djp14150 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 A few reasons..... 1. Senior management under Wilson. Made it where coaches didn't want yo cone here. pegs us changing that. 2. The team hasn't been awful...but more midfle of the pack where since the last layoffs they have been in that 7-6/6-7 for many of those seasons. You could go through and find 3-4 games they easily could have won with a pkay here or there. Of their 7 losses, 6 were by a score late in the 4th. 3. People forget Taylor is in ways just like a rookie with him getting his first real snaps this season. 4. The frustration thing is the new coaches !@#$ with what is working. When Gailey came on, he changed the defense that was damn good. Rex screwed with the defense too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjt328 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Unfortunately, there is not a single reason. There isn't a "single thing" we can fix to get ourselves pointed in the right direction. >> Most of our 50+ year history, we had ownership that set us behind the rest of the NFL. Ralph Wilson considered it a success to simply own an NFL team and keep it playing in the City of Buffalo. Winning was second to profit, and surrounding himself with people he personally trusted. He fired Bill Polian in the middle of our Super Bowl run. And despite our pathetic results, guys inside the organization have constantly found themselves getting promotions (see Russ Brandon). >> The lack of leadership in this organization has trickled down, causing poor selections for General Manager (Levy, Brandon), terrible coaching hires (everyone), a lack of unity within One Bills Drive, a lack of accountability - and most of all - no clear direction for where this team is headed. Our only two winning seasons over the last 15 years was followed both times by the head coach quitting. Every time we start making some progress, a decision is made that forces us to start over. >> Thanks to everything above, the Bills have been unable to land themselves a "franchise level" quarterback. This can be attributed to a number of factors. They haven't taken enough chances in the draft, passing up guys like Andy Dalton, Russell Wilson, Derek Carr, etc. When they have gone after someone, it's been a horrible choice (Manuel, Losman). The decent veteran QBs they have had were all pushed out the door too early (Flutie, Bledsoe, Fitz), in favor of completely undeveloped youngsters. >> Drafting overall has been dreadful. Levy was pathetic. Donahoe was terrible, and regularly wasted high picks. Even though things have improved with Nix/Whaley, there are still a lot of mistakes happening that keep us from getting those true game changers.

/dev/null Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Remember when everybody was ragging on the NFC East. Nobody over 500 in that division. If we were in that division, we'd take it easy Yeah, about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
