Gilmore having another outstanding game.
-
Jimbo on the sideline. Put him in coach.
Or give him the head set and the call sheet and let him coach.
-
The team looks like it MAY have quit. Either that or they're simply being seriously outplayed, but I wouldn't discount the former possibility. The players could be sensing blood in the water too.
Yep.
-
It is over.
No amount of heat maps or excuses are saving him now. This is the final act.
I think he is gone in the morning.
-
With a loss to the Steelers , the Bills almost nonexistent playoff hopes will be extinguished. If you are going to change HC, it's not a bad idea to get it out there right away. Go interim at HC and start your inquiries early for interviews during the playoffs. Not all that far fetched. It's how to do business in the NFL.
Agree. Get a headstart.
-
The LORAX!!!!!
-
Pathetic D letting Bell escape. If this is Rex's last act plays like that are a fitting end.
-
If this is true... let HIM pick the coach.
-
People here assume this. Whaley has never said anything like that. All we know is how enthusiastic he was with Rex and the meetings they had and how he was gushing after they hired him.
No, I was told it by someone who would likely know and who I have no reason to disbelieve. Take that how you want. My understanding is that Whaley was asked to rank the candidates after the first round of interviews and Hue was ranked number 1.
He may have done worse than Rex in which case I'd have fired him and the GM who hired him.

I think just on Dareus if you are going to use him as a space eating nose tackle then there is no way he is worth that contract. If you are paying an interior penetrating pass rusher (which is what he was under Pettine and and Schwartz) then those guys are worth paying because the fastest way of applying pressure in this ball out quick type era of offense is up the middle. I think they have gone back to Dareus rushing a bit more in the games he has played so far this year. If you use him that was he is worth the money, as a DT space eater to clog up running lanes you are right nobody is worth that.
EDIT: Whilst you know Bill I am bigger Whaley fan than you that disconnect between the way we have paid Dareus and the way the coaches have used him is concerning.
-
.500 or better in each of the past two seasons puts us in an exclusive club? If so, imagine what Rex (as coach) could have done if he had the right horses in the barn? Doug is the one who put this team of mules together...Rex is just playing the hand he was dealt.
Or Whaley has given him the horses and the coach is a donkey?
This is one of the reasons you should let your GM run the football side of the organisation. If you do that and tie the two together the you don't have this question mark about where liability falls.
-
Who was the GMs first choice last time?
You know the answer to that question. He is currently winless but that doesn't mean he wouldn't have been a better fit here at the time of the appointment. If Hue had come here and failed then I think it is easier to say Whaley has failed as well.
-
He's not a great NFL coach. But he's won more than he's lost. That makes him a better-than-average coach.
173-162-1.
Hmmm. He has had many more losing seasons than winning seasons.
This would be his TENTH losing season against 6 winning seasons and 5 8-8s.
The one thing I will say for him is his winning seasons tend to be big winners. 3 of those 6 have been 13-3 seasons.
-
EXACTLY... -He's a "Kim" QB, and I'm starting to REALLY like that woman's style... If Kim wants to see Cardale, #7 goes in. -Period.
I seriously hope if we lose Sunday management do mandate that Cardale goes in the last 3 games. We may as well have a look at what we have.
-
another reason to go
I think that sounds like a reason to let him pick his own coach and let him and his team have their shot at a high round Quarterback.
If he had done a bad job in other areas I'd say don't give him those shots but he hasn't.
If the Bills want to clear house I could understand that. But when it comes to ranking what is holding this team back Doug is way down the list as far as I am concerned. If I was Terry Pegula I would be keeping him and stepping back myself.
-
Oh and just to add.... whatever the rights and wrongs of McCoy that Chip Kelly is an ego maniac moron out of his depth in the NFL is now pretty close to being established fact.
-
Whaley has done no better than those before him and is responsible for very poor offensive talent, he needs to go.
Whether judged by wins or losses, success in the draft or street free agents found that is simply not true. What he hasn't done yet is find a Quarterback and a coach and they are the two pieces that matter most.
-
I don't have my games mixed up, he shouldn't have been playing at all.
They wasted important drives catering to him that day.
Gillislee was poised to tear that Dolphin D up.....his numbers that day are tamped by that bizarre wildcat call late in the game but he was his usual, highly productive self.
When Gillislee had a sore hammy though.......they sat him. Because they COULD.
When McCoy says he's playing, he is getting the carries for good or bad.
Ahh sorry. I misunderstood. I thought you were saying they should have been throwing it more. I agree Shady should not have been out there against Miami.
-
I heard him today also. Don't forget he threw ownership in there too. So I think TPEGS is going to have some say in this whole Tyrod saga.
Oh good. Kim will probably decide whether he stays as the Quarterback by how much he knows about the history of downtown Buffalo.
-
He's considered a middle of the pack QB by fans who just see highlights of scrambles and bombs on broken coverage plays, but I doubt NFL GMs are overly impressed.
Sure he'll get contract offers and a chance to compete on some other QB-less team and he might even start. But he's unlikely to ever see a playoff game from a spot other than the bench.
If the Bills can renegotiate with him for a much lower # I'm not opposed to keeping him for another year. Obviously they need to draft someone in the spring.
Yep. I'd put money on the fact that he is seen as a low end starter by GMs in the league in the same was ay Fitz was. One of the best 32 but a guy you should always be looking to upgrade.
-
Never was this more evident than the Miami game.........where pressured to give Shady touches......Lynn cost the team a football game. Probably the most costly loss of the year to date.
I think you might have your games mixed up. McCoy only rushed 8 times that game and when he went out they only ran MG 5 times.
If anything I thought they abandoned the run too easily in Miami.
-
The 9AM EST starts are no more. The games are going to be synced with the 1PM EST starts
It will probably mean I go to fewer games. I liked the fact that I could go to Wembley or Twickers and then get in the pub and at least see redzone.
If it means trying to follow the Bills through text updates on my phone then I'd rather stay home.
-
Taylor is considered a middle of the pack starter outside of Buffalo fan boards. He will be heavily courted. Wait and see.
No he isn't.
-
Here is a better idea. We have a decent GM let him do his job and let him hire a new coach? Let him get his first choice this time.

I love Shazier coming out.
