Great job

Flutie probably could have been less of a jerk, but an owner dictating who plays QB is never going to end well. The entire RJ-Flutie situation was a mess. The moment that Ralph decided to bench Flutie was the moment that tore the team apart. Everything else is somewhat moot knowscetaintexcae
Wade deserves a lot of blame, he had no balls, just like with the entire turmoil with Doug/Johnson, it was his job to stop it, just like in Dallas, the owner wants to steamroll you if they care to, he/she will. Wade tacitly likes to leave the blame on Ralph but the only ones that really know what happened are Ralph and Wade. The current football urban legend is that Ralph demanded Wade start Rob, I am skeptical. I dont care what ever second party hearsay from Andree Reed or anyone else has to opin.

It's one of those things where if there's smoke there's fire. Different accounts pointing to basically the same thing. The most famous was Gleason's article in 2001 - it's hard to find on the net still - but copied here https://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/90671-you-gotta-love-the-flutie-magic/page-18?do=findComment&comment=1467198
Wow, I never read this before but here were a lot of other indications and it was well known half the Bills (like Bruce Smith) were for Flutie, other half for R Johson. Again Wade deserves a lot of blame, he couldnt keep it under control. I recall the Music City Miracle game, little Dougie pouted the entire game sitting on the bench, didn't stand and help R Johnson at all. As that article said, it was more about Doug Flutie than the Bills. Flutie was QBing a lot that year, i am sure there are things he saw and could have helped, he should have acted like a pro, not a spoiled brat.
Flutie also worked the press, he worked jim Rome and he eat it up, Flutie was always mocking R Johnson for being a, well lets say alternative life style guy from CA with a bandanna, the press picked up on it so much there is even a youtube video where a respected Bills reporter mocks Johnson about the Bandanna saying Johnson was a poor leader, Johnson probably was, he apparently never stood up for himself and had the appearance of being very weak.
Both Johnson and Wade were weak imo and Doug ran all over them. That is on reason why I think Wade was a very poor HC which a lot of people disagree with, great DC, poor HC. Wade also let Jerry Jones run all over him in Dallas.

No video needed. You just have to trust the process. Believe in the process. The process is not tangible. It is nothing...yet everything. It is flavourless..yet is rich in flavor.
It is the process.... obviously. Now let's go get a fn snack.
that was pretty damn funny

I watched him play. Every game he played as a Bill. Loved the D, Flutie was ok. Hated the personality, he thought he was better than his play said he was. He was a QB that every game I watched him play I wanted to replace with someone better.
100% spot on, you wil get dumped on here but I agree. He helped fracture the lockerroom and Wade was too weak to reign him in. His best year with the Bills he had 3,171 yd, 55% completion, 19 tds, 16 ints, i guess impressive by Bills standards.
-
The Bills fans and the fascination with Flutie never ceases to amaze me 17 years later.
-
Bills fans just turn on anyone that leaves or has an opinion. Rex has done more with his life than many of you put together.
Certainly helps to have his father as a legendary NFL: head coach. He would be a High School position coach with Buddy.
Having sail that, I would love to hear him as a color commentator, you could never predict what boneheaded stupid thing or insult would come out of his bloated mouth.

Bledsoe
Flutie
Fitz
Taylor
Orton
For some reason or another I enjoyed watching the games when Fitz and Orton were playing even though the teams may not have been as good.
I agree. Orton actually got us a winning season and Fitz brought us the good squad and Fitzmagic, phenomenons that lasted bout 7 weeks, to go along with a huge contract extension. Fitz was fun, gotta give the guy credit he could throw a bad int and come right back and throw another, and then another.

Thinkof this, his two former teams are projected to be at or near the bottom in the NFL.
Vegas Odds to win the Super Bowl from have the Jets 1000 to 1, the Bills 200 to 1....There is 4 way tie between Cleveland, San Fran, Chic and Jax at 100 to 1.
i thought it was a "good" team too. Then 10 men on the field happened and I lost all faith I had left in Rex. That was when I finally said he had to go. Then the interview after he was fired and that made me nauseaus because he couldn't be more classless in addition to not putting in the effort to make the team a winner.
I bought all in on Rex, I admit it but I did a 180 after the Kansas City game where he screwed up all the challenges and tried to use as an excuse he didnt know how the replay system worked. Really, after being a NFL HC for 6 season didn't know how the replay system worked? Inexcusable.
Then the Pegula's let him bring in the ft slob brother of his, the DC from the worst Defense in the NFL that was fired mid-season, truly unbelievable.
The 10 men on the feild wasnt that a TD versus the Texans, that was a beauty. Or how about out 2 minute drills with Tyrod Taylor, wowzer, some of those were classics.

