We have a much different definition of unfounded. What 9 different things did I say, Yoko?

That screenshot somehow was supposed to let us know that we lost the game because of a 3rd and 22. Duh.

What? Is this how you always argue? What a weird deflection.

To put your stupidity in perspective...EJ would literally need to play NINE straight games with only one total passing TD to be as bad of a passer. I don't know about you, but that is pretty bad. Like, so bad that it's not really comparable. Sorry.

Tebow actually threw for 17 TDs in 23 games. EJ has thrown for 16 TDs in 14 games. Even when you try to use stats you have to resort to lying and manipulation to make your point seem valid.

He's also brutally honest, and actually disgraces Hackett worse than most here.

Can't disagree with any of this. It's a real shame that we have had to watch this offense fail on so many occasions. It's mostly a manner of out thinking themselves, which will always be the most frustrating degree of failure. This 3rd and 1 is not complicated. Against the Raiders, it's even less complicated.

I feel like we're not really disagreeing with each other...at all.

To be fair, he also did not complete that throw.

Agree with this all the way. It's difficult to know to what degree EJ's regression is put squarely on Hackett being unqualified, and in fact whispering constantly in his ear to not make a mistake.

I worded that poorly. He was great at carrying out Ralph's wishes. I just think execution was not always on point. We'll never know because some of the moves, like the Buddy Nix hire, seem like Ralph may have just made the call in his old age.

There's really not a lot left to be said. Unfortunately, they'll retain Hackett.

I didn't. In fact, I explicitly say that it looks bad for everyone involved.

Immortality is one of the many miracles of Saint Doug.

I also don't want these guys to have any more of an influence on EJ. I'd rather pray that there's an offensive shakeup and EJ comes in fresh, without a terrible loss to the Patriots.

That is a terrible trade. Stick to Madden.

Very interesting argument. Unfortunately, I would argue that Brandon wasn't necessarily that great at carrying out Ralph's wishes. To some degree, sure. I'm sure Ralph, in all seriousness and senility, said "Only Marv Levy can come in here and save us." And then Russ did that. I was carrying out orders, sir! It was a Code Red!

I don't know...does Immult sit next to the designers before their deadline? Does he set up an engineers table right next to the engineers? Did he at one point become a de facto engineer? (I checked, and surprisingly - no he has an MBA from Harvard)

It's not. It's actually really simple to understand. Too simple, in fact. That's why I think Russ Brandon is actually an alien.

I am confused. Maybe you should make your argument a little clearer.

Yeah, he had nothing to do with any personnel decisions. They're chatting about concession prices here, on draft day:

Stop it, you're crazy.

Looks like a designed play there... Look closely at Woods and Watkins, and the way they run their route. Their clearly jamming the defender. Orton passes before Watkins is "open".

You're the only person in the world who thinks that's not on the coaches.

EXACTLY! Was Orton bad? Yes, of course. He's awful and I don't want him as the Bills quarterback at all. Why though, does the coaching staff constantly put him in these situations. It's not like there was a gun to Hackett's head that forced him to have his QB throw behind the LOS on 3rd and 1. There's no way I can believe that because the QB is bad that the coaching staff gets a pass. They need to be better situationally and utilize the strengths of their players. Not throw a weird flat pattern to Hogan on 3rd and 1.
