The season has become a literal nightmare that I cannot wake up from. Oh well, the Giants-Panthers game has become interesting....
-
How did we ever win six games?
-
Team is a hideous embarrassment
Oh....The Horror!
-
They're has to be a buyout clause in Ryan's contract. No matter how costly. It has to be done. There is no conceivable rationalization for this. I type as it goes to 21-0!
-
The game isn't televised in Syracuse. Now I'm glad. Listening to it on the radio is bad enough.
-
Yankees, Cuse basketball in 2003 and several Cuse lacrosse championships.
-
With Rex at the helm the Bills can't seem to get out of their own way. So maybe if they tried to tank they would just muck it up and start winning games!
-
and I hope it does happen. The Bills fans, arguably the most loyal anywhere, pony up year after year and get the same garbage; excuse me -this year the garbage is worse.
The Pegulas were conned by a scam artist when other, more qualified HC candidates were available. I won't be spending another dime until Rex is gone as he is an embarrassment to the city I call home. I may draft an open letter to the Pegulas from TBD.
This! A thousand times this!

You mean like holding penalties and false starts? Bad Tyrod, bad.
Bringing up the penalty issue in this thread is entirely besides the point. All the penalties aside TT had a golden chance to take the team down the field for a win and he failed.....again. With regard to critiquing him, that's all that matters. He may end up being a QB who can lead a team to the playoffs but he's not there yet. I'm not even sure he's close.

This defense puts inconsistant pressure on the QB. Looking at Bradford's long pass on 2 and 26 for a touchdown. An aggressive effort by Mario would have disrupted Bradford as he rolled right near where Mario was jogging/sleepwalking by the offensive tackle. That play was blamed on Graham but any effort at all by Mario should have disrupted the play.
I have waited all year for Mario to snap out of it and it is not going to happen. He has to be moved if he does not want to play hard. The team needs are DE, LB, S and #2 WR. Any combination of draft or FA can produce needed players. I would love to see Graham back at 3rd corner and get a better tackling safety (assuming Williams is done).
I would agree with what you said about Mario if it wasn't the entire D line underperforming. He was terrific the last two years. Why would he suddenly be mailing it in. Same for Dareus. It's more likely a systemic problem....basically it's Rex...he ruined a great defense.
If we blow up the roster - we fire the coaches and the coordinators. Who in their right mind wants to come here to be a GM/coach? We just fired a coach after a year- and your team will have less talent... so you're going in just expecting to be fired in a year or two.
You don't blow teams up in the NFL because 1 draft pick isn't the difference between good and bad.
Don't need to blow up the roster, just the coaching staff. Rex is horrid. Besides, no worry about a lot of interest in a vacant Bills HC position. Candidates would be lining up. That's a non issue.
-
Have you heard of coach killer quaterbacks? You know, the QB is so bad that he gets the coach fired. Well, the Bills have just the opposite. The Bills have Rex Ryan, the quarterback killing coach. The horrible coaching of Greg Roman and Rex Ryan would kill almost any QB and prevent them from being successful.
Rex Ryan's history proves how inept he is. Terry Pegula made a $25 million dollar mistake hiring this loud mouth buffoon!
Tyrod Taylor could be a star QB with better coaching and offensive game plans.
It's right to criticize TT and have concerns about him long term, but this post reflects the deeper truth. Rex is toxic...very toxic.
-
The 5th rated QB in the NFL is dragging the Bills down!
Sadly, he is. Being number 5 is nice and all. But 6 and 7 is the more telling metric. He does choke in big moments. He has done this too many times this year. Rex is the main reason the team can't win consistently, But in crucial times, TT has failed again and again. To me this is not even debatable.
-
Pure balogna. Rex came to town, bought a big truck and took a dump on Bills fans.
The most dissapointing season of many I can remember. The penalties are absurd.
I used to think that Rex was a good NFL coach in a disfunctional Jets organization. It's the other way around.
This is the absolute truth. He needs to go after this season! Okay Pegulas, you got scammed. Buy Rex out, learn a lesson and hire a real coach.
-
They blew it up last year. And two years before that. And two years before that. Annnnd two years before that...
MAYBE it's worth sticking with one program for more than a season.
This only makes sense if you really believe Rex can change his stripes. He is genuinely a horrible coach and the Pegulas were bamboozled. Rex was a flash in the pan for his first two years. He's been a disaster ever since. Does anyone believe he can change. I don't. The Pegulas should cut their losses buy him out and consider the money lost a hard lesson learned.

