Medical is an interesting one. It was reported during Marrone's time that both him and Whaley wanted modern medical practices within the organization, but the old regime wanted to keep things the way they were. Marrone and Whaley felt "stim and ice" was an old outdated practice. Equipment is another as it was apparent the Bills did not know how to play in the snow this year.

Forgot about those two. Thanks! Dez looks good in OTA's, but not in training camp and the regular season. Hopefully he can improve.

Brees as a replacement for TT would be Fuccillo!!! I wonder what the Bills will have to give up in return to make that happen. Also, the only WR on contract for 2017 is Watkins. Will the Bills resign Woods and/or Goodwin? Will they draft and/or acquire WR(s) via FA.

I wonder which member of the Jacksonville media is Marrone going to interrogate at an airport hangar?

I completely understand why the decision was made to bench TT in the finale, due to the injury stipulation in his contract. Now it's being reported that the Pegula's are having remorse for not letting Anthony Lynn have the choice on who he wanted as his starting QB in the season finale. In regards to the power structure at OBD, the way things have gone down there, it sends a negative vibe throughout the league about the organization. With that negative vibe, it will turn off a lot of good coaches and players from coming to Buffalo as it shows the Bills are a dysfunctional organization.

Oh god, bringing back the nightmare that hasn't gone away for 17 years! Seriously, great example of why the owners need to let their GM's and coaches do their jobs and not interfere. That decision by Ralph cost the Bills a trip to the Super Bowl.

The Pegula's have proven to be meddling with the Bills so far. In their first coaching hire, it was a four person committee, which made no sense as it should be the GM's job to hire his coach. Next was the mind boggling rank structure at One Bills Drive, with Rex reporting directly to the owners and not the GM. Next, the owners firing Rex and not having Whaley be involved. Finally, the decision to bench Taylor and start Manuel, which is something the coach should have had say in who he wanted to start for the game.

I did previously when I discussed Gilmore's stats from the first Jets game. You can't argue with someone who has a biased opinion stuck in their mind that a player is elite, even though you show evidence that disproves that idea. Gilmore is a good CB, but he is inconsistent as his play has shown throughout his career. There are games, especially early on in the season where it looks like he regressed significantly, then there are games where he looks borderline dominant.

The only one that's lame is you with your obsession with Gilmore. Anytime anyone says anything bad about Gilmore, you defend him to death. So what it is, are you an obsessed Gilmore fan, a family member of his, you have a man-crush on him? Keep defending Superman, that way he can go somewhere and get the elite payday he is looking for.

You don't get the joke, so I'll fill you in. The way you're carrying on about Gilmore is the answer to the question [superman], which he is far from it. https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro-top-25-nfl-cornerbacks-this-season/ Look who didn't make the list? Superman...excuse me, Gilmore!

Who's Faster than a speeding bullet? Who's more powerful than a locomotive? Who's able to leap tall buildings in a single bound? I eagerly await your response.

+1 Many of times, he would just try the Donte Whitner style tackle (just drive his shoulder him the player, in hopes that would knock him down), instead of using his arms to wrap up the player.

If you say so... Exactly! I remembered he had a horrific game that day. So, Gilmore is trying to pat himself on the back just for the last two games, but he's been inconsistent overall. That game vs Ryan Fitzpatrick (who's a very inconsistent player himself) torched Gilmore all game long. Gilmore wants to be paid like an elite CB, but he's average at best.

What are his stats vs The Jets in their matchup in 2016?

I stated if the Bills fail to address the QB situation and the playoff drought continues, then at that point, I can see the Pegula's bringing in an outsider such as Bill Polian or Tom Coughlin, two men that Terry Pegula has talked to numerous times in the past. At that time, the defense will be older, a lot of the veterans will either be gone due to FA or retire, so the new person in charge of football operations will undoubtedly make tons of changes, just like when Darcy Regier was fired from the Sabres and Tim Murray was brought in as the Sabres GM. If you don't believe that any of that will happen, then that's on you, but don't be surprised if it does happen.

Wrong. The last two years with Drew Bledsoe, the Bills had the #2 ranked defense and finished 6-10 and 9-7. In 2014, the Bills had the #4 ranked defense and finished 9-7 with Manuel and Orton. As the old saying goes "Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it." The Bills have not had a consistently good QB throughout this draft. When are the people at One Bills Drive going to learn that it takes a consistently good QB to win in the NFL? So I take it you refuse to eat a bowl of crow if the Bills make it to 20 years with no playoffs? I don't have to be Nostradamus to know if the Bills keep going with sub-par/mediocre QB's that they will continue to miss the playoffs, especially with Tom Brady in the division.

If the Bills don't get a good QB and make it to the playoffs within the 20 years, I'll gladly come on here and eat a big bowl of crow. If the Bills do not make it to the playoffs and the streak extends to 20 years, will you do the same?

In order for the team to succeed under Whaley, as this is his final shot, the Bills are going to need to acquire a good QB somehow. The first option would be to trade for a aging veteran, such as Brees or Rivers. This option most likely would cost the Bills at least two 1st round draft picks, as well as other picks (maybe players on the roster as well). Second option would be to wait and see if Romo becomes a FA and go after him. Third option would be to trade for a team's backup that Whaley feels could turn into a good starter (something John Butler failed at with Rob Johnson). This option would cost a high draft pick and maybe more. The fourth option is through the draft. Failure to get a good QB will result in Whaley getting fired over the next year or two and possibly his hand picked HC. At that time, I suspect the Pegula's will reach out to either Bill Polian or Tom Coughlin, hire one of those two to oversee football operations and they will tear down the roster and start the rebuild. So, realistically, the playoff drought will extend to 20 years or more before the Bills finally make the playoffs again. Maybe by that time Brady will be retired.

I either want the Bills to be a playoff team or at the bottom of the league to get high draft picks. During the playoff drought, the Bills have averaged drafting between 8-13 and what good has it done for them? Other examples are the Bucs and Titans. They sucked, got too draft picks and now have franchise QB's [Mariota and Winston]. And don't give me the crap that franchise QB's can be found in any round, because if that were the case, there would be 32 franchise QB's in the NFL.

Worked great for the Bills back in the late 80's and throughout the 90's after they went: 2-14, 2-14 and 4-12 from 1984-86.

Bills need to tank it like the Sabres. They've been doing the same things over and over and what has it gotten them, no playoffs for 17 years. Suck for a few years, load up on high draft picks, so you can be great for 10-15 years.

Where did you hear that from? Would love it, if it actually happened.
