I believe that Whaley wanted Hue, but when it became obvious which way the wind was blowing with TP, he followed it. He'd have been stupid not to, you don't make it to his level without being able to swallow a few pills from the owner. Including the org chart.
-
I heard he's the reason they cancelled Firefly too early and is responsible for the formation of Nickelback
He also kidnapped the Lindbergh baby and bombed Pearl Harbor.
Neither of which matches up to the sheer horror caused by the formation of Nickelback.

Pure conflation. Nice try Hondo.
Does Doug Whaley know what it looks like? Because after yesterday's performance he seems confused with all the dotted lines and, you know, stuff. I'll bet he knows who signs his pay check.
He knows that the under the Rex Ryan era structure both the GM and the head coach report directly to the owner, which is really all that matters to him. As for how he comported himself yesterday, I can tell you from experience that It's not easy getting up in front of that many people and answering the difficult kind of questions that he did. You know, the kind where any answer you provide will be met with scorn and scoff. He did what he is paid to do, and under the circumstances, he did alright.

The Pegulillibles paid $1.4 billion or so for this franchsie and we don't even have an org chart.
Yeah, this will end up just fine.
What is THAT supposed to mean?
As for the org chart, I think its pretty clear they do have one. It just may not look the way that you want it to.
-
Feels like the press is trying to get they Pegulas to have the new HC report to Whaley, so they can burn the whole thing down when it fails.

This is nothing but clickbait for Major Bobbie

What endorsement can Doug Whaley make if he just said this: "There's a process in place (when it comes to making a coaching move). But ultimately it is the owners' decision"
You have to read the question in context:
"Q: When it comes to a decision on Rex or a coach, do you have a say? Is it Russ? Is it strictly owners?
Whaley: There's a process that we have in place, but the ultimate decision lies with ownership."
A lot different inference than you got from the tweet...

Good article that raises genuine concerns. At this point Id give Whaley a C plus. Hes done some very good things and some not so good things. Unless he and rex cant stand each other Im bringing everyone back for one more year. That includes Tyrod. Draft a qb in he top three rounds. Bring in a back up vet. Clean house if no playoffs next year including brandon.
Gotta love the typo police. Frustrated english majors who got blocked from the Edgar Allen Poe site for being overly argumentative. Come to TBD to put us commoners in our place.
You must have missed his post that inferred anyone who disagreed with his point of view had a low IQ. The rules of the internet clearly state that anytime you post on a message board calling someone stupid for disagreeing with you, and said post contains spelling and/or grammatical errors, you should be verbally shamed all participating in that thread....

Pretty sure you aren't supposed to huff the whole can in one shot.

If you are getting a 5 out of Cordy at LT, a 2 out of Mills at RT, a 4 out of Kujo at LT, and a 1 out of Kujo at RT, then simple comparative advantage says that if you move Kujo to RT, all you need to get out of Cordy at RT is a 3 to break even, but you'd more likely get a 4 or 5 out of him on the right. It's not the worst idea in the world.

Some Bills fans go on a rampage here every time Brandon's name is shown in any kind of derogatory light and yet he really is the man behind the curtain running the show. Besides. Brandon has only been in any kind of real power since Marv Levy retired and Russ took over.
What these new owners should have done first thing was to hire that football czar, senior football adviser or team president of football operations to right this listing ship of fools. Until a senior football man is hired not much will change.
Who is going on a rampage? The guy manages to sell suck year after year, so he's certainly good at that part of the job, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a single poster that wants him actually involved with football decisions. As for being the man behind the curtain, I don't think anyone here really knows what is happening behind the scenes at OBD, but some on this site have the guy sacrificing virgins, and I'm pretty sure Fadingpain produced a fuzzy picture of Russ eating lunch on the grassy knoll next to at Texas school book depository.

Here when I asked what I should say to people wanting Listenbee to play.

