Maybe because it's the most recent but it was the non call on the obvious pick play that allowed the Eagles to score the winning FG.

There is most definitely turning back if the Pegulas have the courage to admit their mistake and jettison Rex. He was a flash in the pan as a DC and as a HC. His first two years were likely the result of what Mangini left him. He stinks! What Rex was this year is who he is. He will not change. It has nothing at all to do with his "scheme" and the players getting it. He is in way over his head. He needs to go away.

What half way competent coach loses control of his locker room since day one? Think of your favorite coaches in the NFL. Do you thing this could happen to them? To me it's inconceivable. This is on Rex. It was a horrible hire!

This only looks at one side of the equation regarding the offense. Regardless of the rather misleading total stats, the Bills were in 4 or 5 games in which the offense could/should have moved down the field at the end for a winning or tying score. TT was an epic failure each time. This is actuarial fact and not debatable. And a rationalization like "if the Bills played better on D and didn't have all those penalties they wouldn't be in that position" doesn't matter. I'm fine with seeing how TT develops but he absolutely deserves that criticism.

If Ryan stays it will be interesting to see how the Pegulas rationalize it. Rex is a nightmare for this franchise. Jettison him no matter what it costs!

I know you did. I just wanted to get in one more dig at Rex.

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

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?

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!

This! A thousand times this!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
