Rex's defense requires smart players. Rex had success with Eric Mangini's players, Mangini was a Belichick disciple and wanted high IQ players. Bills can't run complex defense unless we rebuild the d line and linebackers.

Yeah, Lynn will have no problem finding a DC. The issue is picking the right one.

Fred joked that he could be made interim head coach after Lynn gets the head job. Fred notes: Said Bills are very close, although he knows fans don't want to hear it. In other words, players don't think Buffalo's roster is a joke. Like A Lynn, impressed by him. Said Whaley is a good GM, despite the bitter words on his way out. Would possibly be interested in coaching some day.

It sounded to me like Lynn had already decided to slim down the playbook and simplify. Parcells just pushed him to cut more than even Lynn would have went. “We talked about the volume of the offense and what players can handle and finding that sweet spot,” said Lynn. “You want to have enough options, but you don’t want to have too many because that’s going to hurt your personnel. So that was the message and it’s always been that. It’s just sometimes you need it reinforced.” Parcells told him to cut the Bills voluminous offensive playbook in half. It was a bit further than Lynn even wanted to go, at which point the man he coached under in Dallas issued a threat. http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Offensive-coordinator-Anthony-Lynn---the-first-72-hours/1a30c536-5eb8-4f4f-a7e6-bcb59f32874d

Yes, but if the Bills move on from TT it's because they think they hit the ceiling. Cardale is a big unknown that if he hits would be a home run. I have no idea what the Bills are thinking and that's why the media and fans are spinning around looking for clues.

The Cardale Jones bit was the most interesting. Maybe the plan is to move on from TT and Lynn hopes Cardale can be his Dak Prescott in a run heavy offense that takes shots deep.

Bills should hire Ernie Adams...

Correct. He considers Bill Parcells as his mentor.

Good for him. Looks like quality gets out of here ASAP. And we are left with the bottom of the barrel.

What happened to Tyler Dunne? He wrote interesting stories about football where I actually learned things.

I believe in automation. I will build the Buffalo News a Jerry Sullivan App that can easily churn out a Jerry Sullivan article. Headline "Negative Adjective Bills Ownership/Management/Marketers find another way to lose." Story 2-3 Facts pulled from other national writers on bills. Close with mentioning X years out of playoffs, Pegula's naive and evil because of fracking. I will sell to Buffalo News for $5,000 and they can fire Sully and have the process done automatically.

The Bills would have had to trade two 1sts for Mack. They drafted 9th. They could have had Odell without moving up.

I'm surprised people aren't going off on Lynn naming Cardale Jones...er, EJ Manuel as the starter. Mistake or something more?! Somebody get to the bottom of this...

The Bills are a mediocre team. But the Buffalo News and media doesn't sell papers telling the truth and would rather create fake drama and the sky is falling scenarios. Some fans will buy into that view but I would rather deal with what I see and not what the News tells me to think.

This is a weak draft for QB's. Only pull the trigger if you really like someone.

I hate the Pats. Always looking to rip someone off.

Nope! He had his helmet on though.

Tyrod Taylor was shown standing on the sidelines in the practice facility wearing a red jersey.

Would the Rams job be better than the Bills job? I guess it depends on how you feel about Jared Goff.

Considering Lynn had no time for PR or spin doctoring and was thrown to the wolves to answer for his bosses it wasn't pretty. But he didn't make any mistakes either. I think Lynn can get training on this and how to say, "Next question," or learn to say no.

Lynn came off as loyal and a team player. He would rather not puff his chest and deflects to Us and Team.

Lynn won't ever win at press conferences. Hopefully he can do everything else.

That was painful. Press trying to get Lynn to throw Rex under the bus. Lynn didn't take the bait. This is only going to make the Buffalo News writers more angry.

Pretty weak article by Kirwan. His evidence for instability is Bills have changed coaches a lot, most of that during the end of the Ralph Wilson era. New flash, so did the Dolphins and they had plenty of candidates and found someone last year. I don't believe that Buffalo is unattractive for coaches but even if it was, good. Don't want some has been or someone who the game has passed by.

Don't forget that the Bills started off slow under Roman. If you take out the Roman games and just judge Lynn on the job he did and points per game when he was OC it is even better for Lynn.
