I am aware of how the power structure normally works. I am looking forward and just spit balling a bit, but if Whaley was thinking of changing the offensive staff, don't you think he would have kept MW to see what a real OC could or couldn't do with him? I guess I al asking if this cut this late in the season is a sign that next season will be more of the same. Inversely maybe Whaley is backing Marrone on this and MW has jumped the shark.

Thanks for reminding me

Thanks for reminding me

EJ did it. Our best game of the year was after a week of no practice. Orton looked better v. Detroit with barely any reps. So yes

Something that just occurred to me. For those hoping for a Marrone or Hackett fire, you would think that Whaley would keep MW and see what a new OC or HC does with him. He didn't. So it presents a few questions. 1. Who is controlling the roster, Whaley or Marrone? 2. If you are even THINKING about replacing somebody in the offensive side of the ball why not keep him?

It takes 2 weeks to adjust to altitude. Sometimes more. It's fine for mental prep but overall a useless physiological endeavor.

If our defense played our offense for 60 minutes of football I think our defense would at least tie if not flat out win.

Oj is out?

No he needs to apologize to us. We keep players like MW on the bench so that his buddy Marrone can save his job.

The court punishment was an absolute joke. I've seen guys get more than that in court for a DUI. It was absurd and a very liberal use of the term punishment. In regards to the who is the NFL, you're correct the U.S. judicial system is the only place in life that has any consequences for your actions....put John Smith at the top of his resume and have him go find other employment. Then let's see if this guy is a hirable employee. Again other than imprisonment the courts can't rule, "don't go to work for the rest of the year". This line of thought is so flawed and nonsensical to me. When you do crappy things sometimes you go to court, and sometimes it costs you your job. Welcome to life.

The issue I think is beyond the Ralph. We can clean that up. It's parking and the rest of the infrastructure in the area that is the problem. Simply, it is a safety risk getting peoe to and from the stadium, let alone parking and seating.

I never really understand this. Something as simple (not demeaning the offense) as a DUI conviction would cost many people their jobs or make them unhirable for a lot of professions. The courts never said don't hire this person. They don't rule that you can't go back to work, yet it happens all the time, and reasonably so. So I posit this to, not just you, but other posters as well. Go beat your kid with a stick, bloody and bruise his genitals. Have it in the front page of every paper. Then show up to court and tear positive for weed. (Not a weed issue, just a known agreement based on probation). Then go sit down with your boss and tell him all about it. Think you still have a job regardless of court judgment? The answer is no in just about every profession. Teacher, IT, engineer, graphic design, realtor. Sure you are welcome to find other similar employment. The part I think people miss is that the company is the NFL not the teams. Akin to being banned from McDonalds. Sure go to BK, problem is there is one NFL. I'll say this, I lived at the Olympic Training Center for a few years. I do this, and I am kicked out in a a second.

Never against Bellicheck. The last thing I want is to have to deal with a full half against an angry Bill and Tom

I won't comment on realism or should. One major problem could be too many players in the huddle. Granted there isnt one but something says this rule could be imparted. Even if you have player fake come on and off, I inagine if they come on the field even prior to the snap it could constitute. You have Fred or CH take the snap. It's ab option play so depending on what the defense is ready for they can do what they want. Yes any offensive substitution has to give time to the defense. Remember the Schiano debacle where they actually went after the kneel down for a fumble. It wasn't well received.

So we scored a touchdown then!!! Good news

People keep pushing this stuff and I don't know where it comes from. I hope the Bills turn around under Pegula, but there is no history in his tenure as a professional sports owner that suggests this. Infact it is the opposite, one may consider him meddling. Scouting players on his own, "Ted black doesn't have a monopoly on hockey knowledge around here"

Forget EJ. Winston is loking like a disaster, and I am guessing there are at least 10 teams with QB issues that have already written him off. But thanks for playing.

Totally in awe that Gugny didn't start this

That's what I meant. Writing going through my day on the mobile telephone

Yes

EJ is being sit because he needs to learn. To get it back I want it earned not lost by Orton. So week 1 2015 if he wins the position back!

I get the sense that there is turmoil between Whaley and Marrone. I know shocking stuff. It will come down to Pegula most likely. 8-8 most likely but could go, 9-7 will keep him. The wildcard is how Hackett and how tied Marrone is to him

I can turn a blind eye to weed, drugs, dwi's, even illegal gun ownership. No way I take AP or RR at any contract ever on my roster. I keep hearing that the courts have handled this and it isn't the NFL/employers job to. Well go knock your wife out cold, or beat your kid with a stick and shove leaves in his mouth, march into your bosses office, tell him you did it, and that it is all over the news. See if you come back to work tomorrow.

We played ourselves last week against KC, this week against MIA, and then again versus CLE.

Brady is playing lights out in NE. He isn't going anywhere. Bledsoe got booted(traded) in NE because Brady was on the roster. Tommy is 10x the QB Bledsoe could even pleasure himself to. There might not be an upgrade in the entire NFL over Brady, let alone on the NE roster. I hate Brady for dominating us for years, but would welcome him tomorrow if he showed up, and if it cost us 3 1st round picks I would take it. With this D, we are immediate favorites for the SB. Not to mention he is a "Buffalo" guy. Bounced in and out of the starting role at college. Passed on over and over again in the draft. Shows up day one to practice and tells Kraft I am the best decision you ever made. Has played with a chip on his shoulder for over a decade and he has taken that chip and turned himself into one of the greatest QB's of all time. This has Buffalo story written all over it. I really don't get the hate on the guy so much so that you wouldn't take him on our team. But guys like Rapelisburger and AP are A-OK.
