ny33 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 In my opinion, Russ Brandon is the fundamental problem with this organization. The move shifting him to new "owner" of the Bills was far from a fresh start. I suspect that he has been doing a lot of Ralph's work for years, and "Ralph is cheap" has really been "Russ is cheap." The man is a marketer, not, I think, a guy whose primary goal is winning Super Bowls. It's too early to say that Marrone is a bad coach- give us a few more games this season where discipline and clock management lose us the game- but I think fans should be extremely concerned about the fact that our head coach was likely signed because of his shared connection to Syracuse with Brandon. The loss today was inexcusable. The mistakes weren't on a rookie quarterback, or a rookie running back fumbling (a la David Wilson of the Giants). They were thanks to an insane number of penalties and ludicrous clock management. Right now, I think Marrone and Hackett are out of their element. I think they will learn, but the type of game we had was horrible. We would have been destroyed if the Pats had Gronk and/or Hernandez. Fire Brandon.

STFU and get over it. It's football. It's a game. If you can't enjoy the journey that it takes to becoming a super bowl winning team, when that moment actually occurs you might find you don't enjoy it as much as you thought you would.

STOP COMPLAINING I enjoyed the game. I still have faith in Marrone and the team, and like Manuel. All I'm saying is the hire likely was made because of personal connections and not, necessarily, as the best available candidate. Does that not concern you?

John in Jax Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 The loss today was inexcusable. The mistakes weren't on a rookie quarterback, or a rookie running back fumbling (a la David Wilson of the Giants). They were thanks to an insane number of penalties and ludicrous clock management. There are some football "experts" in here who think that clock management was not an issue today, and that when you have a lead in the 4th quarter, you should just keep running the no huddle offense, even though your offense is NOT getting the job done / advancing the ball (the Bills last FIVE drives of the game yielded TWO 1st downs and ZERO points).

Peter Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Just my two cents, but if you are interested in the Bills staying in Buffalo, I think that Russ Brandon (who is from the general area) is the best thing for the Bills. In my humble opinion, Russ is very good at what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'm saying is the hire likely was made because of personal connections and not, necessarily, as the best available candidate. Does that not concern you? If he wasn't hired because he was the best available (would come to Buffalo) candidate or ONLY because he and Brandon both went to Syracuse then why do you you have any faith in him at all?

steviejohnsonfan Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Well, from a certain perspective this makes a ton of sense. Got rid of Nix and Gailey and the team got better. I guess if the Bills got rid of Brandon that would have put them over the hump for this game. They should probably get rid of Johnson, Spiller, and Jackson just for good measure! Plan approved!

Dr. Fong Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I haven't been a big fan of Russ Brandon, but I like the direction he has been taking the franchise since Ralph backed away. I think you are the one that I would fire if given the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaaadThingsMan Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I thought the team looked good today and has a solid base for the future, besides a few mistakes which both teams made. Brandon has done a great job marketing the team and keeping them profitable in a small market. He should be commended and congratulated. Lets GO BILLS!!
