dorquemada Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 We're all in agreement that this season is disappointing. Weirdly, I think most of us agree that we would rather see them lose out at this point because it's the best chance to trigger Terry and Kim doing a legit housecleaning. It's a strange position for a fanbase. A significant reason for the depth of feeling this year is that we all (most of us - some of you were predicting 6-10 or 7-9. I wish we had a sticky from the pre-season prediction thread, maybe next year?) were expecting more. We all wanted the playoffs, I think even among the doubters, we were at least expecting a competitive team that fought every game. Allowing for those two ideas, it seems like there's been a major malfunction somwhere on this team. Obviously Rex is a joke of a coach, and Tryhard has regressed, which probably has a few reasons behind it. Here's my theory, and I come by it from my experience managing people, including my current team of 7 professionals. This team has an individual or perhaps more than one, who is/are embittered against the team management or leadership in some way, and are working at cross-purposes to the vision and plan. Hell, it might even be the coaching staff not getting along with Whaley, though i think maybe that's a little less likely to play out than a player or 3 sowing discord in the locker room. I don't know who it might be, except i still feel like Marcel Dareus has made this team worse since he returned. Before anyone takes offense on his behalf, i'm just sharing my observation. I'm not sure he's motivated or smart enough to do that effectively, but I don't doubt that some players resent his enormous salary and lackadaisical attitude. That's my idea, anyone have any other suggestions as to who might be the malfactor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nucci Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 The Pegula's started this by hiring Ryan and have him report directly to them. Either give Whaley control over the HC and personnel or fire him and bring in a GM you trust to fix this team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBaumer Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Kyle Williams and Eric Wood are the 2 leaders in this organization and without them, you see the cancer. A bunch of overpaid, grown men who don't have the discipline to perform without having their hand held. The person responsible for bringing in a bunch of quitters is your cancer.

If his coach flops then let him go after that. Don't tie his hands and then try to pawn him off as the scapegoat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Don't know if it's really a cancer as much as impatience, constantly changing direction, coupled with years of RW being cheap when it came to coaches and front office, led to years of decline. Coupled with terrible luck in finding a QB which they certainly aren't alone in, half the teams in the league suffered the same fate. Assuming the rumors are true that Whaley wanted to hire Hue Jackson, but Pegula over ruled him, would be reason to keep Whaley around and let him hire the next coach.

billsfan714 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) I lived away from Buffalo for 34 years now, but was born a Bills fan. I watch a lot of football, have had Sunday ticket for years. I never see the fire with this team. Live around Pittsburgh fans.....some of this stuff wouldnt be tolerated by a good team. Somebody would step up....There would be anger on the sidelines. I dont know I just never see the passion with team. They are quick to go in a shell. Instead of someone rising up and making a play you have people sink to an occasion, make a bad mistake at a critical time. They get run over, burned in coverage, miss an open reciever, drop a pass, miss a kick, cant make coaching adjustments and no clock management. Every week its something new. And it just keeps happening.. Edited December 13, 2016 by billsfan714 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beef Jerky Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Well I heard cancer spreads quickly so I am going to guess everyone in the organization is a cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepsicat17 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Should hire a president of football operations. Coaches and GM report to him and he reports to the owners. The president of football operations has final say on all hiring and drafts and free agents and uses the info and requests from scouts, coaches and GM as opinions to consider. But he makes the final decisions, no ifs, ands or buts and answers only to the owners. That would fix 75% of the issues with this organization in a heartbeat.
