I am not hanging on anything. I am stating a fact.

How? Do you deny the offense was scaled back? It's irrelevant because I don't care and it's not what I'm talking about. One poster thought I was "wildly speculating" and I clearly was not. Marrone scaled back the offense. Period. I don't care if Jay Cutler one time had his offense scaled back too, it's irrelevant.

I said, "the offense." Not, EJ couldn't read the field. Not, EJ couldn't remember his plays. However, with all that being said, you don't "scale back" something that is going well.

I do enjoy a good strawman Gug. That may very well be true, I think I did read something like that. It's irrelevant though.

So wild. http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2013/12/9/5191390/buffalo-bills-to-scale-back-offense-for-ej-manuel Following an abysmal performance in Tampa Bay, Buffalo Bills head coach Doug Marrone told reporters on Sunday afternoon that he plans on scaling back his offense a bit for beleaguered starting quarterback EJ Manuel. "We've been giving him more and more, and now it's a point where you have to re-evaluate that," Marrone said Sunday. "We've been going fast with his progression, and now we just have to look at it and get him started again. And it's not starting over, don't get me wrong. We have to look to see what we can do, and probably cut down what we're doing."

Link to where Fred said anything about Marrone developing players?

Good one.

My bar is if Lebron forces game seven while breaking the record for points in a playoff game. So, 70. Even though the record is only 63.

Marrone took plays out of the playbook because EJ couldn't grasp the offense. Anywho, what's EJ gonna say? Marrone tried to develop me but I just stink too much? He may, like many, know it's just easier to blame the guy who is no longer around.

Wilson was a good QB since he's been in the NFL.

What? Jon Snow is the typical hero of a fantasy story. His plotlines play on the same themes over and over. He is Ned with a head. Building off of your point, I think that's why Lady Stoneheart never appeared. To have a third undead/revived character would make it obvious that a non-beheaded Jon Snow can and will come back. But Michelle Fairley would've been awesome vengeful mother zombie.

If the Bills continue their model of drafting quality starting caliber LB's and trading them for 26 year old All-Pro skill position players, we'll win the next ten Superbowls.

I find it utterly implausible that this staff hasn't said anything to EJ about the job. Especially when they've been all over the map to the media. Rex Ryan, the coach infamous for wearing his heart on his sleeve for his players, is resorting to comments in the media, that EJ might never even hear, to communicate to his player? I don't buy it.

What do you think Whaley/Rex tell EJ behind closed doors?

No. Win or nothing, IMO. Unless he drops 70.

Me neither.

Chef Curry delivering.

This topic?

I almost can't believe the Bills are the first team to try to win games like this.

I was trying to not spoil, just in case. FTW = For the Watch = you know.

So it is FTW. Nice.

FTW tonight?

I don't know how much a new "trend" it is to have a great defense and great running game; thus, win more games. The Bengals and their ilk want both of those things as well.

So would Caitlyn's.

9-7.
