Fire Hackett and hire Giants OC. He knows how to get his star WR the ball.
-
It will be interesting in the next 10 days to see if the Pegulas decide to bring in an outside consultant to evaluate the organization for the balance of the year. With the playoffs almost out of sight it seems now is the time to do so.

I remember you and I last year being on the same side when it came to Hackett. I hate the fact that we are right, but Hackett is inept. Marrone and his oline look worse then ever despite the fact that the Bills have been devoting draft picks to it and FA.
The only saving thing Marrone could do is fire Hackett tomorrow and show some leadership.
I think we are stuck with Marrone for next year because no good coach wants to come into no first round pick and no qb.
Firing Hackett would be another step in the right direction but would send a bad message to ownership about Marrone's judgement in the first place since he hired him. Marrone will likely fall on the sword for his staff since a move like that would have little impact because Marrone would be calling the plays from a playbook that's not working with Spiller and WRs. Time to sit CJ down and see if Bryce Brown can provide a spark with Jackson. Whaley should get on the phone with Jerry Jones and move CJ for a conditional pick. He'd be great spelling Murray behind that O Line.

C'mon man! This isn't fantasy football.

What does the bold indicate? In other words, why did you lump Tannehill with Luck, Netwon or Stafford?
Current 1st round starters in bold.

Since 2009 there are just as many starting QBs today drafted outside Round 1. Statistically odds are against Round 1 QBs. Bottom line, without the first overall pick we're more likely to find a starting QB outside the first round.
2009
1.1 Matt Stafford
1.5 Mark Sanchez
1.17 Josh Freeman
2010
1.1 Sam Bradford
1.25 Tim Tebow
2011
1.1 Cam Newton
1.8 Jake Locker
1.10 Blaine Gabbert
1.12 Christian Ponder
Current Starters drafted outside Round 1 in 2011
2.3 Andy Dalton
2.4 Colin Kaepernick
2012
1.1 Andrew Luck
1.2 RGIII
1.8 Ryan Tannehill
1.22 Brandon Weedon
Current Starters drafted outside Round 1 in 2012
3.12 Russel Wilson
3.25 Nick Foles
4.7 Kirk Cousins
2013
1.16 EJ Manual
Current Starters drafted outside Round 1 in 2013
2.7 Geno Smith
3.11 Mike Glennon
Verdict still out on 2014.

Time to stop embarrassing yourselves as NFL talent evaluators. Make the QB change now and you may just save your job (with the exception of Hackett. He's no good)
-
This is the NFL. Each season has 16 games and I'm not going to wait for this staff to watch this guys development after +28 games. Just look at Cousins or Foles after a few games. Enough! If they can't realize this guy can't hit water if he fell out of a boat they should be released too. Hackett should go to pop warner football or play video games. Show some balls and make a change!
-
it's time
Well said.
-
EJ doesn't help but Hackett in way over his head when he's up against an experienced D coordinator. Should have never been hired into this situation with a young QB.
-
Junior Varsity? Try Pop Warner. His head will be on the chopping block if this offence doesn't perform. Pieces are in place around him on the coaching staff to take over with Marrone calling the plays.

So it's almost finals week at college and I have nothing important to do. On top of that, I am starting to hit my limit for mock drafts and synthetic dope discussions.
So I've been zooming around on Google Earth. I like to look at the 3D renderings they do of important buildings and landmarks. I decided to check out NFL stadiums.
3D models have been made of all but one stadium. Guess which one...
Seriously? Go shag someone.

Is that Thurman in the pic?????
-
Carrington's agent is Eugene Parker. Hopefully after the draft there are no ties with Parker now or in the foreseeable future.

Check out the guy's bio. He doesn't know the first thing about football. He should focus on Toronto basketball and soccer to figure out those losing cultures.

"If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on, now,
Cause there's too many places I've got to see"
...and this Byrd you cannot change.

Hackett ran the offence with training wheels this year. I'd like to know how much of the playbook he opened this year...25%?
-
If you compare Spiller with the likes of McCoy and Charles, both those guys see 25 to 30 touches a game week in and week out. I know Spiller has been banged up but Hackett should have been more patient with him yesterday and let him get in a groove. These Bills backs platoon like each play is an amusement park ride. Go once then get back in line to do it again. Never mind confusing the other team's Defence, Hackett has his own team confused!
-
Bring in an experienced OC.
-
I hope I'm wrong but the only chance we have next week against the Jets is probably based on Pettine's ability to create havoc on D with turnovers including a TD. No lunch money for Hackett Sunday, Rex is going to steal it.
-
After serving the Steelers up on a platter on the first 3 drives for his coordinator counterpart, Pettine has seen enough from Hackett and fired him after today's game. Hackett has already found a new job in the POP Warner football league.
-
470 yards of offense by Hackett against KC defense. Case closed. I like him. You are nitpicking. Rookie QB mistake on the pick 6 and great strip of TJ cost them the game.. simple as that. those two things don't happen we win, Bills have 500+ on offense and Hackett is suddenly HC material in the media. It was a "turnover game" just let it go and hope EJ is back soon so we can get some decent QB play.
Hackett is no match with the better defensive minds in the game. The first three drive starts were at the Steelers 20 and 44 and then our 40. On the road and only 3 points to show. They should have went for the kill early. Instead, he walked right into the bear trap with his predictable play calling and without a fight. Regardless of EJs rust, Dick LeBeau had this guy's number before the first snap.
And what's the deal with not using Spiller? Healthy now and proclaimed the team's game breaker and only gets 8 rushing attempts. Hackett has no pulse for his RBs in tough games.
Go back to the college ranks to develop, this team has no time to develop inexperienced coaches.

Offensive Coordinator
Defensive Lineman
Offensive lineman
Linebackers
Cornerback
Wide Receiver
Tight end
That about sums it up
OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR experience! He's on a two year plan.
Smoke & Mirrors Gameplan to make Hackett look competent
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
With passes actually +10 yards down the field it looks like the gameplan has been designed to make Hackett look competent. Expect more play calling to pad passing stats and boost WR numbers. Marrone will point to this game as progress to save Nate's job.
Sadly, we're going to be stuck with our Pop Warner OC next year and will be back to run-run-check-down-pass-out starting week one next year.
