When we eventually relocate...that will leave a mark.
-

Makes a ton of sense from the Bills' standpoint, which obviously means it won't happen.
-
On the bright side we have the 9th pick in the draft, a top pick in the NHL draft, an owner who loved his team and lived a good life, a HOF QB who is getting the best treatment, we signed some great free agents, EJ had surgery to fix his knee problem and the cold weather may be breaking into warmth. Welcome April.
Errmmmm...no. Remember where you are, Jerome. This is Buffalo. Or, more appropriately, BuffaLOL.

I think the point is - if you are a 3-4 team hire a 3-4 coach, and vica versa.
Post #37 and we finally have a winner! Reading is fundamental folks.

I'm gonna say that we are better with Schwartz. And for the first time since Ted Cottrell, we will stop the run. Who won't be happy with that? Oh and the Schwartz will be leaving for another HC job.
What are you basing this on? Here's a tip: go look up the Titans' defensive rankings during Schwartz's tenure sans Albert Haynesworth, then delete your post and try again.

If EJ hadn't gotten injured, the Bills would have been in the hunt. You can't have it whatever way is convenient for you.
The drop off from RG3 to Cousins is significantly steeper than that from Manuel to Thad, no?
-
What is EJ's 'swag' rating on Madden?
-
If not for Griffin's catastrophic injury history the Skins would likely have been in the hunt again this season. Shanahan's fortunes were altered more by his inability to protect his greatest asset than by the decision to draft 2 qb's. For what it's worth I would put Cousins and Manuel on the same level at this point, and Cousins was a day 2 pick.

I am not sure how you draw this conclusion from that article. It sounds like a lot of "coach speak" to me, along with a reporter lapping it up.
Based on what?
Based on the futility of the Bills.
-
Yes, because if there's ever a franchise that deserves the benefit of the doubt, it's the Buffalo Bills.
-
The only other guy with a similar scheme is coaching the Jets, or you could have had Jim O'Neil, who has worked under Pettine but never been a DC or called plays. Unfortunately, we needed a DC with experience running that side of the ball because Marrone is an offensive head coach. Need to deal with reality - not fault the Bills for not being able to clone Pettine. Also, his scheme was not perfect.
Are you suggesting we couldn't have hired a DC that runs a base 3-4? You know, as opposed to running a 4 man front that neutralizes the impact of two of the defense's best performers last year in Lawson and Hughes.
-
It seems lick it, but two be honest, eye wasn't really peying attention.
Great joke! Keep em comin
-
Sure. I want a 4-3 coach to run a 3-4 he possibly knows absolutely nothing about. Why? Cause that'll give us fans something to B word about for another decade or so.
Oh, wait. We'll find something else I'm sure.
Finally enjoy a modicum of success on defense, turn around and hire a replacement that runs a completely different scheme after having already changed schemes each year for the past 4 seasons, sounds legit.
How much of a grasp of the previous scheme do you have? How much of a grasp of the new scheme do you have? I am sorry, but you are bringing more emotion than critical thinking to these types of discussions. You act like these NFL defenses are so alien to each other. Ask yourself how players can possibly grasp playing a 3-4, then a 3-3 nickel on second down, then a dime package with a safety in the box, then back to a base look with RE a step wider than the previous first down with the NT 2 gapping inside? It's not the big deal you want to make it out to be. Just look at all the sub-packages that every DC uses from one play to the next. There comes a point when even young players have done it all, it's more of a matter of terminology. The same goes for offense. Try to relax about it. I doubt the players are sweating it.
Thanks for taking the time out to respond with your literary essay; unfortunately I read none of it.

Shocking a new DC would bring in his own scheme
What's next Duff's wings at the Ralph?
Changing schemes on a yearly basis sounds like a good recipe for success, as evidenced by the recent history of the franchise.

Been a tough week for sure, the Kelly thing has rattled me as a person and a lifelong WNYer. He's a first ballot all-time Buffalonian from a short list of contenders. A guy who never wanted to be here turns out to be one of us and has stayed here with us, battling with us, with the kind of pride for this place that few exhibit. His legacy as player, man, and fellow "neighbor" is unquestioned and his bond to the region is unbreakable.
But Wilson's legacy is really tied to this statement. I for one believe his legacy is inextricably linked to what his will says about the future plans for the team. One paper his family stands to make hundreds of millions from the initial $25,000 investment off the backs of taxpayers and loyal fans. If his family seeks maximum return, which is their right, with zero safeguards or plans in place, his legacy frankly takes a hit and all the talk about keeping them here when he was alive turns out to be lip service in the end. I wholeheartedly appreciate his faith in the region when has alive. He's a true old-fashioned passionate football owner, unlike these brazen, greedy corporate types like Dan Snyder. In the end if he allows his family to make a few million more (on top of hundreds of millions in pure equity), that's problematic for me. Might not be for all but it will be for me. We as taxpayers have helped make those millions. We've provide the operational capital to build, own and maintain the stadium. That doesn't entitle us to dictate much, but it should leave some consideration of that fact when it comes time to sell this team. Here's hoping the greatest owner this region has had cements that legacy.
RIP Ralph, you'll be missed.
Agreed 100%
Sell out every home game.
So if we sell out every home game, the Bills will no longer be in danger of relocating?
-
So...who's going to be the Bills' backup this year?
-
The clock to year 7 of the lease is ticking loudly. Just keep that in mind. We have to show the NFL the Bills belong here. Don't give anyone any reason to point fingers at the fans.

How do we go about doing this?

I remember Jim Leonhard getting lots of reps at FS until Byrd came back.
Leonhard played SS in Byrd's absence, big guy.
Bills Mafia tailgate at Hammers lot???
