Whaley did get a bad rap & deservedly so with some of them ! The Sammy move was foolish especially when the likes of OBJ was still on the board when they picked , but for the most part Whaley got the players the coaches wanted . He couldn't help that the differences in the coaching schemes & such he was getting some talented players. On the contract side of things could be another thorn in his resume !! The Dareus & Fitz deals were some terrible deals & who ever agreed to them should have been fired !! Especially when you think of the Dareus deal ! Wouldn't you think there would at the very least be a clause in the contract that would say something to the effect that if he is caught again breaking the rules that his deal could be void f some of the cash plus it should have had incentive based packages . I hope that whoever is the one agreeing to the deals now has a little more common sense when it comes to the inner workings of these contracts & give the Bills a out of some sort given the same type of situations !!! But Whaley was a good evaluated of talent i thought !!

Well when your top payed guy is playing at half throttle because now he has to follow the rules like every one else & will only do as much as needed to stay viable that is about 1 or 2 sacks every couple of games that they could add but can't while he sulks !!

A Big part of the reason why i have all but quit watching the All About Me League i would just like to watch football with out all the BS !! But until that happens ill be doing other things ... like reading what you all have to say about the play !!

He apparently was given a lot of freedoms being "Mr. Big Stuff" before McD & company came to town but he isn't worth what they are paying him !! It wouldn't hurt my feeling to let him go i just wish they could dump his contract with him but i don't know if anyone other than the Bills are that stupid to pen a contract like that & then sign it ...

Hopefully that is the Bills of the past !! A lot of the contracts they give like this one & the Fitz contract made no sense it's like a second grade math student put them together !!

Ever since the brain child that changed MNF from a FREE show on ABC to a ESPN show of which you had to have a cable subscription i would think the ratings have been on a downward trend ! Not to mention when Al Micheal's (the best football announcer left from the golden era of football) moved to SNF , MNF was doomed !! SNF has replaced MNF as the game of the week & if the folks at ESPN/ABC can't figure that out then they are right up there with he politicians !! When ever you have free verses pay to view free is going to win , not to mention IMHO people are getting tired of the "it's all about WATCH ME" league that the NFL is & has turned into ! It use to be Joe to Jerry , Dan to Duper, & Kelly to Andre, with a fist pump & a high 5 on the sideline now each game has it's game plan & it's celebration plan !! Players practice what stupid celebration they can do when they score & who can out do who during that celebration not to mention all of the other distractions in the game today ... We use to go to watch football to forget about the crap that was involved in every day life & now it is just an extension of it , Just play football as it was meant to be & leave the other stuff to your off the field time !! But MNF will never be the icon of football that it once was because the powers that be will always try to make perfection better like the NFL trying to put games in london, mexico & where ever else they can they will never learn !!

BS !! Plain & simple !! He's held to a higher standard because he's playing in a league where the players are suppose to be the best of the best not mediocre or middle of the road . Taylor has been decent at what he does but in B/lo seeing as the fan base & the team has been starving for a NFL caliber QB he will be put under a microscope every time he turns around especially when he has Tommy B. in the same division . Taylor is a really good game managing QB but when the chips are down & he needs to carry the team he doesn't do it , thats where the comparison is . Brady can take just about any one at the WR position & he makes them better because of how good he is & thats what TT & many other QB's around the league don't do plain & simple ...

Trying to figure out what a new coach (or any coach) thinks is pretty baffling to say the least ! They are suppose to be real smart people but when it comes to some common sense ways of thinking of certain things that seems to go out the window (a lot like politicians) If Rex would have got off his high horse & just entrusted the D to Schwartz COMPLETELY he would probably made the play offs in his 2 years here especially seeing as while he was here the Bills had the top running game in the league , but that would have been to easy !! Now with McD & company they have done just the opposite as the OP has said ! If they would just look at the 3 different pieces that makes up the team & see if they are doing well or really well as far as the offense was with the running game & just leave it alone or at least keep the former O line coach Kromer to work within the new offense but again that would have been to easy !! I guess thats why we just need to stick to being fans !!

+1

One of the last lines in the post says it all "it doesn't make much sense" There are other ares that really need looked at If the Bills had a legit receiver or 2 I think the running game would be better for it !!

This about says it all !!! http://www.espn.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/29473/production-from-bills-wideouts-could-be-nfls-worst-in-past-17-years

Amen !!

Ain't gonna happen !!

Same as it ever was !!!!

Sign him & A.J. McCaron !!!

In the past it while Rex was here it was the Bills have the scoring power but the D wasn't showing up, but now that the D is showing up & Taylor is taking care of the ball the question is all about TT . Alls the dude does is show up & work his butt off , come game time he's all in & he does his job nine million times better than let's say E J MANUEL but the question still haunts the dude if he is a franchise QB . I think the more comfy he gets in this system & with some more weapons in the WR room he could be a top notch NFL QB ...

