    Haven't you heard, Marrone has been hiding plays and saving Manuel.

    Hope springs anew!

    LOL

    No, it's just us. Every other team reveals everything and plays their full hand.

    We can expect to soar once the games begin for real. Only the Bills got the memo that preseason games were pretty much exhibition games.

    Good. Make him HC. He is aware that football games take place after Week 17.
    The last time the Bills made the playoffs was 1999.

    I think it's adios to a headcoach who is obviously in over his head, Schwartz will holdover the position on an interim basis. This is all my based on my opinion, no outside sources or links.
    It wouldn't be the first time the top management sabotaged a decent fellow (see Wade Phillips and Mike Mularkey).

    I'd be circumspect about hanging my hat on Schwartz. DET let him go, and I'm not impressed at all about his DC play calling...blitz, blitz, blitz. He's trying to compensate for the so-called "top" DL.

    He pulls that crap come regular season, the Bills will be burnt toast.

    Henceforth the word interim.

    Wait, Doug Marrone plays QB? If we had an NFL starter calibre qb, we wouldn't be looking so woeful. The D doesn't scare me, the **** play from the line, the lack of QBing, and resulting redzone success is horrifying.

    Then we would tie CLE with most HCs since 2000. I think they still maintain a slim margin with musical chair GMs.

    We didn't hire for coaching talent, we hired for low price help. Want the best coaches, spend all the money & see who you get. The Bills paid the NFL equivalent of a cup of soup from a Jimmy Lube diamond vending machine, 2 / 7 not suited on the poker cup's pull tab.

    I have an awful feeling that this coach QB combo is going to make most wish for Gailey and Fitz again

    Our financial investment in the coaching staff was low grade & that's the type of coach we got, one that's going to get low grades.

    I don't expect any changes til after a year under the new owner.

    The new owner is going to want to get a hands on approach to the entire staff before making decisions on who to let go.

    I don't think anyone will get fired until a new owner is in place. But I would suspect we'll be well under .500 by then so yeah, I can see Schwartz getting the interim label.

    Don't bother fighting people on this. They may be right about the Bills stinking, but there is absolutely nothing wrong for actually waiting until the actual event in question happens. In fact, it is completely 100% reasonable to do so.

    They are still gonna be terrible though doh

    My expectations went to almost nothing when I heard the QB reports, I guess that the coaches just wanted to holdout for the best (Goodluck with that).

    No don't get me wrong there is virtually no chance, but whatever. If people want to wait and see it's not without legit reason.

    Yeah I've heard that every year since this website has been in existence. And every year, a craptacular preseason led to a craptacular regular season.

    Tit for tat every year, yet people just chalk it up. Just visit the annual calendar I created for reference sake.

    My hopes are that the defense steps up and helps the offense. Field position, turnovers, etc.
