May Day 10

It was the most packed I have ever seen a halftime in the seats.

Challenging on a 4 yard gain is puzzling Having a 4 minute drill run out of time, spiking the ball on 2nd and 1 and heading to the tunnel eating a timeout is infuriating. The whole strange 3rd and 4th and short exchange in the 4th quarter. Trying to draw them off, burning a valuable timeout and giving the jets time to collect themselves, then going for it and failing was embarrassing

He was really demonstrative last night... and was open a few times. Woods was open too but is more professional and adult about it.

The jets brought on the 2 consultants the bills should have hired and won 10 games in year one and look pretty good now. Its not rocket science and doesnt need to take 5 years of continuity.

Everyone in the world thought the pegulas would and should bring in a vp for football ops. They didnt. Its their fault. Same mistake with the sabres

They got their teeth kicked in tonight

Hire a president of football ops who can sit there and evaluate for the next 15 weeks

Terry doesnt have a clue in football matters

No

Congrats jimmy. The jets look good

Its the whole picture. Its an awful mess. Major revamping is needed

Whos greg Gabriel?

Nope. Wait for continuity to kick in. Year 1

Last in the nfl in valuation. Lots of envy out there?

Continuity. Be patient

All splitting hairs and arguing aside.... If this team fails this year to the tune of 0-6 wins... would anyone object the bills throwing open a window and letting in fresh air (21st century nfl)? Would pegula searching and finding a completely outside person to fully and without interference head up the football program really set the bills back?

Such a likeable guy compared to the other one (from miami?).

It is worth mentioning that the sales were sluggish and things werent looking good until flutie magic started.

Do we think Tom Brady would have an identical career trajectory if the Bills drafted him instead of the Pats? I dont. I believe a lot of NFL players, even Quarterbacks are a product of their environment. Even if it is "just a quarterback" that is needed.... this franchise has had 16 years + to replace Kelly, most of those years picking in the top half of the draft. Still failed. Has anyone who matters currently at OBD ever identified, obtained, and groomed a decent QB?

I like Rex Ryan a lot. I wanted him to coach here. I like his personality and would love to "have a beer with the guy". I would love it if he and his brother were able to run the table here, win the Superbowl, dedicate it to their dad and go down in football history. However, you see the things that Jets fans/media as well as the entire Football world warned us about when we get excited. Too much chatter/showmanship, lack of discipline, sloppy in-game management. It has all come to fruition. It makes me doubtful this is going to produce any positive results

Continuity personified. Should be a super bowl contender any decade now

What if they win tonight???

I don't think he 'gave up' as much as he didn't want that structure again and to surrender control. At that point the circled the wagons and successfully isolated the organization from the outside world.

Someone said in this thread or a similar one.... something like: The gap between most NFL players isn't that large. It all boils down to preparation, coaching, and risk management/aversion. That is the Patriots' biggest 'secret' and why they always think it is a good idea to make 20 trades at the draft for quantity. The Bills still trade up, have foolishly spent up to the cap, constantly shoot themselves in the foot with Personal Fouls and silliness, shoot themselves in the foot with "communication issues", getting offensive plays in late, and depending on Rex Ryan throwing the challenge flag based on what angles the scoreboard shows and the player lobbying in his ear. Not to mention the constant and endless pattern of leaks and distractions coming from OBD on every subject.

Outside the heart of the Jim Kelly time period ('88-'95): 1 playoff win in the Superbowl Era Outside those years: 42 seasons, 8 playoff games. 1 win, 8 losses. 2 Home Playoff Games. Not a very good comparison to Green Bay and their "patient" fans I feel like Ralph's "vision" for this team should have been re-vamped quite a bit more.
