Whaley is excellent. Listening to him speak, he comes off as a sharp knowledgable and articulate guy. Compared to Marrone who sounds like he got hit in the head too many times. (The guy comes off as pretty stupid for an NFL headcoach) And you got to love him finding guys like Baccari Rambo Marquise Gray Marcus Thigpen and Coltan Schmidt. Now just find us a stud QB from anywhere, and we will be in business. (Bryce Petty anyone?) Did anyone else think it was pretty stupid of Marrone to keep a kickoff specialist, when our kicker Dan Carpenter has one of the strongest legs in the NFL? I think that said everything about Marrone right there. That and sending Robert Woods Mike Williams and Jerry Hughes to the doghouse for no reason whatsoever.

Kellen Moore is a winner. Plain and simple. Problem is the guy is SMALL! I would try and get Bradford and than Sanchez. And if Moore is available, go after him also. We also need to draft someone like a Bryce Petty from Baylor. The guy is a baller. We go into training camp w Bradford or Sanchez, Moore, Manuel and a rookie such as Petty, and we should be able to come out w someone decent to start. If EJ does not win the starting job, get rid of him. We can win w Bradford Sanchez or Moore, if we improve the O line. They are horrendous. We do not have a NFL starter at guard on the team. And Wood has just gotten worse and worse. Seriously, get rid of Urbik, Wood and Pears. Move Sheantrell to left tackle. He played much better there in the summer. And move Glenn to guard. Bring in a center, two guards and a tackle and let them all fight it out for starting spots. But my goodness, the interior of our line is god awful. And Wood is as bad as any of them.

We need two guards and a TE in free agency. Pears and Urbik are bad to horrible on a weekly basis. I would get rid of Orton and bring in a veteran in free agency, and draft someone w potential both to compete w EJ. If EJ continues to suck we should just cut him. On Defense Dareus will be a Bill for life. Searcy is becoming a top notch player. He will be resigned giving us a very nice group at safety w Duke Aaron and Rambo, who can play. He was a stud at Georgia. Great find by Whaley. Hughes would be nice to keep. But he is suspect against the run, and we still have Wynn and Lawson. We could probably also find someone cheaper in free agency, or in the draft. Spiller is a nice luxury who does not have a lot of mileage. But I would not break the bank on any RB. We get the O line upgraded and Bryce Brown will do just fine. I would keep Spikes at a reasonable price as well. He is a winner, and plays w anger and great spirit. In summary, the O has been awful most of the year. We need upgrades at QB O line and TE. From there we try and keep as much of the D together as financially possible. I would sacrifice Jerry Hughes and Spiller for the offensive pieces we so desperately need.

I completely agree. Besides the Jets games, and the last drive against Minnesota, Orton has been terrible. He has not completed one deep pass all season. (I don't think he has even given our receivers a chance on any of his deep throws) He has ZERO mobility, and plays w no inspiration. I hope the Bills part ways w him when the season is over. Management would have to be absolutely brain dead to not see what all us fans have seen from Orton. I believe there will be major changes at the QB position for next season. If Sanchez is available, that would be a start. An avg to above avg QB w Woods Sammy and 7/11 to throw to, and adding a big red zone threat, and this team will be so sweet on both sides of the ball.

Adam Schein sums it up pretty well. We NEED an NFL QB on our roster. Right now, I am not sure we have one. Orton looked horrible this week. And seems to have lost any feel for giving our receivers even a chance at catching the deep ball. The last throw to Sammy wasn't even close. I honestly think that we would be a better offense at this point if we brought EJ in next week at Oakland. At least he can run. Orton missed Fred on those two screens early in the game. And than Woods over the middle late when noone was around him. My 11 yr old can make that throw everytime. Orton stinks, and plays w absolutely no passion. Whaley and Marrone's job in the offseason is to find two guys who can throw to compete for the starting job. Draft someone like Bryce Petty, and bring in a veteran. Heck, I think Charlie Whitehurst was throwing the ball better for Tennessee yesterday than Orton has in the past month. We need to improve the O line also. What a regression for Cordy Glenn. He plays w zero passion and looks completely disinterested. Put Seantrel at LT and bring in another tackle or maybe Kuanjuo will be ready at rt tackle. And bring in two guards. We have an owner w bucks now. Upgrade the O line, (Pears and Urbik syanora. And take Cordy w you) bring in a QB who is at least average to above. And this team will be in the mix for a championship next year. And as an aside. Noone brings in guys who contribute at the bottom of the roster like Whaley. How sweet have Maquise Gray, Bacari Rambo and Marcus Thigpen looked? Wow!! way to go DW...

