This

Seems like an overstatement of likelyhood. Playing well for three games.......but not exactly a jaugernaught yet...to many problems on the O side yet.

Karlos likely back to pickup the last of his personal belongings........perhaps his fav toaster oven for reheating Bocce's........

Never an NFL down of football. Some learning curve stuff ahead. Not a starter this season....but, next year likely.

He will likely have a new contract who knows where when Raglund returns....unfortunately.

Yep, let J Byrd take a hike.....and the Saints are suffering for ever more......

Cameo appearance for a rookie lb who has never played an NFL down....even in preseason. He is not likely to contribute much this season imho. However, if somebody goes down.....in the LB core, then he will get a real shot real quick. It will be interesting to see if Alexander gets benched while leading the team in sacks. (tied anyhow, Hughes has 4 also) Whaley and Ryan have a lot invested in Lawson, and that may get him on the field more, especially if the Bills are out of the race later in the season. We know that Lawson, being one of their picks, will get his shot sooner or later. And, same with Raglund.....and the likely reason that Z Brown will be elsewhere next year. Won't pay big bucks to keep their #2 on the bench.

Gilmore is an interesting case. Great cover most of the time...intercepts a few....not a league leader, but some anyhow. Doesn't tackle particularily well, and doesn't do returns...doesn't like to hit........his statue last week when the big Rb from NE came at him was a revelation to me. gilmore is a little like neon Dion....great cover, not so much on the run....but he does no returns....thus, he is not Patrick Peterson. He deserves a good but not great contract. Whaley let J Byrd walk, and that was geneus.....based on what Byrd has done in NO.....I think retention of Gilmore is under a 50/50 chance....and, we need a plan B. Darby will hit, and seems like the more complete CB in the long term. Maybe we should let gilmore and resign Zach Brown.....who will get big bucks now based on this years performance....oh, wait, R Raglund is their guy....they will let Z Brown walk also.......

Actually, Oct 30.........not end of Nov.

Not so fast.....10 wins seems like a lot for this crew. Expecially without their #1 receiver.....I don't think the O skill players other than McCoy are up to doing a 10-6 year. Taylor, perhaps....is the other one who could do....and, should 10-6 really happen, would validate TT as a true NFL QB, no matter how he does it.

Frankly, I was surprised at how effective it was against the Pats....like they didn't believe it was coming, and they didn't prepare for it. Expecially with gilly in there.

But, But, But...REX is going to Hollywood!!!.....will not be able to muzzle that clown this week!!!!! OK, Marcel...yes, I agree. Shaq...well, he was a #1.....but he hasn't played a down of NFL football, even in the preseason...not expecting anything from him except maybe cameo appearances.

Yep, he was a total wuss on that play. Didn't want to play football, just wants to cash his paychecks. We should move on from him imho.

Don't hold your breath on that return......

Dareus will help....Shaq....who knows....he might not even make it back on the field this year.

A reasonable version of this test is coming up on Oct 29, 8th game this season at New Era field. I would settle for beating them then.....have to wait for next year for your test. there is still LOTS to improve on, especially on the O side.

If that were to happen, the Bills would likely win.

I am a many decade season ticket holder. for the last 20 years I have been in Sec 112, behind visitors bench, lower bowl. The crowd has significantly changed.....used to be a sitting crowd...now it stands much of the time. Sunday, we were about 50/50......up for all defensive 3d downs......this section was virtually 100% sitting when I moved there 20 years ago....and now has some games with almost all standing. The crowd is no longer regulars...we used to know those who sat next to us....now, they are all owned by folks who sell the tickets in the secondary market...hence the attendees are mostly one time visitors, and don't have any sort of idea they might be infringing on those who have difficulty standing a lot. I am 71, and likely will have to give up the whole sunday event at New Era. I go for the football, not to drink...although we do eat a lot at our tailgate. But, I have to say....the product on the field is a much bigger problem than the standing up. Really tired of paying for a big league experience that hasn't been in the top half of the big league for 16 years. And, not holding my breath this year again. Fans can complain.....not much will be done. I complained about the water fountains being eliminated. Nothing is done about that either.....they want to sell $5 bottles of water. And, last Sunday...you needed a drink out in the Sun on the north side of the stadium.

Mid season firing is extremely unlikely.....Pegs will keep Rex for remainder of season....but, when the season is over, all bets are off. Rex is the blowhard we knew he was and hated in NY. I couldn't understand how they hired him in the first place. The Jets got it right in hiring Todd Bowles. There are a number of qualified candidates in the NFL....for the coaching job. Now, Whaley.....that is another story. He has done a few good things, but is really not getting it done overall The Watkins trade looks bad in retrospect....yes, talented guy, but, at this point, you would have to put him in the injury prone category. That makes him an NFL non producer........at least to the degree he has not lived up to his substantial price. (2 #1 picks) So, I count that as a failure. And, the Manuel pick..another wasted #1....Manuel going the JP Losman route...play out the rookie contract...and out of the league after that. The Shaq Lawson mess. guy was damaged goods....and was not deserving of a #1. Bills have made this mistake before (see Willis McGahee) I admit Raglund was just bad luck, but, there were pre draft concerns there as well in terms of physical condition. Now, does a Jerry Hughes pickup offset a big miss on the #1s...year after year? Not sure...of course, there is always the minority aspect of Whaley being GM......I suspect the league might pressure the Pegs to keep whaley a little longer.....won't see that in the papers, but I sense it.

Actually a legit idea. I don't see it happening, but, they have a need. We got ride of half our rb tandem....why not the other half? Well, wait a minute....maybe that does sound like a little to much free thinking.

Maybe Patrick Peterson

Way to much discussion here about organizational functional issues. My view.....the O was definitely needing something more than it was getting from the coaching staff.....bad play calling, incoherent game planning to some degree. I am not upset about Roman's departure...the O needs fixing. Hoping Lynn is up to the job....I don't think that Pegs/Rex could do this without an adequate replacement on the staff. Lynn obviously has Rex confidence as "Asst HC" (I actually did not know that before this came up) Anyhow...I don't read anything more into the move than they wanted the O in different hands, and they had an alternative available. Good decision imho.........and, about the D..that is a different discussion....the OC change is a stand alone issue.

I buy the logic that if TT is to be discarded/not allowed to finish the contract, then Cardale is the logical starter. But, in what world is REX back if TT screws it up that bad..........and REX has no incentive, then, to play Cardale. So, I am think TT is it for this season baring injury. TT has a ways to go, I have been diappointed in his short throws this year, did not notice that problem last year. He still throws a credible long ball however....that part is NFL arm all the way. I hate to say it....but TT reminds me of JP Losman in the inability to do the short routes. I do think TT has a better head than JP, though. (he would have to, actually) The parallels even go to the point that both are/were model citizens....of course, so is EJ.

There is a problem with having him out every week, even if he tolerates the pain to some degree and there is no reinjury risk. That is the body will do what is necessary to prevent pain....as an involuntary matter. So, when Sammy pushes off....its not full tilt....and, without his speed, he is just a body. The opposition has already caught on to that..........speed now needs to come from elsewhere...Goodwin if he can stay healthy.......Anyhow, I would rather have a healthy body out there....I don't believe an 85% Sammy can succeed in the NFL...the league is just to good overall. He needs 100% to be the player he could be.

No, in one word, No. The Pegs are not micromanaging imho. They may talk to Rex...Rex reports to him/them you might recall. But, I believe REX when he says he made the decision.
