Realist

Ouch, it hurts because its probably true.

I don't think it was the place to ask about Marrone, but I am surprised no one followed up on the Polian "Blown out of proportion" comment.

Like how Ryan kept bringing up the Kelly and Thomas era. He knows that was the last time this team was any good and wants to get back to that level of dominance and knows what they mean to the community.

I thought it was a good question and good answer from Rex. That's all we have been hearing since he was let go that the Falcons and 49ers wanted him. Now the question from Roth just now was stupid. He didn't gloss over Manuel, he told everyone what he thought of the QB position.

and there goes the feed

Guarantee #1 is making the playoffs.

I'm sure a lot of people on this board would hate that too.

Hmmm...maybe we have a great defense because of the players? No, can't be, its the coach, everyone says so.

I'd go like this: 1 O-Line 2 QB 3 RB 4 TE 5 CB I just think if we're going to power running game, we need to upgrade the O-line first, think EJ (or a retread) might be able to handle it for this year until we get someone better in here at QB. Again, if we're going with a power game, I'm not so thrilled with our RB's especially with Freddy getting older.

Disagree there, I think Wood had an off year because of the poor play at Guard.

So many people are complaining about Rex Ryan and losing Schwartz, well there is only one person to blame for this…Doug Marrone. Doug Marrone quitting is the reason we’re losing Schwartz. Doug Marrone thought it would be best to sit on his ass at home and collect his 4 million. That’s how you treat your team/fans after preaching “Finish the Job” to them all year? I don’t think there were any better options or sure things out there than Rex Ryan. He wasn’t my first choice, but he’s no worse than any of the other dozen they brought in and he’s possibly the best of the lot. Ryan has had good defenses his entire career when he’s had the personnel, give him a chance.

Murphy has been saying all morning that the ball is in Schwartz' court. He's been asked to stay and its up to him if he wants to or not. Obviously, if he gets a head coaching opportunity, he is gone, but if not, hopefully he stays.

Thanks Promo! Don't know what everyone expects Whaley to say when EJ is the only !@#$ing QB on the roster. Reading back about EJ over the course of the year since his benching, why wouldn't he talk "glowingly" about him? He's been a great and supportive teammate, by all accounts he has been studying hard and learning how to lead from Orton. I would be going into those interviews saying that to the candidates and also, I think he was handcuffed by Marrone and forced to play not to make mistakes instead of playing freely.

I'm of the belief that it was more Schwartz that got this team to 9-7.

If the Jets do end up hiring Marrone (and I don't think they will), I don't want to charge them with anything...I want to thank them.

Right there is your answer, he was only concerned with getting that winning record so he could tell any future employers "See what I did with the Bills? First winning record in 10 years!"

I would love for him to stay, but there is no way he doesn't get another shot at a HC job next year. After stopping PM and AR, this defense is being noticed big time and Schwartz is a big reason.

Bills 23 Raiders 13

Welcome to the board. Good Luck Sunday. If our offense was even average, Bills would have a decent chance of winning this one...unfortunately they are well below that level. I fear you are correct.

Buffalo's offense can't move the ball, I don't care what the opponents defense is ranked: Pack 27 Bills 16 One TD and 3 field goals, as the offense fails again.

The only one out of that group that I would take and I believe may be available would be Bradford. I even doubt the Rams let him go. Anyone else on that list is no better than Orton and EJ.

I never understood why fans actually root for players on their team to fail. That makes absolutely no sense to me.

Pegula is not the type of owner to make any kind of quick changes. Unless they go winless or only win 1, I fully expect them all to return.

I think the Buffalo v Denver game is going to be ugly.

Week 8 - Bills @ Jets Loss Week 10 - KC @ Buff Win Week 11 - Bills @ Fish Loss Week 12 - Jets @ Bills Win Week 13 - Browns @ Bills Win Week 14 - Bills @ Denver Loss Week 15 - Packers @ Bills Loss Week 16 - Bills @ Oakland Win Week 17 - Bills at NE* Loss
