Why not?
According to one of their dumb commercials only 40% of women buy the right size pad
I don't even want to think about how they figure that out.

You would think that with such an in-demand football genius, those teams would be more "privy"
No success in 7 years in a high up role/gm
+
Feuding with 2 head coaches
+
Catastrophic cap decisions
+
Trading up in the draft with awful results
+
A media liability

Imo he doesnt sniff a gm position
Maybe he gets on somewhere as a pro scouting director and can figure things out and work his way to gm someday.
At least sabres fans realize tim murray was a disaster
"Right now, it's a short-term deal," Whaley told Sports Business Daily. "It's something to keep me busy....
So you hire a new guy and he tells the press it is just a short term thing to keep him busy til he finds something better. Same old Dougy!

There is a crown on the field, it is just much less of one.
The first two rows of seats at the Cap are now covered. Siting in row 4 will be fine. (I was in row 6 opening day)
The problem will be people who refuse to sit down in the seats in front of you. There were two pricks in row one. On opening day. They didn't get kicked out til after half time.
(And they were too close to the field and the police officers on it for the guys who very much wanted to beat the hell out of them to get away with it unseen )

Thank you Bocephuz.
I enjoyed this. Oh one thing:
His play at the end of Q1 (shown below) where he escapes pressure and Houdinis a throw to Matthews for a first down was simply incredible. Not many QBs have the athleticism to pull that off.I think he is the only one currently playing who can do things like that.
Is there someone else you know of who can do those dodges he does? I love watching him do that. I watch and I think to myself :"He is not dodging my neighbor Bubba down there. These are the best athletes in the country and he makes them look like the fat kid on the playground."
Also I don't know how he sees people coming up behind him sometimes.
You know the plays in games where you see a QB standing there and there is this guy barreling toward him from behind and the qb has no idea he is coming and you just brace yourself for the impact wondering if the guy will try to kill the qb or will settle for just a decent sack?
Tyrod knows those guys that he can't see, are coming and I can't figure out how.
I will say for the first time, out loud, that I was looking to see if somebody somehow signals him from somewhere along the sidelines. I didn't see anyone and I didn't even see anyone or anything that could possibly be it.
I am not sure why I added that in except to say, I don't know anybody playing who can do the things he can do about being elusive. Do you?

So a team has a very good player, that they are nevertheless trying to get rid of , because of what an ass he is for them to be around, and here come the fins trying to get him.

These comments would be better in "Two Bills Drive Redesign" Forum.
Naw. I think the comments belong here. I think they are fine and fit the topic.

In the weird category,
Poyer gave his intercepted ball to the equipment guy to save for him. I was watching and I think the equipment guy may have switched to another ball to save for Poyer. No idea in the world why someone would do that, but it appeared as though he might have.

I think I saw Taiwan Jones do a remarkable thing. He was on kick coverage and he ran down and got into what appeared to be a bar room brawl with a Jet blocker, and then he still made the tackle.
I haven't seen a replay yet, and nobody else has mentioned it, so I am not sure if my eyes were fooling me.

They were a little "Off"
They did do some good running.
Fans subdued because we are beating the team that will have the #1 pick next year, pushing them further up ahead of us in the draft. Its bittersweet and conflicting.
-
Exactly...I would have never picked Khalil Mack in the first round and then Carr in the second round. Taking a WR who specializes in screens and giving up our next year's first round pick was definitely the way to go.
That would have been a disaster! What would we have done without Cyrus Kouandjio?
Good thing Doug Whaley was on the job. Seeing EJ's greatness, he was not taken in by Carr's false promise. He stood tall and Kouanjio he cried! And boy am I ever glad he did.

(quote liverpool kev here) there was this guy when I worked at the square in 78. His name was Spagnulo. A real wise ass punk and i didnt like how he told me what to do. This one day my truck was being loaded and it was a "heavy day" which in postal code means a lot of stuff was added to my route. Spagnulo said he'd see me in two weeks and the other guys laughed because even though i was 150 or so sveryone thought i wasn't up for the task. I moved quick like a leopard in the congo and made every stop you could think of. You know why. Because that punk said i couldnt. Thats what the Bills team is all about this year. Grit and hard work. They will be awarded for their hard work.
They should get you to do the pregame speech!

