Lol haha.

 

He may be a billionaire but the guy obviously doesn't know **** about sports.

And you sir, know more about sports??

 

The guy grew 4 billion from a 10K investment. I think his brain is pretty powerful.. including sports.

 

How much do you make now? How much is in your savings account?

Greg Roman is being made a scapegoat in Buffalo. The offense didn't give up 37 points.





The Bills D hasn't played worth a dam in the last 2 seasons yet the OC gets fired. That's sounds about right. #saveyourass







In the NFL when things go wrong the decision makers start pointing their fingers at subordinates. It's the game of survival and sucks

They were just getting straight up beat. Sometimes upfield with no safety help, but other times just stopping and letting Darby Gilmore run right past them. It reminded me of what Sammy did to Revis last year.

I agree . straight up beat.

Fitz was actually very good last night. I saw spirals even.

But it was still a loss to middling team on both side of the ball.

Thats two in a row

Dave, he was tight ends coach at Stanford, he wasn't calling plays. That was David Shaw. Harbaugh brought him with him to SF, when Shaw wouldn't come/got the Stanford HC job. Harbaugh gave him his first OC job in SF. I'm sure Romans playbook is a lot like Harbaughs but that doesn't mean he can call plays and game plan as well as Harbaugh can.

 

So for me the success you are giving Roman in SF, because he was calling play under Harbaughs supervision, can be attributed to Harbaugh.

Thanks re Stanford. I will go back to the fact that the Bills offense last season was their best since 1999. Yet the OC was fired. Go figure.

its really bizarre as the spot to draw the line.

 

if he was worried about inconsistency and the issues mentioned, i dont know how you bring on Rob in the offseason.

 

It's not a justifiable move IMO given his ALL-IN mantra. After last night's carving up his defense by a marginal QB, the 1st place he should be looking is at himself. I can't see how he keeps any credibility with the players.

Although these statements are true, Roman's game plan and the execution there of haven't done the defense any favors by putting them right back on the field time and time again.

I don't see any way that Pegs forces his second year coach to do this after only two games. He might express disgruntlement, but I just can't see something that heavy handed. Plus Rex is notoriously loyal - I think he'd be kicking and screaming if this weren't his move.

 

In my opinion, this is 100% Rex's move, good or bad. And Rex has never been knee-jerk about getting rid of people. So that makes me think there must have been disagreements of philosophy, play calling, time management, etc. And something last night (besides getting their ass kicked) pushed Rex too far. So he pulled the trigger, with the support of a pissed off owner.

 

I don't know whether it's a good decision or not, but I hated the play calling this year (and many times last year), and the lateness of getting in plays was so consistent as to be laughable.

 

Anyway, at least we have some drama to obsesses about, since we're not getting much joy out of the actual football games.

By the way - Terry and Kim, good luck attracting top-tier coordinators from now on.

Please. Let's not act like anyone in the NFL business, or any business in general, aren't aware that this is how things work out.

 

Someone was getting fired. **** either runs down hill or someone falls on the sword. Even if Rex had the balls to fall on the sword now, Roman was gone once the session ended and the new coach was hired.

 

Any new coaches or coordinates know how the business game is played. Terry's money is still green enough to attract new personnel.

i said it in another thread -- the explanations about last night, the move today (both fire and promotion).... things just arent adding up, which doesnt bode well for real turnaround.

 

the wheels really could be coming off quick. and with the hire of rob, and now putting his own guy at OC -- it just feels like hes circling wagons around himself
