So you're saying Winning hurts the franchise?

Yeah, he doesn't clarify what he means at all. Doesn't make much sense.

Who do you think signed off on Osweiler? It's not just the GM.

PFF 2nd Team RB: Jay Ajayi PFF 3rd Team RB: Le'Veon Bell Seems like our defense kept Shady off of the PFF All-Pro team too.

Aaron Schatz (head of Football Outsiders) today said he thinks the best available candidate is Vance Joseph. I asked him "Is 19th in DVOA exciting"? His response: Given the personnel? Yes, it is. Dolphins LBs were some guy, journeyman guy, and guy whose knees only work sometimes. Miami's starting cornerbacks were a round 2 rookie and a guy who was a steaming crater in 2015. Top pass rushers were Mario, who will be cut again, and Wake, who apparently has magic powers. Thought it was an interesting take.

I heard Rex Ryan's name mentioned at a press conference today where the Bills talked about their search for a new coach.

I don't agree with this at all. I don't think the media has caused anything Bills related and Whaley could have handled today better. There's nothing to blame in the media for the Bills incompetence. Where I'm upset with the media is they rehashed the same crap for forty minutes. They could have touched so many other subjects and refused to do it. My god accept what happened and move on. They took a press conference that should have been extremely broad and made it about one issue, and as a result reduced the amount of information everyone got from today's session. These sessions with Whaley don't happen often. I don't blame the media for the Bills 17 years of ****. I do blame the media for dropping the ball on their jobs.

It's disappointing that the Buffalo media decided to focus on the Rex firing rather than football matters.

Oh good, Miami's defense was awful this year.

Yep, and reading between the lines Rex was never his guy, which is why he gets another shot. No issues with that at all from me. Yeah the stuff about not thinking about the firing was weak but the media asked the same questions like twenty times and couldn't comprehend the above. Just silly.

If I'm Lynn, I don't give two ***** about this press conference.

Or Whaley didn't have to ask because he wasn't supportive of Rex in the first place...

I think it's pretty clear Whaley is getting another shot because Rex wasn't his guy. Not hard to read between the lines in this PC.

As Kevin Massare said on Twitter, Rex reported right to The Pegulas. He was fired by the Pegulas. How is this hard to understand? We're actually fixing our organization structure to be the way it *SHOULD* be, putting our GM in charge of everything. It's pretty clear Whaley didn't want Rex, and that's why Whaley gets his shot now to hire his own coach.

PFF: Bills should build around Tyrod Taylor https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro-bills-should-build-around-tyrod-taylor-not-show-him-the-door/ Their conclusion: Taylors issue has always been consistency on the intermediate, more routine plays that make the difference between good quarterbacks and very good (or even great) ones, but to cut him loose because he may never fully master that aspect of the game and become great would be an exercise in degenerate gambling. The chances of the Bills rolling the dice and coming up with a better QB than Tyrod Taylor in the short-term are incredibly small, so Buffalo would be crazy to show him the door, and far better off trying to build around him.

Harold Goodwin? We're going to interview Curtis Modkins part two?

Without impacting the running game or a top ten scoring offense? Did you notice without the threat of Tyrod's legs the holes today dried up against a Sorry Jets team?

It's a dark, dark future if we don't pick up that option. There's no one else out there and this team is in the playoffs if the defense plays a little better. No Tyrod, we're done for 3 years.

If you actually clicked on the link you'd see it has the Bills at 24.6 offensive ppg, just like your math. And it still has the Bills in the top ten.

If you slow down on the posting, maybe you'll catch on to what people are saying. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/offensive-points-per-game You have to equalize points scored by offense. Bills are still top ten whether you look at just TDs or Offensive only scored points. This also doesn't account for situations where the defense got the ball back inside the red zone, which the Bills hardly did. If you slow down it might help your punctuation too; your posts are very hard to read.

This was a great article by Chris Trapasso outlining the issues with Rex's scheme. http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2016/12/26/14080850/buffalo-bills-rex-ryan-tyrod-taylor-sammy-watkins-lesean-mccoy

If only we had a top 10 passing QB that was good enough to overcome the issues rest of the team like the myriad of quarterbacks who did it in 2016. You know, top 10 passing yard QBs who made the playoffs like Drew Brees, Kirk Cousins, Philip Rivers, Joe Flacco, Andy Dalton, and Carson Palmer. I feel bad for the teams starting QBs like Alex Smith, Tom Savage, Ryan Tannehill. Clearly these AFC teams won't have a chance until they find someone better. If we can just go sign a guy like Hoyer, we'll finally have one of those top tier QBs that can lead us to the playoffs. Yeah, that didn't sound crazy at all.

If Lynn can put together a plan to fix the defense, then yes. He's been great overall as the OC. I do worry a bit about his in game decisions at times but he's definitely been successful.