If the article is criticizing the Cardale Jones trade i thin they are dead wrong, Cardale is a disaster at QB, miracle they got anything and Boldin retiring was a god send to us, over the hill to say the least. And yes he is a rookie but Jones has shown a lot at WR and that deserves to be mentioned in the "no wide receivers" sentence.
I want to see the team Boldin joins, that wil be good for laughs

I wonder what happens to that 26.74 if you take Lorax out of the mix and replace him with a 26 year old.
Excellent point.
The average age really isnt relevant, what you need to evaluate are how many KEY players on the downside, Lorax, K Williams, Incognito . and how many players are on the edge Wood (good thing we just extended him) McCoy, Clay, Ducasse (puke), Banyard, T Jones (how did he make the roster?)
You have a Colt Anderson on the roster who is 31, does he really matter, of course not.
-
1) I think the plethora of draft picks is going to radically change that next year. We are going to build off of next years draft.
2) Sorry, I can't get over anxious because the Bills average 26.74 whereas the league median is 25.96.
-
Great breakdown, much appreciated.
About what I thought/feared. Looks like Peterman wil do very well but will be highly limited and easy to gameplan against. Too bad they didnt even have him throw a long ball to see what he has.Peterman wil be a very good & reliable NFL backup, he isnt going to be a franchise QB.
-
Wow, that was quick. He must be the highest drafted QB cut so far, wonder if they are angling for a PS for him.
-
Typical message board overreaction to a preseason hero going on in here.
Yep, he is this year Micheal Jasper, future HOFer that just slipped through our hands due to OBD stupidity.
-
No we are down to like 7 players on the roster that we drafted
Wow, that is amazing, I am assuming you are not counting the rookies, let me see if i can name the Wood, Miller, Dareus, Washington, K Williams, Lawson, Seymour, O "leary
edit: I looked it up, also add in the Seantrel Henderson Cordy Glenn so that is at least 10
-
I'm curious on what the over/under should be on how many guys will be on our opening day roster who on not on the Bills today. Surely we drop below 53 and pick some guys up, but I wonder who they have their eyes on?
And I have no idea who will be (or would be considered) a surprise cut. But I'll know it when I see it!
I am going to say 2, one OL and one WR...possibly an OLBer
Does Seantrel Henderson count against the 53 man roster, if he does he would be my surprise cut.
-
He's the best since Marv or so I've heard.
2:49 PM - 31 Aug 2017Damn does Marv look good for 92. Wonder what he is doing hanging around OBD.

Define many. Having the 26th DVOA Offense in 2014 was pretty bad. 25th in 2013, 26th in 2010, 29th in 2009, 30th in 2005. Our offense has consistently been in the bottom 3rd to bottom half of the league over the course of the drought. Only in the past 2 years has it been top 10 this millennium. Next highest was back in 2000 when they ranked 14th...
Are those actual numbers, I didn't realize it was that bad, knew it was unwatchable though.

Great read, thanks for posting.
that was like a Tiger Beat article
So do you have a subscription or buy it at newsstands.

Seems reasonable, if we do any better McDermott for coach of the year
-
You really think Miller is on the bubble? I would be beyond shocked and unbelievably appalled if this happens. To me, not only has Miller outplayed Ducasse, but Ducasse has looked pretty freakin terrible, and on too many occasions. My personal opinion on this is that McDermott likes Ducasse, and also is on mission to rid the team of ALL of Whaley's draft picks. Honestly, if Miller is cut I will lose a TON of respect for Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane, because a move like this defies logic, and screams "ego and power trip". Again, not only do I think Miller has outplayed Ducasse, but I think he is a valuable asset to our O-line, and has shown marked improvement from one year to the next, is still young and has alot of good football in front of him....if we cut him, wherever he goes next he will be the starting RG, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him make his first pro-bowl...
I 100% agree with you on Andre Holmes, he SHOULD squarely be on the bubble. However, with losing Sammy and Boldin retiring, I suspect he will make the roster. If I'm not mistaken he is the tallest receiver we have right now, and his size makes him harder to get rid of. Sammy was 6'2, and Boldin was 6"1 or 6'2..
So my 3 would be Ducasse, Ola, and Mudge.
Yeah, if that actually happened miller would be swooped up in a nano-second and as for Beane and McDermott...it would be real difficult to have any respect for them

thank a player this week, God lord.
In the aftermath of what is going on in Houston, one cop already lost his life and you want us to thank a player for " These guys give up their bodies and a portion of their lives for our entertainment" .
Idolized, spoiled, wildly overpaid and you want us to thank them?
How about thanks a first responded or a cop that puts there life on the line, half th country hates them and they get paid $60k/yr.
How about thank a construction worker or a looper in a steel mill (well I guess that doesn't exist anymore in WNY) for their hard and dangerous work.
Thank a player. Ridiculous. Yeah right because they dont get their arses kissed enough.
By the way, very classy move on the part of Jerry Hughes, good for you Jerry.

Losing Anquan Boldin, LOL.
I am a lot more worried about our offensive line, if it is as bad as it was in pre-season having Sammy wouldn't have made any difference.

Well that is perfect timing for his cause, absolutely perfect. Where are all the cell phone videos of this? How come we haven't heard about this til now?
