His kronie Hackett has alot to be desired though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I've felt all along that the Jags are the single biggest threat to the Patriots this year because of their defense. And all of a sudden Bortles has been on fire the last month so you have to give St. Doug and Nate Hackett a lot of credit and if they have an offense that can score points in the playoffs look out. Either way I would be very surprised if Marrone doesn't win coach of the year over McVay for the sole reason of salvaging Bortles career and completely turning around a Jags team that was god awful the previous few years. He's done yeoman's work at every level and living up to the young Bill Parcells comparisons. Also yes Marrone does look very smart in hindsight for ditching this organization even if it took him a few years to make it back to the top of the coaching food chain. He obviously had the Pegulas pegged so to speak and realized they had no business being pro sports owners. In five years when the Bills are likely still floundering and Marrone has led the Jags to at least one championship it will be another painful footnote and reminder for Bills fans. May be the Jags hiring Tom Coughlin has SOMETHING to do with this turnaround? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Marrone got nothing BUT lucky after he thought he was a lock for the Jest job he didn’t get and ended up in Jax. I guess that WAS Marrones Defense, not Scwartz lol!

I wanted Wilson, Cousins, Goff, AJ McCarron and Bortles as well. He played for Eastern Illinois and beat a lot of Romo's records. He lived in Arlington Heights which is 10 min from where I live. I watched him play Lake Park when he was with the Mustangs, I was thinking holy cow this kid is way better than any other QB that I have watched play QB in high school. I wanted the Bills to take Jimmy G so badly, I was pushing for him so hard on draft day. Take solace in the fact that you did all you could do.

DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Depends on your definition of 'serious contender'. I think they are the only team in the AFC that has a chance against New England or Pitt. I'd put the Jags chance of winning the superbowl at 5%. I just don't trust Bortles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pegulas are bad owners now? Like you would have any clue what makes a good owner. The packers do fine with no owner, the seahawks do fine with a software developer as an owner, the list goes on. "In five years when the Bills are still floundering...." give me a break. Khan's first five years as Jags owner his team was awful, averaging about 3 wins a year. But you imply Pegula is no good after winning more in 2 years than Khan did his first 5. Just go away.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincec Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Probably not. They have a below average QB and no big game experience. Those are usually the two keys to winning in the playoffs. But you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 1 hour ago, Dablitzkrieg said: I think the Steelers or Patriots would smoke them They match up really well with the Steelers. Two of the best cover guys to chase around AB and company and a brutal rush that Ben is too old to escape from. Pittsburgh doesn't have a good pash rush, if you don't fluster Bortles he might beat yah. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 That would be a tough pill to swallow. Running off your HC to watch him win the SB with his next team is about as Billsy as it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Boo Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 With that defense and a healthy Fournette, absolutely! If Allen Robinson comes back healthy next season, that's officially the best team in the NFL on paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I myself think he would have. I also think that's the real question to ask. He convinced Bills management he needed a better QB and got one in Orton so once Kyle quit, they probably would've got him another. The Clown Show that followed was also able to push for players he wanted, like Tyrod, but he was too defensive-minded. I like the Coach/GM tandem we have now and would like to see how they do with a couple more off seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
