CommonCents Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 He is well regarded by many. He did a very good job in SF, and they nosedived after he left. He wore out his welcome in both places and you could debate how well he actually did...plenty of stuff out their from 9ers fans that supports much of what we have seen. His redzone offense was bad on a talented 9ers team as well. Do you think he gets another OC job? Maybe he does your opinion on him seems to be higher than mine and that's fine. Just curious.

BuffaloBillsForever Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I really HOPE NOT that the Pegulas meddled here to force this decision. That would be a VERY BAD thing for the future of this sports franchise and would raise another big red flag about the Pegulas poor ownership record thus far with two sports organizations.

snafu Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Oh thank God -- Roman sucked. He didn't know how to use his players. For a run-first guy he couldn't come up with successful short-yardage plays. He was always late getting plays called. He didn't have a hurry-up offense installed. I'm usually calling for continuity, but there was no living with that guy any longer. He had to go before Rex because he couldn't possibly be Rex's successor.

Reed83HOF Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 This was Rex's hand picked OC; the DC stunk last year, so he hired his bro; Roman sucks he's gone... Â House is gonna get burned down this offseason.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave mcbride Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Yea but Harbaugh left too. Hard to say who the success in SF was tied too. If you're a Bills fan you wanna believe it was Roman. I trust Harbaugh's instincts about coaches. Harbaugh is a great coach -- regardless of whether I like his personality or not. I decidedly do not trust Rex's instincts about coaches, although to be fair he did lure Roman here in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prickly Pete Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) My Take On Roman Fired: "changing coordinators during the season will do nothing to help the development Tyrod Taylor or the offense as a whole. " Â Newsflash!!! The "development" of Tyrod is meaningless at this point. It's all over for him after this season. From this point on, the season is about cleaning up the mess.

sodbuster Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Scheter saying pegula called the meeting this morning. Â Also, Rex Ryan has the full support of ownership and it is "his team".

Never NEVER Give-up Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 WOWTo me, this is the white flag. An offense everyone is now supposedly comfy with is being thrown out?

I hope they have a way forward, otherwise the next 15 weeks will be as miserable as the 1st two. Â Tyrod must really be great and Roman was restricting him - gosh, let's hope so.

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) That play call was ridiculous. One of the most obvious play calls I have ever seen  If you're running into that line - you do it on 3rd. You may get just enough.  If you want to sneak on 4th, it needs to be really close, and you need to quick count it.  They were a full yard back. Lost yards on a stupid EJ sneak. Wasted a timeout. and then ran a hb dive into an 11 man front.  What are you DOING?!!!?! Edited September 16, 2016 by dneveu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 This is an excellent move!!! Â -Tyrod is better than he's playing right now. Â -We can't even run the ball when that is supposed to be Roman's driving force. Â -We can't perform the basic football function of hurrying up. Â -We can't avoid 3 and outs, can't possess the ball when that's supposed to be our strength. Â -He's never really coached a particularly good offense anyway, after like 6 years.

fridge Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Give up 400 yards to Ryan Fitzpatrick, turn around and fire Roman. Sure, why not  I gotta say, this is one of the most transparent scapegoat firings in recent memory.  Honestly, had they done this after week 1, few would argue...but after letting Fitzpatrick hang 37 points on you...seems pretty obvious Rex is scared. I'd expect the blame game to continue as the losses pile on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
