I remember reading on this forum long ago that Doug would never be a HC again. Then they laughed at him for ending up as a offensive line coach. Then I read in here that he would never get along with Tom Coughlin because they both had big egos. Now all his success is strictly because of Tom Coughlin and he's just a yes man. Some of you have been haters so long your becoming fans. I wouldn't rather have Doug man but you can give him a slice of credit.

"I respect the choice made in moving on from me. I will do everything I can to prove it was the incorrect choice" - what could of been said.

I fixed an error.

Thanks for a some deeper insight. I didn't get a chance to see this in the main thread. I read this and thought we are rolling out with a rookie QB next year. I don't know why.

I think it can be a good conversation if you actually had the potential to move into the 1 and 2 spots. I would rather trade to move into the 1 or 2 spots next year then settle for less this year. Rushing things is how you make mistakes. You drive fast you get to your destination faster. You also potentially wreck. I'd rather them make the smart move over a desperate gamble for something not in that 1 or 2 sweet spot. I'm sorry I just think it's go big or go home. I'm not in favor in making a splash and throwing around picks for scraps after everyone else got to pick off the plate first.

I think it depends on the opportunities and options that he has. If he has a chance to be a guaranteed starter someplace, I think he would jump on that opportunity because I believe he isn't a guaranteed starter in Buffalo anymore in my opinion. I think if there is no interest for him elsewhere he absolutely would stick around and contend for the position with any competition brought in. I don't see him as a guy that lets hurt feelings decide his actions. He makes the safe play in the end. Tyrod wants to be a starter. I think he would jump at the best opportunity to be a starter even if it was in a competition for the starting role in Buffalo. I'm not sure if another team would be very interested in him honestly. In the end I think he ends up in the same situation he was in when he first came to Buffalo. Brought in to fight it out with other maybe guys and he might beat them out if he's the better of the maybe guys. That is my best case scenario for him. I think the benching was a huge clue. That is a nail in the coffin for sure. I think the final nail should be walking out of a playoff game with 3 points. If the other 3 point games didn't convince anybody.

This is amazing. Words can not express how awesome that is. Great entertainment. Thanks man I needed the laughs.

Also don't forget Dennison got his share of threads and trashing to. Even our new OC is getting his share of getting dumped on and the dude hasn't even unpacked.

No I get what your saying. I was just having a little fun. People are going hard on trashing Tyrod. I know Tyrod tried his best for the Bills. He took a benching and a real beating in a few games and dude is tough and keeps ticking. He's resilient so I have not counted him out even when I still kinda feel let down. I believed in him too. People are mostly venting because playoffs and end of the year feelings. I think the hate will die down. It's just still in it's 15 mins of Fame stage.

I think you can be supportive of Tyrod. I just hope you understand that the offense was kind of a joke this year. So naturally Tyrod is gonna shoulder the blame. I understand that the delivery of peoples thoughts on Tyrod can be harsh. I know you want to defend a guy you support. I have reasons why I would want Tyrod to not be the QB next year. It's because I don't believe his side of the ball earned the right to go to the Playoffs with the defense. Even when they got to tag along riding on the backs of the defense they put up 3 points in another game the defence handed to them so they could drop out. The offense has had a tendency to not score points. I don't feel I'm a bad guy for feeling that way. It could be I am blaming Taylor for everything but bros I never seen him light it up this year enough to interested in another try. Even with all the excuses you could afford him. I could be wrong. It might be possible every excuse is the reason and Tyrod is the man. I just seen enough personally to not give it another try. If you believe Tyrod is the man and a 10-3 exit from the Playoffs is excusable then we just disagree and that is fine. Look Tyrod is a fine back up. He's proven he can come in and manage a few games enough to win. He's the elite of back up quarter backs even in my view.

That's all I could ask. Not like you have to be elite QB. Just make enough plays to score more then 10 points. Especially when your in the Playoffs and you had time and games to find a groove.

I'm it the twilight zone. First it was "All you need is a franchise quarter back!". Now I'm reading "You can win with average QBs look!" Any given Sunday anything can happen and unpredictable stuff can happen. Best not to live in extremes.

I can hate the Jaguars over a coach that left the Bills or I can hate the team who is almost guaranteed to deal the Bills two losses and be top of the division for years while being scandalous with cheating. Easy choice for me. The Patriots rain on my parade more then the Jaguars ever could.

