I say we go all in on getting AP. Dude runs with reckless abandon! That's the kind of ground and pound attitude we need!

Considering Revis only signed a one year deal with New England and the Pats don't seem to like to tie players up in high money long term contracts, there is a good chance Revis will leave the Pats. Given that he excelled in Rex's defense, I think there is a chance we go after him.
With the hiring of Rex, I think Hughes is much more likely to walk. Hughes was traded to us from Indianapolis laregly because he did not excel in the Colts 3-4 scheme. Now Rex is converting the Bills to a 3-4. Also, Mario Williams did not like Wade Philips 3-4 in Houston.

While I was a Marrone supporter, I am now thankful he left.

My prediction: There will be no more treating EJ Manuel like he is a fragile piece of glass. He is going to be asked to run the ball in the read option even if that means taking hits.
My bolder prediction: The Bills will trade next yer's first round pick and this years 2nd round pick to trade up and take a QB.
Manuel and the new guy will compete for the job.

GM pushing his 1st round bust on potential head coaching candidates. That always works out well. I'd say thanks but no thanks and run far away. From the "glowing terms" Whaley is using to describe EJ because let's just forget they signed Orton late and benched EJ after 4 games just a few months ago, it sounds like they won't be looking for any competition for EJ either. Back to square one, broken record and so on.
I hope I'm wrong but you took the words right out of my mouth.

I don't see Schwartz leaving unless he gets a head coaching offer. He has one of the best DC jobs in the league.
-
Lets hope so. I was never a fan of his.will HACKETT become the next OC in Jestes land?
-
Haha, true! We'd be guaranteed a Monday Night.and if, for some strange reason,the Bills hire Rex!? THAT ame soudl be on prme time

If the Jets hire Marrone, which is looking more likely by the day, this could turn into an epic rivalry. Unfortunately, I was a defender of Marrone and thought and think he was and is a good coach, so I'm pissed to see him go. I do think, as various reports are surfacing, that the fan negativity played a role in his departure. He wants to stick it to Buffalo now. He knows our personell extremely well obviously. Though I wish we had embraced him and he was still around, I hope we make the right hire and can find a way to smash him.

Idiot fans wanted Marrone gone. The man was a good coach. Can't stand stupid fans. Now he walks and half the league wants him. Complete and utter moron fans.

I went to Indiana University which is where James Hardy played college ball. The guy was a total animal for IU despite playing against teams that were better than his team (Indiana is a weak team in the big ten). He certainly had the physical tools to succeed but I just think he had too much mental stuff going on to focus on and develop his game.
Terry Hoepner, who was the head coach at IU when Hardy was there, told James, "There are only a few people in the world that can make some of the catches you can make." Hardy was hesitant to believe him because he thought he was just blowing steam up his butt. Hardy said something like, "Don't play with me, I've been lied to too much. I don't want you telling me lies about my ability and then I believe them and am let down." Hoeppner replied, " I'm not lying. I'm serious."
Hardy originally went to Indiana to play basketball and was pretty good. He was a 4-star basketball recruit coming out of high school. The football team started recruiting him though once he got on campus and he felt his odds of going pro were better in football so he went the football route.

Marrone is a good coach. I'm glad he is staying the course. I think we have a good chance of making the playoffs with him. Stop being stupid.
-
Bunch of idiots on this board it seems sometimes. The only QB with a winning record since the Flutie-Johnson era and you guys are chasing him out of town.
Thanks Kyle. Wish you were sticking around.
-
Cutler's personality is an absolute poison. He has ruined every coach and OC he has touched. I'd be really cautious about this one.
-
No. Green Bay fans are not complaining about #12. As bad as hs played he made throws we don't see from any b-lo QBs since kelly.
Orton was garbage again today and did just enough to let the his team win the game for him.
Actually they are complaining about #12. One half of my family are Packer fans and I'm seeing FB posts like, "Didn't Aaron Rodgers tell us to "relax" at the beginning of the year. He's going to eat his words!" It just shows it's all relative.
-
Uh no it doesn't. With Orton the Bills have beat Detroit, the Jets twice who are awful, Minnesota at home vs a rookie QB making his first road start, Cleveland who was obviously not as good as their record, and Green Bay today which the Bills won in spite of Orton. Which of those other games did Orton make a positive impact on and factor in the outcome? Detroit and maybe Minnesota.
With Orton the Bills lost 4 big games two of which were at home. The NE game was a total team loss so I won't hang that on Orton but Chiefs at home and Miami on the road were winnable games with better QB play.
If Ortons play was a result of the defenses he faced then why wasn't he better today vs one of the worst pass defenses in the league?
Like I said listing out the rankings of the defenses the Bills have faced and using it as an excuse for his poor play is extremely weak.
Have you heard of a river in Egypt?
I will not try to have a debate with somebody who cannot see their own biases and logical fallacies.

I have never said this before.."Worst post ever".
I've never said this. Worst poster ever.
I'm not about to defend Orton's game today. Abysmal. Don't get caught up in one game though fellas.
He's 40-38 as a starter in the NFL and 6-4 with the Bills. As I said, certainly not premiere, but you can win some games with him. Now I'll let the less than intelligent posters focus in on one game.

Orton>Fitz>everyone else we can get. Fixed.
Thank you.
Fitz had moxie. Swagger. Pride. He put it all on the line. If we had kept him here we would have won a game or maybe two more this year.
I am not a Fitz hater. The man did put it on the line. However, he threw a lot of picks too. He also had a weaker arm and had to do the longest wind up in the NFL to make up for it. His size hurt him as well. Orton has nearly prototypical size at 6' 4" 230. I'll take Orton.

