    Realistically, how does this all play out?

    And then a lot of crow eating on this board.

     

    We are making the playoffs.

    I would love to eat crow. I just hope it tastes like chicken.

     

    I was actually trying hard to not be entirely negative in my OP, and I do think they can turn it around and make the playoffs. My point, though, is that if they don't change the trajectory of the season, things could get ugly fast - even by the standards of the last 15 years. I have been and always will be a fan, but looking at yet another rebuild is terrifying.

    I think we will go 7-9, miss the playoffs, and Whaley won't be back.

     

    Rex will be given 1 more year by Pegula, though he shouldn't be given it.

     

    When that doesn't work either, Rex will be gone and Pegula will conduct the full bore house cleaning he should have conducted when he bought the team.

     

    That is kind of how it played out with the Sabres and I think the same is shaping up with the Bills.

    This is pretty close to what I was thinking, which prompted the post. If this is what happens, it means we've wasted a playoff-caliber roster now and will almost certainly be looking at two full decades without a playoff appearance.

    At this point, it's not unreasonable to think that this season will fall short of expectations. Frankly, any step back from last year's 9-7 finish is a disappointment. Assuming that happens, what do people realistically think happens next? Assuming that we can't just magically trade for a Pro Bowl QB and lure away a top-notch HC, is anyone else worried that we're looking at another two to three year reset?

     

    I know the feeling on this board is that Whaley likely goes, and that's probably right. It's also hard to imagine Terry firing Rex one year into a 5 year deal worth close to $28 million. If that all plays out, is the next GM a Rex-guy? And if Rex truly isn't the answer, that's basically setting the stage for a full-blown housecleaning in a couple of years. On the other hand, if they hire a GM who has no ties to Rex, don't we risk having the same scheme-to-personnel mismatch that we're dealing with now (and also a GM biding his time for a year or so to fire Rex and bring in "his guy")?

     

    I really didn't want to create yet another thread full of negative speculation, but I'm honestly having trouble seeing how this doesn't end with another "re-build."

     

    EJ Maneul stinks out loud.

    I was really rooting for a new EJ to show up today, but now have officially moved on from having any hope that he's the one. Today wasn't all on EJ, but that doesn't mean much in light of the way both the D and STs performed.

     

    That said, and we'll never know for sure, Cassell wouldn't have been any better. Both of them are below average QBs.
