I live in Nashville. Titans defense underperformed while here with the same talent that Greggo had. This guy is toxic. Players hated him. Just watch when the D sucks and the fans complain. Definite downgrade. Crap...

As far as the negotiations go, word on the street is that Pettine really wants the gig.

Per radio station in Cleveland. http://www.wtam.com/...coach-11997723/

Classic.

I think we actually had one of those 2 players - Marshawn Lynch. And we had a shot at another - Russell Wilson. C'mon, now. If you think winning is solely about a player here or a player there, you're missing something huge. The organization and the culture upon which it is built. Until and unless this organization proves it can rethink the way it does things for the better, we're going to be stuck with marginal improvements and rehiring coaches. One or two players? I'm optimistic - but try one or two seismic mind shifts. Charles

Someone needs to show Dareus this video...Over and over and over again.

Yeah, Pot Roast. Love it.

My second favorite moment from Sunday. My favorite moment

Thought y'all should know. http://www.tennessean.com/article/20140119/SPORTS01/301190108/Titans-adding-former-Bills-Jaguars-head-coach-Mularkey

Mike Priefer of the fired Vikings staff would be a good get. Though he's currently embroiled in that Kluwe controversy.

Put this Twitter update up today:

Designated drivers. Yea, we can.... http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Record-breaking-year-for-Bills-designated-drivers/d8c50ad6-2a48-499c-908a-f8240203087b

I just wish we had sucked hard the year Luck came out in the draft. That would have been beautiful thing. To get him as our QB.

Friggin' Wannstedt...

I didn't understand the hire then and I don't understand the hire now. He took the Lions special teams to new depths of underachievement. And he was working on continuing the trend in Buffalo. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000126490/article/detroit-lions-fire-special-teams-coach-danny-crossman

I mentioned this in my post. Priefer would be a good get.

Also sounds like Mike Westhoff may want to return to the NFL. And he respects Mike Pettine. Westhoff would be fun to watch on the sidelines. Yessir! http://espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/story/_/id/8835664/mike-westhoff-former-new-york-jets-special-teams-coach-critical-team-management

Good chance Minnesota Vikings Frazier is fired. If he is we should hire Vikings' ST coach Mike Priefer. They ranked well. Heck, the Browns ST coach did a respectable job too. He may be available soon. Anything but the Sh&T show we had this year...

Now!

Yeah Pettine wants a HC gig. I think some of the reports/interviews back when he was hired had him mentioning that "that's what most of us work for"...I think if he gets hired "first time out" this off season, that would be a huge surprise. Peter King reports that There's a NFL panel that is charged with recommending HC candidates to teams looking for a HC. Pettine supposedly is on this list. http://mmqb.si.com/2013/12/18/nfl-week-16-storylines/ http://espn.go.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/5648/shutout-win-could-help-propel-pettine

The whole clusterfork at LG is because the Bills overplayed their hand and had no Plan B when Levitre left. I would take a guard in late first or the second round. But in the meantime scour the FA list to see how we can upgrade the position.

C'mon man. This is a laughable comparison. I agree with your point about this being too early to throw out the baby with the bathwater, but Manning had an incredible body of work heading into the draft. The best anyone can say about EJ is that he has "a presence about him." He was a good QB in college, no doubt. But I respectfully submit that Geno Smith had a better history. C

I agree with the OP for the most part. To me the biggest difference between Geno Smith (the standard bearer in rookie QBs this season in spite of some of his struggles) and EJ's development, is the fact that Morhinweg is a veteran OC who knows how to develop QBs (Jets, Green Bay, SF, Detroit). We have a rookie OC who has trouble calling plays let alone developing QBs. In contrast, our D has a veteran talent *and* a veteran coach who knows how to use that talent. I'm all for Hackett being the OC next season, but I think we need to bring in a QB coach who knows how to develop QBs. I also think we need a new ST coach. C

Yeah, I like Marrone a lot. A down to earth dreamer.
