Wayne Arnold

lol yeah good luck with that.

When a player goes from very poor to very poor, does it matter if he technically "regressed" or not? Bottom line: it's not good enough.

His experience and exposure to many different offensive systems, his success as an NFL offensive coordinator, his performance as head coach in his one season for the Raiders, how he conducts himself in interviews, his intensity/energy, and praise from coaches and players who have worked with him over the years. I don't do gut feelings.

Stats can be extremely misleading. He's been painfully slow with his reads and misfires on short-to-medium passes way too often. Hope he can turn it around but judging the first two games alone, he has regressed.

This season is a throw-away. They're tanking for picks. Talk to me in two years.

Seeing too many fluff words in this thread Identity Foundation Workable management system Culture It's all a bunch of crap. Have a good quarterback, creative schemes and game plans, make smart coaching decisions based on statistical analysis, and you'll win. Period. All of those fancy fluff words come AFTER the wins. Not before. Those are the end result of success, not the cause.

Is this a joke?

Marrone is also unintelligent, had no concept of statistical analysis and was incapable of making smart decisions quickly. Besides that he was great (sarcasm).

Gailey is an excellent football mind but doesn't quite have what it takes to be a successful head coach. There's something missing there. Not sure he commands respect from all of the players. Too nice, maybe? For example, his post-game locker room speeches always felt awkward.

Yep. If the Pegula's had listened to me and just hired Hue Jackson as HC and kept Schwartz as the DC then we wouldn't be in this clusterf. That said, I do think there's a chance this can be turned around.

Because they're in the same division as the Patriots and...because Buffalo.

They're just waiting for Michigan to win the national championship so they can welcome back Jim Harbaugh to turn the franchise around.

Many Bills fans were clamoring for Seattle's offensive coordinator to be our head coach two years ago. Just goes to show - all football coaches suck except for Belichick.

Todd Haley stinks and Josh McDaniels will NEVER leave Belichick/Brady for Buffalo. Ever.

They were either traded or got second contracts because teams thought they were good. Lesson: they fooled teams into thinking they were better than they were because of the team they were playing for. Amazing that I have to even explain it.

My eyes aren't quite what they used to be but I still don't see "amazing success" in that quote.

When did I ever say "amazing success with the Pats"?

Why do you think we fired our offensive coordinator after the second game?

lol Garappolo is just another Patriots quarterback who looks great in Belichick's NE system but will suck everywhere else he goes. (Hoyer, Cassel, Mallett, Garappolo, etc.)

Just tell me Lynn thinks crowding the LOS/pocket on 3rd and inches and running up the gut is stupid and I'm all in.

Sully is a talented guy but he doesn't even remotely write the truth. And he knows it. Not saying Roman deserved to be fired but I'm also not saying he didn't deserve to be fired. Sounds like the Pegula's did their due diligence by interviewing players one-on-one. And it sounds like the players on offense weren't thrilled with how they were being coached. Therefore the Pegula's were fully on board with Rex's decision as they should have been. You can be against this move all you want but it was obvious that Roman's offense had many flaws (Sammy not being involved enough, for one). And it regressed horribly from last year in the first two games. Not to mention Roman's play-calling was a huge weakness. The wasted timeout and 4th and inches play call midway through the 4th quarter was a fireable offense in and of itself. Add in the fact that the players preferred a change in direction on that side of the ball and I'm fully on board with the move. And if it doesn't work out then the entire staff will be let go at the end of the season anyway. I seriously can't see why anyone would be upset by this.

I'm very skeptical of that report. Something likely got lost in translation.

One could say the cluster of idiocy midway through the 4th quarter on the Jets 45 down 24-30 lost the game last night. Manuel sneak on 3rd and inches? Okay, didn't work. Let's have Manuel trick them to jump offsides! If it doesn't work we'll just waste a timeout that may be extremely valuable later in the game. Okay, timeout is over. Let's bunch everyone up - no wideouts, everyone get together on 4th and 1. Hand it off up the middle right into ALL of the big bodies and directly at the strength of the Jets defense which has given us trouble all night. Go! (Stuffed) That was absolutely a fireable offense.

The next one to be fired if things don't turn around.

I can explain firing Roman: he's a meathead who runs a scheme from the Stone Age who last night wasted a (very valuable) timeout in the 2nd half trying to trick the Jets then on 4th and 1 proceeded to crowd the middle of the line and run it straight at the strength of the Jets defense. That alone warrants being fired.