I'm definitely no expert. In my opinion whatever the offense was this year was not acceptable. I do think investing heavily in the line would help in the development of a rookie QB. If your gonna tie up big money in a QB with a name then maybe you have to sacrifice what you could do with the line. Simple answer is yes I would love an upgraded elite o-line. I wouldn't mind some domination in the trenches. I'd rather build a brick wall then a wooden fence if I'm thinking protection. I also realize I can't always have what I want. I wouldn't find anything about this year's offense acceptable outside of running back and kicker.

Honestly I don't think benching Tyrod is a good sign for the future. That's just my thought. It could be that Dennison was so bad he brought the entire offense down. I won't rule that out. They did fire him promptly. I still think that the Jacksonville game was a golden opportunity for Tyrod to change the narrative on himself. A touchdown and a field goal away from really helping his cause. That is where I would end the experiment but that's only my view and I'm not the coach. I'm not jumping out the window if Tyrod is the QB next year. My disappointment doesn't equal the level of disgust you might run into with others. I don't care what they do as long as we score more then 3 points in a game. The offense was a sad clown this year. I just want just a little better.

I think he means Peterperson.

Tyrod was a touchdown and a field goal away from proving his point. That's how you get the money!!!

I like Tyrod Taylor a lot. I liked the idea of finding a diamond in the rough. I was intrigued by some of his natural ability. I would have given him a shot at becoming our starter. I was rooting for him. I wouldn't throw the blame all his way. I think every player is out there trying to give thier best for the most part and always trying to improve. Sadly not every girl will be queen of the prom. That is my position now. They plucked him from back up obscurity. Gave him a shot at being a starter. Tried to mold him into what the league wants in starting quarter backs. It all ended in Jacksonville for me. (Although you must know it did slightly for me in the Panthers game.) The opportunity was right there. The red carpet was rolled out. I don't think your gonna get a better chance then that to prove your the face of the franchise.

Honestly you don't think him getting benched is a serious sign? I'm not saying anything is set in stone but if you follow the clues it doesn't look good. It leads me to ask why would they desperately bench him for a rookie if they had him in the future plans. That was as big of a white flag moving on to next season as you can get. I don't think walking away from a playoff game with 3 points would persuade those in charge to think differently.

Honestly I like Doug. I thought the Bills had a shot with him at HC. I had a feeling when he left that he would rise up again. That being said we got McDroughtKiller and Bean Dip and they also did an admiral job with what they walked into. So I never wanted Doug to bounce but my loyalty is in this new staff. So instead of think about what could of been with Doug I am more into what will be with our guys. We made the Playoffs in a year the team dropped a lot of weight and made some trades. I seen "firesale" and "tank" thrown around and Coach still smashed the drought. Don't get caught thinking the grass is greener on the other side. I think McLegend is the result of learning from that mistake. They tried to make a splash with a big name Rex and drowned. Then they grabbed another potential up and coming and gave him all the power Doug wanted. I think they learned from that mistake.

I mean the red carpet was rolled out for him. Even after all the disasters this season Tyrod had a golden opportunity to win a playoff game. When the defense would go fetch the ball back in the start of the year did Taylor ball out and obliterate teams? When the field position was good did Tyrod feast? In the playoff game was Tyrod able to lead the Bills to victory when the opponent can only score 10 points? As a QB you couldn't ask for more when having to hold up your side of the show. He had a chance to change the narrative about him. He can't ever say he didn't.

I get the sentiment of wanting to build around Tyrod when we snuck into the playoffs. Then we lost 3 to 10. Doesn't matter anyway his time was over when he got benched. Tyrod was only out there because there was no other option. Even with a chance at redemption he choked away a playoff game. I'm not living in past. His time was this year and his moment was in Jax and he failed.

I liked our defense this year. I know it wasn't perfect but I was confident that the defense would keep us in games. I didn't like the offense this year. Even when it was turnover heaven it seemed the offense never capitalized. I had more faith in defense production then offense production. The playoff we played against Jax gave me the exact feeling as the game against the Panthers. We can't score points. We held Jax to 10. If we won that game it would of been the same situation. The defense probably holds up for the offense to choke the game away. I think the offense needs some real attention. They rode on the backs if defense all year. Although I assume that it was not an option and they rolled with what they had. Excited for the future definitely.

Daboll.... Daboll... Badoll? Badoll... Bad Doll!! Bad Doll!!!

That was my point on how I see people gang up. Just that when your the loudest you get the most attention. Big targets easy to hit.
