The only way this makes sense is if we trade for a true starter. But then the whole McCown thing makes no sense, why would he want to be here if he cannot compete for the starter role. So I agree this does not make much sense.

I do not think they think he is a bench warmer. I believe their thinking is he gets hurt again and have to take a cap hit of $16,580,000. If he can stay healthy, and that is a HUGE if, he is the starter there and they have a good chance at the playoffs. Same would be true for us, but the HUGE if is always the devil in the details.

Yes but in 5 years we will forgot about that. Sometimes we win games we should not, that is football!!!

I would add the Niners also to the list...

It's true. He wants to see the result of the Kubiak interview on Sunday. Who does that? http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/12178603/baltimore-ravens-oc-gary-kubiak-interview-denver-broncos-head-coaching-job

On top of that Elway seems to be a meddling GM. There were reports that he did a get the team excited talk mid season this year because Fox and crew did not. Think Marrone could handle that? Hell what coach would?

I do not think any of the FA QB's are the answer for anything but backup. I think it needs to be trade and that is the big unknown. If it is EJ and some FA QB I think it will be a season much like this one, close but not quite there...

Thank You!!!!

Says the guy who may not be on the team next year, lol

I agree, Pepper Johnson D cord, and new OC

Greatest comeback in playoff history!

Actually better then the average backup. Most teams would be happy with .500 record from a backup and Orton gave us 7-5. We just did not have a real starter at QB this year. 2014 can be a real stepping stone and Marrone was a big factor in that. He really helped bring this team together. I hope he comes back and they really address the Offense like they did Special Teams last off season.

Clearly this is not a team that just needs a year to get better. But we are solid in 2 phases, Defense and Special Teams. We have to sign Hughes and Searcy on D and that unit should get better next year. Now for the Bills to get the next step the Offense needs serious upgrade, even more then the special teams did last year. I think we need 3 or 4 new offensive linemen for starters and depth. The free agents for QB are dreadful and a rookie QB will not get us to the next level next year so the route here has to be trade. There are several QB's that are unhappy with their situation that could be had for a trade. The goal is to get an average QB here. Finally we need to upgrade the running game, this could be done via draft. If we made those changes and had the same receivers I believe that we could take the next step. If we get another Chris Williams for the OL and a FA QB we could have another year like this, win some we would not expect, lose some we should not have.

I hope he stays one more year also. As good as this defense is we did have a few bad games in the beginning of the year, San Diego and New England. The defense is playing lights out the second half of the season, they got adjusted to the system. If we get another DC with a slightly different system we may have the same thing happen, be good not great in first half. With Schwartz I would like to see us on the same page from week 1.

I think Orton is a bridge. A bridge to Manuel? Not sure. A few upgrades on the O-Line and keep the D intact we can be a playoff team, 10-6 type of team with Orton. Will have trouble beating teams with good D and great O. That is the first step, the playoffs. After that we have to win in the playoffs and Orton is not the QB to do that. So my question is who does he bridge to and how long will it be?

http://espn.go.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/15892/prediction-broncos-will-beat-bills This is like the 4th week in a row that he has predicted a loss...

We have beaten 2 legitimate teams, Miami at home and Detroit on the road...

That was the reason for the timeout that saved the Jets from the delay of game penalty. The Bills D then came out with 3 man rush and the rest of the team 20 yards from the LOS.

I do not think that was on Gilmore. From the replay it clearly looked like Gilmore was expecting help deep and he was playing underneath. Marrone called timeout and saved the Jets from delay of game and then the defense rushed 3 and had everyone else way back.

INcredible take

There was close to 2 feet of snow on the ground from prior storms. Just got a foot from the Blizzard plus the 70 MPH winds. Was really crazy...

They may be waiting to ensure that the game could occur on Monday. Maybe they do not want to postpone twice? They could postpone now with a decision what day or where to play later...

Yeah I agree. I lived in the area during the Blizzard of 77 and it took the better part of a week to dig out of that. Granted that covered the entire region, but drifts were really high and took National Guard to move the snow. Had the same issues, nowhere to put the snow. If the current snow does last into the late evening I do not see the travel ban lifted prior to Sat or Sun.

Well to be fair, most teams QB dominated us before last year...

Same here maybe 20
