Then how come some coaches consistently manage to make the right decision, and Marrone doesn't?
It's not arbitrary, it's being prepared. If he can't handle it himself, get an assistant to help.
I was all for considering it a 4-down situation in the KC game. I would have been pissed if he didn't go for it. BUT, chucking it into the end zone 4 plays in a row was stupid (some of that was likely Orton's fault).
Considering Watkins was wide open running underneath on one of the early downs that would have resulted in a first down or possibly a touchdown, a lot was on Orton

Probably because there are so many things going on they are managing in realtime, plus the fact being raised in the environment they have been raised in makes it more difficult to step back and think outside of it.
It's like trying to figure out how to get out of a forest while being in the middle of it while we as fans are sitting up in a helicopter looking down saying how easy it is to get out. It might be, but we also might not see the fallen trees blocking the path, impassable areas, and rocks in the way that might need to change your plan.
Basically we sit on the outside looking over everything without knowing any of the details involved with being on the ground

QBs in Chip Kelly's offense are like RBs in Shanahans offense when he was in Denver. Plug someone in and they are going to look good
-
Sherman has trouble with smaller,shifty receivers..always has
-
Preston Brown said it was 100% his responsibility on the 4 and 1 Charles TD run.
Means Lawson was supposed to crash down and Brown was supposed to spill down the line to contain that play...which means Lawson did his job correctly
-
The lines mean nothing...they are simply generated to get even money on both sides
-
Certainly we can blame Bryce/Leodis/Marrone for the loss, but my vote goes to Manny Lawson. He lost containment on 2 plays both leading to TDs. If he plays his position correctly on the Charles TD run, he may have stopped him for a loss and the Bills get the ball back-worst case here they get the first but not a long TD run. Also same mistake on the Alex Smith TD Run. Hopefully coaches show him and he learns
Impossible to know if that was his responsibility...he might have been crashing down with one of the other LBs spilling out to the flat...unless they specifically said it was on him we can't be certain he didn't do what he was supposed to on that play
Orton had players open on at least 4 plays in 2 drives Insode the red zone. He missed his receivers for TDs. Chandler twice. Woods. Sammy twice. Hogan twice.
Ya, Orton was off after the first quarter...was frustrating to see how many easy throws he has been routinely making that he missed on..
-
I want to know wtf was Watkins doing on the play...dude should have been blocked, Watkins standing there doing nothing as he chopped the ball out...
Little details man, little things that playoff teams make sure are done right...
-
Wow...Bears have just quit on their coach
-
Bryce Brown fumble
That was a HUGE play...
20-3 goes back to 13-3 and KC can feel good about themselves. At 20-3 Alex Smith can't just play for the punt and hope we fumble and set him right up to score.
Would have been 17-3 not 20-3
-
This. And Chander did extend his arm to create separation. Both were ticky tacky penalties that the refs sometimes call and sometimes don't.
The only really bad calls I was pissed about was the late hit out of bounds that wasn't called and a hold that wasn't called right in front of a ref that was on a huge play. Can't remember exactly which one.
The issue is when other teams are allowed to get away with murder against us and we get called for nonsense..if it goes both ways OK but its not
-
Me too
you nevr stop ball washing the coaching
Execution is far more important than playcall and execution today wasn't good enough
-
Call on Williams was a good call. Henderson moved. Chandler pushed off. Am I missing something here?
Chandler barely touched him if at all...it didn't look like anyone on the Bills moved on the giant jumbotron replay and Williams didn't even touch Smith...maybe you need a bigger TV...the jumbotron replay is pretty clear
-
When we somehow had 4th and ten on the 2 nd to last possession front inside the KC 25... Hackett just seemed like he didn't understand basic football there
Hackett didn't not throw to a wide open Watkins running underneath on 2nd down, nor badly misfire to a wide open Watkins after the DB fell on 4th down...both of those throws would have likely been TDs
-
A lot of your points come down to the killer instinct thing. They got 7 on a crucial turnover, we got 3. Orton had plenty of chances to put the dagger in and did not.
Frankly, he had a really good first half. Several drops from the receivers there. But in the second half he got shaky all of a sudden. We only allowed 1 sack - they were definitely getting pressure - but it seemed like Orton had some time and didn't make the right reads. I remember a wide open Hogan on a 3rd and long.
He had Watkins running wide open underneath on a 2nd down throw on the 1st and 10 from the 15 series after Mckelvin returned the punt to the 25...throws to Hogan in the endzone and almost got it picked...
Then he misfired to a wide open Watkins on 4th and 10 as the DB is falling down but Orton throws it so bad the falling DB almost picks it off
-
I'm so tired of these phantom calls against us every game...in this case 3 of them this game...
1) Roughing the passer on Williams. View on the jumbotron clearly shows he went over the top of Smith and brushed his shoulder...nonsense call considering I've seen guys hit the QBs while sliding full force and get no calls
2) False start on 4th and 1...the entire stadium and Bills team knew it was a KC player that jumped offsides. However the ref calls it on us...wtf???? Are you serious??
3) PI on Chandler...Might have completely whiffed, but at worst barely even contacts the LB yet gets flagged. Meanwhile Gronkowski shoves our player to the ground, turns around and makes the catch in the NE game and no call...just brutal...
These calls led to 3 KC points and 2 punts for the Bills...
Combine this with boneheaded fumbles by Brown running into the endzone and McKelvin on the punt return, along with Orton missing wide open receivers much of the game and its too much to overcome...we are not good enough to have to beat the other team and the refs

