So, I can see disregarding individual advice on players. It is football after all. The value would be in shaping a more general direction. Overall strategy. What is it that the team sees as its strategy to compete year in and year out? What do the Bills believe about how to win in the NFL? It just boggles my mind the Roman firing and start of the season. I'm fine with the firing an happy Rex has been forced to distance himself from embracing a lack of modern offensive propensities, but I don't get the Pegula's snap reaction. Were they not paying attention when the hired Rex and throughout last season? Do they, and perhaps Whaley as well (personally I never thought Rex was Whaley's hire), have any kind of lasting strategy for competing? PS: Also, I assume everyone on this forum is smart enough to know Rex was forced to fire Roman. And sure, they're the Browns so who cares. He's only been there 1 year though, so we'll have to see. Based on what I know about that guy though, I have a hard time imagining him hearing a guy talk about building the entire team to pound the ball and rely on its ability to stop the other teams from scoring and then recommending that the team hire him and build a team that way.

I see a lot of posts here referencing Bills analytics, usually sarcastically. Do we really have high-level guy that looks at the game like that and is also influential in our organization? For example, DePodesta (Jonah Hill from moneyball) is the "chief strategy" guy for Cleveland as of January. I ask b/c the discussion lately has been a lot about ground and pound v. passing league. I would assume that a team with an analytical strategy at the top would probably not have hired Rex and Roman in the first place...

EJ needs to go. There are multiple QBs available every year that are better than EJ (and that's saying something).

If we reach 0-5 then we best finish last.

Having the same number of starters, but a higher percentage of them being UDFAs, means that you suck at drafting more. Just want to point that out.

I think Whaley has been good for us

I think Richie is my favorite Bill now. Lots of other good ones, of course, but Richie is a great signing I hope he finishes what is left of his career as a Bill.

It was stupid and wouldn't work that way either. I hate to say it, but Urban Meyer could coach this Bills offense better than our current staff.

They lined up ready to play the Tyrod they faced in practice 2 years ago. Then they did.

Very early? If we lose to the Jets if is over.

Bad link.

If anything like this happened to Tyrod all in one game we would be out of our minds on this board. Also, Tyrod would be dead.

Can you guess the top guy from 2015? These are your top 10, who made the most? It's real dollars taken home from football, so no alternative income taken into consideration and taxes are factored in. Only check link after you vote (unless you have no honor). http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/25423804/agents-take-the-real-highest-paid-players-of-2015

Yes of course they can. They were injured beyond the point of reason last year. If the offense stays healthy and doesn't put the defense in a tough spot we'll be better.

If memory serves, Cam went out there and threw for 400+ yards, 3 TDs, ran all over the place, and generally lit the world on fire.

The bottom line is that if we lose to Ravens it means something, another .500 season. Ravens suck. Good teams will beat the Ravens this year. Are we a good team? Tune in, 1pm CBS next Sunday.

I would love it if we signed this guy. If Wood had him and Incognito by his side, they would form a pretty good core IMO.

Cardale was a great pick.

3 point dog is a bit much. I'll take it.

...the last great class

I can see a possible loss to the Jets putting us at 2-2 but I don't see us losing to Pats. They're not Gods, it's going to be real rough on them to start the season they're just missing too much. Agree that Arizona will be too much to handle in week 3. Don't see us losing to the Ravens under any circumstance.

Bills open on the road against the .500 talent Ravens group that may well finish in the bottom 1/3rd of the league. Bills take the game with the defense playing better and the offense rushing for 150+ yards. Then the Jets come to town 4 days later. Bills win in very competitive nail-bitter. The 2-0 Cardinals then come into town hot and hand the Bills their first loss of the season. Bills travel to Boston and beat a Brady-less, Dion Lewis-less Pats team that has only 1 win 4 weeks into the season. Meanwhile, elsewhere in the division, the Dolphins have beaten the Browns and Pats but lost their opener on the road at Seattle as well as a road trip to Cinci. What do you think? Probable? This would put us at 3-1 with head-to-head wins over Pats and Jets. With the first quarter of the season under our belt, we are leading the division and are 1 game ahead of the Jets and Dolphins and 2 games ahead of the Pats.

Bosa loses, and both sides are idiots. Bosa should sign. Chargers should trade him as soon as they can get a great deal for him.

This isn't a problem, he'll be fine.
