LOL wut??? Take a gander at some in-season threads to see how funny that statement is.

But Rex wasn't allowed to leave the building. The Pegulas were cornered.

Bills only signed Sanjay Lal to a 2-year deal, so he was a free agent. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/report-bills-reach-two-year-deal-with-wr-coach-sanjay-lal/

I'm sure changing OC after week 2 of the season had no negative effect on Tyrod's performance. Trotting out your #4 WR as your #1 for a good part of the season is also a non-factor. In fact, all seasons exist in a vacuum for players, so it's easy to see Tyrod's play simply declined from last year.

The cap hit is spread out through the course of the contract. Tyrod's contact is very manageable even after year 2: http://www.espn.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/25513/bills-have-unique-flexibility-with-tyrod-taylors-extension

He might be a Denney.

I just checked - Robert Woods was on the injury report pretty much all season in 2015, starting in week 1. He apparently tore it in training camp, according to the old articles. Albeit the Bills were reporting a hip injury, but perhaps they are not required report more than one ailment per player.

Yes, I expect the Bills to get punished for skirting the rules, if that is the case. Again, it doesn't matter if you think the rule is bad - it was collectively bargained as such. My biggest takeaway from this ordeal is it's probably best for teams to not to publicly admit when they break the rules.

Every team is expected to follow all of the rules or risk getting punished. Debating whether the rule is stupid is irrelevant to that point. The NFL has this rule so bettors with inside information can't gain an advantage when gambling on a game. However, since teams now have to let the world know who's injured, hiding players from the list is creating an unfair advantage for your team (avoid opponents from targeting an injured player, etc.) If a team truly feels listing a player on the injury report would compromise the safety of the player, then perhaps he shouldn't be playing.

Every other team has to follow the injury reporting rules, which are negotiated by both the players and owners in the CBA. Seahawks blatantly broke the rule and publicly admitted doing so. Punishment well deserved.

I don't have any issue with challenges or automatic replays - they can even expand it as far as I'm concerned. Getting calls right is better than speeding things up. However, if you really want to speed up the game, eliminate TV timeouts and reduce commercials. Neither scenario is likely. Players will *never* stop complaining about calls or non-calls to the officials. It's a time honored tradition in every sport.

Please point out a player in the NFL that does not profess to be a devout Christian, because I can't think of any.

I've been saying basically the same thing ever since I moved from the Buffalo region over 20 years ago. People in WNY are very friendly and will literally trip over themselves to hold the door open for you, but they also moan and complain about things out of their control more than anyplace else.

Geesh, you are really reading too far into my post. I never said I had a problem whatsoever.

By Pegula mentioning McDermott being "faith-based" as one of the key reasons in hiring him, it leaves the impression that those who don't live by a faith are somehow inferior in his eyes.

No. Poor speaking/communcation is not related to intelligence. That is just flat out incorrect. http://www.learning-mind.com/why-many-smart-people-have-communication-difficulties/

Are you insinuating that people who are poor public speakers aren't intelligent? That's just absurd.

If what Shefter says is true, it looks like Pegula will be reporting to the new HC.

This is just another example of Bills fans unfairly blaming the media for being completely wrong again. Only columnists get to rate other people at their jobs; accountability and accuracy are not required for them, sillies.

In the grand scheme of things, who really cares if people are laughing at the Bills or the owner or GM? They'll still hire a coach, likely the first one they want. People will still buy tickets to the games and merchandise in droves. The TV money will continue to roll in like it grows on trees. Outside perception changes basically nothing.

It's great to see such passion for the truth! Yes, let's hold all NFL coaches and GMs accountable for their lies, even when it means having them throw anyone in their organization under the bus when the press demands it.

Rodak shockingly had a really good breakdown of Tyrod's contract http://www.espn.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/25513/bills-have-unique-flexibility-with-tyrod-taylors-extension

Tyrod had a bad game no doubt but his biggest issue remains having no legit pass catchers. Woods went down in the first with 3 catches & 41 yds.

Funny how Tyrod plays 100% better when Woods (the only legit starting WR we have) is playing.

We should rename Rex and Rob the Dangerfield brothers... no respect! Football experts unanimously pick the Pats to win. Bills thump them and now the experts collectively say "well of course the Bills should've won that game playing against a 3rd string QB"
