Aye Aye Skipper.
Buffalo leading the league in bald coaching hires!
Hair we go again
-
This is pretty odd hiring these before the OC. Since they still don't have an OC in place, I still think they want to hire someone from one of the playoff teams and aren't saying anything to avoid getting in any trouble.
-
The last idiot with a strong arm that played QB for the BILLS led us to 4 straight superbowls who happens to be related to the other said idiot. Just saying
Last idiiot we had with a strong arm was Losman. Losman had a cannon of an arm, but dumber than a box of rocks.
-
Seems like very good hire. Defensive staff looking great.
I fear for the offensive staff.
This is my thoughts right now. Especially with a muddy QB situation, we need something good on the offensive side
-
since nothing has leaked yet, i am wondering if the oc is going to come from one of the playoff teams
-
Good candidate, but if they blocked him once, they may block him again.
might depend on the team/division. i wouldnt be surprised if they blocked him from going to a division rival, but wouldnt mind him going to another conference to a team they only see in preseason

Mcdermott filled out an application to be the new Billy Buffalo. The bills brought him in for an interview and when Mcdermott got there they informed him they just filled the position. As Mcdermott started to walk away in despair, out comes Terry Pegula, frantically exclaiming "He put me on the spot! I had to fire him! now what will I do next season?!" And terry looked over to Mcdermott and asked "you there, do you prefer the 4-3 or the 3-4?" and the rest is history.

Frazier is a highly respected coach. He would be a great get. They may both come. Money talks.
Although I would agree with this, his terrible defense was a huge reason lovie smith got fired in tampa
-
Of course, being the bills, we have to introduce the guy on Friday the 13th. Might as well have the guy walk under a ladder and open an umbrella indoors.
The curse is real people, be afraid!
-
At this point, I think we only can grab mccoy if he takes the money, because pegulas will gladly throw money at these coaches.
-
We disagree and I am not blind.
I posted the other day a comparison of how Rex's defense did against common opponents of the Eagles whose defensive coordinator (according to some here) invented defense. I also mentioned that PFF rates the Eagles' starting defenders as slightly superior to the Bills defenders.
I did this not to diss Schwartz but to provide context and blunt this narrative that others have had. It is hard to get a defense to perform up to its capabilities when key guys are injured or suspended etc.
Just my two cents.
Injuries aside, there was just so much going wrong with the defense that was clearly a coaching issue. If your defense fields only 10 guys multiple times, something is wrong with coaching. that mistake shouldn't happen at all, and if it happens more than once, that is definitely coaching. Those mistakes shouldn't be happening with you are closing out the 2nd season in this system

I like Watkins a lot and it is a shame he cant stay healthy.
With that said, he isn't a bust, but I think at this point he would have to be seen as a reach. 2 first rounders given up for him, (QB issues aside) and evans and OBJ (and arguably others) picked after him have been more productive.
Not saying he is a bust, but I don't think he was worth what we gave up, which I guess is a reach.
If he can somehow stay healthy, he will help this team get on the right track. huge if at this point
-
While I agree that there is something not right and a very sketchy about whaley, I don't think he wants Lynn as the next HC like a lot of us were thinking. listening to this press conference, I don't think Lynn wants to be here and I am just not seeing a lot of support from the front office publicly for him. I think our HC comes from the outside.
-
I honestly think EJ's worse game was the bucs game. it was even worse than the jags. At least with the jags game we had a chance to win later on
-
I posted this in the Ragland thread, but I suppose it belongs here...
The rookie injuries are bad luck, but Whaley has been really short-sighted with a lot of moves and these types of injuries shouldn't be so crippling. We never seem to have a back-up plan and have been put in bad situations by a lack of depth. Jeff Tuel started a game at QB. When Kyle Williams and Aaron Williams went down with injury, it was the theme of the season. No one stepped up and dominated in those roles because we had no depth to fill those spots. Our current WR depth is questionable, and I don't know who Whaley could possibly blame for that.
I'm still on the fence with Whaley, but I feel like he needs to be better prepared. Even though he is a great player, the decision to move up to get Watkins looks more like a Detroit Lions move every year. I don't know how a team with no depth can afford to be throwing 1st round picks out the window, and that is a prime example of the nearsightedness I'm referring to.
Well, to be fair I wouldn't expect a backup safety, QB, or WR to ever "dominate." If they dominated a game, they would be starters, not backups.
And the Jeff Tuel thing was before he was GM.
But yeah, lack of depth on this team is pretty bad. Right now it is at its worst at the safety and Oline in my opinion. you could probably argue QB too, but I don't think it is that bad.
-
That's what they say about Ragland (who looked horrible In pass coverage in the championship game)
Ragland can't cover, but he can rush the passer. So he does have a purpose on third down which is pressuring QBs. People saying he can only be used on 2 downs don't know his full skillset
-
Stevie was the only receiver that had chemistry with Fitztragic. He literally bombed out once he left Buffalo. I think his shelf-life was exactly 4 decent years. Whaley traded him right when there was a little value. I truly don't think he'd still even be on the team this year.
I think it was more of a gailey thing than a fitz thing
-
Im surprised to see a buffalo news guy not putting Cassel's name on there. But we know deep down they are hoping cassel gets traded back to buffalo
-
it must be the boring part of the off season
but i never knew the pats didnt use numbered jerseys during otas and minicamp. I dont see this being a game changer, but i can see this being needed to monitor certain players
-
Getting one of them would be great, especially with woods possibly not returning next year. WR to me isnt such a pressing need this season. We hardly throw the ball, and we already have sammy, woods, clay, and mccoy eating up most of those receptions. there really isn't much room for the ball to be thrown around. But because of injuries, and possibly woods departing, we need some new young WR blood to groom for depth. Easley isn't really a WR as much as a ST guy. plus his injury was.... ya know.
And if I had to pick, I would take cooper.
-
They must believe he can cover or cover enough.
His pass rushing abilitly will help keep him on 3rd down. His cover skills appear to be fairly weak, though he has good instincts which can help. But I think on third down they are going to use him to rush the passer
-
He's the worst...LaCanfora that is...
And if Whaley keeps trading Draft picks to move up I'm not going to be a happy camper...
I doubt he will do it for cook. Our 4th rounder can't be traded. so our pick at the bottom of the third plus whatever to get a 4th rounder doesn't seem likely. Even if you trade a 4th next year (which we don't have), plus our 5th this year wouldn't be enough.
I think they stay pat in the 4th round. possibly trade up in the 5th if there is someone they really like.
Ragland was worth trading up for imo, even if the picks weren't totally worth what others were doing. he was a first round talent and instantly fixes are run defense
-
If LaCanfora said it, it probably wrong. His source keeps giving out wrong info, like Vic's source
-
Thank God they didn't get too cute with the pick.
Low risk; solid; like it.
I really had a fear they would outsmart themselves

I still think our OC in on the playoff teams. Only reason why no one has been hired yet