Look at Pettine's record in Cleveland. They came back in the last minute in Atlanta, and our now 7-4. Seriously, if we lose to the Jets and than the Browns w Pettine next week, they might fire Marrone after the game...Like they should.

You are absolutely correct. The coaching is terrible on this team. Marrone coaches scared from the opening kickoff every week. And that has rubbed off on the team. We have no swag whatsoever....We don't have great quarterbacking, but the team has gotten worse as the season has progressed. In fact, the team has gotten steadily worse on offense over the entire Marrone era. We are a completely dink and dunk offense. That will not win in the NFL. The Dolphins figured it out real quick. The Jets will do the same. Anybody can coach a dink and dunk offense. It takes absolutely no creativity. Marrone is a knuckle head who would have trouble coming up w a creative offense for a HS team. If we can't get to at least 8-8 he should absolutely get fired. No reason we should not beat the Jets Browns and Raiders. But if we lose to the Jets, and the offense doesn't show up, it will start getting ugly. The players have no loyalty to Marrone, because he hasn't led them anywhere. And he coaches not to lose. A Williams already called out Marrone for that. The players all know what an NFL head coach should be about. They have all played ball their entire lives. Marrone is not that. Again it will get ugly if we lose tom nite. And it should, because 5-5 will become 6-10 real fast. And at that point, the entire organization should be canned. Starting w Russ Brandon. His stench continues to stain this organization thru Whaley Marrone and Hackett... I think my son's varsity football coach in Metro Atlanta could outcoach Marrone.

I agree corner blitz. The Bills offense is retched. It is a dink and dunk bunch of nonsense. Today's NFL is a downfield passing game. Most teams do not even throw the 5-10 yard dumpoffs. Watching Tennessee v Pittsburgh last nite. The Titans had some good play calls for Mettenberger. He looked fairly comfortable, and was throwing most of his passes at least 15 yards down the field. And as for Big Ben, he is always letting it rip down the field. As they said on the NFL Network, you can not score Touchdowns taking 10-15 play drives. Too many chances to make a mistake. You have to get chunks of yardage. I think EJ has not had a real offensive coach since coming into the league. Yes, his accuracy is poor. But I would like to see him w a coach who has a clue about offense. Right now I don't think there is a worse offensive coaching staff in the league than Marrone and company. With a good offensive game plan (and that includes using Mike Williams as more than a cheerleader) we can definitely win w Orton, and quite possibly w EJ. Hopefully, Whaley and Pegula are watching this mess unfold on the field, that has become our offense. And will take the measures necessary to turn things around. We don't need a first round pick. We need an NFL head coach more than anything. Marrone is running an offense from the 1970's. What a joke.

I agree w your assessment of Marrone. He does have our team ready to play. But than screws things up w his very questionable game day decisions. His overall football intellect seems a bit too simplistic, as can be seen in the redundant play calling and formations we use on offense. (and going 5 wide when we were 1st and 10 on the 15 late in Sunday's game is a headscratcher to me) Your previous post about Malzahn coming to Buffalo from Auburn is interesting. My girlfriend's daughter goes to Auburn, so we watch all of their games on TV. He is an offensive genius, who is totally involved w all aspects of the game. He has a completely different demeanor than stone faced Marrone. I would be shocked if he was willing to leave one of the Mecca's of college football for an NFL team that has not made the playoffs since the 20th century ended. And have you heard him speak? The guy has marbles in his mouth. It would take a little while for people to understand him. (Sully would be annoyed) That being said, his football acumen is miles and miles ahead of Doug Marrone's. Go Bills and War Eagle.

I don't agree with a lot of what you post. But I am in agreement w you here Biscuit. This team has 90 sacks since Marrone took over as head coach. That has got to be in the top 3, if not number 1 in the league over that period. Yet our record is a lousy 11-14. That tells me that the offense is not producing, and the coaching staff is not getting nearly enuf out of the talent that we have. I think Marrone stays if we get to 9 wins, and that means beating Miami, Jets, Cleveland and Oakland, and competing hard again Green Bay, NE and Denver. But the 9-7 record still does not put us w the upper echelon teams. And with as good a defense as we have, that really is not a great record. More importantly, does anyone on here think that Marrone has the coaching skill to take us to the next level? I think he is way too conservative in his game management, and has grudges against certain players for no apparent reason which is holding back the team. (see Mike Williams) I personally would be happy to see Marrone be canned w Hackett, and Schwartz be given the head coaching job, especially if he can bring in a top notch O Coordinator. I never hear any of the players talking up Marrone, like he is any sort of genius, great leader, or a great guy to play for. Tonite's game is the benchmark game in the Marrone era in my opinion. If we come out w a solid creative gameplan, and play aggressive and smart throughout, we should win the game. Orton is better than Tannehill, and has to show that tonite. But the team needs to look prepared and motivated. Taking a bunch of penalties, punting on 4th and 1 from the Miami 45, looking lackadaisical and uninspired on National TV. And it will be the downfall of Marrone.

