The biggest mistake the Bills made was hiring Rex Ryan (aka "Buffalo Buffoon") At least Russ Brandon found a way to sell tickets! He's great at selling tickets, but he's awful fielding an organization that can win football games. Look at his record as club president. The people he has hired have failed miserably, but the Pegulas love him. If Terry and Kim are happy, then it's a closed case. More Brandon, more Rex Ryan and more losing!

GET LOST! EJ Manuel is not an NFL QB!

Greg Roman has been a big disappointment so far. Do you watch the games? He killed the development of Colin Kaepernick with San Fran. The situation got progressively worse the longer he was there. Under Roman, the 49er pass offense was pathetic. They ranked consistently at the very bottom of the league. In his best year, the passing ranked only 23rd. Sad, but true. The other three years they ranked 29th and 30th twice. Horrible! Overall, the offense never ranked in the top 10 and three years they ranked no better than 20th. His play calling in big games for SF was equally pathetic. Based on history, the alleged dispute between Whaley and Roman is a recipe for disaster regarding Sammy Watkins. Whaley put his career on the line by over paying for Watkins and now he has an offensive coordinator who has a passing offense track record that sucks! If I had to choose I would keep Whaley and dump this inept coaching staff led by the idiot Ryan and his incompetent assistants. The record shows Ryan and Roman are unacceptable options going forward. Whaley could draft a star QB and Roman would ruin him.

Tyrod Taylor can play quarterback. This team needs a franchise coaching staff. The head buffoon needs to be replaced ASAP. It still amazes me how Rex Ryan can talk and joke his way out of his demonstrated incompetence time and time again. As long as people keep drinking the Kool-Aid, Rex will be secure. Sooner or later fans will see that the Emperor has no clothes. (I know it won't happen because Brandon, Whaley and Pegula would have to admit their mistakes!)

yep

How did the NY Jets get so much better and the Bills go nowhere since last year? I've read a few of the lengthy excuses posted above and they don't hold water. Just excuses for losing! The Jets, under buffoon Rex Ryan, were 4-12 last year. Now Ryan is leading the Bills to an under performing season. For example, he has taken a very good defense and turned it into an average defense. Doug Whaley, the much loved GM on TBD, is getting all the credit for all his "great" moves. I don't buy it. He hasn't done so great. Comparing the Jets and the Bills here is what both teams did to acquire a #1 wide receiver. The Whaley Bills traded two 1st round draft picks to pick up Sammy Watkins. The Jets, coming off a 4-12 season with no top receiver, traded a 5th round pick to the Bears for Brandon Marshall. Here are the 2015 stats for both receivers: Watkins 39 receptions, 716 yards, 7 TD, 86 yards after catch. Marshall 89 receptions, 1187 yards, 11 TD, 297 yards after catch [i'm not even emphasizing the fact that Whaley could have had Odell Beckham Jr. if he was such a genius.] How did these moves work out for both teams in 2015? Jets GM Mike Maccagnan made a great move getting Marshall for only a 5th rounder. Whaley made NO such great move! The Jets are 8-5 and the Bills are 6-7. If the Bills "leadership" under Whaley and Ryan is so great, why have they been passed by the Jets with a rookie head coach and a perennial back-up QB leading them? My answer is the Jets GM/Head coach tandem is better than the Bills GM/Head coach. Do you think the Jets are sad that they fired Ryan and Buffalo hired him? They are jumping for joy. Not only did they hire a better coach, but they dumped their garbage in Buffalo! New England will never have to worry about the Bills with Whaley/Ryan making the decisions!!! Stop living in fantasyland. Stop making excuses. The record shows these two have failed repeatedly.

First of all, do you know the statistics of the QB's that Rex Ryan has coached? My guess is that you have NO clue! The Jets went to the AFC championship in spite of Ryan, not because of him. Look what he did to the QB's with the Jets. As head coach of the Jets, Ryan's QB's were among the worst in the league- consistently. He didn't do anything to "coach them up". Nothing. Prior to Buffalo, his QB's had an average QB rating of about 70. To put that in perspective, in 2015 only the pathetic Nick Foles has a worse rating at 69. Prior to Buffalo, his QB's had an average QBR of about 33. To put that in perspective, in 2015 only the pathetic Nick Foles has a worse QBR rating at 30. His QB's with the Jets had more interceptions than touchdowns. He took over the head coaching job from Eric Mangini and as a result the offensive production of the Jets got worse under his coaching tenure! The offense not only got worse, but the defense got much worse as time went by. All his trends were going in the wrong direction. The Bills mistakenly hired a guy on a steep downturn. Rex Ryan also guided the Jets into irrelevancy by 2014 when he led them to a brilliant 4-12 season. Tyrod Taylor has skills which need proper guidance, but he won't get it from Ryan. Rex is a proven failure with QB's. Look at his record before defend this clown!

I thought is was a mistake the very second I heard he was hired. I have no reason to change my mind. He has proven he is still a losing head coach.

