I'm not sure who's to blame...is Marrone holding him back or have they both reached their ceiling? What's obvious is that they're not very creative or intune as to how to scheme an offense to exploit a defense's mismatch, IMO.

Dion Sanders "Unless this offense connects on the explosiveness of Sammy Watkins then . . . you can . . . you can just forget about it . . . because this offense is just so predictable."
And that about sums it up.BTW Hacket sucks
Thank you!!!
Just think Orton showed promise the first 3 wks all of a sudden he has regressed over the last 3...the coaching philosophy is NOT NFL ready!!!
Go back to the Pinstripe Bowl Mutt & Jeff...they will be better coaching on their next stint in college, err high school!!! Turrible (Charles Barkley voice)!!!
-
I don't know about that. The first point he makes is Sammy is unstoppable and the Bills should target him more.
Which is what the Hackett detractors are saying.
His next point is, look at how good this pass play worked on first down to Woods.
Which is what the Hackett detractors are saying, throw more on first down.
Then he shows more pass plays that were awesome.
Ummmm...
Thank you for making this point.
My issue with the scheme is that the offense doesn't appear to dictate to the defense. Hackett's offense waits to get the look it wants to attack instead of scheming different sets & formations to make the opponent adjust into the mismatch that he wants to see, ie. Reid, Payton, etc...
I truly understand the importance of a ground game but show some movement & creativity...they finally incorporated a WAM block last game for #38's TD (Brilliant!).
Every team has the same play but timings everything. Just look back on the year Sean Payton was suspended, same players, same plays but the interim coach didn't have a feel for the game or when to pull the trigger...that's what I sense about Hackett. I'm really hoping that I'm wrong.
-
I've been a silent supporter of Hackett hoping he would get more agressive with his play calling but the constant run run pass punt is getting ridiculous.
I'm not sure if he's the fall guy or NOT, Marrone may be hampering him because it defies logic. They continue to run the same basic sets & formations like its still pre-season...absolutely no creativity.
The system is designed not to create a mismatch and /or exploit the weakness of the defense's personnel. Its like he just calls plays with no regard of the matchup, IMO.
Has Hackett & staff ever aligned a formation to put the opposing defense on it heels, scheme-wise? Good coordinator's scheme an offense to the talent at hand and scout out the short-comings of the opponent. I just don't get the feeling that, this is what he does...at all!!!
He needed more seasoning in college as an OC because he's in way over his head, IMO.

After 7 games the Bills offense still among the worst in the league. From ESPN: http://espn.go.com/b...ill-among-worst
POINTS SCORED
Patriots: 7th (26.7)
Dolphins: 11th (24.5)
Bills: 27th (19.3)
Jets: tied-28th (17.3)
THIRD-DOWN OFFENSE
Jets: 18th (41-of-101, 40.6 percent)
Patriots: 21st (40-of-102, 39.2 percent)
Dolphins: 23rd (29-of-76, 38.2 percent)
Bills: 25th (37-of-100, 37 percent)
RED ZONE OFFENSE (based on TD percentage)
Patriots: 19th (13-of-24, 54.2 percent)
Dolphins: 20th (15-of-28, 53.6 percent)
Bills: 28th (10-of-24, 41.7 percent)
Jets: tied-30th (9-of-22, 40.9 percent)
I gotta admit I love Orton and his two game last minute drive heroics, (Detroit & Minnesota) and against the Vikings it was a TD pass with one second on the clock.
Alas, Kyle Orton has been sacked 13 times in 3 games, and 6 of those were in the last game at home against Minnesota. 5 came against New England at home. Alarming huh? How long does he survive this season? Now the Bills go to NY where the Jets sacked EJ 8 times last year, yikes!
The Bills are finally benching LG Cyril Richardson for Kraig Urbik. Yet Pears still stays at RG, and Henderson at RT. No idea why Chis Hairston hasn't gotten a look, as he graded in the green at his last stint as starting RT.
I liken Doug Marrone in keeping Nathaniel Hackett as his OC again this year to Gailey keeping George Edwards as his DC after his failed first year. This year the Bills started out running more then passing against Chicago, Miami, and winning both. Then inexplicably started throwing it 40 times a game the last 5 games, and lost 3 of 5. All this passing started against the Chargers, and nearly got EJ killed against Houston.
I sure hope the Bills change their tactics back to more runs then passes against the Jets. Then perhaps Orton might just live thru the game. GO Boobie! Go Buffalo!
The Bills offense is offensive...that is all !
