So if I hear correctly, the Seattle D-coord is interested in the Browns and they are interested in him... right?!? That would be pretty short sighted of an organization to NOT hire a guy because of Super Bowl timing.
-
I was driving at lunch listening to Sirius. The guy was talking about the Browns situation and was ripping them to pieces. Saying Pettine was not even a blip on their radar when they fired Chud. Was not on anyone's list. Now this Clown organization might hire him. Pettine is a solid DC but he brings no real credentials to being the Browns head coach.
-
Good coaches move around ALL the time. They often leave the good teams for a better position at a mediocre team and yet the "good" team still stays strong. Pettine leaving won't undo the Bills. I don't think people need to freak out about this. It stinks while a new coach gets up to speed but Marrone already stated he will find someone to use a similar scheme if Pettine leaves. They won't stop being aggressive.
-
I think it's between the Seattle guy and Pettine. If the 'Hawks win the Super Bowl it would be very easy to sell their D-Coord to the Browns fan base. Even if they lose a close game... Seattle's defense brings a whole lot more national acclaim to the table.

Has anything worked out better in the history of the NFL than Seattle moving from the AFC to NFC years ago? I give them credit for being a solid team but they got good when they moved to the NFC. Never had to deal with the Patriots, Ravens, Steelers, Broncos, etc... They benefitted from a bad NFC West for several years and made the playoffs and even a SuperBowl. Now I think this years version of the Seahawks is the best they've had but overall that organization really got the benefit of moving out of the AFC.
As for the fans, i think there are jerk fans at every NFL stadium. We have no reason to talk here in Buffalo. Some of the jerkiest fans in the NFL reside in WNY. I do agree that the Seahawks have some punk players and aren't very likeable.

I still think a hail mary pass into a group of receivers and DB's give a team a better chance to succeed than these crazy laterals all over the field. that just never works and often times the team goes backwards and loses the ball. At least heaving it downfield you can get a perfect deflection or tip and then run it in. I hate all the laterals. just dumb,
-
Gus Malzhan must be a freakin' genius. Isn't this the Auburn club that stunk last year and lost the Iron Bowl like 52-0? They got so good, so fast under this guy.

I don't think many people are throwing in the towel on EJ. Like Whaley said, we all expect good progression from year 1 to year 2. We'd better see it. Would be nice if EJ could sprinkle in a few 300 yard passing games in the mix like Drew Brees did in his 2nd season.
If the Bills see a QB in the draft that they love, and he falls to them, I wouldn't be upset to have them pull the trigger in order to hedge their bets on EJ. You have to get the QB position right or the organization will spin their wheels indefinitely.
-
Or luck come out as a junior and settle for cam! Oh well. Wasn't in the cards.
or take our 1st round "franchise QB" this year since there are several really promising ones. Instead we took ours last April in maybe the weakest QB class in years. Bills have no Luck.
-
That sound you hear is KC's window slamming shut. Next season they won't get all those fortunate matchups of crap QB's to get out 9-0. They won't get bushell fulls of turnovers to steal games along the way. They won't have an injury-free season from Jamaal Charles. As an NFL team in the playoffs, you have to take advantage of the NOW. KC was the hot team this year, so much fell their way. I see them still being decent next year but more like 8-8.

GMs want innovative new coaches and ideas. Not these stale old concepts.
-
I'm in on Sammy Watkins. He's the anti TJ Graham. He's fast and can actually catch the ball with his hands and knows how to "high point" the ball downfield.
-
Marrone has a lot better chance to be a success imo. I don't see anything special in EJ. Kinda' like Tannehill to me or Jason Campbell version 2.0. Marrone has been around a successful NFL team and QB (Saints). He knows what "success" looks like from the inside and what kind of players and schemes you need to win.
People that say Marrone is too inexperienced or in over his head is such a copout for sound reasoning. That's assuming guys like Mike Tomlin, John Harbaugh, John Fox, Bill Belichek, etc..NEVER make mistakes during a game. Let me tell you, all NFL coaches make mistakes. I think Marrone gets it and will be a good NFL coach.
-
I saw this over the weekend. Very cool and touching. Great that they won the game that week.
-
I would take Bortles right now over EJ in a second. Sorry I just wasn't very impressed with EJs game even when he was healthy.
-
Bortles looks really good early. He's a lot faster than I thought
-
The most important stats directly tied to winning/losing are turnovers and 3rd down conversion %. If you suck at those 2 things...your team will lose ALOT. So for Marrone to say a good turnover ratio is the key to winning is absolutely a true factoid.
The problem is that turnovers are completely random. Every team tries to strip ball carriers, tip passes, etc... Some years you get 'em, some years you don't. As always, the more consistent way to win is to have a solid QB (hence good at 3rd down conversions)...and a stout defense.
-
TJ jumped on his TD catch (wide open nice play Thad)...and TJ jumped on that wide open 4th down drop. I said it even before the analyst. Why the F-- is he jumping?? That shows me he is NOT a true NFL wide receiver. Good NFL receivers just don't do that on balls at the waist-mid-section. He's like the fast guys i played intramural football with. Just a terrible WR.
-
This is two horrible weather games in a row for Thad trying to impress.
-
This is going to be miserable weather. I'm in mid-atlantic today and the hard steady cold rain would be brutal to pass in. This weather is all headed into New England today.
-
EJ will not have played at Gillette or against Miami at all. Me thinks that is a big plus for Thad and a big minus for EJ. It's like he will be starting over as a rook again next season. Bridgewater is already better.
-
I will only pull for teams that have already won it in recent years. Call it my Buffalo jealousy. I don't want some new city living it up with a SB championship before we get our first. Therefore I want teams like Cinci, Seattle and Carolina to lose early. If a New England wins again who cares. The damage is already done since they've won several Lombardi's.
-
I thought I heard that Thad is better at 3rd down conversions which to me is a huge difference. That's the 2nd most important stat in the NFL, only behind turnovers.
-
All I know is I seriously doubt EJ goes 2-0 vs Miami. Downplay what Thad did all u want but he got it done and looked much better than the seasoned Tannehill with fewer weapons.
Pettine has officially signed on as coach of the Browns

The Bills will be fine and Marrone said he will get a guy in here with the same aggressive D mindset. They'd better be taking Pettines office keys now, security badge, his ipad and all confidential data associated with the Bills. That's what my company does the moment someone leaves here, lol. He is the enemy now!