....Whaley is gone and still getting harpooned (ditto for Nix)......(Bubba) Beane and McD don't know what the hell they're doing....Pegula is a clueless owner.....and the hits just keep on comin'......and the season ain't even here yet.....seat belt and popcorn.......turbulence ahead.....
(For historic purposes)
On this day, September 4th, 2017, BadLandsMeanie agreed totally with a post from OldTimeAFLGuy.
-
Sorry buddy if you think getting rid of the young players replacing with older ones who are not as good is a good idea. I have Dick Jauron and Marv levy to send you as head coach and GM again,,,,,,If Whaley would have done any of this nonsensical crap we would be screaming at the top of our lungs . I guess we can be more patient when the incompetent look more like us...
Time spent "Waiting for Whaley" ..... 64 games
Time spent waiting for Bean to have results..... 0 games.
The person being unreasonable here, is You. Not everybody else. Not everyone who disagrees with you, but You.
Why in your world does Whaley get 4 years and he STILL deserves more time in your view, but Beane gets none. He gets nothing, but YOU KNOW he is NO GOOD. Because you just do. Right? Is that the size of things?
-
I'm going to have to disagree on the above.
How was he stuck on his guy, EJ? After EJ he brought in Kyle Orton. The following year Tyrod Taylor. The next year he drafted Cardale, and last year Peterman.
He put in a lot of effort and was not "stuck on EJ" IMHO.
Never confuse effort with results.
This is such a distortion of reality that I am not sure if you are actually serious?
-
Yup, yup and yup.
Is it me or has there been an influx of...how do I put this nicely...not-so-intelligent fans on this board ever since the Bills shut down their official forum?
How anyone is defending what's happened at OBD over the last few months is beyond me.
Yeah Ima stupid one too I reckon.
You just wait some team gonna snap up that Douglas Whaley quicker than a bee to honey.
Now I myself am thinkin' he were the stupidest GM at drafting and at getting along with people in the whole league. And there was that thing folks noticed about how he couldn't talk. You know, couldn't string his words together like a normal person. All of the mistake making and draft busting and the babbling and that there GIANT contract for Marcel who ain't the most serious young man, why that stuff will just plumb fool a simple bumpkin like me into thinking he just ain't very good.
But now we gonna get to see how good he is when the other teams swoop down to have Douglas Whaley run things, and then you can rightly tell me you told me so.

just got back from Walgreens and the guy ahead of me was saying how the bills wont win 2 games and I said to him I said if you ever had to work in cold weather 6 days each week and deal with kids belly acking and making fun of a respected postal serviceman youd take that back. Kids now days dont understand the hard work that goes in to a career and how things take time to grow. My wife Shirl grows beginias each year when we get back from arizona and she waters them, puts some manuee around them and keeps them watered. She waters them and talks to them. One time the neighbor asked how she got her begonias so pretty and she told him hard work. But she waters them and keeps a mayonaze jar of fish food near by because begonias like fish food and water. So young kids need to know that hard work makes for good success and you also need water. Thats what our coach is doing.
Mike is a nice guy above and the other guy asked what powder I bought and it was flee powder for Howard our dog.
I didn't know flowers liked fish food. They feed and water the Bills too. Who puts the manure on the Bills though?
-
If I'm his teammates I gang up on him in the locker room, hold him down, and try to beat some sense into him.

I think Marcell is what you would call an "Oaf"
I am sure he isn't the only Oaf in the NFL. Far from it. The trouble is the Buffalo Bills have made him the most highly paid Oaf in the NFL.
-
So I guess the message is that Colin should be free to speak his mind, but Shady should not.
-
To me it is just another excuse. If Tyrod can cut it he needs to be able to cut the mustard without depending on one particular player.
-
I don't often agree with you but I can't argue with this!
Reading these posts makes it sound like I was fortunate not to see those games. Or smelled them.
Man, I hope McD knows what he's doing.
The games left me feeling kind of sick overall. So yeah you picked the perfect ones to miss! Lets hope Baltimore is better.
-
So in conclusion, you've seen nothing, heard nothing, read nothing, but are convinced that (1) you're discouraged with McDermott not delivering, (2) Taylor is overpaid, and (3) Boldin looks old.
Man, I do love this place sometimes. I look forward to your reviews about movies you haven't seen!
I figured he could smell the Bills stink from wherever far away he is?

From what I recall TT looked about the same last year in pre-season in fact I recall the O-line also looked completely lost. Once the season started , while the offense wasn't great, they weren't as anywhere near as bad as they looked pre-season. I'm sure he's told no scrambling and the defense senses that too so much easier to stop him.
Good point. But don't forget they fired the OC after 3 games I think it was, last year.
Hughes doesn't get why Jim Kelly is on the field in 2017

To Jerry: Jimbo and the old Bills are around to give the team an identity connection with the glory years. It lets the team talk about tradition and heritage and gives them something to sell to the fans.
Without that that all they have is your time here, during which the team has blown.
My guess is that they figure "Come See The Bills, Blowing for 17 years!" won't do as well in the marketing efforts.
And testing showed that "Bellichick's Best Bitches" didn't capture that imagination either. So that would be why. Now ya know.
As for Jimbo doing what he did. He has always been that way. That's part of what makes him Jimbo. You are free to go !@#$ yourself if you don't like it.
Thanks Go Bills.