The OP's theory has several major flaws:
First, as one poster has noted, no one with a modicum of football sense would say all you need is a QB. Classic straw man fallacy. You argue a point which no one takes the opposite side.
Second, cherry picking QB's who have great seasons and not make the playoffs is statistically flawed. Only a few teams get to the playoffs and only two get to the SB. Probability alone shows this reasoning to be flawed. The major point is that virtually all playoff teams have good QB play. Still, only a few get in. Also, as us Bills fans know all too well, there are always a few games in the season that are decided by one or two crucial plays that could have gone either way and could be the difference between making the playoffs or not.
Finally, the OP doesn't seem to say this but there is the now classic cherry picking logic of a QB who is a game manager but not elite who get to the SB. The one and seemingly only real example of this is Trent Dilfer. But when you look at other "non elite" QB's who get there team to the SB they have great years, for example Steve Berline(bad spell, I know) and Rich Gannon. If these guys put up the numbers they did every year like they did in their SB years they would be in the HOF.
Just like with money, a top QB isn't everything, but it's way ahead of whatever is in second place.
-
no there isn't that QB out there.
This may or may not be true. We'll find out during the off season. If that QB is not available are you in favor of taking a big cap hit, which would absolutely be the case, to get Revis and tie up all that money?
-
Yeah, why on earth would the Bills be interested in adding a perennial All-Pro to the roster? I just don't get it. We have Leodis McKelvin instead.
Maybe you should read my post again. For the money he will command he's not woth it for the Bills. What he would bring is nowhere near a priority for the Bills. It's all about the QB for this team, period. BTW, you should stop banging your head like that. You could hurt yourself.
-
Getting Revis makes no sense to me. CB is an area of relative strength on this team especially if Leodis comes back OK which he should. This is one thing about Ryan that bothers me. This would be a ridiculous and unnecessary cap hit for a player who is on the downside. This seems to be more Rex's ego and blinders re: focusing mostly on D. Getting Revis would not improve the D that much for the cost. Come on, Whaley, be the voice of reason here!
There needs to be only one focus for this team period: getting a good QB. Look at the final four: Rodgers, Brady, Luck and Wilson. Throw in the likes of Manning and Romo in the playoffs. If the Bills are going to make a splash and spend some big bucks it needs to be for a viable QB. The question is is there one out there? It would be absolutely great if EJ could get there but the odds are not good IMO. I don't know if he is even going to be on the market but I would love Bradford. Never mind the Mike Glennons of the league. Right now it's all about the QB for the Bills. Without one they might even regress next season.

If we had a serviceable qb taking the snaps last year this team would have been in the playoffs, even with a very vulnerable OL.Terry Pegula is taking a different approach compared to the prior owner. He is investing in staff. If your staff is making big money decisons on players and then coaching them it makes a lot of sense. The historical problem for the Bills is not so much that they didn't spend enough money on players but that they didn't do it very wisely. The over-sized contracts for mediocre players such as Derick Dockery and Langston Walker are illustrations of that pointAs you noted in your post the biggest challenge for Whaley this offseason is finding the best veteran qb on the market and then have EJ compete for the starter's job.This is someone else's good thought but Kellen Moore intrigues me very much. Accurate passer who knows how to read defenses. He is relatively short in stature and has at best an adequate arm but he would be an interesting player to add to the qb mix.
This is a good take. No question that with a serviceable QB the Bills are 11-5 in 2014 and in the playoffs. I don't know about Kellen Moore but EJ needs competition. I'm hopeful that EJ can develop but not optimistic. Would love to get Bradford if that was somehow possible.

And this would go with Marv as well.
We hear our new staff talk about offense & defense & special teams have to be on the same page philisophically in order to win.
Our Superbowl years had a top high octane scoring offense.
Opposing teams like the Giants could only negate that by long controlled drives.
Why in the world did we allow our defensive coordinator to play a bend but dont break defense given the offense we had?
We were defending a against a long ball that was never going to be thrown.
We were giving up short yardage/move the chain plays which is all the offenses ever wanted.
It was incredible poor strategy and cost us at least the Giants Superbowl.
To add insult to injury our defensive personnell of Bruce and Bennet and Leonard Smith were built for an attacking style.
I loved Polian as much as anyone but allowing your team to operate so out of synch between offense and defense was a killer to us.
In basketball terms - its like having a high powered UNLV runnin rebel type offense and then sitting back in a zone against a team that only wishes to milk the clock
Both Marv & Polian should have to answer to the disconnect
Right. As a Bills fan since day one of the franchise these were truly the worst four years of my life...winning a lot of games and going to all those SB's. Thank God nothing like that has ever happened again!
-
At least Bills fans have someone to root against, vehemently. Love to see the Pats* clobbered.
-
Don't need Harris with Kiko coming back and with the emergence of Bradham and Brown. I'd love to have Spikes on the team next year IF he is affordable and IF he's willing to accept a situational, part time role.
-
My biggest concern with Ryan's D if if he tries to make Dareus into some type of NT. That would be a waste of his talent. He thrives in a 4 man line.
-
Not overblown to me in principle. A basic rule was allegedly broken. Didn't affect the outcome of the game this time but there is a clear reason for the rule. The final report should be interesting.

Rex's Jets. But you're right on.
