I thought Butler was a 3-4 guy and the Bills were going back to 4-3?

Doesn't Waley have a connection to Haley? I bet he wants to interview him.

Or Dave Toub. I wonder if Joseph is still going to interview? I hope not.

I don't know enough to judge Terry Pegula's leadership. Half the stuff we read about him and the organization is wrong. And the half that I think might be right doesn't make me believe he's a poor leader. Until I learn more, I reserve judgment. ^^^^^This

100%. I'm tired of this type of statement made by people who think you become that successful because of all luck. I bet everyone one of these NFL owners have made mistakes they wish they hadn't. People over reacting to everything. At least Pegs have shown the ability to learn from mistakes and change. To me the problem is been to stubborn to admit you made a mistake.

Agreed. It doesn't take alot of imagination to hear the excuses of new HC , New QB , need more time.

Heard Vic on the NFL radio a little while ago , and they are still hammering away on the Scheffter report. I'm starting to really worry about this thing with Tyrod. Either these guys are going to have huge egg on their faces or they are on to something. I scared this is going to be rebuild, I've been going back and forth. I wish they would push for the playoffs before engaging in the rebuild.

Another example of personality over substance. Rex can weave a spell, he just can't back it up. Give me a person with substance and can back it up over a good media interview.

No worries. Not meant to make you feel that. You and I agree on an awful lot.

http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2017/1/6/14191124/adam-schefter-tyrod-taylor-buffalo-bills-info-report Trapasso weighs in. I basically agree with him. I do wonder about the Kelly comments though.

Wow! Everytime dude.

You base this on your opinion I'm assuming. Keep in mind since 2014 when they took over the Pegula ownership is now 24-24 50%, prior to that and back to our last playoff appearance it is a 39% winning percentage. Just saying you're entitled to your opinion. Facts say something else.

Thanks for the response, actually refreshing to hear.

Where is our resident expert C Biscuit? Where does she rate?

Have you heard anything about the Lynn interview yesterday that is either positive or negative?

Totally agree with this^^^^^^ It seems like Tyrod is starting to become even more undervalued with each day. The guy is not a bum.

This is the post below on ESPN: I don't take any of this as gospel. I just see the part about Buffalo moving on. It is not what I would do, Short of trading for Philip Rivers, I'm not a Romo/ Cutler guy. I think we are close enough with competent coaching/D/ST that we could have been a playoff team. The Jim Kelly comments as well don't give me a lot of confidence that Whaley hasn't moved on. I want to believe they are false. Not betting my life savings on it though. Scheffter: When the Bills didn't play quarterback Tyrod Taylor in their regular-season finale on Sunday against the New York Jets, it sent the message that the team does not intend to pick up the $15.5 million option bonus in his contract that they have until March 11 to decline or exercise. Picking up the option would guarantee Taylor $30.75 million over the life of the contract, tying him to Buffalo for the next five seasons, and the Bills don't have any intention of paying it. Taylor's core muscle surgery was performed this week with the Bills being aware of, and involved in the process to have it done, per league sources. This was not a surprise to the Bills. Taylor was diagnosed with a core muscle issue late in the season and played with it until Week 17. Bills doctors told Taylor that surgery was possible and they even recommended that he visit Dr. William Meyers in Philadelphia. Dr. Meyers determined there was no medical alternative; surgery was the only option. Taylor's recovery is expected to be six to eight weeks, possibly longer. Buffalo is instead planning to move on from Taylor, despite the fact that their scoring has increased dramatically since he arrived. The year before he got to Buffalo, the Bills were 26th, and they've been 10th and 11th in the two years he has started. He's clearly a huge part of the difference. He also was seventh in Total QBR last season, and ninth in 2016. People in that company get major dollars. With all the recent hullaballo from Kelly, Wawrow and Scheffter It sounds like that is not an impossibility. Unless of course it is all BS, which it always could be. It is a bit disconcerting to hear, when you are a fan that thinks, short of trading, that with TT and a defense we are playoff material. I'm not ready for the rebuild. Then of course you have Whaley saying "we are close"........... http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18412571/nfl-2016-chris-mortensen-adam-schefter-wild-card-notebook-tyrod-taylor-future-buffalo-bills The full link

I'm not buying that this decision has been made to move on from TT, I know Scheffter is reporting otherwise But, If we assume it is true for a second, it means rebuild in my mind. And, that it will be a rookie, not a FA like TT. When I say rookie, that could well mean Cardale Jones competes with a first round pick. What I think some people are missing is that they assume Whaley is gone after 1 year. If it is a rebuld, with a NEW HC, NEW QB, NEW DC etc. I'm not so sure he is gone. There will certainly be plenty of reasons/excuses to some why he should continue. The bar will be pretty low, all the Pegulas need to believe is Doug got the chance to pick his guys and we're heading in the right direction. Having said that I go back to my original comment, I don't buy that the decisions been made. The comment about "we are close", make no sense if that is the case. The fly in the ointment to this theory is the Bills have a trade in mind like Rivers or something. That would change everything. You make some good points about the new HC. Although they do seem to interviewing a lot of inexperienced guys and then there is the Scheffter post.

I jjust heard Jerry Sullivan on NFL radio at 1!!!!! Should be fun. LMAO

The number 10 pick for Rivers would make for interesting discussion topic. Assuming he could be convinced to come here. Is he worth it the pick. I say yes we would be legitimate immediately.

LOL you stole my thunder.

How about Rivers? http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2016/10/6/13184730/chargers-philip-rivers-trade-talk

Just curious why you think Romo is the only upgrade? Not saying he isn't.
