Assuming that Rex Ryan is fired at the end of the season, should the Bills consider him for head coach?
If Schwartz leaves for a HC gig a la Pettine (NY?) then hire Rex as the new DC. Keep St. Doug for continuity but make him hire an experienced OC.

Let's see....the Jets have had 10 days off after losing a close game on the road to a division rival. They have pretty much nothing to lose and are at home. I really don't hold high expectations here.
They have nothing to win either; their season is already over.
-
OJ could teach the young backs how to "slash," for certain.
And how to make cuts and elude defenders.
-
Just heard the jets have 1 int all season
Keep in mind they played cutler, stafford and Carr.
Bills have 8
They'll have 11 going into the bye week.
-
Who?
I'm not familiar with him either but I've heard of his brother, Butterfinger Evans.
-
With the Bills track record, Harvin is likely to tear his ACL against our D.
If he's lucky. He might get an orchidectomy instead.

Does anyone seriously believe that a brand new owner would okay this? The PR backlash and backlash from the league and other owners would be insane.
All that Incognito has to do is announce that he's found Jesus at his press conference and all will be forgiven.

Someone who will hire the best available OC and the best available QB coach for his project QB instead of one crony to do both jobs.
-
There is only so much space in a newspaper to fit in the article, that's why. Marrone is just not good enough. I was very wary when he brought an inexperienced Hackett with him. This hire has proved costly. The offense is inept. Hackett was thoroughly outcoached. yesterday.
He could have hired Hackett as a QB coach and then would be open to hire a veteran OC. Instead he hired the inexperienced guy to do both jobs.
-
Some media type has got to get to the bottom of why Urbik hasn't seen the field yet at what is a terrible guard position for this team. Did he get caught making fun of Marrone behind his back or something? There's a reason why you don't see 6'7" guards, and Pears exemplifies that. How he rates starting over Urbik is inexplicable.
Isn't he also acting as an on-the-field coach for Henderson?
Marrone also said he was going to hire coordinators with thorough NFL experience and then hired Hackett the very next day whose highest coaching title in the NFL was Offensive Quality Control.
That was funny at the time, not so much in retrospect.
Marrone likes to talk a big game but he really has no clue what to do.
Doesn't every head coach hire his cronies? Remember Greggo hiring his woefully underqualified Best Man to coach the offensive line?
6. Use CJ as decoy/gadget/screen/sweep type role ONLY and KOR
Don't forget PRs.

I think you will find the running game will be fine
5 of the 6 teams buffalo played are top 10 defenses
That's true, but if you want to make it to the first round of the playoffs and beyond you must be able to run effectively against good defenses.
-
Yeah, that was awful. I've been a big CJ supporter but I'm starting to think that he's just too dumb to learn. If he could slow down, set up his blocks, and then take off he'd be unstoppable. Problem is he's only got one speed. Those bounce outs would be more effective if the defense committed to the middle first, but he's already changed direction and running sideways before they even get out of position. It's awful. And when he doesn't bounce out he runs straight into a defender 9 out of 10 times. Strangely, the much slower Fred Jackson finds room in there, and it's not like he's knocking guys over at the LOS every other play. He finds a crease and takes what's there. CJ just doesn't get it, and he's a pretty old guy not to get it. I'm starting to think he never will.
Someone should transplant FJ's head onto CJ's body to build the perfect RB.

3. The Bills still haven't allowed a rushing TD this season, and we're going on week 7. (Of course, opponents don't need one, but whatever.)
Hey man, baby steps. This year, they stop the run. Next year, they stop the run and the pass. Be patient.
-
What is Hackett's resume? Being lucky who is dad is? Why are people defending him? He wasn't even a good OC at Syracuse. There is zero imagination with our offense.
Nepotism is killing this team. Hackett had prior NFL experience, but only as a Quality Control coach for the Bills. Frank Reich, for example, would have been a better choice because he was a quarterbacks coach at the time and Marrone probably could have hired him away from SD because the OC position would have been a promotion.
Spiller was a 1,200 yard rusher on like 200 carries before Hackett.
They take one of the most dangerous players in the NFL and just keep running him up the middle.
Maybe Hack-it is a gambling addict who keeps betting against the Bills?

This is not the 1980's this is a passing league and the teams that win and go to playoffs on a regular basis pass the football.Last year we finished second in league in rushing and how many wins did they get us (6), passing the football will open things for our running game.If you want to beat a team like New England you start that game yesterday passing the ball not two running plays into a mass of bodies.
The value of running is obvious: it eats the clock, it tires out the opposing D, it enables play action passing, etc. A pass-only offensive system has never succeeded in the NFL, every team has at least one running back and will continue to do so into perpetuity.
-
I can't find anything online about this but they just said on WGR that Spikes has an apparent rib injury. I did notice he kept grabbing his midsection during the game.
Apparently he had a rib sticking out of it. The good news is that it wasn't his.
-
cowards don't want to deal with media hysteria
The Bills could probably sign him for the vet minimum.
-
Let's all chip in and buy him a one-way ticket on Virgin Galactic.

Lions cut kicker Henery after missing three Field Goal's yesterday.
This could have been Rob Bironas' big chance to re-enter the league.

I remember reading at the beginning of the CFB season where Wisconsin's starting QB, Joel Stave, was benched in favor of a guy who was converting from safety! It was an odd move considering Stave was actually pretty good. He ended up having to play in their first game against LSU and his passes were all over the place. He looked totally different. They pulled him and said he had an injured shoulder. Then the coach said later that week that he was not injured, he actually had the "yips." I looked it up and it is a real thing that actually mentally affects how a QB know how to throw simple passes.
I know many will say no, he just sucks. Well, maybe. But he just wasn't close to this bad last year. He pulled the trigger. He saw open WRs and made throws. He wasn't getting guys killed. He had a game where he was 20-28. Woods was his favorite WR and now he can't connect with him to save his life. Does anyone know anything about this condition and is it plausible from what we have seen?
I'd say the new QB coach is the carrier, hopefully Orton has only suffered minimal "coaching".

.@TDESPN is picking the #Bills to win the AFC East, via @ByTimGraham. @PatsPulpitSBN @thephinsider @GangGreenNation http://www.buffaloru...-orton …
He should know, Dilfer is experienced with not holding a team back.
-
However, trading up for Watkins when EJ was still a huge question mark has to count for something. He bet the farm on a guy with a pretty shaky rookie year and lots of doubts surrounding his ability to succeed.
The Bills needed a #1 receiver regardless of who's at QB and, with the memory of last season's QB carousel in mind, drafting a player who increases the efficiency of whomever stands behind center makes sense.
-
I just see this as Kelly Holcomb all over again. And I think EJ has more potential than JP. Mularkey got fired and then the Bills actually got a decent season out of JP.
Mularkey wasn't fired, he quit.
-
Orton got replaced by Tim Tebow for God's sake (no pun intended). The Bills should have stuck with Manuel the rest of the season then pulled the plug. The team is going nowhere with Kyle Orton.
That was probably more of a publicity move and an overcommitment to the en vogue Wildcat offense than anything else. The proof that Orton is a better QB than Tebow is that he's still on an NFL roster.
