What a God damned waste. I will never understand this

Re: Mike Williams waived

Makes sense. They were talking this morning about the Bills claimed a WR off the Ravens PS. Had to make room for him somewhere.

Me neither. A big talented WR in his prime that was actually excited to come here.

What a waste.

Didn't need to trade for him in the first place.

And apparently the disdain between him and Marrone from Syracuse was never settled or forgotten.

Re: Mike Williams waived

This has felt like a personal vendetta on Marrone's part for a long time now.

If so, Marrone needs to go.

I he hates Williams' game that much, he should have waved him a long time ago--or advised Whaley to not sign him in the first place.

Which really says a lot about the poor relationship between Marrone and Whaley.

That too.

If there's a problem between your HC and a player, you sure as hell don't trade for the player and tell the coach to work it out. You trade or sign a different player with a similar skill set instead.

Poor decision by Whaley.

wtf I'm not sure why the traded for the guy in the 1st place hopefully someone claims him so we're off the hook on his remaining contract.

We traded for him. I don't believe we're on the hook at all. TB took care of the guaranteed money.

Re: Mike Williams waived

I'm sure the consultant the Pegulas hire will point to this as another example of incompetence.

I suspect this gets down to the Raiders game whether Marrone is back next year -- a loss to go 7-9 means he is not back and a win to go 8-8 and he is back.

The problem with him coming back is he is too stubborn to fire Hackett.

[Dr. Who]

Re: Mike Williams waived

If he won't fire Hackett, he shouldn't be back. Really, he probably just shouldn't be back.

Re: Mike Williams waived

So we use a 6th round draft pick on the guy,then never even give him a chance?

I could see cutting our losses if he just flat out sucked. It happens. I could see shelving him as injury insurance if we got him cheap as a FA, but we gave up a sixth round pick for him in a year when we are already light on draft picks.

This just doesn't make sense on any level.

The only justification I can think of is if Williams was just a complete jackass and terrible teammate behind the scenes, but if that's the case, we probably would have heard something by now. The media gave him every opportunity to trash the team and the coach when he wasn't dressing and he took the high road with the generic "of course I want to play but it's the coach's choice" response every single time.

Saint Doug needs a punch slammed in his face. I ****ing hate his arrogant ass.

Re: Mike Williams waived

this is the silver lining in the losses against houston, kc, miami and denver. Games where we had a chance and our offense absolutely sucked. and a guy who was traded for only plays in about 4 games.

these kind of moves are helpful to firing .500 marrone and moving another direction. If it's schwartz or a real HC, we'll see. but as i've said through this season, the high for this team was to make the playoffs. there wasn't a lot of hope to go further unless they beat the broncos, packs and pats and just got smoking hot.

I don't see the purpose of keeping the team together to try and push this unit into the playoffs. the dreaded rebuild, with people who have never been associated with the bills seems like the right, long term answer. I am sure schwartz could get this team to the playoffs, but i just don't know how much steam we'd have beyond that.
