Niagara Bill

yes players are responsible but the coach and GM have the power to make things happen...Rex is called a players coach...they love him...that is BS, they love that he is too soft and when he falls for a player the player is safe.... the coach is also a motivator and teacher...and that goes for motivating off the field as well, teaching these spoiled employees how to be a professional. Marv's success was based almost totally to the respect he earned and gave to his players...the lessons he taught them on and off the field, they were not angels as we all know but team and family soon came first beside selfish and boorish activities like we see now....say good bye to Marcel again....we will see what kind of a coach Rex is now....

Agenda...you must be kidding. Emotional of course, this is the Bills....passionate...yes I am not one of the bloggers/professional writers hiding on this sight Just a fan. I only call it as I see it with Rex...if the student hasn't learned the teacher has not taught.... going from a top 3 D to near bottom is Rex's responsibility. he is responsible.....for the system and the players....if Mario Williams didn't or couldn't learn the system Rex is responsible for either teaching it better or putting his a?? in the stands. not waiting for a year Amen

The big excuse last year is the D was not on the same page as they could not learn the system...so they tried to simplify half way through the season.Duke Williams is playing better this year because Rex says he has had a year to absorb the system. The brought in Ed Reed to help because he played in the system They brought in Rob Ryan because he knows the system If I have to find one of the 200 times the system has been reported I will exactly...Rex is so full of himself and his fathers vaunted 46 D he makes the team suffer....I hope 2 years in that the players can handle the system.

Rex has such a complicated defence how ridiculous is it to hear it takes 2 years ( or more) to learn the language....and the fans eat that excuse up. There is no way an owner or GM should accept such a line of Bull..... What other endeavor on earth can you imagine you hire people to do a job and pay them $75,000,000 and let the manager prepare instructions so complicated they cannot do their job. Rex is full of Bulls... Everyone else is stupid and he is so smart they have to get their PHD before they can even listen to his theory.

I support these comments. When you trade up you lose the percentage of numbers....12 picks gives you are far bigger chance to find 5 players to help your team than picking 6 times.

just saying

oh boy more "pressers"................ the new millennial word again

you are no more qualified to make this statement than Getty was to make his...

the point is that with more picks you will miss for sure but the odds are you will hit on more since no one can predict who will make it as a contributor Don't expect me to defend Schoop....but we just shortened our draft...went after the best...lost both of them..maybe for ever if the injury reduces their ability, and if we had traded down and picked 12 there would be a statistical better chance that we would have impact players on our rooster this year. It is very possible that this years team rooster will be worse than last year

I am not a fan of Schoop but today I think for the first time he has a valid point. Draftin g players is about numbers in general and is about getting the most number of contributing players on your rooster from each draft.\ \No one knows for sure that any player is going to make it so you must try by shear numbers to get the most opportunities to draft the most players to have an impact If you draft 5 players because you traded up...ie Ragland and the Bills...then your chances based on numbers and injuries is less likely to get a number of impact and rooster players than the team that traded down for more picks and ended up with 12 picks. New England is the example, If your draft is shortened ie the Bills and injuries occur..ie the Bills to number 1 and 2...then your opportunity to have impact players drops... and the ability to compete for a playoff spot drops. The team that drafts 12 players and 7 make the rooster each year then your strength grows over time and the chances of success grow...see Patriots. I hate the patsies but they do it each year...and we are 0 and 16

Are we to assume that "pressers" = press conference

yes it is....unprofessional approach to what should be a great profession with integrity...the use of the word presser shows short cuts are taken and thus leads the reader to consider the information being read may also be questionable

Rex lovers could do the same with the cut and paste option. We all know Rex is a media player...last year the bragging circus atmosphere...tough team, over powering etc...this year his embarrassment over the failure has lead to " more business like camp". His voice rings hollow with the fans and his players...he has a lot to prove. Early failure will lead to small crowds for the later games of the year... you do not have to be a hater to see that, just a realist, as most people on this board are.

So why is it professional writers have to create words like "presser"....laziness, don't know the English language...trying to be creative...Kanye followers ????

Sullivan can be an idiot, but he is right about Woods, we have been waiting for him to make a difference, and it is not going to happen on this team JS often takes the neg side and it is rare he sees the positive side. On the other hand he does not hide on this board using a fake name like certain other writers/bloggers do

I am a little pizzed about this. You are only blessing us for this weekend.....what about next week and the week after.

if it says so in the USA Today it must be true and accurate

let me understand this.....L.A. is famous because of Magic J and he has aids.....so by extension if he did not have aids nobody would know anything about L.A. and it would be no more famous than Souix Falls or Spokane?????

Does any remember the city that developed the cure for malaria with the tzi tzi fly, or the cure for polio? get some sleep. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE

I double that choice.....just need to watch Comeback game and you know he is a special teammate.

that's like having Charley Sheen tutor my son

Dallas is a rich area...so is Washington with more government money than they know what to do with. Ticket prices are higher. Buffalo cannot support the highest ticket prices in the league. You could put the new Dallas stadium in Buffalo or Orchard Park and it would not succeed as it does in Dallas....it also would not make it in GB. The Bills have made 95% of the revenue by kickoff each year...I don't think that is correct as much of the revenue comes from away games...but even if I accept that premise you miss the fact that jersey sales, national sponsorships, advertising sales, and road crowds depend on winning. GB is a better draw and receives more national sponsorship in stadium money than Buffalo. Why...because they are on TV during the year often and in the playoffs with millions of more viewers than the Bills. That way the Bills replace Bert's Bikes ads with national ads and thus more revenue. The teams gets General Motors sponsorship rather than the local Chevy dealer. Sponsors on the Jumbo Tron would have 50,000,000 viewers not 500,000. That is $$$$$$$

I am not upset. Just commentary on this ridiculous Goodell statement again. By the way there is absolutely a direct correlation between winning and income. Do you not think that the Bills income would jump by 16 to 20 % if they were in the playoffs each year. That would match GB. GB has nothing on Buffalo except the ability to win. As a business man I DO NOT LOSE SIGHT of the business aspect. K Mart didn't lose out to Walmart because of the quality of the building they were in or the location of those buildings. The NFL is not about location it is about winning and product and then marketing. ( consider that LA has failed a number of times and GB has succeeded). The Bills do a great job of marketing poor product. A better product would make them as good as GB and Goodell would shut his mouth.

Are you kidding? This is a dam charity event. Goodell needs to shut up with this stuff once in a while and the press need to give this a rest. By the way GB value as a team does not reflect the income only. If they were losers like the Bills they would be at the bottom of the league. The difference between Buffalo and Green Bay is winning. GB stadium is not better than Rich/The Ralph. If the Bills go to the SB or make the playoffs 3 years in a row the talk all stops. Jersey sales go up nationally, the owners are happy....

nobody can coach Byrd. He has no desire to play this game with a hangnail. From day one I always thought he was too cautious (I won`t say cowardly) and soft. He was a baseball center firlder playing football. Bryd is the new Lavar Arrington.....mouth is 10 times bigger than the actions. Take the money and run type.
