but then they would keep moving the bills into the hardest division....(sarcasm)

the "reporting" structure is fluid. whaley answered that several times by saying it will play itself out in the interview process and whatever is best for the TEAM. that's code for all options on table. not wanting to get boxed in for a cetain type of coach.....a first time head coach like Anthony lynn may not have a problem reporting directly to GM doug whaley where as a candidate like tom coughlin may want more power and direct line to the Pegula's.

boom....outstanding....worth repeating

#1 - Sammy is a stud #2 - the bills paid a heavy price to get him using 2 years worth of first round picks. #3 - this is a text book example of competing philosophies of trading up (putting all your eggs in one basket for 1 player) vs trading down (picking up extra picks, spreading out the risk of injury over several players and usually lowering your total cap hit in the process compared to the 1 stud). #4 - a 1st round pick can usually be flipped for a 2nd & 3rd rounder. so in sammy's case you could say he cost the bills two seconds and two thirds (4 players). in 2014, Sammy has a $5.0 mil/yr cap hit. Kouandro $1.2 mil and preston brown $0.75. so Sammy cost $5 mil/yr while the total cap hit of two 2's & two 3's is $4 mil/yr

ABSOLUTELY !!.....I think that they were trying establish that Whaley is "the man" going forward with the coaching search....but it looked awkward with just 1 person and whaley isn't a good public speaker.....they really needed Brandon's polish and corporate speak to support the GM , especially knowing he would come under heavy fire.

As Whaley evaded most of the questions and gave himself plausible deniability for anything that would reflect poorly on his performance, I almost felt sorry for him … almost. You know how uncomfortable you feel at a children’s pageant when a cast member struggles with a song or lines? That was Whaley as he was challenged over half-truths or downright disingenuousness. http://www.oleantimesherald.com/sports/whaley-didn-t-help-explain-bills-decision/article_2f25f046-d174-11e6-8a94-6b6c602da9c7.html

exercise in futility nothing whaley could have said positive that would have satisfied the press all they want are scalps.

the press looked worse than whaley

rex knew this was his last season back in September. rex was fired before the end of the season because he insisted on playing TT after bills were eliminated from playoffs. it is not uncommon for a head coach to report directly to an owner. rex is motivated to win now. doug is motivated to look forward. pegs listened to both.....dougs view won....rex was fired.

geez....actually feeling sorry for doug

2016 ....run deep 2017 ....throw short ??

next question

cardale jones -1 Robert woods +6 percy harvin +11 Jerome felton +13 COLTON SCHMIDT +16 EJ manuel +22 Brandon tate +48

lynn has lost every game he has ever been an NFL head coach.

in case any of you miss the presser...here are some are Whaley's remarks: we are obviously disappointed with the outcome of our season. our entire focus will be on getting to the second season of playoffs. we will conduct an exhaustive search for a new head coach. no decision has been made on the future of tyrod taylor. we are going to develop our draft board like we always do. research every position from top to bottom. we are in full evaluation mode regarding all of our free agents. we are going to leave all options on the table.

aren't the colts the 3rd place AFC South team ?

10 points in zero seconds

7th scoring offense 28th rushing defense yep, the QB is the problem....(sarcasm)

dareus QUIT on his teammates...just slightly different than Mario (CANCER). got himself suspended. then came back completely out of shape (SELFISH, LAZY, DRUGGIE) he fancies himself a penetrating DT...not a NT. he was asked to stop the run....he gave a half ass effort in the classroom knowing the playbook (not smart & CANCER) and on the field he was manhandled this season. comes to meetings late....habitually....no self discipline. that causes huge dissension in a locker room ...hence Sammy and shady speaking out. (CANCER) guy is in COMPLETE DENIAL.....team announces he is entering rehab...HE NEVER GOES......(more CANCER)

marcel is a selfish, immature, lazy, druggie.....and now apparently not too smart CANCER on this team. what a long term disaster on our hands.

look at all the man games lost by starters: Sammy, shady, dareus, wood, woods, seantrel, shaq, ragland, cordy, kyle, aaron Williams just getting healthy will be a big improvement in talent

all projected first round draft picks should sit out.... it's nothing personal, just business.

in responding to a question about his perceived drop off in play......Gilmore recently complained/mentioned that the bills in Rex's system, played more man to man than any other team in the league.

Last year, 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick had three different offseason surgeries that kept the 49ers from cutting him before April 1 and avoiding his $11.9 million base salary. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/12/29/report-tyrod-taylor-has-severe-groin-injury/

if Taylor can’t pass a physical before the third day of the next league year, the Bills will be stuck with Taylor and the $30.5 million. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/12/29/report-tyrod-taylor-has-severe-groin-injury/