Rex Ryan is a proven loser. He has coached well over 100 NFL games as head coach and he still has a losing record. What else do you need to know? Why all the love for Whaley? He paid triple what Charles Clay was worth. He paid double for Sammy Watkins and he has a coaching staff that refuses to pass him the ball. He was instrumental in drafting EJ Manuel in the 1st round. How many HUGE mistakes can he make before people see he has failed? And most of all, the Bills likely extend their non-playoff streak to historic levels!!! Seriously, what else do you need to know?

Have you heard of coach killer quaterbacks? You know, the QB is so bad that he gets the coach fired. Well, the Bills have just the opposite. The Bills have Rex Ryan, the quarterback killing coach. The horrible coaching of Greg Roman and Rex Ryan would kill almost any QB and prevent them from being successful. Rex Ryan's history proves how inept he is. Terry Pegula made a $25 million dollar mistake hiring this loud mouth buffoon! Tyrod Taylor could be a star QB with better coaching and offensive game plans.

The website used age to compare the players which I believe is a total mistake. The key factor should be experience (i.e. games played). Taylor has shown promise, but he is far from earning a monster contract. Some of the comparisons played in Super Bowls and conference championships. This lumping of Taylor into the mix is a joke! If the premise is in error, then the conclusion based on the faulty premise is erroneous. This is a poor argument for paying Taylor $21 million per year. Garbage in, garbage out.

According to the mathematics and statistics, the Bills have about a 20% chance of making the playoffs. The loss to Jax is looking like a killer.

Bills beat Texans Chiefs beat Raiders Yikes!

Thank you Detroit and Cleveland for being disastrous dysfunctional franchises, It diverts the focus from the Bills.

Rex Ryan for football. (Donald Trump for the rest of the known universe.)

The Bills had no QB last year and the defense was much much better. Your argument doesn't hold water. The coaching of the defense last year was superior to this year. Period. Rex Ryan and his idiot twin brother have made a reputation as defensive specialists that is largely fiction. Jim Schwartz was a much better defensive coordinator than the current regime. The Pegulas erred big time hiring Rex Ryan. You would think Ryan was a rookie head coach with all the tactical and strategic errors that occur every game. What idiot drops Marcel Dareus into pass coverage? Seriously, how can people defend his ineptitude? Smart wins, stupid loses! This is why has Ryan been a career loser!

Hopkins has been targeted 137 times. Watkins has been targeted 38 times. Hopkins has caught 76 balls. If Watkins had been targeted at the same rate, he would project to 90 receptions. This is another example of horrible coaching and tactics from Rex Ryan and Greg Roman. You can't win with talented players if you have inferior coaching, but you can win with superior coaching. The Bills erred massively hiring Rex Ryan!

Rex Ryan is not a good head coach. His record proves it after many years. He is still a sub .500 coach. His teams are not well organized and they lack discipline. The game management is in disarray at times and the clock management is brutal. Time outs are wasted routinely. He seems to lack the necessary intelligence and tactics to remedy these errors after many years. Pegula has wasted a lot of money on this blowhard buffoon of a coach! Ryan has been a clown for years (and he is proud of it) and there is no reason to believe he will change his unsuccessful ways now. He gets all the publicity, but he rarely backs it up on the field. p.s. The offensive coordinator is vastly overrated too.

It was an ugly game played in which neither team really deserved to win. It is easy to see why New England has dominated the division for 15 years. They play smarter period. The victory was achieved in spite of the Bills coaching and not because of it. I could list at least 10 egregious (avoidable) errors that the Bills coaches committed. What team blows all their timeouts by the beginning of the 4th quarter? Inexcusable! Fortunately, the Jets were terrible too! The turnovers were decisive. In the end, it is a victory, but the Bills have massive room for improvement in the coaching department. At times the players on the field looked totally confused from the lack of direction coming from the sidelines. If the team hopes to progress, this team needs better discipline, organization and leadership. BTW, the TV coverage (before and during the game) was horrible. It was like a Rex Ryan documentary. Pure overkill by the media.

John Miller is getting destroyed at left guard!!!

I think everyone should take note that the rating posted was done by PFF the first week of October. Things have changed since then.

How did that Marshawn Lynch thing work out for them?

You are correct!!! What the heck is Watkins "thinking?" It is not a good strategy to belittle the fans that support your team and pay your salary. As someone who has contributed virtually nothing to the Bills thus far in his career, he might consider being quiet. If Watkins wants to silence the critics then he should produce on the field. If he succeeds, the critics will disappear. If he remains on the trainer's table the rest of his career and keeps making idiotic comments by himself (or through his agent) then he will have a miserable time in this league. Many people believe it was a mistake to spend two 1st round picks to draft him. Watkins is doing his best to prove them to be correct.

The first step in your recovery is to admit you have a problem. You will never be well until you can face your denial. EJ Manuel is not now, nor ever will be, a quality NFL QB. Move on already!!!

When will Doug Whaley stop posting these, "in defense of EJ" threads? It's getting old Doug. Just admit that drafting EJ Manuel in the 1st round was a huge mistake and move on. The Bills organization blew it by drafting him. It's now a matter of cutting your losses.
