Rooting for Bills' losses in week three with the hopes of the 1st pick in the draft? Nope! Not doing that.
Having Rex Ryan as Head Coach in 2017?, Nope! Not having that.
-
They're not bringing in a new GM with the current coach still in place, that's ridiculous.
He means the new GM responsibility in the offseason finding a new coach if Rex is fired mid-season

Seeing too many fluff words in this thread
Identity
Foundation
Workable management system
Culture
It's all a bunch of crap. Have a good quarterback, creative schemes and game plans, make smart coaching decisions based on statistical analysis, and you'll win. Period.
All of those fancy fluff words come AFTER the wins. Not before. Those are the end result of success, not the cause.
And the Bills have any of that since 1999?
-
In one word: No

Some poor folks in Ghana are licking their chops over free rugs.
As an Ghanaian, I take offense to this comment. As for the pic, idk how an egregious mistake like that was made

Pegula has plenty of money but basically guaranteeing a guy $15 million to leave is pretty dumb. I think the organization will give them all one more year after this for the sake of continuity. If that doesn't get it done and turn knto playoff wins then I could see whole scale changes from whaley on down. The Ryans are on record as wanting to restore the Ryan name and Buddy is in poor health so timing is everything. Maybe ol Rexys pride will do some good for a change?
IMO it would be a colossal mistake to fire Whaley and keep Rex. See NYJ for examples.
It was dumb to give Rex Ryan a 5 year contract to begin with, letting him go after another disappointing/bad season will just be admitting to that mistake and accepting the consequences imo.

If Whaley does get fired after another bad season, then Rex is gone too, no new GM is gonna want to be tied to Rex after the Idzik fiasco with the Jets. Either nobody gets fired, only Rex and the coaching staff gets fired, or everybody gets fired.i'm not convinced he's going to be fired. in fact, i'm far more confident in believing Rex will be back next season barring a 6-10 or worse collapse.
1) there was no ultimatum given, trust me.
2) the Pegulas do not act rashly when it comes to making changes.
the people they've fired fall into two categories:
-- They backed the GM's advice in axing them: Lindy Ruff/Ted Nolan.
-- They felt somewhat betrayed (not going to go into detail on this): Darcy, LaFontaine
3) the Pegulas are fully on board with the framework of a plan that was presented them once Rex came in. Address the offense in 2015. Address the defense in 2016. to change course in 2017 was essentially bring them back to Square 1 yet again.
gut feeling is that Whaley's job security is more on the line than Rex's. the Pegulas do like Doug, and so does Russ. but Whaley might wind up being a sacrificial lamb if things go south again. but i also still lean toward him having one more year beyond this.

Prefect, now we have a viable backup and a potential starter in a few years if Tyrod leaves or if he regresses in any way. Now we need a safety, receiver, and an O-Lineman
-
Needed a safety badly and we take a rotational D-Line player cmon
-
I think he should get the surgery now, he hurts it more he's done for next season at least
-
Bills better not waste this pick on Lynch
-
If Tunsil drops to 19, does Rex/Whaley take that risk?
-
Make sure the Pats play in RWS in September-October, can't have the Pats playing in snowy, cold Orchard Park late in the season
-
Fact: the Bills finished with the 4th hardest schedule in the AFC last season. Can we please stop with this idea that the schedule is going to be our ultimate demise? If the Bills get their own s**t together on defense they will be just fine.
Fact they beat a combination of 2 games between Jacksonville, Philadelphia, and Kansas City they are a playoff team despite the poor performance of the defense.
-
Screw it, if Cardale Jones is in the 3rd or 4th round, I would take a flier on him, he may be inaccurate at times, but I think he could be a solid pro QB.
-
Hue Jackson makes poor decisions about his head coaching career
Wouldn't be that way if the Bills chose him over Rex
-
at anybody who thinks EJ should be the backup next season. But as for the topic, RG3 would be a good backup option, I doubt he would come here since there are plenty of teams that need a starter. -
I can't wait until Rex Ryan is gone, one Ryan is bad enough but two on the same stuff

Remember it's a retractable roof stadium, it could also be a candidate for the Final Four, National Championship in CFB, Super Bowl, and WWE's WrestleMania. There's a lot of viable events that could come to Buffalo that will help the economy that an open air stadium would not possible with.
-
Update the 2015 stats that they finished 4-2 in the division.
-
Why couldn't they play like this last month, this could've been a win and in if they had beaten Philadelphia and Washington
-
Greg Roman, and some of you think he's a significant upgrade over Hackett ha -
Greg Roman is playcalling per usual, is predictably bad

I recently thought about one of the reasons the Bills haven't gotten into the playoffs recent years going back to Dick Jauron's 1st season in 2006. It dawned on me that it just as important to have an above .500 record vs the inter-conference opponents (AFC division that you are match-up to face) and intra-conference opponents (NFC division that you are match-up to face), considering these 8 games are half the schedule, they are just as important as divisional match-ups for having a winning record and having good tiebreakers if need be.
2006: 4-4 (2-2 vs NFC North and 2-2 vs AFC South)
-Not bad, in fact the Bills had a 3-3 record in the division, so the Bills were essentially a .500 team go figure
2007: 3-5 (1-3 NFC East and 2-2 vs AFC North)
- Not having a good record didn't necessarily hurt the Bills during this season because of their 4-2 divisional record, the three game losing streak late in the year when they were 7-6 with an outside chance at a playoff berth did.
2008: 6-4 (2-2 NFC West and 4-0 vs AFC West)
-Pretty good, if the Bills were able to at least win 2 or 3 games in the division, they could've won the division
I'm gonna skip the 2009 and 2010 seasons, those were essentially re-building years with the firing of Dick Jauron and hiring of Chan Gailey to re-tool the team.
2011: 5-3 (2-2 NFC East and 3-1 AFC West)
-Solid, big problem was their 1-5 record in the division, which a lot of the losses came from in that 7 game losing streak after starting 5-2
2012: 2-6 (1-3 NFC West and 1-3 AFC South)
-Just wasn't a good season across the board for the Bills including a 2-4 divisional record. A lot of winnable games lost of the Colts, Patriots (A), Titans, Rams. Imagine if Gailey got another year if he could won 2 of those games and hired Pettine
2013: 2-6 (1-3 NFC South and 1-3 AFC North)
-Again, winnable games vs the Patriots (H), Falcons, and Bengals might have able to turn the fortunes of the Bills even despite new coach and rookie QB, Bills had a 3-3 record in the division.
2014: 4-4 (4-0 NFC North and 0-4 AFC West)
-By far the most frustrating one of all the records especially those losses to Kansas City and Oakland. Win one of those games and the Houston game or beat both teams and the Bills are in the playoffs
2015: 4-4 (1-3 NFC East and 3-1 AFC South)
-Really the big one besides the losses to the Eagles and Redskins was the game in London vs Jacksonville, despite EJ Manuel's CFL level performance, Bills defense could not stop the Jags from scoring late in that one.
Overall, Bills have been at .500 for the most part during these games, the years they were over that mark, their divisional record was their undoing. Basically, for the Bills is make the playoffs in 2016:
Gotta finish at least 3-3 or 4-2 in the division
Win an combined 5 or 6 inter-conference and intra-conference games
That will put the Bills at 8-10 wins with the two AFC teams that finished with the same divisional place to play
Time to reallign divisions
