  1. The Bills have a terrible accounting staff. They've done nothing to pull the Bills out of the playoff drought. They should all be fired too. What are the Pegulas thinking?
  2. This may just be my opinion, but it seems like a dick-move by the reporter to be focusing so much on this minute detail that means nothing. Would it really change anything if Rex new about the rumors before vs after the game. I'm not a Rex fan, but the reporter comes off as a douche.
  3. Experienced head coach with a career winning record. It's not like his teams were stacked with talent his first few seasons. Only Roddy White and Michael Turner were Pro Bowl players. Matt Ryan didn't start approaching elite status until his 5th year if you look at his stats. I know we all want the next Belichick, or Parcells, or Walsh. Mike Smith isn't a sexy choice in comparison. But I'd be happy with this until someone provides a better option. I do not want someone from the Belichick tree; it does not produce NFL fruit.
  4. I'm not trying to be rude, but I don't understand the love for McDaniels. Belichick and Brady are the reason the Pats are so good (I just threw up in my mouth a bit). Patriots' coordinators don't do well away from New England. I think Nate Hackett would look brilliant as an OC with Tom Brady under center.
  5. 1) Todd Haley makes a lot of sense. He might keep A Lynn since they're close and have history. Not sure I'd like the choice though. This may not be a sexy pick, but I think Mike Smith makes some sense here. 2) Again, I don't like this, but I think the Bills are going to get Cutler as a one year bridge to Cardale. Backup plan will be Nick Foles. 3) Ryan Schraeder RT.
  6. I love his energy and heart; but I hope Aaron Williams hangs up the cleats.
  7. "Now you might not believe it, but under fire Rex Ryan is one of the... finest football coaches in the world. All he needs is somebody to throw hand grenades at him the rest of his life."
  8. I wouldn't say I was a doubter, but I was wondering if Gillislee should be getting a larger role in the offense. It's amazing that the switch to Lynn brought us the Shady that we traded for. Coaching does make a huge difference.
  9. In my opinion, this is the kind of thing that will eventually kill net neutrality. Over the past few years, there has been a media shift towards shared content, P2P streaming etc. This eats into TV ad money. When billionaires and corporations lose revenue because of a minimally regulated internet, you can bet corporate friendly government regulations are on the way.
  10. How many linebackers, in the entire league, are fast enough to cacth Julian Edelman from behind?
  11. I'll be honest, I thought Su'a Cravens was too slow to play in the secondary. I wasn't impressed with his game speed and I thought he would be a bust as a high draft pick. I'm looking like an ass right now.
  12. You often have to read between the lines with these press conferences. To me it seems that Lynn acknowledged there were issues causing delays in getting the play calls in. He also seemed to hint that Tyrod had freedom to change plays at the line, but that the playbook options were complicated. That's just what I took from it. For what it's worth, Coach Lynn does come off as being a smart guy. Let's hope that turns into production.
  13. Didn't Jeff Fisher just get a contract extension...like a few weeks ago?
  14. I was actually wondering if Gillislee / McCoy is our new Freddy / Marshawn. At the time, Marshawn was the high profile back. A first round draft pick. But at every chance, Freddy just seemed to do more. I'm not saying Gillislee is as good as Fred Jackson, but I see a similar situation where the back up does more with opportunities than the featured back. Gillislee moves forward. McCoy moves laterally until he finds a hole or turns up when he reaches the sideline.
  15. I never understood the hype on Scooby. He was a linebacker who was smart enough to know where the ball carrier would be...but slow so the tackle was made 5 yards too late.
  16. The last one where Clay was wide open, I'm guessing TT went with the out because they were running the 2 minute offense (such as it is). Considering how long the offense takes to set up and run a play, I wouldn't want them going down the middle in that situation. On the first play, the design should've had the slant curve in to the opposite 40 yard marker. Easier throw than a 10 yard out, and he had a chance for YAC. Great job by the way. I love this stuff.
  17. Greg Roman could've been a Superbowl winning OC...in 2000. I'm sure he's a smart guy. But his offense is old. This is a passing league. Competition rule changes over the past 10 - 15 years have made it so. He and Rex have not evolved to the modern NFL. The people saying that defense was the problem last night are wrong. It was a team loss. All 3 phases were bad. Offense was 3/10 on 3rd down. Two of those came in garbage time if I remember correctly. We could not put a drive together. Last week was bad as well. Roman does not have the football smarts to run an NFL offense. Rex is on the same boat in my opinion. He gets no pass from me.
  18. No love for Eddie Robinson? He's a coach on the field. Just don't ask him to tackle a slow QB at the goalline.
  19. You don't have to be a Bills homer. Let's be objective here. Tyrod Taylor's 2016 QBR ranked him 7th in the league (tied with Cam). His QB rating placed him 10th in the league. Does this make him a top 10 quarterback? Maybe, maybe not. But it certainly should have him ranked much higher than 26th. That ranking is ridiculous whether you're being objective or subjective.
  20. I can't figure out why people are freaking out about this. He wasn't saying the NFL shouldn't exist. He was saying that the human body was not created to play football. The human body did not evolve for the purpose of playing football. That is all. Stop with the insults. Whaley isn't an idiot biting the hand that feeds him. Consider the context of the conversation and the rest of what he said. Jesus, some people are just sitting around waiting for people to screw up so they can pounce. Let it go.
  21. Jim Kelly ran a Bills offense that led the Bills to 4 straight Super Bowls. During those years the Bills offense ranked 1, 2, 3, & 7. This happened during years before the NFL set rules to increase passing proliferation. If anyone thinks Kelly wouldn't be in the 20+ million club...I don't know what to tell them.
  22. That's a bold strategy Cotton let's see if it pays off for 'em.
  23. I feel like something needs to be clarified for the people who complain about Ragland's speed. Yes, there are knocks on his speed. But that means Ragland is too slow to be Von Miller; it doesn't mean he's too slow to play mike in the NFL. He has all the makings to be a good/really good lb for us.
