The writer also got his years wrong. Bledsoe never had 2 consecutive losing seasons, he went 8-8 and 6-10 but he was released after the 2004 season where they went 9-7.

I love the finish. If you want the Bills to win next week, this couldn't have been better. The Jaguars were playing an emotional all out game and Roethlisberger popped their balloon. They should be completely drained and properly deflated for next week
Agree totally.
Seems like Marrone isn’t bad at building up franchises but he really really wares out fast. I’m sure his personality has to do with that
Only he didn't really build that Jags team. He inherited a lot of those guys from Gus Bradley's regime. Today's loss was textbook from the Bradley years. He has a terrible personality. All this talk that he's the "next Parcells" clearly went to his head.

I have a friend in FLA who is a Jags fan. He doesn't think Marrone is in trouble this year unless they totally collapse down the stretch. He said most fans are unhappy with the GM Caldwell and that the team may be in some cap trouble next year and will have to shed or restructure contracts on the defensive side of the ball that could really hurt the team. Fans are also not happy that they extended Bortles and gave him so much cash and he's responded by playing like he always has. And a lot of people down there think if Marrone stays he may need to shakeup the staff. The offense has struggled, but the real problem has been the defense. Even though he wasn't a world beater in the middle, the retirement of former Bill Paul Posluzney has hurt both in the locker room and on the field.

Teams still have the option to wear them, but I hope the Bills pass on that option. We haven't even seen the white throw-back unis this year either. Not that I'm a fan of those either.

QB development today isn’t the same as yesteryear. There is an instant gratification mentality today and you see it on this board.
Back in Fergies day a team drafted and stuck with that guy for the most part. It took years for those QBs to hone their craft.
It would require the same today but fans and teams want it NOW.
Fergy was a wide-eyed rookie in '73. Only threw 6 TD passes all year, but he didn't have to do much more with OJ behind him and the Electric Company in front of him. It wasn't until his 3rd season in '75 that he really blossomed into a solid NFL QB. That team had a great offense, but a lousy defense otherwise they could have made the playoffs and done some damage. You really need to give QBs 3 years but there's so much pressure to see if you have "the guy" with CBA and when you have to make decisions on 5th year options.

Who plays Nate Peterman in the movie?
-
That's true, and it was the Bills first playoff win since the 60s. Now you're making me remember the following weeks game against the Bengals and that mystery delay of game penalty at the end.
-
Bill Simpson was our 3rd starting safety that year. Jeff Nixon tore and ACL which was a shame, he could have been a good player for many years, and his backup Rod Kush also went down to injury. Maybe if 1 of those guys is healthy that TD pass to Smith doesn't happen....maybe. God that as tough just now to watch that play, but thanks for posting.

That's a photo, not a shot from TV broadcast.

They didn't show it on TV because Zay held it up to the parabolic microphone they use for field sound. He must have thought it was a camera. Odds are there wasn't a camera angle.

He survived some really bad teams. They were 3-11 at one point in '77 and he rebounded under Chuck Knox to become one of the better QBs in the game a few seasons later. We should take note that he needed weapons around him to be successful and he didn't always have that here. In some ways he had less to deal with then what we have now. I will always be a fan and respect him for what he did as a Bill.

As of today he was getting 1st team reps in practice at LG.
-
I gave up early on this game so I didn't know he went on. Was he at LG or RG? Thought he looked he had potential in the preseason but needed to learn the pro game better.
-
Underneath throw to Charles Clay....which he drops.
-
I'm a life long fan and want him to succeed, but he just doesn't have the physical tools to be a good NFL passer. There's no zip on those passes especially on sideline routes and the DBs will sit on those all day. They have no one who can take the top off the defense so the medium range throwing lanes will be clogged up. It's a no-win for this kid.
-
35 years old, hasn't played in a full game in 2 years, missed all of training camp......yeah he's sore as hell. Welcome back to the NFL old man!

Yes I saw that, it was interesting to say the least. Russian hockey was a different beast. Did you ever see the HBO special on the US team?
-
1980 US Olympic Hockey team. Nothing will ever top that for me including the Bills & Sabres.

No the helmets are the same, they just change the decals for the logo and the stripe.
-
Been doing the red top on blue bottoms on Madden since the color rush came out. They look amazing.
Any way you get a screen-cap posted of that?
-
Just for the heck of it, I wonder what they would look like with blue jerseys and red pants, or red jerseys/blue pants. Anyone good a photoshop want to try to do that combnation for me?
-
I wish they would wear the Red helmets once or twice a year.
They can't do different helmets during the season anymore. Something to do with trying to prevent head injuries, the NFL rules state that the helmet you get at the beginning of the season is what you have to wear for the year.
-
I would love to see Vinny come back from retirement.
Perfect and then we can maybe lure Rod Tidwell out of retirement as well. He was never afraid to go over the middle.
-
We're not the Giants either. If you looked at the Giants' description and saw "Long standing NFL team with Superbowl winning QB, star RB and superstar WR" vs. the Bills "Rookie QB with nobody, no playoff wins in 20 years" you would pick the first choice. But we know the second choice is a better option for now.
Doug Marrone Jokes Around and Shows Charisma, Despite His 3-7 Record

He also has Tom Coughlin above him. I'll bet St Doug can't get away with his normal BS knowing he has to answer to a football czar with way more street cred than he has!
