eball Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 ...it just doesn't matter any more. I actually enjoyed watching the Steelers have their asses handed to them for most of that game, and I'll be pulling for the Jags to beat the Pats*** as well. Saint Doug is "obviously" flawed, but I'm happy where the Bills are and I'm done rooting for Marrone to fail. We all know Coughlin is pulling the strings anyway. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclepete Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 He’s a great coach. And he did a great job when he was in Buffalo. Moreso, he seems to have learned to take more risk. He’s a spineless coward but a really good coach. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets run a fast paced offense with a rookie, rookie gets hurt, lets run a normal offense, rookie comes back fast pace but "dumbed down", repeat Year 2. Get Orton hears a who and then manages to drop the offense from 19th to 26th in ranking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I wanted him to stay here. What he did trying to get more money was a smart move and acceptable by most standards. Something I'd never do and something a man should never do; but, he was within his right. Still wish we would have kept him. And Fitz, and George Wilson, and Poz, and Searcy, and Fletcher, and Levitre (based on no backup alone)... And more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pissed about Sammy and EJ and having no power to do anything about it. Hey first timer Welcome to the NFL. He also had to hire the SB winning coach Tom Coughlin to turn that boat in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That team has Coughlin written all over it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome007 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Not me. BUT, he did go for 4th downs a few times as we've seen, and mostly, how refreshing is it to hear "I like it when my mobile inaccurate QB runs" instead of the "let's try to make him a pocket passer" mantra. He said many times this year too, not just recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProcessTheTrust Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I'll never love the guy, but as a fan of the game, I really enjoy watching that Jax team. Fast and hard hitting defense, smash mouth running game. I pray they don't get a real QB anytime soon or they will be ruling the AFC for quite a while.

LeGOATski Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I liked him as the coach. He quit on Buffalo, but he never quit on himself. From what we've heard, Buffalo was a ****ty place to work with Whaley around. I think he was looking out for himself and his family, so I can't blame him. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I mean, the Bills put the assanine opt out clause in the contract and through back channels Marrone was pretty much guaranteed the Jets job. Then someone near the jets ran a smear campaign against him and made the owners pretty much back out. The guy grew up in NYC. I’m sure he was excited to get a chance to coach at home. I don’t really get why people hate him. Plus we had a really good vet QB that retired and all we were left with was a complete bust and probably the worst starting qb in football. A guy that Whaley was infatuated with and wouldnt stop forcing him onto coaches. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProcessTheTrust Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I think the Bills making the playoffs takes away from the full level of hate/shame of watching Marrone go this far. Instead of raising a fist and yelling to the heavens, it's more like, "Meh, good for him. Fun defense to watch. Love where we're headed tho" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he's a massive prick who preached "family" and "don't let anyone give you **** for being a Bill" and "don't confuse effort with results" and then bailed because he wasn't praised enough for a playoff-less 8-7 season. The same thing he did to Syracuse. F him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProcessTheTrust Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Just realizing, not thinking it's gonna happen, but imagine the Jags vs Eagles SB. Our HC/OC/DC from 2014 all in the big game. Again, our playoff drought ending doesn't make that thought hurt nearly as much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey first timer Welcome to the NFL. He also had to hire the SB winning coach Tom Coughlin to turn that boat in the right direction. A lot of this team was in place with Gus Bradley. They just underachieved. And in recent history Coughlin struggled in New York. Sure he helped, but I wouldn't attribute his success to solely to Tom Coughlin. 1 hour ago, ShadyBillsFan said: He was pissed about Sammy and EJ and having no power to do anything about it. Hey first timer Welcome to the NFL. He also had to hire the SB winning coach Tom Coughlin to turn that boat in the right direction. Once again, Coughlin struggled for several years in New York. And that 9-7 Bills team completely over achieved. I still remember feeling like the team finally seemed prepared even though they were overmatched. I think he and Jim Schwartz would have made the playoffs and made a run if they got one more year. Edited January 15, 2018 by unclepete 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) 2016 the JAGS were 3-13.

apuszczalowski Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Just Bills fans still being bitter about not getting to be the dumper instead of the one being dumped. Fans wanted him run out of town and hated him before he left. He used an option in his contract that allowed him an out with a nice chunk of cash and he did what was best for him and his family. Whether you believe that he did it for the Jets job, he still landed on his feet and in a better situation then the Jets. I'm sure no Bills fan has ever left a job for something different or for money....... Edited January 15, 2018 by apuszczalowski 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
