It is just that Rex Ryan is, without a doubt, my least favorite Bills coach of all time. Worse than Hank Bullough, who was around when I old enough to have some idea of good and bad coaching. I agree. Rex was my least favorite also. It's just funny the high praised Marrone (by some on this board), in his best season, was only 1 game better than god awful Rex in his best season. We have a better coach now, in McDermott. He won 9 games with the Bills roster, imagine how many games he would have won with Marrone's roster in Jacksonville. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellDopeland Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Not I. I once was behind Saint Doug on an escalator in the Galleria Mall. I wish I could go back to that day, and kick him in the n%!s! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not a big fan of Marrone since Bills games were frustrating to watch under his regime. However, using number of wins as the sole criteria for evaluating the reign is ridiculous due to roster turnover. I would look at other things like player discipline , penalties, etc. Marrone at least had the Bills well prepared for game day compared to the wild west under Rex. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phypon Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) I'm tired of hearing about the Jags and Marrone. I think they are way overrated. If the Bills had any semblance of an offense they would have smoked the Jags. Bills put up 3 while the Steelers put up over 40. The Pats* will demonstrate how pedestrian the Jags really are. And the Jags are not a Marrone team, they are a Coughlin team. I never liked Doug, just didn't do it for me, something about him. I hate both teams at this point but I think the Pats* are the better team and I think they should beat the Jags so I can enjoy Pats* losing the super bowl. I would much rather see that then a Jags win. I love when the Pats* lose a super bowl. It's such a good feeling :-) Edited January 17, 2018 by phypon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if only the Bills weren't ranked 31st (thats bad) in penalties, under Marrone in 2014. A 9-7 year by "Saint Doug", has given fans amnesia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) I just read some things that might be interesting - Coughlin owned the Pats* in their two appearances Marrone hasn't seen Coughlin's SB wins over Pats Tom Coughlin put his stamp on Jaguars from moment he was hired The two-time Super Bowl-winning coach returned as the Jaguars' football czar and instituted changes that many feel have turned the franchise around.

Agree 100%, if they would've fired Whaley and Brandon was moved far far far away from the Bills then I think he stays. Just speaking to Whaley probably made it happen, Whaley and Brandon are a huge reason for the playoff drought. I will be rooting for the Jaguars to beat the Patriots, it will be a hard game to watch because you have to swallow at least 2 BS calls but I'm going to do it. Im with you man, go Jags. Hate hate hate the Pats, really want them sitting home for the SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. It was about power, not money. Do you ever say anything that is accurate or are you 24/7 on an acid trip?

Went on today and they are posting that we are all salty about Marrone. I can't speak for everyone but I said many, if not most, are not. We've moved on and we actually hope they win. Our Pats hate supersedes all else. No I'll take a pats win. I've learned how to deal with their winning and they beat everyone. I don't want to have to deal with Marrone and Dareus winning. No thanks. Listening to 2 weeks of Marrone praise, no thanks. Edited January 18, 2018 by Ol Dirty B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that would be tough to handle, but I just can't stand the thought of seeing Brady and Bill holding up the trophy again. I don't think the Jags can beat them but in this bizzaro word setup that came true, I have to root for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sent a text to let his players know he was leaving, a text message. If you respect that, go right ahead. I don't respect that clown. You called Marrone a spineless coward and said that you have no respect for someone who quits their job. I asked you to explain what he's done to demonstrate that he's a spineless coward and how quitting a job shouldn't be considered a shameful act yet somehow I am blowing something out of proportion? Sorry I asked you to provide examples supporting your unexplained name calling. ...Bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 Well, I don't hate Marrone any more, but after witnessing yesterday's 4th quarter I'm sure as hell glad he's no longer our coach. Marrone and Hackett absolutely blew the game with brutal predictability and lack of situational awareness. It's stunning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I actually really like the look and makeup of this Jaguars team. I absolutely love their approach to defense, with a total commitment to team speed even at the sacrifice of size. They remind me of an NFL version of traditional Miami Hurricane, Florida Gator, and Fl. St. Seminole teams. Ridiculous team speed on D. The Bills need to look like that, particularly at the LB position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won 9 games for one reason only: the Pats rested most of their starters in the final game for most of the game. If that game had mattered to NE, the Bills would have been bugsplat.
