You had me at #1.

Respectfully, who is going to make the final decision on who to hire as HC and will it be successful at all if the very same people that have been unsuccessful in the past do the hiring. Brandon since 2007. Whaley since 2013. What's more, who is to find this elusive elite franchise QB if the current GM already took his shot with EJ and then went overboard in spending two first round picks on a glass WR attempting to make that QB pick work. Meanwhile, the guy basically had no success with building a proper offensive line. Remember LG Chris Williams for 5 mill per who played 3 games and done! Or how about OG Colin Brown who Whaley tried to replace Andy Levitre with and was so bad he only lasted 6 games before being cut. Let's not forget it was Rex Ryan who vouched for all pro LG Richie Incognito and wanted Tyrod Taylor. Ryan was also chasing Cowboys OG La'el Collins before he signed with Dallas. This team already passed on Derek Carr, Teddy Bridgewater for that glass WR who is always injured and now looking back at that 2014 draft. If Whaley knew wtf he was looking at in terms of college talent the team could have gone with trading up for LBer Khalil Mack or WR Mike Evans instead of Watkins! Or stayed at #9 and drafted all pros LBer Anthony Barr, WR Odel Beckham JR, DT Aaron Donald, OG Zack Martin, LBer CJ Mosley. Or traded up for Carr, Bridgewater. I think Bills fans want to give Whaley more credit than he deserves and since it's been so long since the team had a successful playoff season that fans tend to not see all the problems. Who cares if the team changes the entire front office structure and then fails to win more than 3 games. That will simply mean they haven't found the right front office people. It will also allow them to make changes to the FO again and ultimately have a legit shot at a franchise QB with a top 3 pick. I have no faith in Doug Whaley and his scouting staff to find a decent HC or QB. I also have no faith in Russ Brandon or the Pegula's to make those choices either.

Changing just the HC won't change much really. This team needs an entire regime change with someone very smart at the top of the org making all the football decisions. Far, far too many problems with the lack of backup talent, the trainers as so many are ending up on IR or playing hurt. The doctors who give the okay to bring in injury prone draft picks and free agents. Not to mention the lack of quality offensive scouts who can find that elite franchise QB. Missed on Derek Carr. The bills missed their chance with Bill Polian who may be taking a job with the Bears.

We're watching the walking dead...

Rex...

someone was just saying zack Brown has done nothing

So, the team fires Rex and promotes Lynn to HC...who fixes this craptastic defense?

Good lord, Bell

The score should be far worse than what it is and the Bills still have a shot to comeback.

Man, just watching the way the Steelers offensive linemen push back the Bills D-line is making me sick. Men against boys. Bell 102 yards rushing on 16 carries

Read this! http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/01/01/bills-decision-to-hire-nix-draws-criticism/ Clearly, you missed the part of my last post that mentioned that it was Russ Brandon who induced these new owners into thinking that they have the needed NFL football acumen needed to hire the team's next coach. It should have been Doug Whaley's choice as he is the GM and instead these new owners and Russ Brandon were all involved in the hiring process. You also missed the part where known elite franchise QB Atlanta Falcon Matt Ryan fell on his face during the 2013 season for many reasons and the team ended with a 4-12 record. Having an elite franchise QB playing a full 16 games doesn't ensure a winning season and that goes for Buffalo too. This franchise has more problems than just a not so great QB, as they have not so good trainers, scouts, doctors, coaches and most of all a not so good GM. The team entered the season with several known weak positions over the team and as injuries came about they showed glaringly. Yes, all team have and deal with injuries. the difference is the dropoff in talent between the Buffalo Bills starters and backup players in many positions is far, far unacceptable. Receivers, Safeties, RT among others. This is on the GM, scouts. We agree that the coaching staff isn't very good and seem to disagree on the other parts of the team. I'm with others who want to see the whole thing blown up with real NFL experienced football people making all the football decisions.

Geez, Bell on fire.

Geez, nothing like all day to throw. Good thing he is off target

YAY! he can catch!

Good lord, get ready for Jay Cutler, Tony Romo or Colin Kaepernick http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/rex-ryan-in-jeopardy-of-losing-his-job-as-soon-as-this-week-as-is-tyrod-taylor/

About time the run first team started to actually run. Superstar in McCoy, feed him the ball!

Right after that year's draft, there were videos put up by the team on their website in which Whaley stated EJ was entirely his guy. Dunno if it's even still there and I'm far too lazy to look for it at this time.

It's a darn shame that Rex's defense stinks so badly because i can live with this year's version of him not being a blowhard while stuffing his foot in mouth every week. The difference between the Steelers and Bills is on the field for the world to see as it's not just the coaching that's bad. This is a "run-first team" that can't find a way to run in some games and then the entire offense lands on the running QB's shoulders. Can't run, can't throw, defense stinks...yea, I'd also say blow it all up!

Whaley was the one who went to Fla to personally scout EJ and stated just after the draft EJ was his guy.

I'll believe that when I see it.

Will we see EJ or Jones today? Dunno if either will help with Cordy Glenn out injured.

Hidden flag and the good lord grants Rex a reprieve...

A darn shame but that doesn't look like it will happen. The prevailing thought seems to give Whaley more time and his pick at QB in Jones some playing time. Like he "might be" another Dak Prescott...sure if the Bills trade offensive lines and receiver corps along with offensive coaches with Dallas.

Ruh ro... lost the lead and now will throw more than run.. Buh Bye Rex, Tyrod

I'm thinking with the current defense and a QB that turns the ball over will really show how bad this team is.
