mead107 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I feel this whole topic is a slam at the new owners and think this should be shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) Interestingly, I'm sure the Jets or other teams know Nate Hackett is a nitwit as OC...so they will hire Dougie on the condition that he not bring Nate in under any circumstances. We'll see how loyal he is to Nate then...and we can then chalk up our two years with Little Nate as experience (we were Doug and Nate's guineau pig). Hate them both. Go El Pegual!!!!! Make us proud Uncle Terry. Edited January 1, 2015 by BringBackFergy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Landing Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Until we make a serious play-off run, every coach, assistant coach, and member of the FO, as well as the QB will be slammed by a certain percentage of the fan base. Word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 He's known (or should have known) about the opt-out possibility for months. And the Jets and Bears lined up their consultants weeks ago and have been working with them. Polian should've been onboard by now, or someone else should've been brought in if Polian wasn't going to be fully invested in this. I'm not saying there is no plan, but I'm saying, if there is a plan, now would be a good time to hear it. Since when is it a given that a team needs a consultant? He has a GM that is going to hire a coach and then go find a QB, Id assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Sure you are. Talk about a couched question! Oh, and Patty LaFontaine didn't "storm out of the organization", he was tossed out on his ass. Pegula did him a favor by saying Patty "resigned." GO BILLS!!! This. As an aside, I remember Sully wrote a column suggesting that the Pegulas were lucky etc. We all should be so lucky.

Kelly the Dog Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Then it's a bit odd that the GM hasn't been assured that he is staying, and hasn't said anything about the HC vacancy. It's a holiday, where he is at a bowl game scouting, as well as less than 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurmal34 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 In your opinion, what is more important, projecting an aura of stability or maintaining a competitive advantage? If there is a plan, and we have to assume there is, the real incompetence would come from publicly disclosing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Projecting an aura of stability around a franchise that has represented anything but? There are very few people who have opinions that matter today, and none will be shaped by pegula announcing anything on espn- we are simply fans and we have months to get back on the bandwagon (not that any of us are leaving). Until it's shown to be total disarray I think the simplest answer is they had a head coach that was an ego maniac and a quarterback who didn't have his heart in the game. Now they start taking action to remedy those. You and I? We don't get clued in on the plan til the decision is made and we aren't owed any more right now. What the owner is saying to the GM and the GM is saying to candidates/agents stays behind closed doors for a bit here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockinon Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I'm beginning to think, the Bills will simply promote Schwartz. Wouldn't be surprised if Hackett stays too. I wonder if the very conservative play calling was Marone more than Hackett? Seems to fit Marone's personality more than Hackett. Hackett may well have wanted to throw some wrinkles into the offensive game plan that Marone simply shot down. Sure, Orton and Marone leaving have caused a lot of wild speculation. I'm not convinced the Bills don't all ready have all the tools they need. Except maybe some player acquisitions on offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 No. You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. None. Winning teams and personal finance are two completely different animals. Winning a big bet or landing one big client might be luck but when you continually win at life in high stakes finance you are not simply lucky. This is the same exact mentality that has absolutely corrupted our country. You EARN wealth and when you are the one who built the wealth it is not simply bestowed upon you by catching some lucky breaks. In Pegula's case he anticipated the market before anyone else and that takes skill and brain power. You weren't just a few lucky breaks away from being a billionaire Doc. God what an awful way to think. It's early, I admit, but... ^ post of the year nominee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Then it's a bit odd that the GM hasn't been assured that he is staying, and hasn't said anything about the HC vacancy. Hopefully he is too busy doing evaluations as part of the hiring process to have time to talk to the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