How many Bills games have you watched this year or are you just looking up stats and basing ur opinion on what you read the next day instead of actually watching him play.
If Orton can win in Buffalo then why isn't he? This team is good enough to be in the playoffs but won't be and a lot of that had to do with Orton and before him EJ.
The playing a lot of top defenses excuse is just weak, there are 32 teams in the league and odds are you are going to have to play more than a couple in the top half of defenses. This isn't college.
Firstly, to answer your question, I have watched every game and every play of the year. Secondly, he is winning in Buffalo. He's 5-4. Name the last Bills QB who had a record over .500.
Thirdly, he heas faced far more than his share of top defenses. No this is not a weak excuse. These are the defenses he's faced and their corresponding defensive rank.
#2 - Lions
#4 - Broncos
#6 - Miami
#7 - New York
#8 - Kansas City
#12 - Minnesota
#13 - New England
#20 - Cleveland
That is freaking brutal.
I think that takes care of all your points.

Over time and as the sample size increases, I think we will see that Orton is the type to win you one, lose you one, win you one, lose you one, and so on.
It's not good enough. Though I agree he need not be "run out of town".
He's not a viable solution as a starting QB however, particularly as this stage of his career.
I agree that he is not the ultimate answer at quarterback. He is not a premiere QB. He is pretty good. After going through years of JP Losman and Trent Edwards, be careful what you wish for. This guy can move the ball and distribute to playmakers at least. He's only 31. Keep him around until we legitimately have a franchise guy.

The story of Kyle Orton's career is he is a pretty good player, however, for some reason, nobody wants him. This trend has continued in Buffalo with Bills fans. I live in Indiana which is where Purdue University is (Orton's alma mater). My two brothers and sister-in-law went to school there when Orton was the quarterback. Because of this, I have followed his career more closely than most. Firstly, I want to dismiss the idea that I am biased toward Orton for this reason. I actually despise Purdue. I went to Indiana University out of high school and Purdue is our rival.
Orton followed Drew Brees at Purdue and was a very good college QB. However, because he followed Brees he was underappreciated even at Purdue. Orton was drafted by the Bears in the early 4th round. He started 15 games as a rookie and won 10. Yes, I know, the Bears defense was great then. However, he was a rookie, came in and made good decisions as a game manager and did what was necessary to win games. They benched him 2 games before the playoffs began in favor of Rex Grossman who was coming off injury. The Bears lost their first game in the postseason with Grossman at the helm. Orton saw zero game action the next year placed on the third string behind Grossman and Griese.
In his third year with the Bears, with three games left, he was given the starting role again finally. He went 2-1 in the final three games.
In his 4th year with the Bears, he entered the season competing against Grossman for the starting role. He won the starting role. He went 8-7 as a starter, missing one game for injury. They missed the playoffs by one game.
After this year, he was expecting to come back to the starting role he left in Chicago. He was traded to Denver for Cutler.
In his first year with Denver (2009-2010), he went 8-8 with pretty good statistics. In his 2nd year, he started 13 games. Their record was not good, however his statistics were pretty good. He had an 87.5 passer rating for the year. The Broncos coach was fired midseaon and Tebowmania began when he had a poor game late in the season. The interim coach benched Orton in favor of Tebow for the final three games. In his third year, he started poorly and the chants for Tebow immediately reached a fever pitch. He went 1-4 as starter this year with a 75.4 rating. He ended up with 49 touchdowns, 28 interceptions and almost 5,000 yards in 2.5 season with the Broncos. He was cut by the Broncos.
The Chiefs claimed him off waivers. Two other teams tried to claim him but the Chiefs had the worst record. With three games to go in the season, Orton was named the starter. In hist 1st game, he beat the then undefeated Packers in weak 15 of the NFL season. He went 2-1 as a starter for the Chiefs. The Chiefs didn't resign him.
He has been backing up Tony Romo (a yearly pro bowler) in the previous two years. In the limited time he has had to come in for Romo he has performed. Dallas knew he had value and really wanted to keep him as backup to Romo. However, clearly he did not want to stay and back up Romo.
He is now in Buffalo. He has a QB rating of 89.2 despite playing a disproportionate number of highly ranked defenses. He has over 2,300 yards and a 2-1 TD-Interception ration. Sadly, the story of Orton's career continues in Buffalo. Orton performs pretty well but is not wanted. Is he a tier one franchise QB? Of course not. However, I think Buffalo (like everywhere else) is not appreciating Orton for what he is. Orton can win in Buffalo. Don't run him out of town.
-
I definitely want him resigned but it seems for every sack he has, he also has a penalty that costs us significantly. I bet this comes up at the negotiating table.
-
I'm taking this as a compliment. We must really be good if we get bashed when we don't win in a certain manner.
If I had the time, I would love to document all of the claims and opinions of Jerry Sullivan throughout the year or even over a five year period.
Then at the end of it, use exact quotes of to show his massive contradictions in opinions over time. The man would lose all credibility if someone did this and put it in a simple document.
I judge a man by his character and how he has impacted others. By the impact standards, Jerry is a bad person.
-
Get him. I'm dead serious. If there is a reasonable chance he can become a franchise QB with a fresh start, then get him. Period. Get it done. I like Orton too. I still think EJ has a chance. However, you must maximize your chances at getting a long term answer when it presents itself.
Have we talked about Buffalo being one of worst sports logos

I actually like our logo quite a bit. Both the standing buffalo and the charging one.