Dont be stuck in last year. Chiefs are a much different team. KC didn't have Kelce last year and Smith is in such a rhythm after a year in Reids offense. He has ONE interception since week one. That's damn good. Chiefs are moving the ball without the help of turnovers and big special teams play. last year they were almost reliant on D/ST touchdowns. Safety play has also drastically improved. I just feel like the Chiefs are being under rated.
I feel like we are being underrated

they have no business "looking ahead". Kansas city is the better team. Bills are going to have to be firing on all cylinders.
KC was 8-0 last year and got their ass kicked on both sides of the ball, escaping with a win thanks to a 3rd string rookie QB making his first start and Stevie Johnson running a route he had no business running at the goalline
They won't be so lucky today
-
You just summed up what all of the fans of Orton's teams think of him.
Fitz is limited but he is not the problem with that team. It's amazing how much hype Mallett gets.
You mean other than Orton can hit a WR 40+ yards downfield in stride instead of having the ball end up 5 yards behind him and turn into a jump ball like Fitz throws?

Fred trying to get back sooner than later
That says he's trying to come back early not that he's on pace to come back early. Your thread title is not accurate.
The initial article I read was titled that he was on pace to return early, which wasn't from SI. I posted the link to that since it has his quotes.
-
Nobody, including Fred or the Bills' doctors, knows if he's on pace for an early return. You have jumped the gun on this.
No I posted pretty much verbatim what he said in a quote in this article

So... This week is out of the question? It's either next week or week 12?
No said he is trying to practice tomorrow and will depend on doctors
-
Said it depends on the doctors, he is going to try and practice tomorrow, said they might tell him he can't play this week but can next week or they might tell him he can't play either of these weeks which he hopes isn't the case...
This dude is a remarkable healer...

Stick Aaron Williams on him...he has the ability to take most TE's out of the game
Southtowns (and the Ralph) getting a s***load of snow
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted · Edited by matter2003
I'm in Lancaster, we have at least 5 feet of snow, still snowing and no relief in sight...
The band was supposed to shift south starting around 4pm but has shown no movement at all and now is expected to stay put potential all night dropping another 10-15" inches...then tomorrow a storm system comes through dropping a general 3-5" all over the Niagara Frontier, followed by a lake snow warning starting at 11pm thru 1am Friday for an additional 2 feet of snow possible...
This is some crazy ****!! Most snow I've ever seen at one time, and I was here for the 7 feet in 5 days event
Here is a pic of my driveway around 3:30pm...that huge blob is snow piled up on my car and there was about a 6 foot drift from the back of my car all the way to the street...
