TPS

With the draft, people ignore what the coaching scheme demands. For example, Marrone wanted big road graders for the O line, so a guy like Richardson fit the mold. Roman needed more athletic linemen, so they grab Miller and Richardson becomes expendable. Roman also needed a TE (several really) in the mold of clay, and they got him. In fact, as some have stated, TE was more important to roman's scheme than WR. But blame Whaley. On D, it's been beaten to death how Rex ruined a top 5 D. Again, a coaching issue. I'm of the mind that it would be futile to blow it up and restart, but Rex has been nothing but a blowhard. Keeping Whaley over Rex is a better option.give the job to Lynn, and keep Taylor, and start drafting QBs.

Interesting stats Polish Dave. I really don't want to see it all blown up again. Despite his shortcomings, without a couple crappy defensive performances against the jets and phins, the bills would make the playoffs. I'd rather see them find a way to use TT as a transition until they hit on a draft pick. Starting over with some other re-tread will take them 3 steps back and none forward. I hate to say it, but give it all one more year...

if the D doesn't allow career days to Fitzpatrick and ajayi, then this conversation most likely doesn't happen.

They are going to need to provide blue paper bags to distinguish from the brown paper bags for this game...

Amazing how many people swallowed the bait of The headline by the #1 troll here. First, Peter posted the relevant quote, which seemed to go ignored. Not even DCTom's admonishment seemed to sink in. Folks, Shefter DID NOT report Ryan will be fired. He mentioned the rumor. I know many of us WANT him gone, but this is not confirmation.

As someone pointed out, Simms said, and it's not a bad idea. Three games of playing pass first, and tell Tyrod to take some chances. We've seen enough of conservative Tyrod, see if he can repeat his Seattle performance. Or do you think they should have the same run-first mentality that we've already seen too much of?

while he has issues seeing the middle, he also is reluctant to take chances. Lynn should tell him to start winging it. They've got, he's got, three games to let them see if he's capable. I hope they try it.

Not to mention the impact it would have on future contracts and signings...

if you cut PBrown, who's your other LB? I could see PB as the strong side, rags in the middle, and ZB the weak. That's a solid group.

EJ has also shown the ability to step up when the game is on the line.

Rex was given a top 5 D, then Whaley went out and got shady, clay, Harvin, Taylor, and incognito. Keep blaming Whaley.

problem was he was injured for most of the preseason and didn't really get a chance to show the new Rex regime what he had.

Is Ben trying to save Rex?

Seeing the same body language by the D as they showed when they couldn't stop Oakland last week...

Can't wait for Monday!

Christmas will come early then!

Looks like a lot of the "fans" have already bailed--a lot of Steeler fans there.

I assume you mean for the Patriots? Need to destroy that franchise somehow!

2014 the Bills have a top 5 D and bottom half O. 2015, Bills hire a defensive genius for a coach, so Whaley works on the O, bringing in shady, clay, Harvin, incognito, and Taylor. O moves to upper half of league, D to lower half. 2016, Defensive genius didn't have the players he needed, so Whaley uses top 3 picks on D. O scores 31 against jets, but D gives up 37. O coordinator fired. O ranks in top 10, D regresses from previous year. Blame Whaley...

Sure, Tyrod has limitations, but he has guided an offensive output that is better than anything the Bills have done since Jim Kelly. Only in 2004 did the Bills average more ppg than the current 25.4, and they've done it without a complement of NFL-caliber WRs. Careful what you wish for. This offense is good enough to get you into the playoffs, the D on the other hand....

Fire Rex and go back to a cover 2 and the secondary will be fine with the exception of replacing AW. Front 7: Lawson Dareus Washington Hughes Brown Ragland ZBrown Time to let the old man go despite how good he's played this year.

Coach Sal: They were playing prevent offense and prevent defense.

That was some of the worst play calling I've ever seen.

Let me add, the Bills don't stand a chance of winning because the NFL needs to boost its ratings so they desire to have two of the formerly marquee teams make it to the SB--Dallas and the Raiders. The refs will make it happen...

The bills will hang with them in the first half, but their injuries at WR and secondary will catch up to them in the second half. 27-23 men in black
