I'm not calling for anyones head. To me its just frustrating to know we let another winnable game fall through the cracks, again, in November.
How long will this team continue to not show up when it counts? I'm just sick of losing
I would be on board with Orton for more than this year and next if he wins a playoff game and starts well next year. After watching Fitz play well, get a huge extension then get figured out, I'm worried we can't jump the gun too soon.
I told my gf just don't plan anything on a sunday unless the Bills are on a bye, although that too is frowned upon.
She understands and thats why she's a keeper
Yes and no. This organization has to collectively get over the hump of being a loser organization.
Finishing with a winning record would be tremendous for this franchise.
How would it not be irresponsible? This roster was a good QB away from being a contender. To go into the season with Kolb and Jackson hoping a great player might be available next year is a great way to get fired.
Clearly we are not going to agree because you think they screwed the pooch. My argument was they made the best possible decision in a bad year to need to make that decision. I give Whaley and Nix a ton of credit for that.
But ya that Bridgewater kid, who has 3 TDs to 5 INTs and a fumble and an impressive 44.1 QBR has really been lighting up the league
Yup. You've offered no solution of what they should have done instead. Draft Nassib or Barkley and hope for the best? Developmental players get drafted all the time in the first round. EJ is no exception. You are adding all sorts of revisionist history about Geno too. He was talked about as going first overall, but you wouldn't have drafted him until the third round?
The Bills took a chance on the biggest strongest QB in the draft and hoped the collective team around him would make him better. It would have been irresponsible of the coaching staff and the FO to wait another year to get a guy that could be the QB. You talk about how the Bills created a desperate situation? The situation you would have done makes the situation even more dire.
So you would wait huh? What is the cost of not having a QB at all? Look at the Jets for that example. By your logic our QB last year was Kolb or Tarvaris Jackson. Neither of those guys excite me
You are also banking on an awful lot. What if Bridgewater suffered a career ending injury? Just wait until 2016?
Bills had to make a move. Even with the benefit of hindsight
