Yes, Lynn should be the next head coach--but probably only for the Jets game.
-
I had assumed Cook was Carr's backup...Is he not?I'm going to make a bold prediction.... Connor Cook will see the field during the post-season in meaningful snaps.

How many games did Cardale lose? When did Urban Meyer ever develop an NFL qb? Were you aware that Tom Brady was unable to beat out the immortal Drew Henson at Michigan?Did anyone see him starting for Ohio State last year?
-
Grounds for immediate dismissal. If I was Pegula I would have fired him in the locker room. Gutless, play not to lose football. And dumb.
-
Anyone else have a problem with the punt on 4th and 3 in OT?

Drain the swamp. Now.

I don't think Bucky Brooks has actually seen Adolphus Washington play...
He definitely has not seen Reggie Ragland play, at least not in the NFL.
-
Yes, Ragland has certainly proven to be an excellent selection,well worth giving away two fourth round picks for. Do you think he'll get any votes for DROY?For all the fire Whaley people, the Bills have 2 of Bucky's 1st rders on their roster. Whaley knows talent.
-
You're right; it's possible that Sammy will turn into a superstar and outshine ODB (just in time to become a FA), but three years in, it looks like Sammy is and will be just a talented, frequently injured, underutilized player who won't live up to his draft billing. Certainly not a bust, but a disappointment just the same. This was Whaley's signature move as GM and he deserves to be judged harshly for it.Don't disagree but with better health (a giant concern) with a better qb, he's a top 5 wr. No one questions Julio Jones' trade.

Not true. Plenty of folks here wanted the Bills to not panic, stay put, and take Beckham, Aaron Donald or Kelvin Benjamin. At any rate, the "20-20 hindsight" argument is ridiculous. Of course GMs have to be evaluated in hindsight. It's a results-oriented business, and the only thing that matters is the results obtained, not whether Mel Kiper, 4 out of five experts, or TSW agreed with the move at the time it was made. The Sammy trade was the biggest deal of Whaley's career and after three years, it looks like it was a huge mistake. Pretty hard to dispute that.The whole deepest receiver class in history is such 20-20 hindsight. Because of Mettneberger (a popular guy here), Landry and ODB weren't close to what they have become in college. There is zero way an honest person would admit they thought ODB would do this. Sammy was far and away the best prospect in that draft. And the guy that was closest to him, Mike Evans (who I wanted), would have been gone at the Bills original draft position.

Don't worry. After another year of using our first four draft picks on defense, it might be back to where it was before Rex gutted it.They also prevent us from having truly "bad" days on offense like a lot of teams do when their QB isn't throwing the ball well...we have only had 3 games this year when we haven't scored 20 points or more, which I have to believe is one of the best in the NFL...its just too bad the D hasn't played up to par very often this year...
-
Two words--garbage time.In their losses- against the good teams, with the exception of the Baltimore game- they have scored 31, 25, 25, 25, 24 and 20 points.
-
. I won't have a problem if the Bulls went after him
I like this idea. Let's have some UB players lined up on the sideline (preferably in pads) and take out Landry at the first opportunity. That way none of the Bills would be suspended or fined.
-
God, I hope so, but somehow I doubt the Bills will do anything about it.I'm very curious to see how this plays out. I could see this being a "payback is a b*tch" situation, truth be told. Aaron Williams is a popular player in the locker room. It could get ugly on Sunday. If I'm right, expect to see a higher-than-usual number of PFs called against the Bills D.
-
Show me where anyone in the Bills organization said it was a 3-year rebuild when Rex was hired. And tell that to the Titans. And what is this "good draft class" you are referring to? Certainly not 2016, right?Look at the preseason predictions and the Bills are right where they should be. The rebuild was a three year project. Good draft class this year,
-
Makes no difference how much time is left. Still the right call. Based on the percentages. And they won.Not with that much time left. Under a minute or so, I'm all for it because it really is win vs OT
-
It was anything but bizarre. It was the correct decision based on the percentages.Bizarro decision going for 2 by Mularkey. Still 3 minutes left ...
-
Mularkey showing more balls than he ever did in Buffalo. Down by seven with 4 minutes left, goes for the first on 4th and 5 from the Chiefs' 20, then goes for two after the TD. Didn't convert, but it was the right call.
-
Can we stop hyping Carson Wentz now?

I truly believe the Browns will make the playoffs before the Bills will. They have 17 rookies on the roster this year (the Bills have 5), and 10 picks in this year's draft (including 2 firsts and 2 seconds). They have a plan. The Bills are still absolutely clueless, and have a GM who pisses away draft picks like a drunk passing out one-dollar bills at a gentlemen's club.@marykaycabot

Whaley missed on EJ
mortgaged the future by using 2 first round picks on Sammy. Could have had Mack at #5 or sat at #9 and taken Odell Beckham or DT Aaron Donald and kept the second first rounder.
overpaid on long term deals for underperforming Dareus, Clay, A. Williams, Hughes. re-did shady's deal.
NOT in good cap shape for 2017
Whaley hasn't done anything special at all.
Traded a fourth for Bryce Brown. Gave away two fourths to move up to pick Ragland, who would probably have been available at the Bills' slot anyway.

There is a big difference between a team who battles it out for the playoffs until the last week of the season, losing its last game to drop to 9-7, and a team that goes 6-7 in the competitive portion of the season, then after being eliminated, beats a few tomato cans in half-empty stadiums to finish 9-7. It's like Tyrod throwing for 48 yards in the first half and piling on 150 in the second half, when the other team is playing soft to protect a big lead. Garbage time.This argument isnt strong in my opinion.
Last year the Redskins made the playoffs without beating a team with a winning record.
Before the season if someone told you the bills would go 9-7. You may not have been doing cartwheels in the street but you probably wouldve been "ok". Im guessing easily more than half of the bills fanbase expected about 9-7.
-
I have some sympathy for this view, but it overlooks the fact that Rex is a terrible coach. It is entirely possible that BOTH the coach and GM of the Buffalo Bills are inadequate. In fact that has been the case for most, if not all, of the past 17 years.How's about keeping everything except the GM. Hire someone who can work with Rex and is a real GM. Not someone pushing his own and agenda and players on a coach. Not someone who doesn't take drug and injury history into account when drafting players. We need a new GM, not a new coach or QB.

get a white whale coach
Ok, but what about the Rooney rule?
Punting on 4th and 3 with 4 mins to go in OT?

For bad football coaches like Rex, the asinine "timeout to ice the kicker" move is what qualifies as high-level coaching strategy (along with "deferring") but he couldn't even get that simple move right. And by the way, icing NFL kickers does not work.
