KOKBILLS

Good grief that was obvious was it not?

Well...I'm not disagreeing of course...But I think a lot of turnover in the back 7 was coming regardless...I expected the possibility of 2 new starters at S, and we all know Gilmore is likely gone...Ragland will move in somewhere, likely to the Mike in a 4-3...P Brown will move to the Sam...And like I've been saying here for a bit they are going to need a more athletic Will...I don't think either of the Brown's are ideal Wills (not to say you can't get by with them there, but I don't see either being sideline to sideline hunters) and Zack is a UFA anyway... So yes...There will be pretty decent turnover from this bunch...But I think it was coming regardless...Especially in the secondary...

He does not have anything to prove to me...Not sure how his message would translate in the NFL...But what he's done at Clemson is way beyond impressive...I've lived a few hours from Clemson for 25 years now...What he's done since he stepped in can't be ignored...That guy can flat out coach...And recruit...

^^^ This...

Tyrod is not a 2nd year pro on a rookie contract...So I really don't see how progression even matters at this point...Unless it was HUGE positive progression...All that matters is production vs cap impact now...The Bills don't have the luxury of hoping for further progression...Taylor has to be paid now...

This is the understatement of the year!!!

Please... If he had done the same thing in more games the past two seasons there would never be any doubt about his future in Buffalo... If you're the Bills you want to assume the Miami game is the turning point of his career?...Or...Do you want to go off the many chance he had to do the same prior to that only to come up short? I'm not saying TT is not worth keeping or anything of the sort...But lets not make him out to be some sort of martyr here either...He played a great game vs Miami...Had he been able to cash in vs Oakland, Baltimore, and Seattle this year the Bills would have already clinched a spot...He is what he is...And it's not cut and dry...

It depends on how close to OBD they live and if they are well armed...

According to Joe B...Yes they did... @JoeBuscaglia For reference, the other two in-season firings... Rams & Jags, both had front office people talk day of. Demoff for LA, Caldwell for JAX.

It would seem to be obvious right? After an organization trades up to #1 to get the QB of their choice and all... Some of the stuff I read around here nowadays...I swear I can feel my IQ going down...

Exactly...

Not if there is going to be tough questions apparently...

Obviously... I think Dareus is pretty much the poster child for why this organization fails... A very good player who could be a generational-type talent if he got his head on straight, got into great shape, and stopped being a lazy minded kid... So we decide to give him 100 million knowing all that, and he returns the favor by getting suspended, coming in out of shape, and missing half of his remaining games due to muscle pulls...Then he disappears for HUGE stretches...Finally his excuse is the Defense was too confusing... I wanted Rex canned, and I'm not saying Dareus is wrong about the Defense...But why should I consider anything he has to say?...The buffet line is far more important to him that being the player he could be...So...Why should I care?

It's just the right look...That's all...Whaley literally could have got up there and made a statement scheduling his presser next week... I don't know...Not that it's a huge thing...Just came across as amateur hour to me...

Fair enough...Then make a statement to that point and walk away from the podium...That's all...

It's not about that to me...It's about how it looks...The 1st presser you have after you fire a coach and you don't get up there as a GM and answer questions? I get that it's the normal Wednesday thing...So? It's such a Bills thing to do...Like it's just business as usual...Wednesday presser...Nothing to see here...We're concentrating on the Jets... I don't know...Not saying it's a huge thing but to me it just comes across as amateur hour...Looks like Whaley is afraid of facing the tough questions whether that's true or not....Just looks that way to me...

Well...It's more glamorous for sure...Just being LA... You have a #1 overall QB, and REAL good RB who will light it up if they ever get a passing game going...They still have a lot of talent on that Defense...I like that Rams roster...They need a top WR...But otherwise it's all on how good Goff will be...A lot of the remaining pieces necessary are there...

Well sure...But Whaley could have helped him out by taking the tough questions then turning it over...I imagine there is no rule against that right? Honestly I'm asking...I don't know...

Agreed...Whaley should have been the 1st person to speak...Period...Seems pretty bush-league to me...Like throwing Lynn to the lions...How could they not know that would look bad?

That sucks... RIP Bruce...

I see what you did there...

That was in his rookie year and who knows how many DC's ago...And I seriously doubt they wanted him at 350...Who asks a Rookie to put on 30 plus lbs when he's already 320? I think they were just starting the now long-lived tradition of covering for Dareus and his laziness... Since then he's shown no desire to get back down where he needs to be...And I don't think it's going out on a limb to imagine they have asked him to do so... He gets away with it because, despite his lack of ideal conditioning, he's still pretty darn good when he wants to be...But that kid could have been the next coming of Warren Sapp...Only bigger and more powerful...He could be one of the greatest ever...it just seems to me that no one can get him serious about getting back into great shape...Of course giving him $100 million is not exactly going to motivate him to think it's necessary either...

Maybe Rex did take the fall... But he pushed himself over the edge... Rex's failures stand on their own...Not to say there are not other problems at OBD because there most definitely are...But today was about the 1st step...Getting rid of a guy who claims to be a defensive genius yet could not figure out a way to get his Defense in the top 15, let alone the top 10, in almost two full seasons...

Fair enough!

Well...Someone has got to be DC for the last game...So... I think Thuman is toast...
