oh good, the Dick Jauron era is coming back

Can't exclude the Chroise

Don't care about the retread stuff, but I think he called a terrible first half against the Broncos. Basically spotting Peyton 17 points. Far too conservative

I don't think every team has to do it, but that no team is aloud to turn it down anymore. Basically HBO picks a team, and the NFL as a franchise accepts it. On a similar idea, the same as the draft. I have heard a few GMs say that the draft is unamerican, being told where you have to work. Think of it like McDonalds. You apply, get a job at the Sheridan location. Then say you only want to work at Delaware. Nope you have a job McDonalds, you work at the location we need or want you, otherwise you don't work here. Long story longer, the NFL singed an agreement with HBO, in turn HBO is allowed to shoot wherever they want. Mostly because the owners aren't individuals at all, they all belong to the NFL

For me, if it is between Marrone and Dareus, at this point it is easy to say Dareus stays Marrone walks. I doubt Marrone has this type of clout with Whaley anyways, no way the FO should let a player like Dareus go at the advice of a first time HC.

i have been saying this for a while. why hasnt green bay fixed that oline. rogers regularly takes a huge beating. it has already started to bite them in the ass when he got injured. he has easily the worst ol in the playoffs. in all honesty that roster is a little bit of a mess, held together by a handful of all-stars.

The biggest issue with Hacket is he isn't Chan. Seriously. We saw a bad Oline masked with scheme, how dangerous CJ can be when put in the right positions. Hackett did a terrible job at getting CJ in space and, did nothing to get the pressure of a weak O line.

I heard on NFL radio, a lot of guys who go sleeveless where petroleum jelly on there skin. it wicks moisture, and insulates the skin all at the same time. when you break it down this way, it may be even better than a polypro long sleeve, especially since they can reapply regularly. not to mention for a rb most likely makes him harder to grab.

Dude, your'e arguing for arguments sake. he led the Bengals to their first winning season in 15 years! Fine pre-injury he hadn't won a playoff game, but put the Bengals on the map in terms of recent relativity. He also only threw one pass in the playoffs, only to be injured and then in turn create the Palmer rule. he had an average QBR over 100. Your argument holds little to no validity, and you hide behind the guise of raise standards

FWIW pre ACL injury, Carson Palmer was considered a top 5 QB in the league. Not claiming EJ to have similar trajectory, but if we get pre-injury Palmer QB producion in the next 5-10 years, the Bills would be lucky.

Am I the only who is noticing that Luck doesn't seem to be looking off a single defender. Seems to be staring down receivers.

I don't think Cam and EJ are similar players. The point is EJ isn't slow. And no when I see EJ run I don't think it looks like he is wearing lead cleats. We're just saying things for the sake of saying things.

EJ ran a 4.65, Cam Newton ran a 4.58.

Agreed, he talks a lot about statistics, but on how many 3rd and mid/shorts do we run a play with 2 receivers running two go routes and if we are lucky a tight end running an in/out route (if it isn't a a go route). The chances of completing those go routes is approximately 10-15%. Lets talk about that glaring statistic. That is one of the questions I want answered. It is one of the most, if not the most, glaring mistake in play calling this team seems to run consistently.

I have said for a while that the salary cap should include coaches and trainers salary. It would actually create more parody. I think forcing a team like the Bills to possibly invest in say a QB coach for their 2 rookie QB's, or t Pats to pay Belichick, but that means they possibly can't afford Tommy Boy.

Awesome Work Man !

think your'e reaching pretty hard dude. not saying he's the be all end all, i dont think anybody on this board is saying that. EJ doesn't have a history of injury, and dealing with a knee injury. in fact it is not uncommon to see athletes with one bad knee hurt their other one relying too heavily on it to mask the other. not an excuse, it just is. if EJ has the same knee injuries with you next year, I will join you. The sky is not falling I honestly think as Bills fans we don't deserve nice things. We run everything and everybody out of town unless they are day one HoFers. I seriously doubt Kaep, Wilson, Foles, or any other QB that wasn't a "sure thing" in college would have worked here. It is not a defense of EJ, it isn't EJ specific, it is purely a criticism of the fan base in regards to a number of players and coaches

it's no more cherry picking than picking on the tampa game. 3 games under 65, 3 over 100. take out his best and worst, and he is at an 80. The sample size is only 10, so cherry picking 3 results is basically a third of the sample. summary: we haven't seen enough

you are correct, maybe i am wrong on the game, i was just going off the top of my head. possibly panthers? not sure. thank you for the correction

All depends on the running game, if we get that going, Thad looks decent, throws a TD, rushes for 1, and a pick. 220 yards, about 61% completion. We don't get the run game, expected Thad to look like this: 1 fumble, 2 int's, 2tds 55% possibly under 200 yards for an embarrassing loss. We pick up close to 200 on the ground and the D holds strong, forcing 2 turn overs we in. I guess nothing too special, same as every game so far this year

Christ, are we really whining about not having a terrible Nassib on our roster...

that was obvious. no way the dude was going to play right after a herniated disc.

MODS- can we close this down and or merge it with the other one

I can't the article is yes exhaustive, but not all that informational I think. More missed reads would have been nice. What I am interested in is EJ completion % behind center vs. shotgun. The eye test says he is better from center. His better games seem to come from there. I remember the Ravens game being one of them, almost exclusively behind center. I would be curious as to sacks from the shotgun rather than center. I have no clue, but it would be interesting to see if the shotgun helped or hindered the OL. EJ seems to have a better feel for the pocket from behind center, not just footwork, we also run the ball better from there is well. I also have a sneaking suspicion that he is more accurate from outside the pocket, a la Big Ben.

I think this is a drastic over exaggeration. I will agree the QB position was mishandled, but I do not think it is beyond salvageable as you imply. They also mismanaged the OL big time.
