Original Byrd Man

It's always best to do you what well. I actually heard McDermott didn't want control just wanted to be aware of what was going on. Way to be on it Jerry. He could always do everyone a favor and find a job he is more qualified for.

The NFL needs to get it's head out of it's a** and stop with the marijuana testing. Do you see any other sport busting player for pot? NO! Seantrel Henderson has a Rx for an illness and he still gets busted. This league acts like a bunch of Republican Retards and it needs to change. Data shows marijuana is a very effective pain killer while the league prefers to dole out opiates like Halloween candy. Have to keep the drug industry happy.

I like the Idea of Lynn. While he is not a big name at least he is already familiar with the personnel and I think he definitely improved the play calling, pick up the option on Tyrod(next year is the year of the QB not this year) and improve the D( safety, CB, LB), draft a stud WR. This offense was fun to watch this year, and if the defense stepped up to the plate we would have made the playoffs.

Not too many of the posters here can appreciate the voice of reason. They are too busy banging the drum for their own misguided theories.

Yes they were, but IIRC we were missing Sammy. Tyrod still out played Stafford easily.

Replays have nothing to do with it. The NFL needs to hire full time refs not hand gratis jobs to ceo's, dr's, and lawyers. Corporate America at it's finest or should I say at it's worst.

I find it interesting that a "franchise" QB gets smothered by a team that our "non franchise" QB had a great deal of success against, but I'm sure fans and the media will have a multitude of excuses and reasons to explain it all away.

Lets not forget the fact if TT is not retained he will become one of the top prospects available unless Cousins is not resigned. Doesn't make much sense to let him walk so you can get into a bidding war with the other teams in need of a QB. His contract is comparable to his talent level at this time.

I don't know the extent of Tyrods sports hernia. Obviously he has able to play with it. A lot is being said about "electing" to have the surgery with out consulting the Bills. There has been insinuations that it was done to collect the 27 Million. My question is would he have passed the team physical with out the surgery? If not, then by getting the surgery he is giving himself a better chance to pass the physical in March and saves the Bills the money. If he would have then it would appear to a monetary decision. Sorry I did a search for Tyrod sports hernia but nothing was found

Very true. He was very well respected back then. Now that he has returned he is one of the inmates that run the asylum. His opinion is no longer pertinent just like the rest of the inmates.

Dear sir you are far to intelligent to post on this board. Most of the posters here absorb all the crap being flung by our malevolent beat writers and then lament when another year has gone by with out a playoff appearance, because that is all they know how to do. Asking them to develop a well conceived thought is beyond their capacity. They can only repeat what they have read or heard.

Right! I want to see the Bills make the playoffs as much as anyone else, maybe more, but there has been 17 years of constantly reshuffling the deck. Each new coach brings in a new staff and implements a new system. Now many of the players the GM drafted to fit the scheme are now not a good fit talent wise for the new scheme. So we go back to the draft. Then in 2 years when writers throw the current coach under the bus we get to start the process all over again. Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting new results. By that definition the media here is insane.

All you Tyrod bashers don't get it. This team failed because the Defense failed. He is operating a run first offense by design. It's funny hearing that Jimbo says they need more out of the position. I remember plenty of times he was going 3 and out or throwing picks. Hmmm short memory I guess, or maybe too many concussions. I'm not saying he has proved to be the most accurate QB but this team scores plenty of points and if the D was better would have scored more. The media around the country seem to feel he is a solid option moving forward, unfortunately he doesn't fit the QB mold of the stooges of the media here so they slam him.

First it was tight fisted Ralph Wilson, now it is the incompetent Pegulas that are to blame for the Bills woes. Is it jealousy that creates this angst? I don't know. Maybe it's because they feel inferior at their jobs and are just looking to drag someone else down to their level. These people are self made billionaires but some how as sports owners we are to believe they are incompetent.? The media clearly has an agenda in many cases because they are the "ultimate authorities on how a team should be run". They routinely throw coach after coach under the bus, then whine about not making the playoffs. Are they to stupid to realize they are part of the problem? Any organization needs time to develop. Unfortunately the media here demands instant success.

It's interesting to see Terry sat down with a real journalist(JW) as opposed to the clowns that work for the local media. That can't sit well with them. Maybe that is why he is being criticized as an owner.

Why the college tree? There has been less success with college coaches in the NFL than position coach/coordinators. Chip Kelly just fired again. Also what do you not like about Lynn?

Yeah he is really tearing it up in Miami, where they are running his style of Defense. Did it ever occur to you why the Texans weren't interested in resigning him? He only cares about Mario!

True, but thats not to say a coordinator can't make the transition. That is the reason they look for candidates with a strong emphasis on organizational skills.

Me too!

Such a shame. RIP Keon

I don't even bother clicking on his articles. Hopefully others will do the same and maybe the BN will drop him

Very sound reasoning and I agree. Wish we had adopted the idea of routinely drafting a QB.

Love your flag by the way!

I don't know if it is just his knowledge of the D, he is a physically gifted athlete and gave them a great deal of flexibility on that side of the ball. And after he went down it was a revolving door at that position due to poor talent and/or injury. I agree Landry got off way to easily. You injure a player intentionally with an illegal hit and get fined $9,000, you have an excessive celebration in the end zone and get fined $25,000. Really????? I've always felt if you injure a player and he misses games you miss right along with him. When he is able to come back so can you. If his career is over I guess you had better find a new one as well. Adapt that policy and I guarantee you will see a dramatic decrease in the number and severity of injuries.

Seriously, if this defense did it's job the Bills would be in the playoffs this year and probably last year as well but you have to understand that the fans base their views what the clowns that cover the Bills have to say, and unfortunately they have tunnel vision and can't understand there is more than 1 way to score points. To them it's a QB driven league where you have to throw for 300 yards a game or you suck.
