CodeMonkey Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) If the Bills have another awful game, then I think it's seriously time to question Marrone. Because there is not a single reason to be positive about him if he proves to not be able to motivate and properly prepare the team. Quite a few people are already questioning Marrones viability as a HC at the NFL level. Because quite frankly he really hasn't shown anything to prove otherwise thus far. However if you are seriously thinking he will or should be fired after one season my advice would be to put down the crack pipe and step away from the keyboard because that simply does not happen. ESPN analysts are 12-1 in favor of the Jags. CBS with spread (Jax + 2.5) all 8 take the Jags. CBS without spread all 8 still take the Jags. Why does vegas feel the need to entice betting on the Jags in this one by giving them the points??????

26CornerBlitz Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 @buffalobills Marrone: Kiko Alonso tweaked his knee is practice today, wants to play but will be monitored in next 48 hours. @buffalobills Doug Marrone: Kiko Alonso and Kraig Urbik are listed as questionable. Kyle Williams is probable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisonbrigade Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I am taking my wife to her first NFL game. Great Matchup Buffalo and Jacksonville. It's supposed to be 65 degrees and raining. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Kelso said on Murph that Jags had the best run D in the League since their bye, looks like it could another rough one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Jacksonville started slow but are 4-1 in the last 5 games. They like, Tampa Bay, are winning by playing tough run defense and rushing the QB. 6 weeks ago these looked like easy wins but the tables are turned. Bills will lose in Jacksonville. I will be watching anyway. Snowing all weekend here in Indy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their 4 wins are against TN, Cleveland, and Houston 2x. They play worse at home than on the road. But again, not saying the Bills will win.

LB3 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) I don't like the Bucs comparisons. The Bucs were talented underachievers. I don't think the Jags have anywhere near the talent level that the Bucs have. The Bucs have stars on offense and defense and some thought they were a playoff team heading into the year. The Jags have Jones Drew. Shorts is decent but I think they're both injured. Their wins aren't that impressive either though there isn't much that I wouldn't give to be able to beat other garbage teams like they have. I do believe the Bills will win this week. I'm looking for a good bounce back game from EJ so he can attempt to silence the naysayers for a week. I'm realistic though. I know that even if he does have a good game, TBD will still be bombarded with the "he only did well because they played Jacksonville" or "where was it when we were still playing for something" posts. In any event... GO BILLS! Edited December 15, 2013 by KikoSeeBallKikoGetBall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) ... if you are seriously thinking he will or should be fired after one season my advice would be to put down the crack pipe and step away from the keyboard because that simply does not happen. The Seahawks fired Jim Mora Jr after the 2009 season and hired Pete Carrol. 2009 was Jim's 1st and only season as Seahawks HC. 1983 Bud Grant retired as HC of the Minnesota Vikings. Les Steckel coached the team in 1984 to a 3-13 record at which point he was fired. Bud Grant came out of retirement in 1985. Sometimes it happens.

No, I don't think they'll seriously fire Marrone this offseason. There's not nearly enough negativity around to cause that yet. But, I do think losing to the Jags would be embarrassing to the point where immediate change may happen. It's not a coincidence that Marrone's been babbling about accountability and PR Man Chris Brown is *hint hint* Stevie will be gone. The scapegoats are being lined up. If Marrone has a shaky start to next year, I think he's next on the hot seat. Or he may have to sacrifice his buddy, Nathaniel. People aren't ready to give up on EJ yet, and this team is talented enough to where people know they're not terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is because contracts are more than for one year. Unless he does something like conduct detrimental to the team or more aggregious, they would need to pay him the rest of the contract. Coaches do get fired before their contract is up, but it is not a wise move, financially or otherwise, by any means after year 1 unless something has severely gone wrong. W-L record won't do that in year one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan714 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 It would be scary if we dont beat a team like the Jags. This is an not exactly a high octane offense and they will be without Blackmon, Shorts and MJD. They also traded away Monroe during the season.

YoloinOhio Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Blackmon has been out for all their wins, hasn't he? Shorts was the real difference, he is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
