Re: Week 14: Buffalo Bills (6-6) @ Philadelphia Eagles (5-7)

That's saying that Marrone's coaching is worth at least two more wins then Ryan's 6 at the moment. I don't know if I'd go that far, but it would be interesting to know. Personally, I think only the greatest coaches can coax multiple extra wins out of a team while the majority of coaches all end up about the same.

He left on his own, though. So this isn't a Scottenheiner in SD forced out after 14 wins situation.

Bills simply aren't good enough. Yesterday's game was a decent effort until the Eagles DL just started destroying the Bills OL. And this was a matchup of a DL (Cox) against an OL (Incognito) who are both rating as top at their position this season. I think we missed Gilmore too as Philly threw on McKelvin often.

I'm beginning to think Watkins ain't as good as 1) he thinks he is and 2) everyone thinks he is. Taylor gave him plenty of opportunities... how many did he win? He's not even close to the level of some of the best in the league. The best go and take the ball, Watkins didn't do that yesterday. There's guys doing more with less. Sammy ain't there yet. Maybe he'll take off next season...

Our DL just doesn't get the push it has in the past few years. Yeah, we're missing Kyle Williams but still... where was Dareus, Mario, and Hughes yesterday? Besides in the neutral zone all day? Also, giving away football fields worth of penalties is a good way to lose ball games.

Maybe it was naive to think this team was going to be the same as last year, but better offensively and coaching wise. Maybe it's another next year for this team. But at 6-7, I don't care what you thought of the Bills coming in to the year, is a disappointment. We added all these players and were under .500. Unacceptable.