Exactly... If the Bills can fix the O line to just average, Orton will light it up all season. He throws as good an intermediate ball as anyone in the league when given time. The throw to Chandler on 4th and 20 was a thing of beauty. And than to keep firing to Sammy Hogan and than Sammy for the TD, are you kidding me? That was frikin AWESOME!! I haven't seen that from a Bills QB in a long time. Orton has a lot of game, and plays w confidence. This is the chance he has been waiting for. Get some O lineman who can move their feet, and we will compete every week. And btw, Orton knows what it takes to win. Sure he will turn it over, but so does every QB. The good ones keep making plays, regardless of their mistakes. They know its last man standing that wins each week. Doesn't matter how it looks getting there.

You are REALLY stupid. Did you seriously not watch the game? Orton was bringing it the entire game. The guy is a gunslinger. He made one poor throw that was picked. All QB's do that. On the fumble, Cordy Glenn was pathetic. We have not had a QB make the throws that Orton was making to all our receivers since Flutie, and Bledsoe for about two or three starts. EJ is AFRAID to throw it down the seem. At least w Orton we have a chance to move the football on every drive. My goodness, turnovers happen in a game. No risk, no reward. You give Orton some time to throw, and some decent playcalling, and we will be moving the football all season. The receivers did not want to play w EJ. They all get that EJ has no game. You should too. Watch the game again. Orton did not lose the game. With any kind of second half D, we have a great chance of winning this game. And that was all because of Orton leading the Offense.

Orton is the best QB we have had since Flutie. He throws the ball w purpose. We can win w him. The problem is the O line is a train wreck. They get absolutely no push on the run and are slow and unathletic w their pass blocking. The play calling has no creativity or rhythm. Noone runs up the middle on 2 and 11 after running the same play on 1st and 10. We waste more downs w running up the middle than any team in football. On Defense our outside corners of McKelvin and Gilmore have horrible technique. And are constantly torched. Duke should not be playing on an NFL defense. He is a special teamer and nothing more. The back seven have no cover skills, and when r pass rush is not clicking, we are done. Happened against Rivers when he had time, and against Brady the entire game. Ironic, that the run defense is off the charts. Spikes and Bradham are tremendous playing downhill. Really miss Kiko and Bryan Scott because other than A Williams we have noone who can make plays in space on D. Coaching staff is nowhere near good enuf to gameplan in a way to mask our weaknesses, and pressure the opponent on both sides of the ball. Giving up 37 points at home in a very important game is unacceptable. Head coach takes the blame for that. Bottom line, Marrone is not changing the culture of losing on the Bills. He coaches more not to lose, than to win. Not instilling confidence in his players. Get Orton a decent O line, and a coach who can game plan an offense, and he will lead us into the playoffs. Without a first round pick next year, we have to build around Orton. Sign some solid O lineman, CB's and a cover LB. Draft the best TE and S in the second and 3rd rounds and this team will be on its way.

I don't know if EJ is soft. But football is a physical game. And EJ runs like he doesn't want any part of being hit. And that is pathetic for a man that is 6'5 240 pounds. He has not taken on one single defender on any scramble in the four games we have played. His teammates see this. They get pounded, and he just looks to get out of bounds. That is not a winner. Thats a coward. Combine that w his horrible accuracy, zero feel for the QB position, and zero intensity on the field, and you have one hell of QB-NOT!! If Orton plays reasonably well and stays healthy, we have seen the last of EJ leading the Bills. (We can only hope)

Ur just STUPID. EJ was terrible yesterday. What were you watching? He plays w absolutely no confidence in his game. His accuracy is terrible and he is afraid to run. Every QB gets pressure, that's why its not practice. The gunfire is live. And playing on the road is not supposed to be easy. That's why QB's get paid the big bucks. The rest of the offense knows EJ is not an NFL QB. He has brought the team down. Stopped defending the indefensible. A change has to be made at QB. I think you will see a mutiny on the team otherwise.
