Kelly the Dog Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Belichick with the Patriots: 16 Seasons 187-69 22-9 in the playoffs 4 Superbowls Won Division 13 times Meanwhile, in Buffalo: 16 Seasons 105-151 0-0 in the playoffs Finished last place 9 times, second-last 5 times (finished in 2nd twice (yay!)) I would have taken the Belichick... even with all his "shortcomings" But what have you done for me lately!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 winning will dictate accountability. 9-7 or better, doug and rex stay 8-8 toss up 7-9 or worse, both are gone Imo that wouldnt cause changes. I think the wheels will need to come off both in record... and also player mutiny and/or infighting among fo and coaching. Even then, we will see either rex or whaley gone. The other one stays and "year one" starts again. A relatively drama free 7-9, 6-10...even 5 wins will be good enough to maintain continuity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsVet Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 The front office isn't accountable because it changes every few years, hence the new group gets another 2-3 years. Wash, rinse, repeat. Been like that particularly since 2006 when Marv and DJ came aboard. Then Brandon and DJ. Then Nix/Gailey. Then Whaley/Marrone/Rex. Personnel leadership has been changed out, new players, same result. One wonders who is hiring the GM's and why they're not held accountable.

May Day 10 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I would agree with this except the team is under NEW OWNERSHIP So....no Pegula made it clear that this is Year 1 or Year 1 just ended or whatever. (IMO we are definitely in Year 4, arguably 7, arguably 11) In your opinion, when would the front office be accountable (above Whaley)? If this season is bad (3-7 wins)... and next season is too... should they just try to replace the coach again? Replace Whaley and keep the coach? Fire and replace both of them? Do nothing? Or should they cut a little deeper in this case? Bring in someone from the outside to build a full program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
