Marv gets an F just for the hire of Dixon Jauron. From what I read and heard, Marv was just a figure head, to make Bills fans forget about Donahue...who had angered Bills fans.
Jauron had the most input of any one on the room...his picks just screamed of Jauron. Small, fast players....who were injury prone and struggle to play football.

I dunno. Most overrated coach in the NFL.
I give him credit for brining some stability to that organization, but 0-6 in the Post Season is indefensible!!!

Thanks for reiterating your position on that topic "boys" ...
Yeah...he might want to consider changing that name

Not nearly as many. Not even close
While we all can agree soccer can be violent, studies and stats support your statement.
Keep in mind this. It is pretty much public knowledge that both the NFL and players withheld information on report concussions. So what information we do have, it is likely worse for football.
Everyone knows that smacking your head against anything can cause some long term problems. I think the NFL for once is actually taking the right steps to prevent an identified player who had a concussion and putting him back on the field.
This isn't bad, but people in general are resistant to good change (for what ever reason...and it is usually dumb) and are overdramatizing the long term effects of these changes.

People always overreact to change. Football 🏈 is still very popular in the US and the NFL is a cash cow. People who are saying it is a dying sport are just being dramatic.
The south and the mid west are pipelines for college teams and they are suffering any recruiting issues because of head injuries.
Players are bigger, stronger and faster then they were in the 60'sand 70s. Now we have science to help and treat head injuries and of course A group of fans are going to be upset about good change.
The NFL needs to protect 20 year olds from making decisions to get back on the field when they have suffered a head injury. Just because you as a fan want to live in the past where you believe the sport was great...doesn't make it so. If you feel that way, go on YouTube and watch "the good old days".
People always complain about change and then overreact to it and act as if the sky is falling.

Sullivan calls out the BS that has occurred in the FO for years. Despite what fans want to believe, he has been more right than wrong.
Sullivan didn't get lost in the win against the Jets. Throughout the preseason, these WRs struggle to gain separation and while targeting Shady McCoy and Clay worked against the Jets, eventually these WRs are going to need to show of the can step up in crunch time.
I don't mind Sully at all. He asks the hard questions and fans hate him because he doesn't buy into all the nonsense that the FO has tried to sell us (Levy as a GM, Nix as a GM, the Jauron no huddle offense, Brandon as a GM, Rex as a HC, etc). He calls them out.
I'll go on record that you are likely two people I wouldn't enjoy spending a whole lot of time with (and I'm sure that doesn't bother you one bit).
Life is too short to focus on negativity. Sports are a fun pastime. And if you go back and analyze all of Sully's "recommendations" over the years he likely has a worse record than even the Bills' GMs. For covering football all these years he is remarkably ill-informed.
How is he misinformed? He has been more right than wrong over the last 17 years. And while sports is suppose to be fun, this crap over the last 17 years has been nothing short of a joke.

