It's too late. The Pegula's should have hired Hue Jackson and retained Schwartz as DC.
But no - they were enamored with Rex's jokes during his interview.
Might as well keep now for his defense and replace Roman with a coach with innovative ideas from the year 2016.

Probably a Dray replacement as Dray looks like a long term injury.
Look up.

The #Bills are waiving Glenn Gronkowski today to make room for Jerome Felton, source said. One FB in, one FB out.

What song is playing the background while this is being read?
Here's what I was thinking...

Good thing we waited for Taylor to "hit."
Oh wait...

Bush must be cut.

Goodbye, cruel world.

I'm sure they wanted to go long a few more times but things were blown up by Baltimore's pass rush. That said I think the game plan was ball control by running more and keeping the ball away from Flacco. Unfortunately the O-line couldn't open holes or pass block for schitt.
Keeping the ball away from an average-at-best quarterback. That was a great game plan in 1971.
The saddest part of all is that you're likely right. These coaches are meathead dinosaurs stuck in the stone ages. The players and fans deserve better.

With Taylor being a backup for Baltimore for four years, it seems the Baltimore D was more than prepared for him today. Taylor was not his usual self as he hurried a lot of his throws resulting in incompletions and seemed to be stuck on just his first reads. IMO, playing against his old team got the better of Taylor today.
It speaks volumes that the Ravens' game-plan was to "make Taylor be a quarterback." They spent four years developing him and didn't make a huge push to retain him.
There's not much respect for Taylor as an NFL Quarterback in that franchise. Looks like they were right about him.

when does Sammy complain about lack of targets?
My hope is that Sammy ripped Roman and Tyrod a new one yesterday and does it again in the film room.
Outside of Sammy, we the receiving options are pretty weak.
Our fourth best wide receiver from last season looks pretty good on a new team.
The receivers are not just fine - they're good. It's the system and quarterback.
-
A bad quarterback can make an average OLine look terrible.
Taylor was a very bad quarterback yesterday. There were plenty of opportunities there when the OLine allowed him time but he wouldn't pull the trigger. His reads are painfully slow and he still has no anticipation. It's incredibly disappointing.
-
Next year's starting QB for the Bills? Tom Brady!
It will only cost us a first round pick and our offense will look pretty good for half a season.
Patriots have too much respect and appreciation for Brady to ever trade him to such a terrible franchise.
-
Next up is the Jets. You have Fitz coming in and the Jets which is a big contrast to the Bills. Maybe Fitz is erratic and inaccurate at times but the coaching staff shows some confidence and guts to open it up a little. The Bills need to do this with TT or the season will be over after the first 4 games.
If Taylor had Fitz's guts he'd be the franchise QB we need. Instead, we have an athletic Trentative Edwards.

I will allow the kids and casual fans here to go on and on with "it's just one game", or "Hey, we just need one guy to", etc etc etc....
To those of us who have been around a while.......the manner in which we played this game has us more bent out of shape than the actual Loss itself.
Exactly.
-
Ravens did not look like a quality football team yesterday. I'd be very surprised if they won more than 7 games.
-
Pretty disrespectful statement there.
Ravens knew exactly what Taylor is. That's why they recognized he was barely even worth having as a backup.
-
Today's team looked like 3-13.
-
I see a team that is actually pretty good with an offense tbat went against a tough defense. You can cry about a 13-7 loss but keep in mind, we only gave up one TD and the Ravens defense played well.
You've got to be kidding me.
This was as bad an offensive performance as we've seen over the last ten years (that's saying something) and you're here trying to put perfume on a pile of fresh poo.
-
Ya.
They lost a close game on the road to a good team. No need for harikari.
Lose at home to mediocrity: then it's time to say WTF.
How do you know the Ravens are good? They didn't look good at all today. The Bills just looked worse.
These are two losing teams.
-
Why is that amazing to people? You're all acting like this team has done ANYTHING to merit people believing they should be listed among the top 6 in the AFC.
Because that's quite the percentage. I would think an average team would get 75-80% tops. I didn't think anyone aside from the worst team in the league would get a prediction that poor from NFL writers.
-
That was the one that got me riled up. Roby should have been ejected.
Funny. That's the one that was legit.
-
Only 1 out of 40 experts polled by newyorkupstate.com predict the Bills will make the playoffs.
98% of NFL writers/experts from NFL.com, PFF, ProFootballTalk, USA Today, CBS, ESPN, etc. who do this for a living do not think the Bills are a Top 6 team in the AFC.
Amazing.

What's odd is that there are exceptions to offsetting rule, but I think it only applies to 15/5. In other words, if one team has a 15 yard penalty and the other a 5, I don't think they fully offset.
It wouldn't surprise me if they expand the exception to basically say personal foul won't be offset.
There should be a difference between a 15 yard pass interference and a 15 yard ejection-worthy personal foul/unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. They shouldn't be treated equal.
If that shot had occurred after the whistle they would have applied the penalty and then the personal foul and it would have been first-down Panthers. That's what they should do. Treat the personal foul like its own entity and not part of the game, regardless of when it occurs.

Looking at the video, it's clear to me that he pulled back when he threw because he was bracing himself for the shot to the head.
So while he did release the ball first, I think the reason it didn't make it past the line was due to the imminent spear.
Ironically, it would have been better if he just held onto the ball.
I'm sorry but this is absurd.
Actually you are wrong.
Summary From The Official NFL Rule Book - Rule 12, Section 2, Article 8
It is a foul if a runner or tackler initiates forcible contact by delivering a blow with the top/crown of his helmet against an opponent when both players are clearly outside the tackle box (an area extending from tackle to tackle and from three yards beyond the line of scrimmage to the offensive team’s end line).
Oh and there is this from 2016 NFL operations:
Then I guess Newton really should have been called for spearing when he used the crown of his helmet to hit the defender in the head after all.

Loyal to the team. Not to the inept coaches.