These young guys need to go back & watch the likes of Jerry Rice, Earl Campbell, Larry Czonka, & many others that use to be the best of the best & when it came their time to shine they did it with their play not with their mouth . In todays NFL its the "It's all about ME league"!! That's why ratings are down . We have one still on the team in Dareus he now has the big money & he's not playing to win or be the best at his craft he's there to collect a pay check !! McD & company got rid of Sammy before that & maybe impart due to his comment on how he needed to be paid A LOT MORE MONEY ... I hope Sammy has learned a bit about himself & how this is a TEAM sport & it takes more than one player. McD has the Bills playing as a team , not a bunch of ME Stars running around the field ! I think some way Dareus will be gone next year seeing as they have proven that they can do it with out his pro bowl input & he will be the next to hopefully learn something like Sammy did !!!

When did the light come on ?? If you look at what the Bills had as QB's before they got Tyrod we all should be thanking Rex for that one thing insisting that Whaley get Taylor ! Sure the guy ain't no killer B like Tommy or Drew but he has been a good QB in the fact that he isn't throwing a ton of INT's !! Hey we could have went out & got Mike Glennon which at one time i hate to admit i was thinking would be a good thing & has made me realize i am a better fan than a football FO person . So look at the bright side or the silver lining the Bills are in a lot better place now as far as QB's are concerned than a bunch of other teams !!

We as fans for once knew that Gilmore wasn't as good as he thought he was & was going to go for the big $$$ as they usually do & i think that's why him & possibly Sammy are gone . Gilmore & Watkins both had made statements about how they thought they needed to get paid A LOT more cash than they were getting which is what a bunch of players are about & McD & company are continuing to prove they were not needed . Dareus is also finding out he isn't as big a part of the puzzle as he thought he was & the supposed lessor players are stepping up & doing more than what he has done now & in the recent past ... I think next year some how some way Bean & company will find a home some where other than B/lo for Mr. Big stuff & when he gets where he is going he will have some decent games but be less of a factor than thought just like Gilmore !! I believe Dareus is playing at half speed because he is still booty hurt due to McD sending him home & is thinking "they need me I'm a huge part of this D I'll show them & not play hard" & McD is showing him that there is still no I in team !! GO BILLS !!!

Im with you !! L.A. is the same as it has always been as far as the NFL is concerned they are like a paper fire . When the team first got there they were all about it but now that they are there it's back to things as usual & the old fan base that they left would still be going to their supposed crappy stadiums to watch because they love their teams !! But leave it to owners like Jones, Kronke, & others that put greed in front of a fan base that will stick with their team through thick & thin !! I am so glad the Pegs stepped up & bought the Bills !!! I hope that Kronke losses his ass on this stadium thing with Goodell standing right beside him with a dumb look on his face & both of them asking what happened after leaving those other cities hanging with stadiums that they can now barely use !! The NFL with all that is going on today is getting to big for their britches & i hope it continues to bite them where they sit !!

McDermott 1 - Pats/Gilmore 0 Its about time we got one over on Belly check !!

SAME AS IT EVER WAS --- !!!

I thought i would pose the question to the Bills fans What is a band that has "NOT" played a SB half time show that you think is worthy of that task & has the resume to go along with being selected for that show ?? I have heard a lot of bands play for the SB half time show, some were great i thought, only to come on here & see people say it sucked & then the ones that i thought sucked (black eyed Peas) again i would come on here & fans would say it was awesome . Usually the ones that people thought sucked were older groups like The Who, every one if i remember was bashing them for what ever reason (mainly because i think those fans were tone deaf but thats just me) So if you were chosen to the committee that gets to choose who will be a group that would be considered for the gig of the SB half time show who might be the band that would be your write in candidate ?? And the second part of the question who would you have come back to do it again !! My first is AC/DC !!! I have never heard them do a half time show WHY ??? Aerosmith would be my bring back band !! Your turn Bills fans ...

Yes it is i believe he got stepped on in the last game he played but it isn't the foot that he had been rehabbing ...

I think as the season goes on we may see a difference for the better as far as the offense is concerned, well at least i hope so !! It takes a while for the players especially in a new system to 1. get it down & 2. to build timing with in the system not to mention Tyrod has a entire new cast at WR that he basically has never played with & i would say thats huge !! Sure Clay & Oleary have some familiarity with Tyrod & i think it shows to this point but Jones can't seem to find the handle on a ball thrown to him & the rest of the guys are coming along but it's slow !! But i will keep praying GO BILLS !!
