    Leak source - It must be Brandon

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    Obviously the leak is someone close to Whaley. Always puts him in a good light while whoever the coach is is to blame. But it has backfired on him because the fans don't buy it - they know both are to blame.

     

    Brandon isn't the leak. The leak is one of Tim Graham's sources and Graham obliterates Brandon at least once a week.

    Ahhhh.... that's exactly what they want you to think. LOL Graham executing a Disinformation Campaign, to plant plausible deniability of RB as leak.

     

    RB is Deep Throat, wearing a trench coat, meeting Graham in Hammer's Lot.

    OP is likely correct.

     

    Though many commenters, as usual, over estimate the football operations influence of Brandon. He has nil influence on football. But I guess everyone has their scapegoat. But the key to a good scapegoat---it has to be plausible.

     

    For those wishing RB the door, cry in your beer, he ain't going nowheres. There guy who is....

     

    President of the Buffalo Bills
    President of the Buffalo Sabres (and managing partner)
    President of the Rochester Americans
    President of Pegula Sports and Entertainment

     

    ...is not the resume of guy who gets fired for a bad football streak, for which in a limited distant time, he had partial responsibility for.

     

    He is the leak.

    Would demoting Rex to DC work?

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    Just curious, from an intellectual point of view. I'm not suggesting it be done, nor ruling it out.

     

    Obstacles:

    • Rex probably signed a Head Coach contract, not a more flexible personal services, or generic coach contract
    • Egos of all involved: Rex, The Pegs, Whaley etc. would interfere
    • Rex contract may allow him to double-dip incomes, ex: get his Bills HC pay, while appearing at NBC or whomever... and Rex may want to do this

     

    Possible enablers:

    • Rex might like the idea. He always seemed outside his comfort zone and enjoyment level as HC. Many many fired HCs have reappeared as very successful DC or OC.
    • He would earn HC money as a DC
    • Rex appears to be the kind of guy who could set aside his ego and work hard to makes this work. At the end of the day, he seems like X and O's devotee.

     

    Demote Rex, Promote Lynn, Hire new OC. Have Coughlin provide consulting services.

     

    Please be easy on the replies guys. I'm asking a theoretical--because I've never seen this done. I'm not in Mom's basement with an NFL Stratego Board, Cheetohs and Red Bull.

     

     

     

     

    Doug Whaley - The Tim Graham Feature Story

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    edited... paragraphs are your friend. Use a new one when your thought flow changes slightly

     

    Reading Tim Graham article made me sick to my stomach to be a bill fan. What is worst, is the fans that believe that rubbish.

     

    How quickly we forgot the state of the Bills when Buddy Nix took over. The organization was in such shambles no one wanted to coach this team .Granted the main reason for this was the health of Ralph Wilson. More importantly the roster was not talented. Looking back the only major talent on the team was Marshawn Lynch and all of buffalo wanted him out of town. Where the roster was then, compared to now, is remarkable.

     

    Graham's article talked about the amount of draft picks still on the current roster during the term Whaley and Nix has presided over the team. He compare the Bills roster to the lowly Browns who kept their entire draft class about 15 deep. Then on the other hand compared the bills to the Steeler, Packers and Bengals who have had the same head coach / GM combination forever. In the last six years the bills has move from Jauron to Gailey,to Marone and now Rayan. We all know how the NFL works, new coaches bring new schemes, idea and players. Under Chan Gaily we were going to play a 3/4 defense with George Edwards. then we switch to a 4/3 with Dave Wannstead. Then Marone came with Petine and switch back to a 3/4. Petine leaves, we go back to 4/3 wide nine with Swartz. Then Rex comes and we over hall everything to move back to a 3/4.

     

    There is no way we can look at personal move in such a vacuum without considering the coaching staff. The biggest problem for Whaley is that he has never been given the ability to freely select his own head coach. Does anyone think he choose Marone or Rex. This team is far more talented on both sides of the ball than anytime within the last 5 years. Fans and the Bills management always want to fire the person that has actually done his job.

