The more interesting question; what if we knew Kap could win 10 games this season for the Bills. Would you welcome him then? 10 wins and still doesn't stand for the anthem.

This kid has every right to protest peacefully and I respect his position. He created a massive distraction in a team game though and he must have known his protest could cost him his career. Not because of his opinions but because of the backlash he knew was coming. He put that at risk - granted for a worthy cause but he did this to himself. I think his political stance is bigger than the game to him now. I want guys that put the team first. No distractions. Right or wrong, I don't think he plays again.

I wouldn't have a problem keeping Doug. I think he's done a good job while in B Lo and particularly this off season. I also agree with the "one voice" strategy the team is working under. Just so tired of the Whaley storey thread this off season and it does seems odd that he has taken a back seat to Coach Mc D? The awkward set up may turn into a distraction. If they are all in on McD than just bring in his people, fire Doug, and be done with it.

The back and forth on this Whaley topic is making my brain bleed. Just fire the poor guy already. I don't think he's been a terrible GM, but he is a PR nightmare and apparently is really difficult to work with. The Pegulas are partially to blame here as they haven't always put him in a position of strength with the media or the HC. Hopefully the learn from this whole thing as owners.

Great post. The Bills haven't had the same feel since his passing. So appreciative for everything this man did for our beloved Bills and pro football in general. Proud he was our owner. RIP. Mr. Wilson. You are missed.

Apologies if this was discussed somewhere here, but what does the hire mean for A.Lynn? Will he stay on as OC?

This Amen brother. Something this organization has failed miserably at over the last 20 years is finding replacements for Marv and Jim. Marv was a leader of men.

just the feeling I get from Whaley as a fan. this next hire is all him and it needs to be a good one.

To add to that, I have no issue with any local Buffalo writer crapping on this team. If the Bills want better PR from local media (and any attention at all from national) then they need to start winning. Do that and the stories from the media will change overnight.

Sully aside; he's not the only one who noticed and is talking about this press conference. It may seem like a small thing compared to what is going on big picture with the Bills, but I think it shows a tremendous lack of leadership by Bills brass. Pegula fired Rex, ultimately it was his decision as the owner. Terry should have called a press conference that day instead of writing some BS statement from behind the curtain. Get out front and lead. What you absolutely don't do is shove your interim HC out there, unprepared, and let him take on the firing squad for you. It's a weak play that makes you (the owner) and the organization look bad. Especially when you consider the fact that A.Lynn was a RB coach just a few months prior. Not sure he's completely ready to be a OC let alone the HC of an NFL team. We need a leader who knows football. Pegula knows he's not that guy. I guess he's rolling the dice that Doug Whaley can fill the roll. Personally, I think Doug is driven more about saving his own ass than working to build a winner and change the culture here.

I love being angry and screaming, especially on Sundays, so for me it's just a perfect fit being a Bills fan. I grew up in the area. Saw all the great teams of the late 80's and early 90's play. Moved to Atlanta in 97, but still love the team. Now my sons are huge Bills fans too.

Respectfully, I don't know anything about the Cubs or their front office or their owner. Honestly, I don't care. I'm a Bills fan and I'm tired of losing. We do agree on crying. Crying about the past doesn't change the future. Smart people making good decisions change the future. Unfortunately, OBD is in short supply of both, thus 17 years of nonsense.

"the last couple of years" LOL. I haven't been happy with this team the last 17 years!! 17 YEARS with not one playoff appearance? 17 years with the nonstop coaching carousel, with no answer at QB, with the stupid Toronto experiment, How does that not qualify the Buffalo Bills as a complete and utter joke of an organization? The Browns have made it to the playoffs within the last 17 years, so yes, we're below that clown show in Cleveland as well.

makes sense if you're trying to lose the game...
