The Big Cat

Me reading this thread at work here on Monday morning:

Our safeties suck. They're a complete liability. And oh, by the way, they're expected to dictate Ryan's scheme.

THIS IS NOT REX !@#$ING RYAN'S JOB. Anyways, I still have a sharpened pitch fork leftover from Marrone's last days. Any takers? I'm not currently using it.

This has to be a troll thread. OP's a troll, right? We're not seriously still having this discussion, are we? Have I died? Is this hell?

Dude. Woods was WIDE open. EJ's effort on that play was just deplorable. A quick, decisive throw and the game is still alive.

What aspect of today's game was poorly coached??

It's a lot of deep thought for a game decided by three points wherein our QB gave the opposition 14 points...in CONSECUTIVE PLAYS.

9-7 could get you to the playoffs in the AFC. Predicted four wins. Haven't watched any of the seven games so far. Credibility, meet window.

Oh Jesus.

He hasn't done anything to make me feel the way I do about why the team has performed the way it has. If we had to make a list of reasons we lost, Rex aint on it. We lost because of the dropoffs (in order): From TT to EJ From Aaron Williams to Duke From Sammy to Woods From Karlos to Boom From Harvin to Hogan Why anyone wants to blame the coach is beyond me.

Starting: Quarterback Wide Receiver 1 Wide Receiver 2 Strong Safety DTackle (Captain) Backup: Running back Even with all these players hurt, the Bills did enough to win today, in spite of two consecutive plays by the backup QB that dug them into a hole they'd have to claw their way out of. I'm pissed that we gave up the go ahead touchdown and I'm pissed that we let them hold the ball for 9.5 minutes to start the third quarter, and that falls directly on Rex's D. But Jesus. Today had nothing to do with coaching. Let me also add that Duke Williams is a !@#$ing liability and Corey Graham aint much better. We are suffering big time from Aaron Williams being out. If Bills fans should be concerned about one thing, it's that he recovers enough to rejoin this team. Because they need him badly.

Okay, so everyone trying to convince Bills fans that we traded a Benz in favor of a Kia can go back to s'ing tfu now?

Except they're not a 'bottom' team. 'Bottom' teams finish with 2, 3 or 4 wins then get to choose from the best players in the draft. Instead, we're mired in mediocrity.

Give him an opportunity to retract.

this is worst case scenario

Yes. The questioning was the speculation. One guy did it. Then another guy followed it as if it was a 'lead.' Then the national guys needed to produce their content, so 200 words were produced there. Round and round we go.

Light shed. It was media-spurred speculation.

This is conjecture that fans are running with as fact. It's a made up narrative that Whaley/Rex haters have glommed to.

Haha "Whaley needs to be held accountable." Yes, right. Spider on the ceiling? Set the house ablaze!

Then, I think you're right. Whaley should be fired. And you should be hired to take his place. Whaley has done a stellar job. Anyone suggesting otherwise has an agenda where their clue should be.

If the Bills win, EJ will have dug a hole and filled it in. Translation: he needs stellar play...to get to zero.

No but seriously let's continue to debate this.

Because right now the networks buy the rights then the networks sell the ads to make their profit. The consumer would directly purchase the rights (perhaps for less than networks pay now, to start), but then the league itself could get the ad revenue which would narrow the gap from what the league gets now from networks without ads. Eventually the volume of purchasing consumers would create a similar level of revenue. Trust me, this is the model of the future. (Unless something better than the Internet comes along) (something we can bank on)

Correct.

Question: should our defense--in their second and sixth games--have been expected to shut down the league's best offenses? The answer I've provided self times now: In an ideal world, sure. But I'm not infuriated that things haven't worked out perfectly.
