Come on man, after a game like that! Jeez

We finally started to figure it out! Love it. It feels so much better going into the offseason.

Go Bills! They are my team. I'm not so soft as to get all gushy about Channy baby and Fitz baby. Same kind of mentality I hear about EJ, but he's a nice kid. BS about it being too serious, that's soft. IMO

Bill, who do you consider the better GMs, just out of curiosity? I'm pretty sure whoever you come up with will have both his big hits and huges misses. The Job is being able to produce a talent base that the coaching staff can win with. A reasonable argument can be made that the Bills have better players than they did 4-5 years ago. And, that they are strong enough talent wise to be a playoff team. I think you can question the coaching hires, although I'm not convinced that this all on Whaley.

This is overly harsh. To be fair you have to include the successes as well as the complaints. Darby, Karlos, Tyrod etc. all count too.

I would throw in as a weakness, his apparent tendency to favor smallish defenses that rush the passer, but can be bullied around by physical offenses.

Seems about right, given there are 2 sidelines and 1 middle. At any rate, it has worked pretty well fora 100+ QBR.

Same to you. Almost lost my 41 year old sister a couple weeks ago, so it is an extra special year for our family. Merry Christmas to everyone and god bless our troops.

Says who? You LMAO. Another Tyrod isn't the answer, because I said so guy. You can't say that without saying WHO the alternative is. I'm tired of those who are spouting off without a good alternative. And don't say you want a franchise QB through the draft. Everyone wants to draft that guy, you cannot guarantee that and the games go on. So TT is a solid NFL QB and he could be the answer to the playoffs.

Reggie Ragland (6-2,258) LB from Alabama in round 1 and Jayron Kearse (6-4,220) safety from Clemson in round 2.

Yep. When I heard that Brandon told Pegula not to let Rex out of the building it smacks of a problem. This guy is the marketing/PR guy and should not have that strong a belief in his ability to advise about such matters. Makes me wonder what else is going on in the building. Marrone complained about the lifers too.

Let me preface this by saying, I'm as big a fan of what Polian did for the Bills and in the NFL as anyone. When I first heard this I got excited. After, reading and digesting, I think it would be a mistake. The comments he made are puzzling. Not in favor of it, and I'm thinking it would mean firing Whaley and Rex, the latter not so negative on. I'm just thinking so much of the problem this year was coaching, injuries and crappy luck on calls at the wrong time. I'm thinking instead of a huge personnel overhaul and a puzzling blueprint from Polian we need to make the RIGHT moves. That means to me keeping Whaley and admitting Rex was a mistake and biting the bullet on the money. Oh and work on the injury problem this offseason IMO

Perhaps he'll improve! There have been plenty of QBs who are in the 6-0/6-1 range and been fine players. I'd be more worried about injuries.

Oh really! Physically incapable.

Nice post! You are exactly right when you say the media would have us preseason as an 11 win team with this type of QB performance. However, we are basically a .500 team and that 3 game difference falls in Rex and the defense. When people B word that TT didn't bring us from behind like Brady or Rodgers they are living in a fantasy world.

Amen! Finally, someone tells it like it is. I'm personally not inclined to believe this is an especially strong QB class. Teams will reach just like the EJ draft. I'd take someone like Doughty later in the draft to develop. He's not ready, but has some good things, including a nice arm.

Nice cliché.

If Tyrod had been a real QB, then our DEFENSE would have been good.

Perfectly stated. I hate to be cliché, but there are those who would throw the baby out with the bath water. It's not that simple folks, can't blame everything on the QB.

I feel the big mistake was hiring Rex because he was a bad fit. The Jets brought in Casserly and ended up with Bowles. There was talk about Polian being named Czar and that disappeared. I know people think these kinds of guys are over the hill and especially the younger set doesn't want this kind of hire. However, in fairness they both didn't like the fit of Rex in Buffalo and said so. Instead we hear that Russ Brandon, who is a great marketing guy, is telling Pegula to hire him. I wish we had someone around who just said this is his Schtick and he has been trending downward, he is a bad fit, I wouldn't hire him.

Good point! Sounds like the Jets all over. Perhaps this is the only way Rex is gone, if a new GM comes in. Therefore, I say no way Whaley is gone unless he quits.

I have been annoyed at Roman during the year, but it would be a huge mistake to not retain him and have to adjust to a new Offense again. Especially with the development of TT. There has been improvement offensively, and it is dumb to just change that like we did with our defense this year.

Yeah I agree with this. Also, would add that Roman's pass offense takes a bit longer for the patterns to develop than some teams.

We all heard this clown screw up with regard to the Bills before. I question who his sources are in Buffalo. Probably contacted UBBulls fan for his info!
