Bleeding Bills Blue

I dunno - we ran flutie out of town after his greatest game...

Eh - weren't they at like midfield when he ran out of bounds though? With 2 minutes left?

Constantly cycling guys in and out year in year out, and they always put a solid unit on the field. Hard to argue against this guy TBH. They traded their best 2 defenders for a 1st round bust (to make the $$$ work), 1 2nd round pick ( a guard), and a 3rd round pick for 2017. They replaced them with castoffs Chris Long, and Shea McClellin. They also get a ton of snaps out of a 6th round rookie. Their shut-down corner was undrafted and starting by the end of his rookie year and has since become somewhat of a stud. As much as you say - praise belichick and the scouting... when does actual coaching start to get more out of players like long, sheard, and McClellin?

And Doug can learn from him how a successful organization is run. Accountability, confidentiality, and results-driven. How to game plan for an opponent, and how to manage a game. If he does these things as he learned from Bill, we could be in business.

We need 2 STARTING safeties, at least 2 lb's definitely 1 or 2 to start, probably a corner, a RT upgrade, and a couple WRs to at least field a full roster. Let's add a couple QBs to the list.... Oh and a HC who wants to work for an organization that is a complete cluster. All with relatively limited cap room because DW squandered it all on a DT for the 28th best rushing defense in the NFL, an OLB who can't sack the QB, and a safety who's neck is now held together by screws. He's wasted draft capital in ill advised trades. I like Whaley - I think he's a good talent evaluator. But when you put it like that... he should probably be fired right? We need a good HC, for ANY of this to matter. And it's not going to happen.

He's under contract - so for the people saying he "won't want to come back"... he doesn't have a choice if we pick up the option. If we cut him - Whaley had better have a realistic backup plan beyond re-signing EJ, or bringing in some cast off. There will be a drop off, and I feel like saying there wouldn't be is not realistic. The fact is - the defense let this team down. We were supposed to be good on defense, and we were not in the last 2 years. That is the reason we are where we are. You can throw a million advanced stats at me about the offense, scoring, 3 and out % or whatever. But the fact remains that our defense let this team down. We were shredded by Ajayi twice, Bell once, Carr once, russel wilson, brady, etc. 3 200 yard rushers? Allowed over 30 PPG in 8 losses? Coverage problems, miscommunication , tackling problems all season. 0 accountability.

It's like win-win for Tyrod. He's benched after throwing for 300 and 3TDs. Either sticks with a new HC (and gets paid), or goes somewhere else, and probably still gets paid (probably less, but probably still a pretty decent chunk of change).

Points allowed in losses - 13, 37, 28, 41, 31, 38, 27, 34... Thats 30.75 points allowed per game in losses. Which if we had through 15 games, would be dead last in the NFL in points allowed. We gave up 3 200 yard rushers. Those are staggeringly bad numbers...

I get why u do it... just a bad look right after he just lit it up

If and when we fire Whaley... wasting money on this bozo could be one of the biggest reasons

You can run the ball with Brady at qb as well...

Such a b"""h call... grow a pair and win the f-:king game

Pathetic effort by the d. Def the front 7. 31 should be enough

Well no one to blame here but chicken sh*t coaching. Bye Rex.

300 yards!

Wow carpenter

One of brandon's cronys! Drain the swamp!! Clean house!! Make Buffalo Great again!!

I have no knock on the guy - he seems poised and has a good arm. My only thing is - people brought it up after that Thursday game. And in that game he didn't really do anything.

Yeah - that NE game Peyton made a few plays in the first quarter. Then refused to throw that back breaking pick that NE was looking for.

I watched the game - and it was totally a Tyrod style game. 150 yards passing 1 td 1 int. The won because they had enough of a run game, and got some big plays on defense. Outgained 470 to 286 on offense. And we're praising the QB? They got 7 first downs through the air and 15 total. 33% on 3rd down. What are people praising?

Neither were very good tacklers. Byrd had other in the box safeties, so he was more the center fielder.

Who is he considered better than? Fitz/Petty Browns mess Brock O. Bortles Where does that leave Flacco, Luck, Siemien, mariota, rivers, a. smith, tannehill, dalton... that they aren't being ALL considered better than TT for this game? Weird.

We needed a pass rusher - that was clear. He had a 1st round grade by most people's opinions. He was probably the #2 pass rusher, but Ogbah wasn't far behind. To many who would've liked WR's, none of them really stood out as 1st round talents - thus that would be a reach. Everyone talks Fuller, but we were much more likely to draft size in Treadwell (who fell because he was slow at the combine), or Doctson (not a great route runner). I think we got a solid contributor in the mid-late first round. That he was on defense means everyone considers it a Rex pick. The fact really was that outside of a couple top end offensive players, this was a defense heavy draft. Missing camp and a ton of practice definitely hurts. He didn't get a chance to work much against NFL tackles/guards, practice different rush moves, or learn the defense. For that reason i think its a tad early to be worried.

I look at it like ur abandoning ur brothers before the biggest game many of them might ever play... just wait til a qb does it. How much can 1 day of insurance with like a 10 mill payoff possibly cost a rich university? Maybe use some of that money u make off of their jersey sales and bring back NCAA football video games. Pool that money as some kind of insurance policy for players.

Not sure EJ was that guy - but i don't know why we never tried it. I like it though. Get a guy who just runs our 2 minute offense. If Tyrod gets hurt - we just play no-huddle the rest of the game. We can also plug him in at the 2 minute warnings and cycle them in and out if we want. Disrespects Tyrod - but if we win you'll look like a genius.
