White Linen

Could you imagine the same scenario but leaving Marrone in a learch? Now we have Marrone, Hackett and some LB coach from a donkey team that Doug knows as our DC.

I agree totally. If our defense were to perform like it did last year under Schwartz he'd most assuredly be up for head coaching jobs. I can't imagine being happy with Marrone as head coach without Schwartz. To me that's what most fans should focus on instead of just losing Schwartz alone. Great job by the Pegula's to take the opportunity Marrone gave them by getting a sure fire head coach.

If Schwartz had one more year like last year IMO he'd be up for head coaching jobs and we'd lose him anyway. I just didn't see a way Schwartz stays around for 5 years, so I'd rather have Rex Ryan than be left with Marrone as head coach without Schwartz.

Yes and that 4th down lineman would be Hughes or if they get a 5 technique as you suggest it would effect either Kyle or Marcell. So that leaves 3 linebacker spots. My point is you would need Spikes on running downs to shed blocks and sniff out the run. I think Preston could serve in that role but I think Spikes is better suited for it with Kiko and Nigel on the either side of him. I just don't think Nigel, Brown, and Kiko would be fighting for 2 spots, they'd be playing a lot and if Spikes is retained he'd serve in the same role as last season. In otherwords I don't think Mario will be a LB he'd be identified as one of the down lineman, although I do think he may be asked in certain alignments to drop back but then Hughes would be down with 3 LB's on the field.

JFF = Johnny Flag Football?

This doesn't make sense to me. Mario and Hughes are both linebackers and wouldn't be one of the 3 down linemen? If they do find a 5 technique I believe that bumps Kyle not turns Marion into a full time linebacker. I think Spikes would clearly have a role manning the middle on this team.

Look at the dude in the grey suit running after him. "I'm coming boss".

I'm not sure Schwartz follows Marrone.

You'll always give up more points when your offense doesn't score or move the ball. In other words maybe including time of possession or number of possessions with each of these years would be a better indication and could also make the yardage allowed look unreal.

By splash do you mean belly flop?

This video isn't the reason I feel this way but I'm extremely happy to have Rex. No doubt he has a presence and the culture is going to change for real this time.

I do not like this and at least for the time being I don't think the players will either.

I heard Marrone will be his QB coach.

I think with an excellent QB Rex would do some real good things.

For me it's simple. IMO we upgraded at head coach and it's hard to say that's a bad thing.

It's the greatest idea I've ever heard.

I always thought they wanted great weather and a big city to party?

I'm surprised to see you say this. I think clearly Fox is the better coach. Carolina fans are stupid, but for me it's because they want people like Fox and Newton gone. Ridiculous!

#3 - Like who?

I don't know about that. I think it's close but to say we would be far and away better than Seattle if we had their offense is a stretch.

Why did he email them? Sounds a little like that he was kind of begging for something and then they went way over the top. Definitely a cool story but to me a bit bizarre that he would contact public relations to just say hey I'm a life long fan and am planning to come to a game, just wanted to let you know.

Do we really believe as the AP states that Bills Officials including the Pegula's interviewed Mike Shanahan - to take on the GM type role while Whaley is sitting there? Then the Raiders interviewed Mike Shanahan for just their coaching job? This is why reading most of what Tim Graham tweets is not a good idea.

I agree. I'd be thinking in the 2 year 5.75 mil range. Do you think that would be enough to keep him and be good numbers for Buffalo?

I love the way you put that!