     

    It's time Whaley demand to the owners that he be allowed to do his job and get the coach he is comfortable with developing the talent that is clearly on this team. It doesn't matter how he acquires talent, draft , free agency... who cares. Tim graham is a unprofessional loser, that why he is back at the buffalo news instead of major national outlet writing crappy articles with a clear agenda. Every true Bills fan should know that article was not worth paper it was written on when Graham said Doug Marone wanted Fitz to be his quarterback...Really.. wake up BILLS FAN

    If Bills win Super Bowl, do we still clean house?

    I mean winning the Super Bowl is great and everything but it's not like this group would do it again, you know? It's not like they were great doing it. They didn't even pass for 300 yards once. Should it save Tyrod, Rex or Whaley.

    Well played. You make Dennis Miller proud.

     

    Young'uns today don't appreciate dry humor like they used to. They go straight for the nuclear option: sarcasm.

    We Should Pick Up the Option on Tyrod No Matter What

    Inspired by the Buffalo News headline "Should he stay or should he go: The Tyrod Debate "

     

    Now, sing in tune to the Clash classic "Should I Stay Or Should I Go"

     

    Darlin' you got to let me know
    Should I stay or should I go?
    If you say that you are mine
    I'll be here 'til the end of time
    So you got to let me know
    Should I stay or should I go?

    It's always tease tease tease
    You're happy when I'm on my knees
    One day is fine and next is black
    So if you want me off your back
    Well come on an' let me know
    Should I Stay or should I go?

    Should I stay or should I go now?
    Should I stay or should I go now?
    If I go there will be trouble
    An' if I stay it will be double
    So come on and let me know

    The bold text says to me: let Tyrod go.

    Shaq Lawson's first game

    Looked like he was in slow motion and completely unaware - BUT he has one practice, no camp, no preseason games, so to think he was going to fly around was wishful thinking. I think he will be a good player but for this year might not start to click til week 10 or so

    Thank you for the sensibility

    A farce

    Negative one game reactionary pussies...

     

    Fans are part of the problem.

     

    No wonder the "signature bridge" was never built. The town is dominated by negative navel gazer masterbaiters

     

    Man up by throwing the negativity overboard. WTF.

     

    Is Tyrod anti-clutch?

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted · Edited by boater

    1. I'll expand the question to the next thought: if Tyrod isn't the man, what is the answer?

     

    Dudes, We're in a 32 team league that has 10 so-called franchise QB's. Getting one of the 10 would savage your salary cap. Sure you could get one of the 10, and live a year or two of success before being in the league basement, for another long number of years. But who wants that?

     

    2. TT stares down his intended receiver from the snap.

     

    That fricken aggravates me to no end. Can it be fixed by coaching?

     

    3. TT has been mediocre, with the exception of turn overs. The lack of INTs was part of the 4-0.

    If you're Greg Roman...

    If I'm Roman, I'm too busy spending my "Highest Paid Out-of-Work OC" money to care. B-):thumbsup:

    Ya.

     

    Which makes me think the Pegula's were played.

     

    Roman: "The Marrone case played out with his double dipping, without any negative consequences to him. I shall do the same. If I suck enough, I will be fired with pay."

    Drink it in thirsty fans!

    As far as being someone's daughter, imo only in Buffalo would someone's daughter even get within 100 yards of some of these winners at Bills tailgates. I doubt he even knows who the first US president is, so social studies teacher is unlikely. Lastly I'm quite sure camera phones are exactly the reason they do this stuff. This video might be the pinnacle of this guys life.

    I have lived all over the country. I can assure you douche-bagette behavior is not a unique Bflo issue.

     

    I mean really... you have no knowledge of the Girls Gone Wild franchise?

    Any Love for Rex?

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    The real reason for success is this is Rex 2.0

     

    Rex realized Rex 1.0 sucked and needed changes. The biggest: he got out of play calling, and delegated. What good head coaches do.

     

    I read an article here last week, where Rex pretty much recognized he was part of the problem, and he made changes to overcome. That takes a big man.