@CPTBobby simple answer. It's not his choice. He'd love to be out here, team has other plans.
So are you a captain or a major, Bobby?
-
He's not going anywhere. Honestly, if the Bills part ways with the Ryans, I see them bringing back Scwhartzy as Head Coach and promoting Lynn to Assistant Head Coach. That is the Billsy thing to do, no?
-
I wonder if the Bills buy insurance to offset/cover injuries? In other words, if Tyrod blows a knee and gets his full payment I wonder if an insurer would actually be on the hook for the full payment and not the Bills.
Some teams do it, but I think it's usually only for premier players.
-
I feel like their college scouts whiff a lot, but maybe that is just me being a hater.The way I look at it is, if he was in this upcoming draft, would I take him in the 2nd rd? I would.
I do realize his contract is coming up but if he's the real deal I'm not worried about that as much with the tag. QB is everything and if he does work out to be the guy it's worth it and you get one cheap year to evaluate.
Pats spent a 2nd on him so if you trust their Scouts...
-
what does that involve and do you think he could play?
It depends on what the treatment is. When mine locks up, prednisone sets me straight very quickly, certainly 2 day's is enough. Tend to doubt these guys are allowed to take it though. Probably put him on some yummy painkillers/NSAIDs and have him in the training room for massages and ice/heat all weekend. Traction is nice too, if it's in the training room. We should have a pizza delivered....

One of the biggest pet peeves of my life and the reason I don't hold Marv Levy as high as others is that he dismantled the K-Gun cause Walt Cory sold him that the Bills were scoring too fast and the defense was getting gassed. Think about that a bit... Intentionally slow down what I think is the greatest offense of all time (to that point) because they were scoring too fast.....
I hear you, but there are miles between the K-Gun and TTs version of a Bills' offense, to be sure.
-
Respectively disagree. It is not like other teams get 5 downs to get a first down. If the defense does its job they get off the field. Tired of the "They are gassed" nonsense. They are professional athletes and if they do what they are being paid for they would be off the field and the offense would have a chance to try again to put up a few more scores. There are no style points for how you score.
I understand what you're saying and I also respectfully disagree. There are styles of play that are conducive to winning football, and a high number of 3-and-outs on offense really hampers the team.
You guys are both right, it doesn't have to be either or, does it? If the offense can do a better job of sustaining drives, the defense has less time on the field and is less tired. If the defense can do a better job of stopping the opposing offense, they'll spend less time on the field and be less tired.

There was protection against what you stated it was called the Franchise Tag. Now they are going to compound the issue and pick up the option watch
Forgot option 3 that majority of teams use on a one year performer. Play the 3.5M deal and if performs again re-sign or Tag.
Now the stupid option is a Two year deal with huge dead money on the backend if he doesn't perform. Yet again
Only smart if they use their Bail clause. If they don't they just compounded the issue.
The lock in with the loophole in an of itself was smart. What they should have done was to pro-rate the extension value based on production.
-
Major, I'm demoting you to 2nd Lieutenant for whiffing on this.
The reason they gave him a new contract was because they feared TT would have such a hell of a second year that they would have to pay him a king's ransom for a long term deal. But because of lessons learned with Fitz and others, they hedged their bet by giving themselves an easy out in case he didn't have a great second year. Because the second scenario has come to pass, all they need do is release him.
I don't get how people struggle with this so much. It was a smart business decision at the time, and still is.

Very classy post, but I am all good, and hoping for a big W this weekend. You?time to up your autism meds, dude, your human emotion translation routines aren't working correctly
Disagree about the Jets, they closed up shop for the season last week. I think we beat the Fins too, Tanny is still terrible, deep down.Their remaining schedule isnt that easy. Those are divisional games, those games are never easy. Were 1-3 in our division, the Jets aintgonna roll over and die for us, and the Fins have a decent D and a better QB than we do.

Sports fans sometimes use exaggeration as a marker for what we modern people sometimes refer to as "humor" or a tangentially related notion called "sarcasm". I'm sorry if I've upset your delicately nuanced view of how fans sometimes express frustrations at their favorite team, and encourage you to get back to your actuarial tables to help you decide if the bills are going to make the playoffs
That wasn't supposed to be funny. People with limited intellect use hyperbole to make shallow points.
-
Fella? Oh, so you're elderly. Sorry, nevermind, don't want to angry up your blood right before Matlock comes on.
Meanwhile the rest of us can continue to imagine scenarios as ridiculously unlikely as the Bills making the playoffs this year, which is the theme of this thread. I realize there's a lot to unpack there, maybe someone can help you with that.
Lets take a deep breath here. I don't think you understood my original point, which was simply that it is more likely than you think that the Bills make the playoffs. Unlikely? Yes. As unlikely as you suggested in your post? No. Not sure what has you so worked up.

Drama queen? Kathy Bates? Good work, captain joke getter. You must be a blast at parties.
Your hyperbolized zinger about Sophia Vergara really had the board on the edge of its seat, fella.