I think people are overreacting on the lack of a pass rush. The plan was obviously to get the ball out quickly and the Jets WRs TJ get yards after the catch.
Credit has to go to the D-Line for the lack of quality runs allowed and to the LBs/Dbs for not allowing a big play. They allowed about 200 yards...that is a good day.
The defense wasn't as good as I had hoped against a career backup QB. It will be interesting to see how they perform against Carolina.
OTOH the penalties that have plagued this team for years was much improved.
That rushing attack was a thing of beauty and even with the fullback toting the rock. 1-0 in the division!
They held the Jets to 200 yards and one TD...that is pretty good. It is on reasonable to expect the Bills to shut them out.
-
An attorney would object and say asked and answered. He asked, McDermott answered. They had better matchups with Clay and McCoy.
Be honest now. If they had targeted say Matthews 9 times and Clay a couple, don't you think his question and column would have been about ignoring the TE and how that will cost them down the road?
Maybe, but seeing how these WRs struggle to get open in ththe preseason and didn't appear to get open against the Jets, I think it is a viable question.
You can object all you want, this game plan worked last year against sub 500 teams, but when real teams come in, will the WRs get open or will you blame Tyrod for not getting the ball to them?
-
People want to believe that the Bills were holding back and exploiting matchups. The question is a viable one...were the lack of cataches due to the WRs not getting off the line.
-
The concern I have about the lack of targets to WRs is this....was it gameplanned? Or was it because they were struggling to get off the line and get open?
It isn't a Debbie downer question...it is a real question about these WRs, that they have no one proven that can go deep and they struggled to beat coverage in preseason.
This formula may work against the worst team in the NFL, but against teams that have real weapons, where you need WRs to get open, can these WRs get open?
That is what Sully imo was getting at. To not acknowledge this issue is silly.
-
If there is any way to get out of the contract (i.e. What Houston did with Brock Osweilier) they need to consider it. Whaley learned from Nix to mismanage the cap and contracts. This contract is horrible for a guy like Dareus as there is no accountability on his part.
Maybe he will get it, but I doubt it. He hasn't yet.
-
As a poster stated, tanking in ththe NFL is basically pointless. You stockpile picks and hope you land a QB.
KC was always going to be a good team...so that pick was always going to be high
-
Do people watch football? The Chiefs have been consistently good since Reid arrived. He made that trade knowing his team would win 10 or more games and have no chance at a QB early in 2018.
He was Mahones because he felt he could develop him over two years.
This isn't rocket 🚀 science 🔬 people!!!!
-
So sick of the Watkins whining. He will have a good year as he plays for a contract. What I would not want is the 2018 and forward risk. Only time will tell, but no way I would give Sammy $15+ million a year no matter what he does in his contract year. To get a starting CB and a high pick for not doing so was GENIUS!
Never has a WR with such modest on-field achievement been so mourned. You would think we traded Rice in his prime.
If we had a passing QB or a proven QB, then I may be one of those whiners. However, this team is building for the future and stockpiling picks. They are tearing down the foundation built by a shoddy GM.
Time will tell if these moves work, but these moves needed to be done
-
Maybe the culture they are building is wrong?
I'm sure just about EVERY team in the NFL would love to have Watkins.
Maybe it is wrong, but Whaley's way was proven to be wrong. Bloated caps, over spending, bungling the Watkins Trade, having issues with every coach.
A healthy Watkins, with a capable QB and as someone said....a reasonable cap number, yes, maybe everteam would want that. However, he isn't healthy, this is a running team with a marginals QB and his cap number would be bloated...especially after having 400 yards last year.
-
This.
Self inflicted holes that I'm sure they will blame on Whaley when the team blows this year.
Whaley traded Watkins?
No but he drafted EJ and traded up (in a WR heavy draft) to obtain Watkins who has been hurt a lot.
Also, keeping Watkins would've been very difficult for a team whose cap is bloated (because of Whaley) at the top.
Yes, the OP is correct, the last regime created this hole and left very little to build around on offense.
-
Tougher schedule, offense that doesn't fit the players we have, weak receivers with no one to draw safeties away from playing near the line of scrimmage, and a ton of roster turnover as well as new coaches and scheme on defense with a suspect secondary/linebacking corps.
I have this team between 5-7 wins.
Sadly, this is likely true.
If this team was returning this exact same roster as last year, maybe they win 7-9 games, but they have a huge turnover and I don't think Tyrod fits this offense at all.
-
What if he plays great?
He needs to do it again. If he plays poorly, he needs to rebound!!!
-
Stats lie
I want them to win..:that is all I care about. Now, I want him to hit his WRs, not overthrow people down the seem and not take bad sacks.
You can throw for 300 yards and QB poorly. Judging a QB solely by his stat line is pure insanity....especially when the team has no real WRs and is a running team.
-
No, it didn't bother me at all because after 17 years, the Bills deserve all the negative comments they get. Good teams rarely get fleeced. The Bills lost Gillesse because the GM put a 5th round tender on him.
The Bills lost Hogan because the GM mismanaged the cap and couldn't match the offer NE placed. Think the Bills missed him last year when's Watkins went down and were dumpster diving for WRs?
Gilmore is a decent corner, but I think they will realize quick that he isn't a shut down corner, but can make an occasional play vs subpar QBs.
-
I'm usually down about this team and this year is no different. I do think better days are ahead because they finally cleaned up the scouting department and some people in the FO are gone (Not Brandon, but I don't think he has as much say with this new regime).
That said, they don't have a QB, that one puts them behind NE. They have a better front 4 than nE and imo...a better RB, but that is about it.
They have better depth, better scouts, proven coaching and they have a better QB and a QB in the pipeline to replace Brady.
The Bills finally have a plan and they are dumping the overrated Whaley players. But the Bills are really only better than the Jets imo.
-
First off, we have seen the best of Tyrod, so him being unleashed isn't going to blow anyone away.
Second, who is he throwing to when he starts unleashing these passes? The WR core is pretty weak and at best...unproven.
The best thing that can happen is that the run game clicks, which allows play action passes to be more viable and they allow Tyrod to operate more in shotgun.
I like Taylor, I think he tries and wants to win, but I don't see it happening to him this year!!!
-
I dont think the issue was ever not resigning TD Mike, the issue was not putting a higher round tender on him. Should have learned from the lesson the year before with Hogan.
To your point on Banyard, reminds me a lot of TD Mike. But he has to show he can hold onto the ball.
Spot on point and again proves Whaley needed to go. His mismanagement of picks, caps and inability to put appropriate tenders on certain players were all fireable offenses!!!
I'm all for giving Joe a chance and imo...RBs are done a dozen anyways. That said, Whaley should've given him a higher tender.
